ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: November 15, 2005 Action Agenda Item No. ~~ SUBJECT: Durham Technical Community College: Sustainable Design Features in New Building DEPARTMENT: Purchasing and Central Services PUBLIC HEARING: (YIN) No ATTACHMENT(S): List of Possible Sustainable Features from CRZ Schedule of Design Fees Associated with Sustainable Features INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam .!ones, (919) 245-2652 PURPOSE: To discuss and provide direction to the Durham Technical Community College (DTCC) officials and project designer regarding desired sustainable design features for possible inclusion in the new campus building, BACKGROUND: Bands passed by Orange County voters in 2001 included $4 million that serves as the County's match on the construction of the DTCC satellite campus in Orange County, The State also will provide $4 million. State law mandates that counties provide operation and maintenance casts far community colleges, therefore Orange County will be interested in the long-term sustainability and on-going maintenance costs of the campus building, To that end, Corley Redfoot Zack (CRZ) has provided a list of potential sustainable design features that are not now, but could be included in the project, The current design includes the operable windows as an add alternate, however the remaining features are neither designed nor included in the project budget. An explanation of each feature is included on the attached Memorandum from Ken Redfoot to Dick McKown, DTCC project manager. The Board may wish to select some or all of these features that may also be included as "add alternates" in the mid-2006 bids, Life-cycle cost information would also be prepared for each of the selected features so the Board could determine the cost-benefit prior to making a decision whether to add the feature and any associated additional cost to the project,
