PURPOSE: To:
1) receive a historical perspective on activities related to the development of the Greene
Tract;
2) discuss and approve a new design services proposal to create a development Master Plan
for the Greene Tract; and
3) approve Budget Amendment #5-A to provide for the total cost of the project.
BACKGROUND: The Greene Tract is located east of the Rogers Road community within the
Town of Chapel Hill's extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Of the 164-acre parcel, 104 acres is jointly
owned by Orange County/Chapel Hill/Carrboro and 60 acres is owned by Orange County
(Headwaters Preserve). Over the last 20+ years, the three jurisdictions have invested significant
resources to identify and support the goals for the Greene Tract as a resource for the Rogers
Road community and the residents of the two towns and Orange County, all of which can be found
on the County's dedicated Greene Tract project page and dynamic StoryMap, but featuring the
following-
- In 2006, the Town of Chapel Hill initiated and led a Rogers Road Small Area Plan Task
Force with the Greene Tract partners, resulting in a final report in March 2009;
- In 2012, the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood Task Force led its own small area
planning efforts, resulting in a final report in September 2013;
- In July 2015, the Jackson Center co-led the Mapping Our Community's Future Report with
the Historic Rogers Road Community, which was completed in May 2016;
2
In June 2016, Orange County purchased 60 acres for preservation from the Solid Waste
Enterprise Fund ("Headwaters Preserve");
- At the 2016 Assembly of Governments (AOG) Meeting, a suggestion was raised to ask the
elected officials of the three jurisdictions to participate in discussions on the Greene Tract;
- In 2017, staff examined a potential reconfiguration of the jointly-owned tract and the
County-owned tract for the purposes of environmental preservation, potential affordable
housing development, and a possible school site;
Between 2018 and 2019, the three jurisdictions considered multiple iterations of a joint
resolution for the development of the Greene Tract and accompanying Conceptual Plan;
Between 2019 and 2020, the three jurisdictions discussed and approved the Greene Tract
Resolution for a Path Forward and Interlocal Agreement, identifying land use acreages for
the Greene Tract, initiating staff to seek professional services to conduct an environmental
assessment, and initiating the drafting of an Interlocal Agreement between the three
jurisdictions to provide a decision-making process for the three jurisdictions moving
forward;
- In April 2020, Orange County contracted with SynTerra to complete the Greene Tract
Environmental Assessment, to be delivered in July 2020;
In 2021, the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between Orange County and the Towns of
Carrboro and Chapel Hill Regarding the Current and Future Use of the Jointly Owned
Greene Tract was executed by all three parties. Among other commitments, it directed staff
from all three jurisdictions to work in good faith to "develop a work plan that includes, among
other things, a decision point timeline regarding development" of the Greene Tract;
- In November 2021, the three local governments adopted a resolution approving a
conceptual plan, which identified land uses and acreages to be used as schematic for
future planning purposes, including the development of a Master Plan. The 45 acres with
frontage on Purefoy Drive and Lizzie Lane were identified for "Development" and the 16
acres with frontage on Merin Road were identified as"Public School and Recreational Site";
and
At its November 14, 2023 meeting, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners
approved a contract for Gensler and VHB to provide community engagement services to
support and realize the Greene Tract Master Plan, with the understanding that a second
firm would partner with these consultants and the Greene Tract owners to provide the civil
design services for this project.
In January 2023, a staff work group operating at the direction of the ILA identified the need to
separate the master planning needs for the Greene Tract into professional design services and
community engagement services, allowing trained professionals to focus on the respective
deliverables and allowing the planning staffs to coordinate their efforts. This would allow the
community engagement efforts to focus on a shared vision and mission for the design
professionals to utilize in the delivery of a master plan that recommends development footprints,
designs, and intensities for this acreage, as directed by the 2021 Greene Tract ILA.

Request For Qualifications (RFQ) Process of Evaluation
In July 2023, Orange County issued a RFQ to identify a qualified consultant to provide Design
Services for the Greene Tract Master Plan on behalf of Orange County and the two Towns.
Six Statements of Qualifications were received and evaluated by the proposal review committee
composed of Orange County, Town of Chapel Hill, and Town of Carrboro Planning staff. The
committee evaluation was based on the following criteria:
1. Past performance of the lead consulting firm on similar planning projects of similar size and
scope
2. Adequate and experienced staff and proposed team for the project
3. Current workload and firm capacity
4. Strategy for providing required services
5. Understanding of the area where the project is located and scope of services.
Based on the evaluation process, the review committee requested proposals from and interviewed
two of the firms, and unanimously recommends Thomas & Hutton Engineering Co. (T&H), for
contract award. T&H is a respected and established multidisciplinary firm in the southeast, with
15 locations in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina, including the office in
Research Triangle Park that houses the primary staff for this project. T&H merged with Coulter
Jewell Thomas in 2022, bringing all principal staff featured in the proposal to T&H. The principal
management staff for this project has done work in Orange County, the Town of Chapel Hill, and
the Town of Carrboro, including the 2009 Rogers Road Small Area Plan for the Town of Chapel
Hill, designing the Homestead Road Residential Community, and leading the engineering and
design for the Morgan Creek Greenway Master Plan and Implementation Plans.
Summary of Project Scope and Approach
Orange County Planning staff negotiated the scope of services and budget with T&H, as reflected
in the Letter Agreement of Services (Attachment 1). The T&H proposal is intended to assist
Orange County, the Town of Carrboro, and the Town of Chapel Hill with civil design services to
create a Greene Tract Master Plan. The intention of both the Greene Tract owners and T&H is to
deliver a conceptual plan that can be utilized to define and directly inform a site plan for entitlement
with the Town of Chapel Hill to develop the Greene Tract consistent with the terms established
by the 2021 Interlocal Agreement including commitments to Public Engagement, Affordable and
Mixed Income Housing and other uses, a School Site with Public Recreation, Connectivity, and a
Development Agreement; and the 2021 Resolution that affirmed land use needs and goals to
promote mixed-income housing opportunities; preserve environmental features; protect historical
and cultural resources; promote cost-effective infrastructure; incorporate school and recreation
sites; and earmark development areas for mixed income housing and mixed use potential.
The design services project features four primary services:
1) Project Coordination and Management, including all data collection and collaboration with
the Community Engagement consultant, Gensler;
2) Master Planning — Housing, Recreation and Community support/service center, including
the preparation of an executive summary and two (2) "Conceptual Master Plans" for
presentation and feedback, that shall feature:
a. Residential uses (focus on affordable housing and mixed income housing);
4
b. Non-residential uses (focus on low intensity commercial and services uses);
c. Community support uses;
d. Open space and recreation;
e. Landscaping and buffering; and
f. Utilities;
3) Master Planning — School and Recreation Site, including an executive summary and an
elementary/flex school site feasibility and suitability assessment for use by the Chapel Hill-
Carrboro City Schools; and
4) Connectivity Framework, including an assessment of Prepare a transportation connectivity
exhibit, a professional opinion of probable construction costs, and an estimation of likely
impacts to the existing transportation network.
Both Gensler/VHB and T&H are obligated to work cooperatively on this project, and, while
contracted to Orange County, understand that the commitment is to provide a Greene Tract
Master Plan that is agreeable to the Town of Carrboro and the Town of Chapel Hill as well.
Project Presentation: The consultant will be required to provide biweekly updates to Orange
County, participation at up to four meetings/workshops, and presentation at a joint meeting of the
three owners and governing bodies, as well as other meetings Orange County directs it to attend.
Other community stakeholders represented in both the 2021 Greene Tract ILA and on the
Steering Committee may be invited to participate and comment at such meetings, at the discretion
of the property owners.
T&H requested modifications to the standard allocation of risks within the contract. Planning &
Inspections Director Cy Stober negotiated terms deemed acceptable, but the contract now utilizes
the American Institute of Architects' professional standards for both ensuring expediency of
services rendered and standards of care, specifies what products may be used by the County
beyond the project's scope, and alters Orange County's indemnification protections. The County
Attorney's Office has reviewed and authorized for the contract to move forward for Board
consideration as proposed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Orange County allocated $367,000 for Greene Tract costs in the FY 2023-
24 Budget. The consulting cost proposal to complete the Greene Tract Master Plan Design
Services as presented in the scope of work is $155,000. The Greene Tract Community Services
contract with Gensler is $244,800. This creates a total project cost of $399,800.
Based on the 2021 Green Tract Interlocal Agreement, the Towns shall reimburse funds to the
County based on the adopted cost share agreement of 43% - Orange County, 43% - Chapel Hill,
and 14% - Carrboro. Per the approved cost-share agreement for Greene Tract expenses, the
resulting total financial impact to Orange County will be $14,104 funded by County Capital
Reserves after it is reimbursed for costs by the municipal partners.
Budget Amendment #5-A increases the General Fund authorization by $32,800 and County
Capital Reserve by $14,104.

Dear Ms. Jovanna and Ms.Ashley,
Coulter Jewell Thames joined Thomas & Hutton Engineering Co. in 2022. We may have a new name, but we assure you
we're still the same people offering the same small-firm feel. The only difference is we now have the manpower with more
than 450 employees in ten regions across the Southeast. With more resources, relationships, and a "deep bench"of
experience to call upon, we're confident in providing professional services to develop a Master Plan for the Greene Tract.
We know this project will guide future development and connectivity for Orange County, the Town of Carrboro and the Town
of Chapel Hill.
Dan Jewell, PLA, Principal-in-Charge, is familiar with every phase of the Chapel Hill's (and Carrboro's) long-range plan
development process and implementation policies. Long-time staff members, Wendi Ramsden, PLA, and Jeremy Anderson,
PLA, both have over 30 years of experience in working with and for the Town of Chapel Hill. They will lead day-to-day
planning, design, public input, and permitting duties for the project, assisted by our in-house engineering and support team.
Wendi and Dan developed the Town's Morgan Creek Master Plan for the portion from Merritt's Pasture to Smith Level Road,
along Fan Branch to Southern Village, and the Master Plan for Morgan Creek from Smith Level Road to University Lake.
Both projects involved a robust level of community engagement, particularly with neighbors originally circumspect about the
Greenway going near their homes. Eventually, these neighbors became some of the project's most prominent supporters
after being part of the design and decision-making. We also routinely work on projects under NCDOT guidelines and
standard specifications and in and adjacent to NCDOT road rights-of-way(including NC 54 and US 15-501).
The Thomas & Hutton team offers the following key advantages:
We are local with institutional knowledge of the project. We understand the approval process for projects in Orange
County, the Town of Chapel Hill, the Town of Carrboro, and those using NCDOT funds and needing to meet NCDOT
requirements. Our team worked on the constructed portions of the Morgan Creek Trail and the Master Plan west to
University Lake.
We are familiar with the area. We honor the Town's commitment to having robust public discussions as part of any civic
design project. Our 38 years of design and entitlement experience in the County and Town's has exposed us to many
different voices in the community, especially in nearby neighborhoods.
We can get the job done through our master planning experience. Our team successfully designed and implemented
multiple trail projects throughout central North Carolina over the past three decades, including Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Orange
County, and Durham. These greenways run the gamut from rail-trail conversions to side paths along highways, trails along
creeks and other environmentally sensitive areas, and natural surface footpaths.
We are committed to exceeding your expectations of quality and service. Thank you for your careful consideration. Should
you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Dan Jewell at 919-682-0368 or via email at
jewell.dC@tandh.com.
Very truly yours,
THOMAS & HUTTON

FIRM'S MASTER PLAN EXPERIENCE
AMERICAN LEGION PARK MASTER PLAN
CHAPEL HILL,NORTH CAROLINA
Thomas & Hutton (as CJT)was asked by the Town of Chapel Hill ���
to lead a series of community engagement events Including an -
all-day design charrette) to gauge community interest and then
Master Plan for acquisition of the American Legion Property for
redevelopment as a new Town Park. ! j
At the completion of Master Planning, the Town then asked �
Thomas & Hutton/CJT to facilitate a six-month long Towne
Council and Stakeholder Steering Committee discussion on park �
planning and whether there was value in the Town acquiring ��,
the property. This also included a follow-up report with cost '
estimates and entitlement steps. Ultimately, the Town decided to
purchase the property.
*This work was done by Coulter Jewell Thames(CJT)prior to joining Thomas&Hutton
SCOTT KING ROAD MASTER PLAN
DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA
Current Thomas & Hutton employees, while employed with
e another firm, provided a site study to aid Durham Public Schools
in determining whether or not an available land parcel was a
suitable site for a new middle school. The result of the study
was that the parcel was not ideal for school development. The
property was not purchased by the school system and the school
�- was not built.

EUBANK VILLAGE MIXED USE DISTRICT COMMUNITY
WORKSHOPS
TOWN OF CARRBOBO,NORTH CAROLINA
The Town of Carrboro had determined that it was desirable to
create a "Village Mixed Use District" in the Northern part of the
— community.After several attempts to interest developers and
property Owners to ask for approval of such a District, the Town
decided to be proactive and plan for such a district on a willing
property owner's land. Largely as a result of the success of the
Rogers Road Workshops, the Town again engaged Dan Jewell
- and the Durham Area Designers Community Assistance Team
to lead a series of neighborhood workshops, a design charette
and several follow up meetings with the local neighbors and
members of the Board of Aldermen to come up with a prototype
plan. The effort led to the adoption of a new neighborhood

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING &APPROACH AND SCHEDULE
UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
The THOMAS & HUTTON TEAM understands the purpose of this project is to procure professional services to develop a
Master Plan for the Greene Tract. The Master Plan shall build upon the Greene Tract goals and conceptual plan contained
in the 2021 Resolution adopted by the Town of Carrboro, Town of Chapel Hill, and Orange County, completed site
analysis work, and existing plans completed on the Greene Tract and immediate area, including the Historic Rogers Road
Neighborhood.
PROPOSED METHODOLOGY AND APPROACH
Thomas & Hutton will be the primary contracting entity with project tasks served out of our Durham
office. To provide the level of service our clients have come to expect, it is important to serve clients from
our office with the closest proximity.As each new task order is issued, our Project Manager will work
with the County to properly staff the project team. We will work with the County to develop a scope and +t+
fee for the project that is acceptable to all parties. Once a detailed scope is determined, we will hold
a project kickoff meeting with County personnel to fully discuss the project, possible challenges, and
potential stakeholders. Some projects require more technical staff, while others may require more design staff or increased
involvement from other team members.
The Project Manager will identify these team members, conduct an internal kick-off meeting with the team
t l to clearly communicate roles and responsibilities, and then communicate to the County so that the client
(0)—. knows who is working on their project.At the beginning of each project, the Project Manager will also
develop a project schedule with the County. Milestones will be discussed, determined, and agreed upon.A
project schedule will be published at the commencement of work. The Project Manager will communicate
the schedule both internally and with the County to keep the team updated on project progress.

SIMILAR PROJECTS
Thomas & Hutton's Durham office (formerly Coulter Jewell Thames) experience extends back to 1985. This timeline follows
the 38-year tenure of Principal/Regional Director, Dan Jewell, PLA, serving as project manager or principal on hundreds
of projects through the Town's entitlement process, all of which required some measure of facilitating public forums. These
projects often called for as many as a half dozen neighborhood meetings each. For over 20 years, team members Wendi
Ramsden, PLA, and Jeremy Anderson, PLA, worked for the Town alongside Dan.
In addition to the Special Use Permits (SUP) and Conditional Zoning (CZ)Approvals, our team worked directly with the
Town of Chapel Hill as our client. Several projects facilitated engagement with neighbors, stakeholder groups, and the Town
Council. Those more recent projects include:
Morgan Creek Greenway Master Plan and Implementation Plans: The project consisted of a 1.8-mile section of paved
multi-use trail for the Town. The trail is a part of the Morgan Creek Greenway in the Chapel Hill trail system, requiring public
input, master planning, and trail design from Smith Level Road to Merritt's Pasture. Our assignment encompassed working
with the advisory committee, concept design and cost estimating, construction plans, and bidding. The design process for
Phases 1 and 2 involved NCDOT oversight.
Rogers Road Small Area Plan: Community engagement and master planning were vital components of the historic
Rogers Road Neighborhood project. Our team's responsibilities included holding neighborhood meetings to discuss the
neighborhood's history and solicit community input on their vision for the future. During the day-long community design
workshops, we led teams of residents in creating an ideal concept for the future physical form of the community. The
workshops resulted in a summary master plan, report, and presentation of findings to the community and Town Council.
American Legion Property Acquisition: The project involved community and stakeholder engagement and planning
for the American Legion property on Legion Road to evaluate the feasibility of the Town acquiring the property for use as
a park and other benefits. Our team's responsibilities included base mapping and data gathering well as organizing and
coordinating stakeholder and community input sessions, including day-long design workshops to arrive at several master
plans for the property. Master plan deliverables at this phase included a summary report and plan for presentation back to
the neighborhood and Town Council. The Town Council subsequently formed a steering committee which our team led and
facilitated for the following summer, resulting in an updated plan, cost estimates, and recommendations to the Town Council.
Homestead Road Residential Community: The Town's development of an affordable housing community with various
housing types at 2200 Homestead Road began with our team's initial community and stakeholder engagement and planning
efforts. Our responsibilities included base mapping and data gathering, arranging stakeholder and community input
sessions, and a series of design workshops to create a master plan for the proposed community. Master plan deliverables
included a summary report and plan for presentation to the neighborhood and Town Council as well as a follow-up
successful CZ application.
Chapel Hill Splash Pads: The Town engaged our team to evaluate multiple existing park facilities to determine the
feasibility of installing splash pads. Our work comprised data gathering in the form of base mapping at each location;
determining the availability of water, sewer, parking, and sufficient space for the facilities; and a summary response to
recommendations, including budget estimates.A draft summary report based on our findings was presented to the Town
Council at a special public meeting.

WORKLOAD/ABILITY TO MEET SCHEDULE
We understand that time is of the essence and performing the work in a timely manner is key. We will hold meetings with
you and your staff at key points along the development of a given project to ascertain feedback, to update schedules and
budgets, and to apprise of any issues that may transpire through the project development process.
Thomas & Hutton considers the team's workload when assigning staff to serve Orange County. We recognize that well-
timed and effective communication is key to the successful completion of any project. We have assessed our team's future
availability for this project and are confident in successfully completing all tasks required on a reasonable schedule.As
a core principle in our client-care standards, once a team is assigned to a project, we are dedicated to that project until
completed. There are no known major pending projects or any anticipated organizational changes that could impact the
ability to dedicate personnel and resources needed to complete the tasks for this project in a timely manner.
MANAGEMENT OF TIME
At Thomas& Hutton, we strive to be viewed as an extension of your staff. The single biggest factor to our success in
that endeavor is communication. We communicate frequently with our clients, regulatory agencies, and contractors via
telephone, email, and in-person at every opportunity. This mindset guides our approach to accomplishing our work with our
clients. Every project will commence with a kick-off meeting to discuss the project, the known obstacles, the end-users, and
what makes a successful deliverable. Thomas & Hutton's willingness and desire to understand our clients' needs allows us
to proactively resolve potential problems before they become critical issues. Furthermore, we have very close relationships
with agency staff and can estimate permitting timeframes based on "real-time". We also maintain close relationships with
many qualified general contractors to get input on the state of the local construction industry and project construction
schedules. While an unforeseen project cost or delay may arise, we can quickly provide value engineering options and
effectively revise the project schedule to stay within budget and minimize the impact to the schedule.
In 2017, we increased our dedication to quality control and project tracking by developing a new proprietary project
management software, Bloodhound. Our project managers utilize this software to track project progress based on key
milestones, invoices, and deliverables.Additionally, project review by experienced professional staff can be requested for
construction plans, specifications, reports, and other work product reviews across all our offices. Bloodhound also allows us
to leverage Thomas& Hutton's broad and diverse knowledge base to all projects. We strive to manage all our projects from
kickoff to completion using Bloodhound to allocate the appropriate resources and ensure timely completion. We have found
this process enables us to meet client goals and provide high-quality deliverables.
All members identified on the Thomas& Hutton team are available to begin work immediately upon notice to proceed. With
our resources, we are always accessible and will assure that project tasks are efficiently completed according to the project
scope, schedule, and budget.
