Jones, Director April .30, 2004 <br />RE: Courthouse Expansion Projects page 2 <br />MASTER PLANNING PHASE: <br />1, Information Gathering: One of the first steps in developing a conceptual Master Plan and <br />further detailed development plans is to assemble all relevant information pertinent to <br />making future design decisions. We will work with you and other user groups to gather as <br />much information as possible. The development program, site constraints, significant <br />features, the context of the area, the impact the project may have on the adjoining <br />neighborhoods, and the character of downtown Hillsborough will be studied during the <br />information gathering phase, We will review any existing site plans you have, and we will <br />have a survey completed of the project area. <br />2. Compilation of miscellaneous existing Courthouse floor plans (provided by Owner) into a <br />comprehensive floor plan showing the New Courthouse in its present condition. <br />3. Kick-off meeting with the Interior and Exterior Committees to review the project and to <br />receive input regarding the overall project and its individual components. <br />4, Based on input received at the kick-off meeting, the design team will present Master Plan <br />options to the joint committee at subsequent meetings with various iterations studied and <br />presented, we can produce a final Master Plan for the Court campus.. <br />5. The final Master Plan will be used to communicate to all concerned parties the objectives for <br />developing various portions of the site. This process will allow us to develop a consensus <br />for further presentations as we move into subsequent phases of the design. <br />The design fee for the Master Planning phase of the project will be $30,000. <br />COURTHOUSE EXPANSION PROTECT: <br />An approximately 27,000-square-foot addition to the New Courthouse Building located at the <br />corner of Churton Street and East Margaret Lane to house the Sheriff's Department, office <br />space, additional courtroom space, and "flex" space. <br />The programming and design of a new entrance to serve the new facility and the existing <br />courthouse are important elements in the design work. <br />The budget for this portion of the overall project has been set at $6,000,000, including design <br />fees; the anticipated occupancy date for the project is the first quarter of 2007. The actual <br />construction budget for building and sitework only, as well as the actual project schedule <br />will be determined as soon as possible during the design phase. <br />PROGRAMMING/SPACE PLANNING PHASE FOR <br />THE COURTHOUSE EXPANSION PROTECT: <br />Corley Redfoot Zack, Inc., and Carter Goble will perform these design services in a joint <br />effort. Carter Goble's services include the following: <br /> <br />CORLEY REDFOOT ZACKi~a'. <br />
