The existing Criminal Justice Center is comprised of 217,000 square feet spread across five main levels with an underground basement, a new second floor addition and expanded entry vestibule will add approximately 8,000 square feet to the building area, resulting in 225,000 square feet of programmed space. Currently, the Criminal Justice Center project is undergoing plan review by a private, third-party provider Engineering Consulting Services. The project has already received approval on the site plans from the Development Review Committee under the County’s Planning and Development department. One of the first tasks of the CMAR will be to perform pre-construction services with participation from stakeholders to ultimately balance the project budget with today’s construction material costs. A performance base schedule outlining the phases of construction with durations for assumed swing spaces will require collaboration with the A/E. Before advancing the project into the construction phase the CMAR will prepare a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the work to the Board for approval. During the construction phase the building will remain fully operational with both staff and public utilizing the courtrooms and associated support spaces. This project will require highly detailed coordination with all stakeholders to ensure the safety of occupants and unimpeded operation of the courts for all planned construction activities. Also, the immediate area surrounding the building has already been fully developed resulting in a limited area of space for construction material laydown, subtrades parking, and general jobsite facilities.
