The objective of the Study is to develop options, and the associated costs of those options, on how the city could plan for its facilities now and into the future. The specific properties anticipated to be included in this study are indicated below, but the breadth of the investigation will vary with each property. The Study is required to be completed by the end of October 2025. It’s not anticipated to have a robust public outreach or engagement campaign as part of the Study, but engagement with city staff, the City Council and key stakeholders will be needed. The selected firm shall assess each property to prepare a summary that provides a baseline needs analysis, the general condition, operational efficiency, and a listing of factors that may impact its future use. The Study shall not include in-depth structural, utility, IT, code compliance, etc., but assessments should include enough information to give an overview of operating costs, potential major replacements, deficiencies, use of space, potential for expansion and remaining service life. The city will provide existing building/site plans and other available records to the consultant in electronic (pdf) format. The firm selected shall meet with key staff to obtain feedback about current use, constraints, future needs, etc. The city would generally like to know what feasible options exist for the construction of new facilities compared to investment in existing facilities. The feasibility of these options shall include, but not be limited to: • Cost • Efficient use of space and access - Space planning shall be based on projected growth in the 2040 Comp Plan • Sustainability and assessment of current assets • Adherence to Strategic Priorities • Levels of service for the public • Land availability • Partnerships with stakeholders • Safety, Security, Code compliance, and Employee Wellness
