The Project involves the furnishing of all materials, labor, equipment, tools, etc. unless otherwise specified, for the complete installation of a new perimeter security fence for a material storage lot for the city of Durham. Along with the perimeter fence, there will be the installation of a concrete pad to replace existing open grass and the construction of an additional driveway east of the existing driveway. The new driveway will have an automatic gate. The concrete pad will serve as a driving and parking surface for the city, and storage areas will be created using masonry bin blocks to create walls for separate materials. As a result of the proposed work, a stormwater structure will be installed for drainage on the site. The stormwater structure will tie into an existing stormwater structure located on Pettigrew Street. There is no utility work proposed on site besides coordinating with Duke Energy to get a lighting plan. With the changes to the site, landscape improvements are being proposed and the plan calls for the installation of some canopy trees, understory trees, and shrubs.
