F.Consider awarding a bid in the amount of $167,648 to WESCO for a main breaker that will be installed at the City's 44kv Delivery station.

This 44kv main breaker is available for purchase from Wesco Distribution using their Sourcewell contract for efficient and competitive procurement. WESCO quoted the breaker at $167,648. Siemens is the manufacturer, and it meets all the required specifications. The expected delivery date for this breaker is September 2027.

Recommendation: Make a motion to purchase one 44kV main breaker from Wesco Distribution using the Sourcewell contract bid for $167,648.

G.Consider adopting a resolution abandoning an existing 0.014 acre water easement and a 0.020 acre sewer easement across TWG GM Performance Power Units, LLC and HSREI, LLC Property, lot 4 and lot 5 (Tax Parcel ID 45982946410000).

There is an existing public water and sewer easement recorded in plat book 105 page 58, and as conveyed in Deed Book 17468 page 231 encompassing public infrastructure that is no longer necessary, and the infrastructure and associated easements will be abandoned. Public infrastructure was designed and constructed with initial phases of the Advanced Manufacturing Campus. Subsequent development is proposed associated with the TWG GM Performance Power Units project, and a portion of the public water and sewer are no longer necessary due to revised service locations for this site.

Recommendation: Motion to adopt a resolution authorizing the abandonment of the easements.

H.Consider authorizing the Parks & Recreation Department to receive a donation of two bike racks and a bicycle work station from the North Carolina Division of Public Health, Community and Clinical Connections for Prevention and Health Branch.

The Community and Clinical Connections for Prevention and Health Branch of the North Carolina Division of Public Health has selected the City of Concord as a recipient of two bike racks and a bicycle workstation to help support equitable biking access in Cabarrus County at an estimated value of $1,140.

Recommendation: Motion to authorize the City Manager to accept the donation of two bike racks and a bicycle workstation from the North Carolina Division of Public Health.

I.Consider authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract amendment with Kimley Horn Associates for additional design services for Phase A of the Clarke Creek Greenway for the total amount of $113,300.

Parks and Recreation staff have been working with Kimley Horn Associates on full design of Phase A of the Clarke Creek Greenway project since May 2023, and the City has been awarded Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funding for the project by the FHWA through the CRMPO. However, acquisition of easements has required substantial additional time and work effort for redesign. The redesign request was for the neighborhood connection change at Highland Creek and Allen Mills based on feedback received from the HOA Board and residents. To complete the redesign and facilitate additional approvals, a contract amendment with Kimley Horn Associates is required for revision and permitting of approved construction documents, environmental documentation and permitting, additional project and property owner meetings and coordination, survey, and appropriate reimbursable expenses.

Recommendation: Motion to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract amendment with Kimley Horn Associates in the amount of $113,300 for design services for Phase A of the Clarke Creek Greenway.

J.Consider accepting the conveyance, based on a recorded exemption plat for Lot 1, of 24.382 acres of the Niblock Homes Red Hill subdivision open space located off Troxler Circle and Lucky Drive.
