ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: June 29, 2000 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. <br />SUBJECT: Authorization To Contract For Professional Services Construction Document <br />Preparation for Health Department Clinic Renovation <br />DEPARTMENT: Purchasing ~ Central Services <br />and Health Department <br />PUBLIC HEARING: (YIN) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Corley Redfoot Zack Proposal <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Pam Jones 245-2fi52 <br />Dr. Rosemary Summers, 245-2400 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 9fi8~501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider authorizing the Manager to contract with Corley Redfoot Zack to <br />finalize preliminary drawings for Health Department Clinic Renovations, prepare documents <br />suitable for bidding and provide construction administration. <br />BACKGROUND: The Orange County Health Department has the opportunity to draw down <br />additional Medicaid Maximization funds to fund renovation of the health clinic in the Whitted <br />Building. he current layout of the clinic area does not allow for an efficient operation, nor does it <br />support good patient flow through the various service delivery areas within the clinic. Through <br />the efforts of Dr. Rosemary Summers, Health Director, staff was able to obtain architectural <br />services from the North Carolina Division of Public Health--local Health Services Division to <br />complete the preliminary design of the clinic. The State, however, is unable to provide <br />architectural services to complete the construction documents or to provide any level of <br />supervision during construction. For that purpose, staff is requesting that the Board authorize <br />the Manager to contract with Corley Redfoot Zack (CRZ) to complete this work. Staff feels that <br />CRTs experience in the design of the Clinic space at the Southern Human Services Center <br />provides a strong basis of understanding of the Orange County Health Clinic operations and will <br />allow staff to move the project along expeditiously. The Clinic space at SHSC has proven to be <br />very functional and well thought out space and staff anticipates a replication of that in the <br />design of the Hillsborough space as well. <br />CRZ has submitted a cost proposal to accomplish the work as follows: <br />• $1,865: Finalize design <br />• $17,158: Prepare construction documents, bidding and construction administration <br />• Total of $19,023 <br />
