BACKGROUND: In October 2012, the North Carolina Council of State ("COS") approved a Land Lease with Orange County for the purpose of a permanent Orange County jail facility. Attachment 1, entitled "Council of State Approval", outlines the terms of the COS approval. Attachment 2, "Aerial Locator' illustrates the location adjacent to the Orange Correctional Center managed by the State. This arrangement provides adequate space for a facility that may accommodate up to 250 inmates and allows the existing jail facility to be re-purposed for other uses. The North Carolina Department of Administration's Property Office has worked closely with County staff, the North Carolina Department of Corrections, and the North Carolina Attorney General's office to craft an acceptable Lease Agreement (Attachment 3, "Lease Agreement"). The consideration for the 50 year term of the Land Lease is $1.00 per year. The County will provide for all development, design, construction and operations for the facility throughout the term. At the end of the 50 year term, the County may choose to approach the Council of State for a renewal of the Lease that is in the County's best interest. The Lease contemplates the completion and operation of the facility in no more than 72 months from the Effective Date of the Lease. The timeline for the development, construction, and operation of the facility is as follows: 2 TASK PROPOSED END BY BEGINNING DATE DATE Board of County Commission Action: 6/18/13 6/18/13 Approval of Lease Agreement between Orange County and the State of North Carolina during regular meeting agenda Architect Selection via Request For Qualifications process 6/19/13 9/5/13 per State Purchasing Statute Board of County Commission Action: Architect 9/5/13 9/5/13 Selection and Contract Award during regular meeting agenda Project programming, schematic design (est. 12 month 9/6/13 9/2014 duration Board of County Commission Action: Approval of 9/2014 9/2014 Schematic Design, authorization to develop construction documents, submit for regulatory review and bid project Project construction document preparation (est. 6 month 9/2014 3/2015 duration) Regulatory review, permitting process, bid process (est.15 3/2015 9/2016 month duration) Board of County Commission Action: Approval bid 9/2016 9/2016 award to construct project Project Construction and Commissioning (est. 36 month 9/2016 9/2019 duration) The County Attorney advises the Board that the lease contains numerous unfavorable provisions the attorney would normally not recommend for Board approval including provisions found in paragraphs 5, 6, 8, 14.4, 18.8, 22, and in particular 24.15. However, in this situation, the Attorney General's office will not negotiate many of these provisions and the Manager recommends approval as set out below. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Manager recommended Capital Investment Plan contemplated a budget of $30 million for this project. FY2013-14 expenditures of $250,000 will accommodate portions of the initial site programming and schematic design work, assuming that the Lease is executed in July of 2013 and a designer is a selected by the Board in early fall 2013. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: 1) Enter into a fifty year Land lease Agreement with the State of North Carolina for an estimated 8.53 acre parcel located near the existing Orange Corrections Facility at a rate of $1 per year for the purpose of the development and construction of a County Jail facility; and 2) Authorize the Chair, upon final approval of the County Attorney, to sign the Land Lease Agreement on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners.
