ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: February 6, 2007 <br />Action Agendda~ <br />Item No. J <br />SUBJECT: Downtown Hillsborough County Campus Buildings Occupancy Approval <br />DEPARTMENT: Purchasing & Central Services PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Departmental Occupancy List <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Pam Jones, 919-245-2650 <br />PURPOSE: To formally approve the occupancy list of departments for the downtown <br />Hillsborough county campus buildings. <br />BACKGROUND: As part of the January 30, 2007 work session, the County Manager <br />presented a list of recommended departments that will occupy the county campus buildings <br />planned for the downtown Hillsborough county campus as follows: <br />Gateway Building (floors two and three): Register of Deeds, Land Records, Tax Assessor, Tax <br />Collector. <br />Office Building: Planning and Inspections, Economic Development, ERCD, Environmental <br />Health, Information Systems, County Engineer and as space may allow, Housing and <br />Community Development and other functions as future reorganization plans may dictate. <br />Departmental square footage allocations will be addressed during the programming of the <br />facility, but generally are anticipated to be consistent with the desired space as cited by <br />departments. <br />Regulatory approvals have been granted for the Gateway Building and are nearing completion <br />for the Library and Office Building. Programming the space to suit departmental operations is a <br />critical element that must be completed in order for the developer to upfit the space <br />appropriately during the construction process. Approvals granted through this action will allow <br />that work to proceed. <br />The office building and the Library are being constructed through a Construction-Manager-at- <br />Risk agreement with Telesis Construction Company. A lease for the upper two floors of the <br />third building on the campus (Gateway Building) will be presented to the Board for approval on <br />February 20, 2007. Within the next few months, the Board will be asked to approve a license <br />agreement for spaces on the parking deck that will be constructed by Telesis as part of the <br />project. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is-no direct fiscal impact as a result of this action.
