AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: June 20, 2012 Division: Public Works/Engineering
Bulk Item: Yes X No _ Department: Project Management
Staff Contact Person/Phone #: Shane Smith X4527
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise an RFQ for Professional Services for a Space
Planning/Facilities Assessment Report, to assess areas for consolidation to improve the efficiency of the
County.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The County has numerous existing buildings from which the County,
including the constitutional officers, support all county services. The County is responsible for
maintaining these facilities. Some of those facilities are underutilized. Others are fully utilized but in
need of significant upgrade. Others could, with some investment, be better utilized. Some County
services could be more effectively delivered from different locations. Past efforts have been aimed at
local optimization of facilities. Staff efforts to date have identified the obvious opportunities for
consolidation and elimination of rental spaces but staff resources are inadequate to conduct the
comprehensive review required to identify fundamental space realignments.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: In April 2010, the BOCC considered a proposal to
conduct a similar study. In response to the BOCC's directives, the Project Management department
undertook a limited review of County facilities. The review has led to the Jackson Square initiative.
Limited staff resources in the interim have precluded a more detailed review.
