2 More in depth background and history related to the Northern Human Services Center Community Center can be found within the June 18, 2013 Agenda Abstract as Item 7 -e, located at http:// orangecountync .gov /occierks /130618.pdf. Through the summer and early fall, staff from Asset Management Services, the Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation, and the County Manager's Office worked with the consultant and the Resident Advisory Work Group in a diligent, thoughtful and productive manner to achieve consensus on a schematic design for the Board's review, comment, and potential authorization to move forward with construction document preparation and construction bidding in the spring of 2014. Attachment B includes the meeting minutes of these work group meetings. John Thomas of MBAJ Architects will present the schematic design consensus to the Board for feedback and guidance, as well as the cost benefit analysis of the classroom wing mothball option. General schematic site and space plans are described in Attachment C, "Schematic Design Presentation, MBAJ Architects ". The project cost estimate prepared by MBAJ Architects is described in Attachment D, "Project Cost Estimate ". Attachment E, entitled "Classroom Wing Mothball Option Cost Estimate ", illustrates the design and construction costs for the mothball option. As a reminder, should the mothball option be selected by the Board, deconstruction costs in the amount of $250,000 budgeted within the Capital Investment Plan would potentially inure to the benefit of the project and the potential execution of the mothball option. This point is highlighted in the mothball option cost estimate. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Board approved the FY2012 -17 Capital Investment Plan ( "CIP ") that included $250,000 in FY 2012 -13 for deconstruction of sections of the facility in preparation for the future use on the site. The Board also approved $2.0 million in FY2014 -15 for the design and construction of the new facility that, when combined with the $250,000 authorized in FY 2012 -13, brings the total project capital budget to $2,250,000. The Board - authorized MBAJ Architects' current engagement will not exceed $173,500 and includes the incremental cost of $6,500 for the mothball option cost - benefit analysis the Board approved during the regular meeting on June 18, 2013. Should the Board consider the mothball option design cost of $28,800, the amended amount would increase to a not -to- exceed amount of $202,300. The current CIP project could cover this cost. The estimated project cost for the Cedar Grove Community Center does not exceed $2,000,000 as described in detail within Attachment C, "Project Cost Estimate ". The estimated additional cost for the mothball option design and construction approaches $608,800, and is described in Attachment D, "Classroom Wing "Mothball" Option Cost Estimate ". Crediting the approved $250,000 budgeted for deconstruction of the wings reduces the $608,800 mothball option estimate to $358,800. Since the Board may be presented with the mothball option alternate as part of the bid award consideration during the spring of 2014, a potential decision on moving forward with this option could be made during the normal annual Capital Investment Planning process and schedule. Should the Board choose not to invest in the mothball option construction alternate, the design remains valuable and can be constructed at some point in the future. The estimated cost, should the construction not occur as part of the main community center project, will be
