Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to amend the contract with HDR Engineering Inc. of the Carolinas in the amount of $30,470 to provide design, bidding, and contract administration for the installation of a whole site generator at the Northern Durham Convenience Center located at 11894 North Roxboro Road. Upon execution of this agreement, the new contract with HDR Engineering Inc. of the Carolinas will be a not-to-exceed amount of $660,832.00. The contract amendment will use existing project funds available in Capital Improvement Project #4190 DCO79.
HDR Engineering Inc. of the Carolinas was selected to provide design services for this project through RFQ No. 19-007, Architectural Services for Upgrades to Northern Durham County Solid Waste Convenience Sites, advertised on August 11, 2018. HDR assisted the County with the development of the Northern Convenience Center, from master planning and permitting all the way through construction administration. The new convenience center opened in August 2022.
The facility included accommodations for a portable backup generator to provide enough power to maintain operations of key functions of the administrative building, but not to operate the site for waste disposal. A whole site generator would allow the facility to maintain full site operations for citizens during periods of power loss in this area of the County.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: The new facility aligns with Goal 5 by providing continuity of services during a power outage.
