That the Virginia General Assembly maintain the moratorium on mining uranium indefinitely, or until the industry provides proof through an independent scientific study that it is capable of performing such activities without hazardous impacts to the natural resources and public health of the Commonwealth. 2. The scientific study must be provided by a person or persons that are not affiliated with, employed by, or hired by Virginia Uranium Incorporated, its agents or employees, or any person or company that is involved in uranium mining or milling.

A- 121311 -9.d ITEM NO. 1 -5 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: December 13, 2011 AGENDA ITEM: Request for authorization to negotiate a contract for a construction project where the lowest bid is within ten percent (10 %) of available funds — Glenvar Library Construction SUBMITTED BY: Daniel R. O'Donnell Assistant County Administrator APPROVED BY: B. Clayton Goodman, III County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Bids for construction of the Glenvar Library were submitted and opened on December 1, 2011. We received a total of eight (8) bids. All of the bids were over the funds available for the construction portion of the project, but the lowest bid was only approximately six percent (6 %) over available funds. Sec. 2.2 -4318 of the Code of Virginia authorizes negotiations with the lowest responsible bidder, and provides as follows: § 2.2 -4318. Negotiation with lowest responsible bidder. Unless canceled or rejected, a responsive bid from the lowest responsible bidder shall be accepted as submitted, except that if the bid from the lowest responsible bidder exceeds available funds, the public body may negotiate with the apparent low bidder to obtain a contract price within available funds. However, the negotiation may be undertaken only under conditions and procedures described in writing and approved by the public body prior to issuance of the Invitation to Bid and summarized therein. Consistent with State Code, the County's "Procurement Policy & Procedures Manual" in Section 7.1 provides as follows: Page 1 of 3 7.1 A contract shall be awarded with reasonable promptness, by written notice to the lowest responsible bidder whose bid meets the requirements and criteria set forth in the invitation for bids. In the event all bids for a construction project exceed available funds and the lowest responsive and responsible bid does not exceed such funds by more than ten (10) percent, the Board of Supervisors may authorize, when time or economic considerations preclude re- solicitation of work of a reduced scope, negotiations of an adjustment of the bid price with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in order to bring the bid within the amount of available funds. A summary of the above language was included in the bid documents forwarded to all bidders as required by State code. The architect believes that it will be very possible to negotiate with the lowest bidder to bring the construction cost in line with the project budget, without negatively impacting the design or amenities included therein. This would result in the project remaining on schedule and within the budgeted costs. Alternatives There are three alternatives possible: 1) Authorize staff and project architect to negotiate with the lowest responsible bidder to bring the building construction costs within the amount of funds allocated. The result of a successful negotiation would result in the project being on time and within budget. 2) Reject all bids, redesign and rebid the project. This alternative would delay the project, increase temporary storage costs and temporary library rental costs and not allow the project to stay on schedule. Also there is no way to be absolutely certain a rebid would result in the project coming in under budget. 3) Request that the Board of Supervisors appropriate additional funds resulting in the project going over the original budget. Due to current budgetary and economic conditions and additional source of funds has not been identified. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends Alternative One, authorizing the staff and project architect to negotiate with the lowest responsible bidder to bring the building construction costs within the amount of funds allocated for the project. Fiscal Impact There would be no negative fiscal impact if a successful agreement is negotiated. Page 2 of 3 VOTE: Supervisor Altizer moved to approve the staff recommendation.
