On September 22, 2025, the Board approved funding for the LCHC Modernization Upgrades in the amount of $591,000. Since that time project scope and building code requirements have increased costs associated with initial repairs.
The Lincoln Community Health Center (LCHC) is located at 1301 Fayetteville St., Durham serving the uninsured in the Durham community. The funds will be used to complete repairs and replacement of various systems within the facility in the amount of $591,000.00 including a 10% contingency. (See Attachment 1, Pages 1-37).
The facility was constructed in 1982 and many of the building systems require repairs and/or replacement to keep the facility operational serving the most vulnerable in the community. The repairs and replacements include replacing the existing generator, hot water coils associated with buildings chiller equipment, replacing (2) existing elevators and patching and striping of existing parking lots and associated activities.
Funding for these contracts will be provided by Durham County with the Lincoln Community Health Center administering the contracts to expedite the repairs. Lincoln has agreed to commit initial funding for the projects and receive reimbursement from the County, similar to what the County has done on previous Grant-funded projects performed at the facility. Completion of these repairs and improvements will provide a reliable working environment for staff and citizens seeking Public Health services at Lincoln Community Health Center.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This project aligns with Goal 5 by providing a reliable working environment for staff and citizens seeking Public Health services
