Orange County <br />Current Building Construction Projects <br />Project Highlights as of August gi, 2006 <br />Justice Facility Expansion <br />Anticipated construction commencement: Spring 2007 <br />Status: <br />• Interior programming is being finalized for the Justice Facilities <br />Expansion, which includes the Sheriffs office, the Clerk of Courts, District <br />Court offices, District Attorney and Courtrooms. <br />• The plan is currently under review by the Hillsborough Historic District <br />Commission. The Commission reviewed the project in June and in August <br />and offered comments, to which the architects have provided response. The <br />Commission has held special meetings for the sole purpose of reviewing this <br />significant project. A September meeting may be scheduled, assuming the <br />architectural work required by the HDC comments can be accomplished in <br />a timely manner. <br />• The HDC will also review the River Park and Public Market portion of the <br />project at the next meeting. <br />• Tentatively receipt of bids is anticipated early in 2007. <br />• The project has an 18 -24 month construction period, including renovation <br />work that must be accomplished in the existing building. <br />Seymour Senior Center <br />Anticipated completion date: January 25, 2007 <br />Status: <br />• A request by the contractor for an extension of time for weather is being <br />evaluated. Approximately ten inches of rain fell at the construction site <br />during the month of June. Although the contractor pumped water away <br />from the site to minimize the disruption, critical construction time was lost. <br />As a result, the placement of the slab and retaining wall backfill was delayed <br />by about four weeks. Resolute Building Company (RBC) is working to make <br />up the lost time. Steel erection was begun in mid - August. <br />• Teledata design and programming has been completed and will be bid <br />soon. This item is an owner responsibility and is not included in the <br />contract with RBC. <br />
