County Manager's Report — April 18, 2022 On-going Proiects Moore Training Facility - CCCC — Our environmental engineers, Terraquest, continue to work with DEQ on addressing the removal of the Hazardous Waste Permit from the Site. Since our last meeting, they have submitted a 500 plus page report outlining the soil reports they have received in addition the plan they are recommending to close 23 of the 27 testing wells (SMUs) on site. The plan calls for continued monitoring around the sill area until the soil tests show the levels are at a "residential" level. They are also reviewing test results for high levels of arsenic in the test wells. Additional testing is being done to see if this a normal occurring situation on the site, which we are confident that it is at this point. The Community College has been notified of the notice to proceed with an RFQ for design services and begin the design phase of the facility. We have met with the President and Vice President of Administration/Finance to make sure we agree on a plan going forward. VinFast will be using the Moore Center for training and mockups of new vehicles. They want to start in 9 to 12 months. The College is moving quickly. We are in the process of developing the lease so they can take over the building July 1St. Interest continues to grow in the facility. The Moore Center will be a very busy place in the near future. Multi -Sports Complex — Since the Commissioners Last meeting, Staff along with McAdams (our designer) have met with several groups. First, Santiago met with the SASL President to discuss the three conceptual drawings (see attached PP). The team then met with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on April 5th and the Grow Play Succeed Group on April 6th. Both the Board and GPS support Concept Drawing C with A as the second choice. We continue to share the drawings with other partners and the consensus is support for C with A the second choice. At this point we would like for the Commissioners to decide which plan they would prefer so we can work with McAdams on the final concept and begin formal drawings for the project. Library Building Project — According to our Architect, Vines Architecture, and our Librarian, Beth List, the public comment period for this project has been a success. The team is now reviewing the survey and comments. The team also held a systems meeting to discuss maintenance and IT concerns. Conceptual designs are starting — 60-90 days. Courthouse — Government Center Projects — The main courthouse project is nearing completion. Punch list items are being addressed. The Contractor hopes to leave the building entirely by the end of April. Work continues in the Government Center. The contractor is indicating a May 31 completion date for this project. The Historic Courthouse renovation project is about to start. Santiago is meeting with State this week. Parking Lot Projects — All projects are complete except the security gates at the courthouse and lights at the Douglas Drive — COLTS parking lot. On both projects the items have been ordered. We are waiting on delivery. We anticipate completing these projects in the next 30 days.
