Action Agenda
Item No. 8-e
SUBJECT: Approval of a Construction Contract and the Repurposing of Funds from
Existing Capital Projects and New Financing, and Approval of Budget
Amendment #5-A for the Remediation, Repair, and Reconstruction of the Phillip
Nick Waters Emergency Services Building
DEPARTMENT: Asset Management Services
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:
Contract with BAR Construction Company, Angel Barnes, Capital Projects Manager,
Inc. 919-245-2628
Itemized Budget Sheet Travis Myren, Deputy County Manager,
919-245-2308
PURPOSE: To approve a construction contract with Bar Construction Company, Inc., as well
as the repurposing of available budgeted funds from several existing capital projects and new
financing, for the remediation, repair, and reconstruction of the Phillip Nick Waters Emergency
Services Building, and to approve Budget Amendment #5-A to finance the project.
BACKGROUND: The Phillip Nick Waters Emergency Services building experienced water
intrusions that were exacerbated by heavy rains and flooding associated with Hurricanes
Florence and Michael. As these intrusions were investigated, staff found mold growth behind
walls under the windows, and in building's heating and ventilating system. Based on this
finding, the County retained a forensic engineer to determine the cause of the water intrusions.
The engineer found that the intrusions were linked to the roof, windows, and split face concrete
blocks.
Due to the extensive work that will need to be completed for the repairs, the Emergency
Services building has been removed from service and will not be utilized for operations until the
cleaning, remediation, roof repairs, block sealing, and other repairs are complete. Boomerang
Design was retained to provide a complete design for the remediation, repairs and
construction. The prevalence and extent of mold growth requires the entire facility to be
cleaned, and remediated including the removal of all drywall inside the facility along the
external walls. This will include removing all drywall, existing Styrofoam insulation and hat
channels down to the concrete blocks. All contents inside the facility are to be professionally
cleaned in addition to the remediation and restoration of the drywall, insulation, block sealing,
and roof repairs.
The scope of work includes:
• cleaning all contents within the entire building,
• removing all water damaged and mold contaminated building materials,
• providing testing services to ensure no other contaminates are found within the building,
2
• rebuilding the exterior office and building space walls,
• removing and reworking all electrical components,
• cleaning existing heating and cooling system located throughout the building, including
the all exterior and interior HVAC units, and replacing select units for humidity control.
• replacing all contaminated flooring and ceiling tiles,
• repair the existing roof system, including equipment curbs and parapet walls,
• reattaching the gutter system,
• obtaining all necessary permits and other documentation necessary to complete the full
remediation and reconstruction as called out in the scope of work.
• Removal of all emergency services communication equipment and reinstallation
• temporary off site facility for administrative staff
• temporary on site facility for Logistics' staff
Since this project was not anticipated as part of the Capital Budget, a budget amendment is also
necessary to finance this project. Staff recommends that the following funds totaling $632,250
be reallocated from existing projects, as well as approving new financing of $1,846,209 needed
to fund the total costs of $2,478,459, including contingency funds, for the remediation and
reconstruction of the Emergency Services building. This budget amendment provides for the
reallocation of funds and amends the following Capital Project Ordinances:
