This campus location contemplates housing the Orange <br />County Detention Center, Environment and Agriculture Center (“EAC”), and the Park Operations <br />Base. The Board previously authorized the Manager to engage Moseley Architects for the <br />design and construction administration of the Detention Center during the summer of 2015. The <br />Board also authorized the engagement of HH Architecture of Raleigh, NC for the design and <br />construction of the EAC in April, 2016. <br /> <br />During the Board’s discussions of the Manager’s recommended Capital Investment Plan (“CIP”) <br />in the spring of 2018, the Board affirmed the general site arrangement of the facilities, the <br />detention center capacity, and the inclusion of the Park Operations base within the FY2018-23 <br />CIP. The EAC project funding was appropriated in previous years as was the design <br />component of the Detention Center. Construction appropriation for the Detention Center is <br />contemplated within years 1 and 2 of the FY 2018-23 Capital Investment Plan. <br /> <br />Because of the inherent organizational and operational synergies between the EAC and Park <br />Operations, HH Architecture is recommended to include the integrated Park Operations Base <br />1
