PURPOSE:
1. To outline the planning, design, construction process for the Southern Orange Senior
Center, including timeline; and
2. To recommend planning committee structure.
BACKGROUND:
Planning and Design Process
As background to the process, the Department on Aging is preparing a compilation of findings
from the series of public forums and community surveys held over the past several months to
gather input and ideas from seniors and the general public. Once this needs assessment has
been completed and the Board has approved the general scope of the project, a selection
process will commence for the design team who will complete the building, Recommendations
far interest groups to represent the senior community on the design committee are listed later in
this abstract.
As has been fhe case previously with design of buildings, the County would pursue amulti-step
process during which the architect/engineers translate the needs assessment scope of work
into design development drawings, a schematic design and finally the working drawings upon
which constn~ction will be based. County Commissioners and the design committee for the
Center would be updated and comments solicited at each of these milestones, A full
presentation is also suggested for all interested seniors at the conclusion of the schematic
design phase.
As reflected in the attached timeline, the architect selection process is targeted to begin after
the first of the year and will fallow the progression laid out in the timeline,
The Board will also note that a construction management proposal for this project will be
brought forward in tandem with the architect selection recommendation,
A design process for the Central Orange Senior Center will be presented for consideration in
the spring 2004, contingent upon availability of a site,

County Staff to the Senior Center Design Committee:
John Link, County Manager
Gwen Harvey, Assistant County Manager
Jerry Passmore, Director, Department on Aging
Janice Tyler, Senior Centers Administrator
Paul Thames, County Engineer
Pam Jones, Purchasing and Central Services Director
Additional information regarding the needs assessment process and results, as well as
discussion about the specific location of the Senior Center on the Southern Human Services
Center site, will be brought forward to the Board in January 2004, At present, the designated
footprint for the Senior Center is in southwest quadrant of the Homestead Road property. The
Board awaits response from the University regarding its request for approximately 3 acres within
the abutting Carolina North campus to provide enhanced parking potential, See map attached.
FINANCIAt_ IMPACT: No financial impact is associated with the appointment of this group, As
a reminder, the 2001 Bond included a total of $4 million far one senior center in both Central
and Southern Orange County, with the remaining estimated $2..15 million being financed
through alternative financing means closer to the time of construction.
REGOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board:
1. Endorse the planning and design development process; and
2. Endorse the recommended planning committee structure and schedule appointments to
be made at the first Board meeting in 2004, (January 26)
