Explanation
* The Animal Care and Control Adoption Center will accommodate the growing number of animals coming into the main facility on Byrum Road while also providing a dedicated, accessible location for the public to meet, adopt, and foster animals in need of permanent homes.
* The adoption center will be over 30,000 square feet and will include dog kennels and dedicated space for cats, small pets, and kittens.
* The facility will be located at 5400 South Tryon Street in Council District 3.
* On January 17, 2025, following a competitive selection process, City Council approved a contract with Albion General Contractors, Inc. in the amount of $1,529,572 for Design-Build design services for the Animal Care and Control Adoption Center project. Based on the design, a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for an early site package was developed.
* The early site package includes initial site preparation activities such as erosion control, tree removal, clearing, and grading to prepare the site for construction. Completing this work early expedites overall project delivery.
* A second amendment to be issued at a later date will encompass the remaining construction services.
* The city's design-build delivery method is in conformance with NC General Statute 143-128.1(a) and consistent with the Design-Build Institute of America best practices for progressive design-build.
* The project is anticipated to be complete by second quarter of 2028.
