Reports a. Passmore Center Expansion Update The Board received a report outlining the design and project schedule for the Passmore Center Expansion Capital Project. Angel Barnes, Asset Management Services, reviewed the following information: BACKGROUND: The Board of Orange County Commissioners (BOCC) appropriated capital funding of $550,000 in the FY2016-17 Capital Investment Plan (CIP) for a needed expansion of programming space for the Passmore Center in Hillsborough. The contemplated expansion area was to enclose the patio area at the back of the facility near the Florence Gray Soltys Adult Day Health Center. During the initial design dialogues between staff and the design consultant, CRA Associates, all agreed that a more useful programming space is at the front entrance of the facility. This renovated entry will provide a more accessible front desk area. The expansion also provides a more flexible and comfortable expanded space where residents and patrons tend to gather in the facility. A representative of CRA Associates will be available to review the design. The attached Passmore Center Site and Floor Plan Illustrative provides plans and elevations of the expanded space. CRA Associates will provide the BOCC an overview of these plans and illustrative. The proposed project schedule is as follows: • Construction Bidding Phase, Agency Permitting: September to October, 2017 • Construction Contract Award: November, 2017 • Construction: November, 2017 to March, 2018 • Substantial Completion: April, 2018 Ken Redfoot, CRA Associates, made a brief PowerPoint presentation, which consisted of photographs, site plans, and architectural renderings. He said the project will create a new vestibule, a 1,200 square foot flexible area, and a reworking of the information desk. Commissioner McKee said he has received calls about the proposed rendering not having a covered portico, and he appreciated this idea being mentioned this evening. He knows it will garner a lot of support.
