ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> and OCS in an equitable manner.There are only 11 other North Carolina counties out of the 100 <br /> counties in the State with more than one school system located in the same county. This creates <br /> a unique challenge for planning school facilities and allocating county funds. Combined, CHCCS <br /> and OCS have approximately 18,600 Pre-K through Grade 12 students. CHCCS has approximately <br /> 11,500 students in 19 schools, supported by approximately 1,500 school personnel and <br /> approximately 400 non-school personnel working out of 3 administrative facilities. CHCCS <br /> maintains and operates 22 buildings, totaling approximately 2 million square feet and <br /> approximately 544 acres of property. The average age of the CHCCS buildings are more than 50 <br /> years old. OCS has approximately 7,100 students in 13 schools, supported by approximately 890 <br /> school personnel and approximately 170 non-school personnel working out of 6 administrative <br /> facilities.OCS maintains and operates 18 buildings,totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet. <br /> The average age of the OCS buildings are more than 41 years old. The County allocates capital <br /> funding to CHCCS and OCS based on Annual Daily Membership (ADM). An important <br /> benchmarking exercise will be to review how other 11 North Carolina counties with multiple <br /> school districts prioritize and allocate funding, if different from ADM.The County,CHCCS and OCS <br /> has a keen interest in reviewing how other entities address this challenge,and different scenarios <br /> are encouraged by all respondents to this RFQ. <br /> Exhibit C is a listing of the Districts owned facilities, including name, type, site acreage, building <br /> square footage, year constructed and year(s) of renovation(s) and or addition(s). <br /> The project objectives are as follows: <br /> A.

Prioritize building systems based on need, observed deficiencies, remaining useful life, and <br /> classify each system based on a recommended timeframe for system replacements. <br /> D. Estimate the Districts' overall outstanding capital need and a recommended annual <br /> investment plan to address deferred maintenance. <br /> E. Use existing County and Districts long-range plans and respective FCAs to revise the <br /> short and long term capital improvement plans beginning in 2024. <br /> F. Input data on critical building systems, life expectancy, and capital investments into the <br /> Districts enterprise facilities management software <br /> G.
