1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: February 20, 2025 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 6-a <br /> SUBJECT: Project Management Options for School Construction <br /> DEPARTMENT: County Manager <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Project Management Structures Pros and Kirk Vaughn, (919) 245-2153 <br /> Cons <br /> Presentation — Orange County - Bond <br /> Program Management <br /> PURPOSE: To continue discussion on how to approach project management for school projects <br /> and to provide direction to staff. <br /> BACKGROUND: Over the past two years, the County has developed a plan to fund the <br /> construction of new and renovated school facilities through the passage of the bond referendum. <br /> During this planning period, the School Capital Needs Workgroup and Board members have <br /> identified the importance of project management in successfully completing these projects. <br /> However, the exact model of project management for the upcoming bond construction period has <br /> yet to be decided by the County and the Districts. <br /> At the January 21, 2025, Business Meeting, the Board began a discussion on Project <br /> Management, but adjourned early due to inclement weather. At the meeting, Board members <br /> requested additional information from experts to help inform the Board. County staff reached out <br /> to Jessica Killian, Director of Program Management at Turner & Townsend Heery. In that role, <br /> Ms. Killian has managed components of project and program management in major capital <br /> programs for Guilford County Schools, as well as Beaufort County Schools in South Carolina, <br /> Douglas County Schools District in Colorado, and Mapleton Public Schools in Colorado. In those <br /> four projects, Ms. Killian has provided management for nearly $2.7 billion dollars in school capital <br /> investment. <br /> Ms. Killian will discuss some of the complexities and considerations around project management <br /> that the County should consider in its decision. Ms. Killian will also differentiate the concept of <br /> "program management", which includes all the oversight and coordination of multiple projects, <br /> from the broader concept of "project management". The County or Districts can utilize firms such <br /> as Turner & Towsend Heery or Woolpert to provide this overarching program management of the <br /> multiple projects to ensure consistency of projects, alignment of Board principles, and realize <br /> some efficiencies. Individual projects would still require project management to ensure the <br /> projects are completed on time and in budget. Ms. Killian previously presented to the Chapel Hill- <br /> Carrboro City School District Finance, Facilities and Operations Board Subcommittee on the pros <br /> and cons of different delivery methods. <br />
