The County desires the development of a sound, actionable, and fiscally responsible facilities plan that supports the entire county government organization by providing safe and inviting work environments that meet the varying operational needs of the downtown County departments. The County’s intent is to retain a consulting firm with the qualifications and staff resources necessary to perform County governmental facility planning services including, but not limited to, facilities conditions assessment, space and programming needs assessment, and development of a long-term facilities master plan. The facilities master plan should identify opportunities for preservation and potential redevelopment and/or readapting of current facilities as well as the identification of and/or planning for new facilities to establish a framework for the anticipated County facility needs for at least the next thirty years. These opportunities can include options on the current downtown campus or the potential relocation of certain offices to other locations.
