Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize an amendment to the design contract with HH Architecture, PA for design development and construction administration services related to the Office of Emergency Services Fleet Maintenance Project in the amount of $138,182.50 for a total revised fee of $578,882.50 plus reimbursables and contingency fees not to exceed to total budget of $600,917.50.
The Office of Emergency Services (OES) Fleet Maintenance Facility is responsible for servicing and repairing ambulances for Durham County Emergency Medical Services. The current facility, located on Stone Park Court, must be vacated due to a railroad realignment project.
On June 9, 2025, the Board approved a design contract with HH Architecture for design development and construction administration services for a new Fleet Maintenance Facility to be located on Hamlin Road in the amount $440,700.00 plus reimbursable and contingency not-to-exceed an amount of $462,735.00. However, during the design development phase, the Hamlin Road site was determined to be unsuitable for the program's operational needs.
A new site has since been identified on 1129 East Geer Street that meets the requirements of the program. As a result, all design and construction efforts have been redirected from the Hamlin Road location to the East Geer Street property.
Funding for this contract will be made available pending approval of the CPA and amendment to Samet Construction's GMP #2.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: Safe & Resilient Community - create happy, healthy, and safe places for residents and County employees.
