MEMORANDUM
To:
From:
Sue Serino, Dutchess County Executive
Peter Grant Jordan. Ed.D., Presicked
Subject: Campus Transformation Project Resolutions
Date:
March 4, 2026
Dutchess Community College is requesting resolutions be presented for legislative approval and
funding for the Campus Transformation Project.
The funding anticipated for the campus transformation project, in the amount of $8,860,000, was
approved by the County Legislature in three different building budgets:
HC0622 Hudson Hall Interior Reconfiguration - Phase 1
HC0650 CBI Interior Design
HC0665 Dutchess Hall Renovation
Total
$3,666,000
1,975,000
3.219.000
$8,860,000
The winning architect bid came in within that total project budget. However, the allocations to
the individual projects do not align. Additionally, we have since learned that in 2023 the
HC0622 Hudson Hall project was only bonded for construction. There is an older project for
1C0601 Hudson Hall Upgrades in the amount of $1,400,000 which currently has $1,155,40
available to fund a portion of the Hudson Hall component. Therefore, the college would need to
submit resolutions in order to be made whole for the design fees. Breakdown as follows:

1 Design Costs
2 Amounts authorized via resolutions for design fees.
3 A total of $1.4 million was authorized for Hudson Hall design fess, $244,600 being used for
the design of the Hudson Hall Mechanical project.
However, after discussions with the County Budget and Finance departments, it was determined
that the best way to move forward is to rescind the resolutions for CBI (HC0650) and Dutchess
Hall (HC0665) and reduce the authorized appropriations in Hudson Hall (HC0601) and then
close out this project at year end. The design of the entire project will then be submitted in one
resolution. This approach is better than amending resolutions for each project as it is really one
large project and will be more transparent as the total project costs will be in one project
enabling flexibility in the use of the funds while still being able to track the expenses to the
individual building components. This approach will also reduce the time and cost of project
administration.
Therefore, the College is requesting the County Legislature rescind the following resolutions and
authorize a resolution for the total design services in the amount of $8,707,356.
Rescind resolutions:
CBI Interior Restack and Reprogramming Design
BOT 2025-16 and DC Legislature 2024216
Dutchess Hall Renovation and Addition - Design
BOT 2026-03 and DC Legislature 2025159
At this time, the College would also like to request additional funding for construction
management services. The construction management services for the project are integral to the
successful completion of the project. The construction management firm will work in tandem
with the architect throughout design, verifying the design and cost estimates through each project
phase and will be on-site during construction to manage the day-to-day operations of the project.
Thus, the college is requesting a resolution authorizing construction funding for the construction
management services for $4,731,679.
Later in the year we plan to ask for Construction Funds for the project as one capital project with
an estimated total cost of construction of $158.2M.
Thank you.
