within its design services agreement. Park operations administrative office spaces are contemplated to be housed within the EAC facility, with the maintenance, storage and yard facilities to be located adjacent to the EAC structure. Parking, access, and other site considerations would also be integrated within a unified design. Programming and schematic design for the Campus facilities is underway. The facility design processes will continue through the summer, fall and winter of 2018 with construction documentation being completed in early 2019. A construction manager at risk (“CMAR”) delivery method is recommended for this overall Northern Campus project. Construction is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2019 and should be substantially complete no later than fall of 2021. The EAC/Park Operations components will have shorter construction duration than the detention center and may be occupied prior to the detention center. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Moseley Architects amendment will contemplate the overall Northern Campus site design as well as the final capacity guidelines determined by the Board. The HH Architecture amendment will contemplate the adjustment of the Park Operations Base inclusion into the existing EAC scope. Both amended agreements are contemplated to be commensurate with an estimated “not to exceed” 7.5% - 9% ratio of total construction costs within the overall combined capital project budget. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are applicable for this item: • GOAL: FOSTER A COMMUNITY CULTURE THAT REJECTS OPPRESSION AND INEQUITY The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or color; religious or philosophical beliefs; sex, gender or sexual orientation; national origin or ethnic background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential or economic status. • GOAL: ENSURE ECONIOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their dependents. • GOAL: ENABLE FULL CIVIC PARTICIPATION Ensure that Orange County residents are able to engage government through voting and volunteering by eliminating disparities in participation and barriers to participation.
