Orange County is now accepting Statements of Qualifications for Construction Managerat-Risk (“CMAR”) Services for two separate but related projects: 1.) The renovation of the Link Center, a 26,000 sq. ft administrative building, that will become the new Sheriff’s Office. The Link Center is located in downtown Hillsborough at 200 South Cameron Street. The Link Center was abandoned in 2019 due to significant water intrusion, which resulted in widespread mold growth. Environmental remediation, including mold abatement and water intrusion mitigation, must be completed before any renovation. The current project budget adopted in the FY 25-35 Capital Investment plan is $16,914,576 2.) The construction of a 6,000 sq. ft Sheriff’s Office evidence storage building on the same site as the existing Detention Center, located at 1200 US Hwy 70 North. Currently, evidence is stored in the basement of the old Jail. The current project budget adopted in the FY 25-35 Capital Investment plan is $2,430,000
