A team of surveyors (SM&E) was unable to obtain satisfactory compacting readings due to the severe decay of this area. The change order amount requested for 1, 5 and 6 is $61,807. This expenditure is covered by the bonds that were allocated to the Government Center as part of the renovation.

Mover: Cameron Sharpe For: 7 —Arianna Lavallee, Dr. Andre Knecht, Robert Reives, Cameron Sharpe, Kirk Smith, Bill Carver, Mark Lovick Motion Result: Passed VI.I Adjustment to Lee County Purchasing and Contracting Policy The Lee County Purchasing and Contracting Policy has been reviewed to assure compliance with Uniform Guidance Part 200 as required by the American Rescue Plan Act. The County had strived to keep its policy as restrictive or more restrictive than NC Law and/or the Uniform Guidance. Our recent review has shown one area in the purchase of construction or repair work where we are less restrictive than Uniform Guidance. That gap is shown in red on the attached graph. Uniform Guidance requires formal bidding in excess of$ 250,000 for construction or repair work. Our current policy requires formal bidding in excess of$300,000. Assistant County Manager/Finance Director Lisa Minter requested approval of a change to the policy to lower our threshold for formal bidding of construction or repair work to $250,000. She also requested the addition to the General Guidelines for Purchasing section of the policy a Civil Rights Policy, which is required by Federal law to adhere to nondiscrimination and nondiscriminatory use of Federal funds. Lee County will ensure entities receiving Federal financial assistance from the Treasury do not deny benefits or services, or otherwise discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin (including limited English proficiency), disability, age or sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), in accordance with the following authorities: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) Public Law 88 -352, 42 U.S.C. 2000d-1 et seq., and the Department's implementing regulations, 31 CFR part 22; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), Public Law 93-112, as amended by Public Law 93-516, 29 U.S.C. 794; Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX), 20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., and the 8
