2. Professional Services Contract Jovana Amaro, 919.245.2651
Alan Dorman, 919.245.2627
PURPOSE: To:
1) Approve the County entering into a professional services agreement with Smith Sinnett
Architecture, P.A., for the Sportsplex renovation to add a family change room; and
2) Authorize the County Manager to execute the Agreement, subject to final review by the
County Attorney, and any subsequent amendments for contingent and unforeseen
requirements up to the approved budget amount on behalf of the Board of County
Commissioners.
BACKGROUND: The Orange County Sportsplex has been open since 1994, and serves
thousands of residents through three (3) indoor pools, a National Hockey League-sized ice rink,
a multi-sport field, and a fitness center.
In September 2023, Orange County issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), RFQ No 367-
5400 Professional Services for Various Architectural Projects located in Orange County, North
Carolina, for architectural firms to submit their qualifications for various related projects, including
renovating the existing facility to include adding a family change room along with other
improvements to the existing locker rooms. In November 2023, the County's evaluation committee
reviewed the submitted package from Smith Sinnett Architecture, P.A, and negotiations began
after the selection was made.
Due to financial constraints at the time, this project was placed on hold until FY 2025-2026, when
the Board of County Commissioners approved funding for professional services.
As SportsPlex enters its next decade of operations, its infrastructure must evolve alongside the
community it serves. Investing in a dedicated Family Changing Room is a proactive measure that
mitigates safety risks, eliminates accessibility barriers, and elevates the facility to modern
recreation standards.
2
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The professional services agreement fee for this project is $138,000. The
Board previously approved funding for this purpose at the Business meeting on June 17, 2025.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports:
• GOAL 1: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND CLIMATE ACTION
OBJECTIVE 2. Invest in our infrastructure to reduce the environmental impact of the
County fleet/facilities and improve safety.
OBJECTIVE 6. Protect water supply/watersheds
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board
1) Approve the County entering into a professional services agreement with Smith Sinnett
Architecture, P.A., for the Sportsplex renovation to add a family change room; and
2) Authorize the County Manager to execute the Agreement, subject to final review by the
County Attorney, and any subsequent amendments for contingent and unforeseen
requirements up to the approved budget amount on behalf of the Board of County
Commissioners.

Attn.: Ms.Angel Barnes
Assistant Director,Asset Management Services
Dear Ms. Barnes:
FEE PROPOSAL: Sportsplex Renovation
Smith Sinnett Architecture greatly appreciates the opportunity to provide Orange County with a proposal
for Architectural Design & Engineering Services for the Sportsplex renovation project, located at 101
Meadowlands Drive, Hillsborough, North Carolina.
SCOPE OF WORK:
The Sportsplex needs upgrades to the pool facility's changing/locker rooms with the addition of a new
family changing area. It is proposed that these new rooms be located in the party room alcove space
which adjoins the swimming center. The layout and number of rooms has not been determined.
We will want to meet with stakeholders and staff at their convenience to confirm the scope before
beginning design. Additionally,we will meet with you,the end users and the county commissioners and
whoever you designate to be a necessary part of this process.
We will provide per square foot cost estimating at the conclusion of the design development phase in
order to endeavor to stay within your budget. We will use recent experience to provide you with a
ballpark cost range with which you can move forward. This cost, along with all architectural and
engineering fees,are included within our overall fee.
PROGRAMMING/SCHEMATIC DESIGN/DESIGN DEVELOPMENT:
Smith Sinnett Architecture will work with and coordinate all members of the design team to evaluate the
owner's requests and begin developing an approach to design and construction of the proposed
improvements. During the programming phase, Smith Sinnett will meet with the owner's designated
stakeholders to fine tune our understanding of space needs and the eventual build out of the up fit. After
these conversations, we will develop a program and a preliminary budget. Initially, we expect to meet
with Orange County's Planning Department to assess and meet all requirements for approvals. During
the schematic design/design development phase we would anticipate attending meetings with the
owner to present design progress and collect owner feedback. We will meet with your reviewing
agencies as quickly as possible in order to assess the requirements for approvals in order to expedite
the project.

The following SD/DD portion is defined as the architectural, structural, plumbing, mechanical and
electrical work will be produced in Revit,therefore it is likely to be more detailed than a typical schematic
design phase and moves well into the design development phase. We assume the County will supply
conformed A/E construction documentation and that these drawings are accurate.
This phase shall produce documents that illustrate and describe the refinement of the project design,
establishing project scope,form,size,materials and appearance,as documented through plans,sections
and typical construction details.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS:
The construction documents shall be based on approved schematic design/design development
documentation and shall set forth in detail the requirements for construction of the project. These
documents may include, but not be limited to, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, framing plans,
elevations, sections, typical wall sections, miscellaneous details and specifications sufficient for
permitting, cost negotiation and construction. Engineering fees are included and will be required for
permitting. Required engineering services will include structural,plumbing,mechanical,electrical, and fire
protection.
PERMIT/BID ADMINISTRATION:
Based on the proposed budget of$900,000 we anticipate a formal bid process.As this work is all interior
renovation, we only plan to meet local County requirements for permit review. We plan to review the
preliminary design with the inspections department prior to developing the working drawings.
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION:
The Architect shall provide administration of the contract between the Owner and the Contractor. As a
representative of the Owner,the Architect shall visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of the
Contractor's operations, or as otherwise agreed by the Owner and Architect. Typically,we visit the site
once a week and whenever the need arises. The Architect shall not be responsible for the construction
means, methods, techniques, procedures, as these are solely the responsibility of the Contractor. The
Architect shall review contractor pay requests and advise the Owner as to their relative
completeness. The Architect shall review any contractor submittals, RFIs, ASI's, produce meeting
minutes, conduct monthly and preconstruction meetings and report all info to the owner and the
contractor to ensure that they are in keeping with the construction documentation. The architect
anticipates a not to exceed four-week construction period. If the construction period should exceed this
time frame, the Architect shall provide additional construction administration services as an additional
service, upon written approval by the Owner.
Smith Sinnett and our consultants will begin to set up project drawings that will be used throughout the
project. With each phase,the drawings will become more detailed and developed.
SCHEDULE AND DESIGN FEES:
We understand the quick schedule and we will do all we can to accommodate this schedule. We can
begin immediately. We will attempt the following time frame, all of which will be dependent on quick
stakeholder decisions and timely agency approvals.
For full Architectural Design Services, based on a total construction budget of nine hundred thousand
dollars ($ 900,000), compensation shall be based on a fixed fee of one hundred and thirty-eight
thousand dollars($ 138,000).

Attachment B - Description of Basic Services
Smith Sinnett Architecture will work with and coordinate all members of the design team to evaluate the owner's requests and begin
developing an approach to design and construction of the proposed improvements. During the programming phase, Smith Sinnett will meet
with the owner's designated stakeholders to fine tune our understanding of space needs and the eventual build out of the up fit. After these
conversations, we will develop a program and a preliminary budget. Initially, we expect to meet with Orange County's Planning Department
to assess and meet all requirements for approvals. During the schematic design/design development phase we would anticipate attending
meetings with the owner to present design progress and collect owner feedback. We will meet with your reviewing agencies as quickly as
possible in order to assess the requirements for approvals in order to expedite the project.
The following SD/DD portion is defined as the architectural, structural, plumbing, mechanical and electrical work will be produced in Revit,
therefore it is likely to be more detailed than a typical schematic design phase and moves well into the design development phase. We assume
the County will supply conformed A/E construction documentation and that these drawings are accurate.
This phase shall produce documents that illustrate and describe the refinement of the project design, establishing project scope, form, size,
materials and appearance, as documented through plans, sections and typical construction details.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS:
The construction documents shall be based on approved schematic design/design development documentation and shall set forth in detail the
requirements for construction of the project. These documents may include,but not be limited to, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, framing
plans, elevations, sections, typical wall sections, miscellaneous details and specifications sufficient for permitting, cost negotiation and
construction. Engineering fees are included and will be required for permitting. Required engineering services will include structural,
plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and fire protection.
PERMIT/BID ADMINISTRATION:
Based on the proposed budget of$900,000 we anticipate a formal bid process. As this work is all interior renovation, we only plan to meet
local County requirements for permit review. We plan to review the preliminary design with the inspections department prior to developing
the working drawings.
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION:
The Architect shall provide administration of the contract between the Owner and the Contractor. As a representative of the Owner, the
Architect shall visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of the Contractor's operations, or as otherwise agreed by the Owner and
Architect. Typically, we visit the site once a week and whenever the need arises. The Architect shall not be responsible for the construction
means, methods, techniques,procedures, as these are solely the responsibility of the Contractor. The Architect shall review contractor pay
requests and advise the Owner as to their relative completeness. The Architect shall review any contractor submittals, RFIs, ASI's,produce
meeting minutes, conduct monthly and preconstruction meetings and report all info to the owner and the contractor to ensure that they are in
keeping with the construction documentation. The architect anticipates a not to exceed four-week construction period. If the construction
period should exceed this time frame, the Architect shall provide additional construction administration services as an additional service,upon
written approval by the Owner.
Smith Sinnett and our consultants will begin to set up project drawings that will be used throughout the project. With each phase, the
drawings will become more detailed and developed
