PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid to Mainline Contracting, Inc of Durham, North Carolina to
construct a recycling center at The Home Depot at the Hampton Pointe shopping center in Hillsborough,
BACKGROUND: The Hampton Pointe Recycling Center is to be constructed as a full service un-staffed
recycling dropoff center similar to the center at University Mall in Chapel Hill, The center is a
replacement for the previous Hillsborough recycling center, which was located until July 2004 in the
WalMart parking lot at the Hillsborough Commons shopping center, The County's consulting engineering
firm for the Solid Waste Management Department (Draper Aden Associates) and staff prepared the plans
and specifications as part of bid solicitation 1449. The bid solicitation was advertised on the County
website, A pre-bid conference was held on August 19.
Five contractors received the bid package. Two bids were received, Mainline Contracting, Inc of
Durham, North Carolina submitted the lowest responsive bid of $115,500, which was in line with the
engineer's estimate of $124,350. Mainline is the contractor who is constructing the new Home Depot and
is currently onsite. They have indicated they can start work soon after receipt of a notice to proceed.
Their contract calls for work on the recycling center to be completed within 90 days, Given Mainline's
presence at the site already and presumably an easier and shorter mobilization period, staff are
optimistic that the site construction can be completed before the end of the calendar year and that the
new dropoff recycling site can go into operation in January 2006.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total purchase price, if approved by the Board, would be $115,500. Funds have
been allocated in the adopted 2005-2006 Solid Waste Management departmental budget to cover this
expenditure,
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board award a bid to Mainline
Contracting, Inc of Durham, North Carolina for a total of $115,500, and authorize the Purchasing Director
to execute the necessary paperwork
