Motion: Motion that the proposed zoning map amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it would allow the expansion of an existing mobile home park in a rural area, while maintaining the quiet country character and minimizing the impact of the expansion on the adjoining property owners and the site has access to a public roadway and public water; therefore, the motion is to approve the rezoning request for the property identified as Lee County tax parcels 9528-93-8685-00 and 9528-93-6769-00, from Residential Agricultural (RA) to Azalea Lane Conditional Zoning District. Mover: Dr. Andre Knecht Moved To: Approve For: 7 - Amy Dalrymple, Kevin Dodson, Arianna Del Palazzo, Dr. Andre Knecht, Robert Reives, Cameron Sharpe, Kirk Smith Motion Result: Passed IV.D Lee County Bid 4837-02-20 Rejection of Bid for Renovations and Improvements to County Parks On July 23, 2020 sealed bids for the County Master Parks Plan Project were opened. Bids were opened from four separate companies, each one of these proposals were significantly over the budgeted amount as adopted in the FY 2021 Annual Budget and the approved projected costs detailed in the FY 2021- 2025 Capital Improvement Plan. County staff has met with the designer, Withers and Ravenel, and under North Carolina Law, the changes that would have to be made to bring the project within the framework of the existing budget would significantly change the scope of the project and therefore would require Development Services and Parks and Recreation to rebid the project with a new scope of plans. Staff has met with the design team and have made several modifications to the plans in order to provide value engineering flexibility in key tasks within each park. Bidding companies included JM Thompson $2,499,000 (15% Contingency would be $374,850) tentative total with contingency is $2,873,850 ($1,125,290 over CIP estimate) Sanford Contractors $2,916,489, BAR Construction $3,080,000, Fred Smith $3,190,000. The tentative new dates for rebidding are August 19 for the bid announcement in the Sanford Herald, Withers Ravenel and County Finance Portal August 27, mandatory WebEx Prebid August 31- September 4, mandatory escorted visits September 11, close out Prebit WebEx September 14, and the last chance for the RFI for the Addendum is September 22 at 2:00 p.m. for the new bid opening to be conducted using WebEx. After analyzing the bids, staff went through the plans with the Architect. Most of the cost overruns were the lighting at Kiwanis Children's' Park and OT Sloan Park. Staff has asked for alternates on the lighting and road and other improvements at OT Sloan. Temple Park and Horton Park Plans did not change and will not change in the rebid. The sink hole at Temple Park is part of the project due to a drainage pipe that collapsed. Baseball and softball fields at Temple Park will be replaced with a walking trail, open space, playground equipment, and basketball courts.
