Orange County Commissioners
106 E. Margaret Lane
Hillsborough, North Carolina
Re: Bids: Jail Facility ^ '
Hillsborough, North Carolina ' ' "( '.
Project Number: 7603708, F\ A-2
Dear Commissioners:
-�
Bids were taken on the Jail ify on 19 January 1981' Due to a lack
of the legal number of bidders;� thnae,, hor the kitchen equipment contract,
we rebid the kitchen equipment contract as of 30 January 1no)'
The new kitchen equipment bids wore opened by Mr. Dat+is and myself, having
two that bid in the first bidding process.
received only two h��, the same _
Food Equipment Contract Company bid $31,380, + kept the
same bid as previously stated of $25"200'10' Therefore the apparent low
bidder is Gardner-Benoit.
We are submitting to you a break down of the bids as received on 19 January
1981 and a prepared chart that will show the actual bid as it relates to our
estimate. In addition we have shown the difference between our estimate and ' '
the low bidder as well as the difference between the high and low bidder of
each category. � ,
The total bid, i.e. all prime contractors added - is in the amount
of o1,096,949'00' If the County wishes t add the alternate taken on the
•
generator it should include an additional $17,632'00, If this.is to be
done it would bring the total to $1,114,581'00 We are also including
break down of the items and our estimate of these items that were added to
the facility during the review process that took about 60 days. The items
added represent changes requested by the Commissioners, State Agencies, and
Orange County Health Department.
During the construction phase, the County cov10 incur additional expenses to

' • consultants for testing +h� +i | / area as well as concrete during times
pay
that it is being placed on the Job' This is standard in all construction
r«»tnacts and is at the e d|scrw+ion of the Architects/Owner. We would u|d hmve
no other way +ode�e 0 |ma if they are meeting the specification requirements
fs
without these tests. In addition County additional expense
to Duke Power for providing |oct 1cal service to the building and
it includes furnishing the transformer. This latter expense would be in
the area of $1,500.00 and this is simply our mstlma+e' We are requesting g
underground service and the for the
difference between overhead and underground. The overhead service
would
be
f'~~^ i.e. no charge, and the underground would cost due to trenching.
.
We do recommend strongly the County underground to the building.
As in the Grady Brown Project, if rock is encountered during excavation or drilling of elevator r,
an additional expense will be necessary.
We have reviewed all the bids with the bid documents and find no apparent
overlapping of bids between prime contractors. The windows were bid by
Roanoke Iron Company and the other companies did not include them in their
bid. On our tabulation sheet we show an amount of $243,500.80 for the low
^ the actual base bid is $2O5j000'00
=�~~' of the ~— equipment. Mr. Gledhill , we advise to sign a
~'- -- -- by Iron at $205,000'00 and then we shall add the
� -- ��"`=-^ with Roanoke | r
$38,500.00 as a change order. This Th| would cover all the windows and instal- ,
lotion of these in the building.
. �
Having reviewed all the bids we would recommend to the County the low bidders
as follows:
| `
General Contractor: Security Building Company
Jail Equipment: Roanoke iron & Bridge, Inc,
Plumbing: Condor Mechanical Contractors, Inc.
Heating & Cooling: Comfort Engineer, Inc.
Electrical : Pendergraph & Thomerson
Kitchen Equipment: Gardner-Benoit.
Should there be any questions we would be happy to discuss them with you

RESOLUTION
During the past several years, and nore particularly during the past few
nonths, the Orange County Bar has noted the substantial efforts made by the
County Commissioners to improve jail conditions in Orange County. We recognize
the inordinate amount of time and energy that has been devoted towards correcting
the deficiencies in the current jail and towards beginning construction of a
. _
now facility, and appreciate the Commissioners' concern and work on this issue.
::,. ';'.,.• .
Although we know that plans for a new facility have already been drawn up . .„ .
, .. .
and put out for bids, two problems have recently come to our attention which we
,. . - ...
feel merit serious reconsideration of the current plans, even if this results in .. , , ; .. ....
same delay in the beginning of construction. These problems relate to the
amount of living space provided in each cell, and the need for an indoor exercise
room.
, •
As we understand the current plans, they call for thirty-five (35) square
feet of living space for each inmate in each one-person cP11. While this meets
the bare minimum required under ourrent,NOrth Carolina regulations, it is sub-
St2ntially less than the minimum required by many recognized correctional standards.
For example, the American Correctional'.Association's Manual of Standards (1977)
..... .
provides for a minimum of sixty (60), square feet peralgmate for inmates kept in
the cell for less than ten hours adaY and eighty (2 square feet per inmate for
those confined ten hours or more; the Federal Standards for Corrections recently
adopted by the United States Department Of Justice also requires between sixty (60)
and eighty (80) square feet per inmate; and the National Sheriff's Association
Handbook on Jail Architecture requires seventy (70) square feet per prisoner. ... _.
•
Given the wide disparity between these standards and the minimum currently
required in North Carolina, it is entirely possible that the North Carolina
standards will be amended, leaving Orange County with a costly new jail that is
rot in compliance with state regulations. More importantly, a civil rights action
brought in federal court by prisoners held in the thirty-five (35) square foot .
cells could result in a finding that the cell size is unconstitutional under the
Eighth Amendment and an order that the new jail be modified, at considerable
public expense- In fact, these same potential problems recently caused the public
officials in Catawba County to modify their plans for a new jail by substantially
increasing the 0,...Juunt of cell-space per inmate.
Similar concerns exist with regard to the lack of an indoor exercise room.
The American Correctional Association Standards for Adult local Detention Facilities
states that "indoor space should be provided for . . . a moderate amount of
physical exercise throughout the year . . . . Exercise and recreation are essenf-ial
to good hoAlth." Again, the failure to provide such a room may result in a new
jail that is susceptible to a constitutional challenge and the expenditure of more
money to renovate the facility than would be required to incorporate an exercise
room into the original design. : .
g -
In light of these problems, the Orange County Bar Association respectfully
requests that the Commissioners of Orange County:
.-.' .

(1) Rave the current plans designate a room for indoor
exercise sufficient to meet constitutional. standards;
(2) Review the American Correctional Association Manual of
Standards, the Federal Standards for Corrections, and
the National Sheriff's Association Handbook on Jail
Architecture to make sure that the plans for the eceew
Orange County Jail are substantially in
with these recognized standards.

INTERIM REPORT ON
FEASIBILITY STUDY ON SOLUTION TO SANITARY SEWER PROBLEM
' '• EFLAND ESTATES SUBDIVISION
. OCO 8002
. . This interim report provides only the results of the investigation and
•
1 analysis of the Efland Estates sewer problem. The purpose of this report is
.
to provide guidance in a decision to apply for grants to fund the construction
of a solution to the problem.
. ,
.. ',"... I. REGIONAL vs LOCAL SOLUTION
it is this firm's opinion that the problem should be addressed only as
it applies to Efland Estates Subdivision, and not to the greater Efland
area. The factors behind this opinion are
. . , A. There are no other identified septic tank failures in the greater
area, and no impending failures are known.
. .
—
B. The greater area is in a water supply watershed, and stimulation
. .
of development is undesirable.
C. Regional solution becomes extremely expensive (into the millions).
D. The normal means of funding regional. sewerage works is through EPA;
but EPA funds could not be available until October, 1982.
E. Qualifications for other sources of funding are better if the
project focuses specifically on the existing health threat in
Efland Estates.

IiI.. FUNDING SOURCrq
, . , •-
A. EPA -- not a viable source for immediate funding. 201 Plan modifi-
cation required. Lengthy environmental review, Funds available
in October of 1982 at the earliest.
B. HUD Imminent Threat to Health -- excellent possible sources.
. „ ..,
._,
Applicant simply requests assistance from the HUD Area Manager. The
existence of an eminent threat to health must be confirmed by an
-----. . [
authority other than the applicant. HUD is non-committal on
whether Efland Estates would be eligible; convincing evidence would
be required. If Area Manager becomes convinced, he invites a full
application from the applicant. A-95 review is waived. HUD may
issue the applicant a letter to proceed to incur costs to alleviate
the imminent threat.
C. North Carolina Clean Water Bond Grant -- funds are available, but
their maximum participation is 50% of the non-Federal share, not to
exceed 25% of the total project cost. Thus, if HUD paid 90%, State
would pay 5%; if HUD paid 75%, State would pay 12.5%; if HUD paid
50% or less, State would pay 25%, and in all cases the balance must
be made up by the locality.
D. Recommendation -- Apply for 100% funding from HUD imminent threat to
health program.

Dear Mr.-
In official session cin Monday, January 12, 1981, the Hillsborough
Town Board agreed to permit the Cornwallis Subdivision to connect to
the Town's water and sewer lines. At this meeting, Mr. Phil Post dis-
cussed with the Board the benefits of moving a 20,000 gallon storage
tank to the Cornwallis Subdivision area and upgrading the pumping sta-
tion
to the area'. The Town Board informed Mr. Post the Town would be
unable to provide financial assistance for the proposed project, since . !
the Town presently has unfinished on-going wter-sewer projects within •
the Town limits. Mr. Post was asked to submit to the Town his proposal
for moving the 20,000 gallon storage tank and for upgrading the pumping
station to the area.
Should you have further questions regarding this matter, please
contact me.

Sincerely, 4 .

MEMO
TO: County Managers Office
FROM: Planning Staff
DATE: January 30, 198i
SUBJECT: Alternatives for the application of the Flood Damage Prevention
Ordinance.
The Planning Staff feels there are two distinct alternatives possible
for the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. Basically, the two alternatives
are Alternative B, which would allow no development within the flood plain
or Alternative A, which would allow some development provided the first
floor elevation is higher the Base Flood elevation (Alternative A is contained
in Section 4.2 of the draft ordinance) Alternative B would require few changes
in the attached ordinance. The major changes would occur in Article 4, Section
4.3 which would read:
4.3 Construction within Floodwa s and Flood.lains Restricted
a. No structure may be constructed and no substantial improvement of an
existing structure may take place within any floodway of floodplain,
other than allowed in 4.2;
Section 4.3 (h), 4,3 (c), and 4.3 (d) woulrd be deleted under Alternative

FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE .
Li I,A
ARTICLE 1. STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS OF FACT, PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
1.1 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION
The Legislature of the State of North Carolina has in Section 110 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1968 (Title XIII of the Housing and Urban Development
Act of 1968 (Pub. L. 90-448), 42 U.S.C. 4001-4128, and 44 CFR Part 67.4(a)
delegated the responsibility to local governmental units to adopt regulations
designed to promote the b public health, safety, and general welfare of its
citizenry. Therefore, the Board of County Commissioners of Orange County, North
Carolina does ordain as-follows:
1.2 FINDINGS OF FACT
• (a) The flood hazard areas of Orange_ County are subject) to periodic inundation
which results in loss of life, property, health and safety hazards,
disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public
expenditures for flood protection add relief, and impairment of the
tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and
general welfare.
(b) These flood losses are caused by the cnantlative effect of obstructions
in flood plains causing increases in flood heights and velocities, and
by the occupancy in flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods or
hazardous to other lands which are inadequately elevated, flood-proofed,
or otherwise protected from flood darAges.
• 1.3 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
It is the purpose of this ordinance to promote the public health, safety and
