BACKGROUND
Background
On January 16, 2020, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners approved an inter-local agreement and initial project ordinance with the City of Greensboro for joint occupancy of Greensboro Fire Station #7 at 1064 Gatewood Ave, Greensboro, NC 27405 to replace the existing EMS Base 1 located at 1339 Headquarters Dr, Greensboro, NC 27405.
Under this agreement, Guilford County Emergency Services will receive an exclusive license to use a portion of the Greensboro Fire Station #7. The inter-local agreement called for Guilford County to pay for a portion of the facility's construction costs and a share of the annual operating expenses (both based on the square footage occupied by the county, approximately 22%). The county's estimated share of construction costs was just over $1,775,000. Final construction costs have been provided by the City of Greensboro and the county's actual cost is $1,815,347. The majority of the cost overruns were related to unsuitable soil and containment on the site, which was fully mitigated. A final inter-local agreement between the City of Greensboro and Guilford County has been previously approved. In addition, a capital project ordinance needs to be approved to pay the county's share of the facility construction costs. A portion of the fund balance available in the County Building Construction Fund is earmarked to pay this expense.
