We requested a basic layout, nd average constructi costs for new commercial space currently
forecasted between $300.00-$40.00 per square f t. We received a basic, preliminary design
from MJ Neal to place a new buil 'ng behind o r jail at approximately 3.5 million dollars.
The idea of a new building for Develo t Services brings excellent opportunities that deserve
serious consideration. First, we have a 'lding designed and built for the specific purpose of
helping our citizens and their constru ion of ects, requiring permitting, time with building
officials, and space to appropriatel interact 'th their local officials. Secondly, it provides an
8900 square foot, move -in ready uilding that i the future may house yet to be selected County
offices or be utilized as slides ace for offices as e remodel the Law and Justice building.
Regardless, the next step ' moving forward with a ne Development Services building would
be to formally contract ith MJ Neal and have them cre e plans, specifications, and bid
documents to create n accurate budget and bid the const tion of the building.
Central Service respectfully requests the Board's approval to c ntract with MJ Neal and
associates for is work, adding a change order to their current co tract. Central Services will
fund this cq tract through the professional services budget in Facili 'es and Maintenance.
Respec)fully Submitted,
