ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: March 13, 2007 Action Agenda Item No. ~~_ SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Amendment: Design Services Central Orange Senior Center DEPARTMENT: Purchasing PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENT(S): CRZ Proposal Pam Jones, (919) 245-2652 INFORMATION CONTACT: PURPOSE: To consider approving an amendment to the contract for design services associated with the Central Orange Senior Center. BACKGROUND: The Board originally approved a contract with Corley Redfoot Zack (CRZ) to provide schematic design for work at the Sportsplex that would become the Central Orange Senior Center. The fee proposal for this work provided Basic Services fora 15,000 square foot senior center, which consisted of a 10,000 square foot addition and 5,000 square feet of renovated space. The project was expanded to include an Adult Day Health Center, which reduced the Sportsplex area by another 4,100 square feet. Sportsplex operations have flourished under the management of Recreational Factory Partners (RFP), who the County retained when it purchased the property in December 2005. In order to maintain sufficient operational space for the Sportsplex, County Commissioners authorized the addition of a mezzanine area over the ice rink and other more minor renovations within the common areas of the Sportsplex. This replaces the space assumed by the Senior Center and added some minimal growth space for Sportsplex operations. All components of the project now equal approximately 35,000 square feet. CRZ proposes a total of $407,200 for Basic Services architectural and engineering fees through construction administration. This equates to approximately 8.3% of the estimated $4.9 million budget set aside for construction of the project. Additional services, which include regulatory approval and interior design services, are estimated at $21,540. The original contract amount for schematic design ($28,940) is offered as a credit, thereby setting the total contract approved by this action at $400,160.
