The Board approved (AAF# 25-0497) a lease between One Park Venture LLC (Landlord), and the County of Durham (Tenant) at 4000 Sandcar Way, Durham NC 27713 for the Durham County Sheriff’s Office Annex in Research Triangle Park. The landlord agreed to pay for construction upfit costs up to $875,000, and the landlord will provide maintenance, structural repairs, and janitorial services. After several iterations of valued engineering with stakeholders, the project remains over budget and requires an additional $275,000 in funding for essential audio-visual equipment. This agenda item is requesting the transfer of remaining PAYGO dollars from a recently completed capital project inside the detention facility to the Sheriff’s Office general operating budget to purchase and install this equipment.
