C NAME: Larry Thompson DEPARTMENT: Administration DATE: September 27, 1988 MEETING DATE: October 3, 1988 CATEGORY: Unfinished Business SU3JECT: General Services Space Needs Study EXPLANATION: Approve funding for a space needs study to be prepared by Bonestroo, Rosene. REFERENCE MATERIALS/RESPONSIBILITY: Memo - Larry Thompson REFERRED TO: (NAME) DEPARTMENT: Larry Thompson Administration Department Heads SIGNATURE MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL SUBJECT: SPACE NEEDS STUDY DATE: SEPTEMBER 29, 1988 Per Council directive, staff has researched the completion of a needs study. Because of the present demand on staff time, plus the lack of expertise relating to needs studies, I feel that the City should seek outside help in completing the study. I have contacted Bob Rosene of the City's consulting engineering firm, and he indicated that the study could be completed between $3,500 and $4,500. The study would research City space needs, provide basic floor plans and estimate costs. While there may be some opposition to the cost, I feel it is important that the City retain expert advice so that the building may be designed at a minimum cost. One of the major concerns expressed by the Council when discussing the matter was that the City was not purchasing or constructing a building which exceeds City needs. It should be noted that the Consulting Engineer has an architect and civil engineer on staff. I would recommend that the City allocate funds for the study from contingency and direct me to develop a work plan for Council approval.
