16 <br /> 1 As the remediation project proceeds or alternatives are explored, the current Link Building <br /> 2 occupants have been relocated to alternative office spaces based on the recommendations of <br /> 3 occupational health professionals. Funding for this relocation was approved on November 7. <br /> 4 Building occupants are scheduled to move to temporary office spaces on November 21 and 22. <br /> 5 The intermediate budget for relocation included funds to renovate the temporary office spaces <br /> 6 to accommodate a long-term relocation. <br /> 7 <br /> 8 During the meeting, Boomerang Design will be provide a presentation that explains the current <br /> 9 conditions of the Link Building and the work necessary for a comprehensive remediation. The <br /> 10 architect is recommending expanding the scope of the remediation project to remove the <br /> 11 exterior brick and provide continuous sheathing and waterproof the building. Under this <br /> 12 scenario, the aging mechanical and electrical systems would also be replaced to meet current <br /> 13 building codes, efficiency goals and standards, and to ensure building longevity and resilience <br /> 14 in the future. The total estimated cost of pursuing this comprehensive remediation is $8.1 <br /> 15 million. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Following the presentation, the Board can discuss options for next steps and provide direction <br /> 18 to staff. These options include but may not be limited to the following: <br /> 19 1. Authorize staff to proceed with a more comprehensive facility planning effort. The <br /> 20 Northern Campus Project will be completed in the spring of 2021. As a result, the site of <br /> 21 the current Detention Center and the site of the current Environment and Agricultural <br /> 22 Center will be available. As these sites are vacated, the County will need to plan for their <br /> 23 future and could use this opportunity to evaluate future facility needs in that context <br /> 24 including the disposition of the Link Government Services Center. <br /> 25 2. Amend the FY2019-20 Capital Budget and proceed with the remediation project; <br /> 26 3. Include funding in the FY2020-21 Capital Budget to proceed with the remediation project <br /> 27 in July 2020 in order to evaluate it against other capital requests. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Travis Myren made the following PowerPoint presentation: <br /> 30 <br /> Agenda Item B.a. i <br /> �1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORFI i CAROLINA <br /> Link Government Services Center <br /> Remediation Project Options <br /> Board of Orange County Commissioners <br /> November 19,2019 <br /> 31 <br /> 32 <br />
