On the Courthouse Square, existing utilities including power, fiber, gas, water, and sewer will be relocated/rerouted. Grading/rock removal and portion of a concrete retaining wall will be installed to create a location for a new parking lot and a relocated historic law office/hotel building (the "LOH"). 3. Prior to relocation of the historic building, the proposed foundation will need to be dug in accordance with requirements of the building relocation subcontractor prequalified by the County. In addition, a temporary road must be constructed in accordance with requirements of the building relocation subcontractor. 4. The two story LOH will be prepared and relocated on the existing Courthouse Square. Botetourt County has already prequalified a building relocation contractor who will be utilized within the selected general contractor's team. Once the building is relocated, a new masonry foundation will be installed. 5. In addition to relocating the LOH, a historic monument and related artifacts will also be relocated by the same prequalified building relocation subcontractor. 6. Limited area sitework, landscaping (including hardscaping), fencing, parking lighting, and other site preparation for construction is part of this work. 7.
