County Manager's Report — May 15, 2017 Onaoina Projects San Lee Park — Based on the revised project schedule, the new completion date is July 15. Although this is 45 days beyond the contracted completion date, the contractor, architect and county believe that there has been a good faith effort by all parties to bring this project in on time. At this time, liquidated damages are not being considered. They will not be considered as long as significant work continues to progress on the project. Work at the building is progressing. I would encourage you to visit the site. If you want to do this please let me know and we will arrange for you to tour the building. Staff is also working with volunteers to clean up the park for this summer. The Park looks great. We are working with SAGA to hold a ribbon cutting at the facility in August Old Bowling Alley & Historic Courthouse — General Services is in the final phases of completing this project. We should be completed in early June. We hope to have Adult Probation in the facility by the start of the new fiscal year. When this occurs, planning will begin on the space that is remaining in our courthouse facilities. After our last meeting, we began working on an RFQ for architects to review the remaining space at the Old Bowling Alley, Historic Courthouse and the new Courthouse. Using this space will be important to addressing spacing needs for these departments in the coming years. We are hopeful that an architect can make the most of the space that is being made available by the Boards purchase of the Old Bowling Alley. OT Sloan Pool —We are moving forward with opening the pool for the upcoming summer season. Painting of the pool began on Thursday April 13. Weather has slowed the progress on the repairs and painting. The new filtration tanks have been ordered and we are waiting on delivery. The heaters were recently delivered to the site and are being installed. It is anticipated that the pool will be open for Memorial Day weekend. Colon Road Water — Our first hurdle to overcome has come up as we work towards starting this project. The City of Sanford's water line maintenance policy requires that the lines they have responsibility for maintaining must be accessed on a road that is of NCDOT specifications. This poses a problem for the proposed water lines on two dirt roads. We are working through a solution with the engineer at this time. In addition, McGill and Associates has developed a letter to go out to all the property owners. We are reviewing the letter. The letter will offer a date and time for the property owners to meet with staff and the engineer to discuss the project. There will be 62 property owners eligible for assistance in getting city water due to the established '/2 -mile impact radius around the site. All 62 -property owners will be sent the letter. Most of these properties already have a water line running in front of their property. The letter will explain the
