Most of these topics were included in the Kraus-Anderson Facility Analysis, and preliminary cost <br />estimates of $600,000 to $850,000 have already been programmed into the CIP. By completing the <br />facility analysis and concept planning process, we can make sure the building is being used in the <br />most efficient manner possible, and serves the public and staff to the best extent possible. It is also <br />anticipated that the preliminary cost estimates can be substantially reduced. <br />Staff received proposals from the two architect firms for two phases of work. First, the architect <br />would put together some concepts and work with staff on finding the best options, and putting <br />together cost estimates for those options. Second, once the final decisions have been made, the <br />architect would put together construction drawings that would lead to bidding the work out. <br />Additional information and details on the architect’s proposals will be provided at the workshop. <br />Staff is proposing to select one of the firms to move forward with the existing building review and <br />concept design stage in December and January. There are funds available in the 2021 budget to get <br />the concept planning portion of the work completed. The final concept plans will be brought back to <br />an upcoming City Council workshop in the first quarter of 2022 for review and input. Once the City <br />Council decides how to proceed, there are sufficient funds included in the 2022 budget to complete <br />the construction drawings. Depending on the final scope of the project, some of the proposed <br />improvements may be completed in 2022, with the remainder budgeted for completion in 2023. <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION: <br />Staff is providing this information as an update on the recommended next steps and we are requesting <br />City Council feedback. No action required.
