Pitt County approves $1.09 million contract to relocate Pit Area transit facility
Summary
The Pitt County Board approved a contract amendment to relocate the Pit Area transit site to the Technology Enterprise Center, accepting Berry Building Group's low bid of $1,035,000 and adding a 5% contingency for a total contract of $1,086,750.
A county presenter asked the Board of Commissioners to approve a contract amendment to relocate the Pit Area transit operation to the Technology Enterprise Center, telling commissioners six bids were received and the low bidder was Berry Building Group at $1,035,000.
The presenter asked the board to approve a 5% contingency to cover unknowns during the project, bringing the total contract and budget amendment to $1,086,750. A commissioner asked whether that amount included paving and furniture; the presenter said paving and furniture were not included and staff are working with facilities staff to assess parking and secure storage for vans.
The presenter noted this low bid was well below an earlier anticipated cost of more than $2 million for the project and asked the board to authorize moving forward with the contract and contingency. The board moved, seconded and voted to approve the contract amendment as presented (vote tallies were not specified on the record).
