z • Their familiarity with the Franklin Street environment(they have designed other projects on Franklin Street); • Their familiarity with the Chapel Hill planning and inspections process; • While not a primary consideration, it is certainly to the County's advantage that the office of Dixon/Weinstein is located directly across the street from our project. They are proposing a fee not to exceed $45,075. Energy efficient systems as well as the use of daylighting, used in a budget conscious manner, have long been goals for this facility. The team assembled to design this project is well qualified to meet these goals. Giles Blunden Architects will continue to provide services throughout the project. The County is fortunate that a member of his staff has significant experience in daylighting for school buildings. This project has moved forward at a significant pace during the past several months. If the anticipated timeline is maintained, the project will bid in early Fall, 1997, with completion by January, 1998. RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board authorize the use of the architectural firm of Dixon/Weinstein Architects for design services associated with the Skills Development Center at a fee not to exceed $45,075; and authorize the Manager to sign an agreement, contingent upon Attorney and Staff review.
