PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid to Billings and Garrett, Inc. in the amount of
$112,736.80 to construct a sewer line to service the Homestead Community Center.
BACKGROUND: The Homestead Community Association donated the Homestead Community
Center to the County in the late 1980's. The facility is used regularly by the Recreation and
Parks Department to provide a variety of classes and activities to the community, as well as
meeting space for various groups.
The County has been servicing a failed on-site septic system via a pump-and-haul permit for in
excess of one year, pending completion of plans and approvals for a sewer line to be
constructed on the site.
Corley Redfoot Zack, Chapel Hill, the firm retained by the County in May 2006, has designed
and obtained the appropriate regulatory approvals for the project.
Bids have now been solicited for the work, with the lowest responsive bid that is responsible
being submitted by Billings and Garrett, Inc. in the amount of $112,736.80.
The work is anticipated to be completed approximately 60 days following the issuance of a
Notice to Proceed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The approved 2006-16 Capital Investment Plan includes $90,000 in
Two-Thirds Net Debt Reduction Bonds to cover the construction of the sewer line. That amount
was based on estimates from about eighteen months ago - before construction costs escalated
to the point that they are today. Should the Board award the bid to Billings & Garrett, Inc. staff
will bring a revised capital project ordinance increasing the project budget to an amount that will
cover the bid award.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board award a bid to Billings
and Garrett, Inc. in the amount of $112,736.80 to construct a sewer line to service the
Homestead Community Center; authorize the Budget Director to bring back a revised
Homestead Community Center Capital Project Ordinance sufficient to cover the cost of the bid
award; and authorize the Purchasing Director to execute any necessary paperwork.
