Summary

Staff updated commissioners that the Redwood Convenience Center renovation budget rose to $5,756,515 from $4,067,818 due to inflation and regulatory requirements; staff recommended executing a $4,781,705 construction contract with CT Wilson Construction.

Chrissie Koroivui, Solid Waste Program Manager, updated the Board on Jan. 5 about the Redwood Convenience Center renovation, reporting increased costs and revised project scope.

Koroivui said the original 2023 estimate of $4,067,818 (including a county contribution of $754,618 and $3,313,200 from an EPA SWIFR grant) rose by $1,688,697 to a new total of $5,756,515. She attributed the increase to higher prices for steel, concrete, electrical and manufactured components, and to revisions required to meet NCDOT and City-County Planning site-access and stormwater requirements. Staff recommended executing a $4,781,705 construction contract with CT Wilson Construction Company and authorized related contracts and change orders within the approved project budget.

The Board expressed support for the project and thanked General Services staff for their work. No vote to award the contract was recorded in the work session minutes; staff will proceed with the procurement steps and recommended contract actions.
