BK -00028 PG:0430 The Board next considered a contract for construction of a workshop at San Lee Park. Parks & Recreation Director John Payne asked the Board to approve a contract with Sanford Metal Building, LLC for construction of a 24' x 36' workshop for the Park Manager and staff. The following bids were received for said project: Thames Construction $66,523 Sanford Metal Building $46,540 CSI $93,026 Mr. Payne stated the project was posted on the county website, by phone and/or in person to vendors. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for August 16th but only one bidder attended. A second mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on August 231 with three bidders in attendance. A total of $79,548 has been budgeted for the project. The low bid of $46,540, from Sanford Metal Building, is for the building only. Other items such as HVAC, water, septic, drive improvements, and some landscaping still have to be considered and provided. After discussion, Commissioner Oldham moved to approve a Service Contract with Sanford Metal Building, in the amount of $46,540, a copy of which is attached to these Minutes and by this reference made a part hereof. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sloan, and Smith Nay: None The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered a contract to provide guardianship services for Social Service cases that would benefit from clinical services. Social Services Director Brenda Potts asked the Board to approve a contract with Empowering Lives Guardianship Services through assistance from the Sandhills Center. It was noted that guardianship cases are individuals that are in need of supervision and there are no family members able or willing to accept that responsibility. If no other individual can be found to accept these responsibilities, Social Services is made the guardian by the courts. Numerous cases are those being discharged from mental health facilities. Ms. Victoria Whitt, Executive Director of the Sandhills Center presented this collaborative proposal to her board that has been approved for funding. Ms. Potts stated Social Services currently has 26 guardianship cases that could benefit from these services. The amount of the agreement would not exceed $30,000. This would allow Social Services to contract for the day-to-day guardianship services rendered to 10 individuals. The cost would be $250 per month, per client. With this contract, Social Services' only responsibility for the 10 individuals would be to monitor the cases to ensure guardianship services are rendered by Empowering Lives. Social Services will continue to provide payee services if appropriate. If the number of cases remain fairly stable, there will be a savings in county dollars for adult services. After discussion, Commissioner Smith moved to approve a Contract between Empowering Lives Guardianship Services and the Lee County Department of Social Services effective October 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, a copy of which is attached to these Minutes and by this reference made a part hereof. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sloan, and Smith Nay: None The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. I
