042 <br />LEE COUNTY CAMPUS <br />1105 Kelly Drive • Sanford, NC 27330 <br />919-775-5401 • (PAX)919-718-7378 <br />SERVING CHATHAM, LEE & HARNE"rT COUNTIES <br />Mr. John Crompton <br />County Manager, Lee County <br />106 Hillcrest Drive <br />Sanford, NC 27330 <br />Dear Mr. Crompton: <br />I am writing to ask that you add a request from CCCC to the Board agenda for the <br />next meeting of the Lee County Board of Commissioners. As you know, after several <br />delays the College is close to completion of the Emergency Services Training Center at <br />the former site of the Sanford/Lee County Airport. If things continue to go well we <br />should be able to occupy the new classroom building at that location by early October. <br />However, to bring the project to a successful conclusion we need the Board to approve <br />the release of $ 109,776 (carried in account # 4814 as project contingency) to cover some <br />unexpected costs. <br />I have attached a copy of a college request to the Board in June of'2007 that outlines <br />some of the additional costs incurred early in the project that required re-design and re- <br />S bidding of the project. We had incurred unanticipated costs at that point in excess of <br />$ 300,000. After re-design and re-bidding of the project we needed $ 92,173 of <br />additional budget to be able to accept the low bid. The Board approved that request. At <br />that time (as outlined in the request) our project contingency need was estimated at <br />$ 68,500 for the remainder of the project. <br />Unanticipated costs in the actual construction phase of the project are outlined below. <br />1. Replace unsuitable soil in preparation of parking lot for paving. $ 33,666.00 <br />2. Placing 2" conduit between buildings for communications link. 1,549.86 <br />3. Repair drain inlets at three locations. 1,650.00 <br />4. Build-up and re-pave 200' section of driveway between new <br />building and automotive shop to aid in drainage and prevention <br />of flooding of auto shop. 21,634.13 <br />S 58.999.99 <br />With the release of contingency funds set aside by the county, we believe that this <br />project can be completed in `ready to use' condition. Thank you for your assistance in <br />this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />G. Wayne Robinson, CPA, MBA <br />Vice President for Administrative Services. <br />Lee County <br />Managers Office <br />SEP 0 4 2003 <br />
