The selected applicant will engage with CJC staff to gather information on the existing facility, analyze relationships between existing programs and spaces, and provide suggestions for expansion of the facility. The expected Facility Needs Assessment should include at least the following: 1. Existing Conditions Assessment: A summary of the existing building’s physical condition, including additional detail for structural, mechanical, and electrical systems, identifying noteworthy features, and identifying limitations and deficiencies in the structure. 2. Programmatic Space Analysis: A comparison of existing spaces against desired programmatic functions, requirements of best practices, and best uses of existing spaces to identify areas of improvement, programmatic limitations and deficiencies resulting from space constraints, and best use cases of existing or new spaces. Analysis of these items should inform recommendations on how to improve the facility and better meet short and long-term goals of the organization. 3. Recommendations: Recommendations should guide and inform practical improvements to the existing building wherever possible. The CJC is seeking expertise to improve unforeseen weaknesses in the facility and regulatory constraints as well as guidance through known challenges including ADA compliance of the lower level, ideal locations of new building envelope and parking areas, build-out space lists, implementation schedules or phasing plans, and concept-level cost estimation.
