Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve the lease extension for the OES Fleet Maintenance Facility located at 122 Stone Park Court for one year at an annual lease rate of $76,686.36, and to authorize the County Manager to execute all related documents to effect this lease agreement.
Since 2016, the Durham County Office of Emergency Services has leased the facility at 122 Stone Park Court for the purpose of performing maintenance and repairs to the County's fleet of emergency services vehicles. In 2022, the NCRR acquired the property in furtherance of their project to realign the railroad adjacent to this parcel. That realignment project will require the relocation of our OES Maintenance Facility, and is expected to begin in 2025, although no specific timeline had been provided by NCRR. Because of the impending relocation, this lease is for one year only, with the option to continue occupancy on a month-to-month basis until NCRR is ready to demolish the building. Staff continues to search for an alternative location suitable for this purpose.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: The attached Lease Renewal supports Goal 1 "Community Empowerment and Enrichment," and Goal 5 "Accountable, Efficient and Visionary Government."
Resource Persons: Nancy Mitchell, Senior Real Estate Officer; Peri Manns, Deputy Director Engineering and Environmental Services, Jay Gibson, P.E., CFM, Director of Engineering and Environmental Services
