Davis, P.E., �" REFERENCES: <br />Public Works Director <br />The Consultant Selection Committee for the subject project received formal <br />presentations from four architectural/planning firms on June 12, 1985. <br />Initially, the Public Works Division described a scope of work to include a <br />master plan for a Public Works Facility to accommodate the Road and Bridge, <br />Traffic Engineering and Vehicle Maintenance Departments. As a result of <br />the Selection Committee meetings and further consideration of the possible <br />expansion of other Department needs, the selection committee is of the <br />opinion that a broader scope of work should be considered to include all <br />County Departments including Utilities, Parks, Building Maintenance, etc. <br />By the development of a Countywide space needs study; proper utilization of <br />the current County Administration Building, .future utility sites, and <br />satellite needs will be addressed. <br />St. Lucie County has recently completed a county -vide Master Plan, including <br />Court facilities. It is estimated that the cost of such a Master Plan <br />would be $100,000 for Indian River County, since certain studies have <br />previously been completed and can be incorporated. <br />cc: Selection Committee Members <br />Terry Pinto, Utilities Director / <br />Chairman Scurlock explained that while serving on this <br />selection committee, it became very apparent after interviewing <br />the various consultants that we need something more than just a <br />Master Plan for Public Works and understood that staff's <br />recommendation is that the Board address our entire space <br />problems during the upcoming budget sessions arid consider <br />expanding the scope of services to include,a space inventory and <br />space needs assessment. <br />Commissioner Wodtke agreed that we need to do something, but <br />hoped we would not have to spend $100,000 for someone to tell us <br />where to put everyone. <br />Commissioner Lyons felt we need somebody such as a space <br />specialist to make sure that we are getting the most out of our <br />office space. <br />20 <br />
