• The Consultant will concentrate on the elimination of barriers that impede vital information flow between the components and establish a technological basis and managerial function that is aimed at reducing duplication and inefficiency in the system. Beyond identifying the opportunities for management improvements, the study team will recommend the management changes that will be necessary within each component. The Consultant will document the opportunities for a more efficient system through management and organizational changes and recommend specific roles and responsibilities in achieving the management changes. Each recommended improvement option will be factored into the overall growth management plan based on a prioritized level of need in conjunction with budget limitations.The impact of changing priorities will be examined so that a clear understanding emerges of how each planned strategy will affect the incarceration numbers or other aspects of the system as a whole. Subtask 5.3 Define the Objectives and Cost for Implementation Once the implementation plans are developed and approved by the PSCC, an overall estimation of costs inclusive of facility needs and program services together with a projected general budget target will be developed. A computerized "spread sheet"general budget guide who includes an annual inflation assumption will be prepared. General cost estimates and budget recommendations will be identified clearly by specific programmatic element and where applicable by institution or residential facility in order to be able to assign logical funding sources and to allocate cost responsibility between various agencies. Both short and long-term priorities and options will be clearly illustrated. All elements of the plan will be summarized in a recommended priority order with a suggested time schedule for implementation of each element. The approximate beginning and completion dates for each element will be given and summarized in a chart format as well so that each element can be visually considered in relation to all other elements. With consultation from County Board of Commissioners and PSCC members regarding the County's projected overall annual budget capacity from year to year,the study team will examine the recommended improvements budgets in relation to funding and finance capacity. Scheduling and priority assignments may then be adjusted as desired to match probable overall budget capacity limits. The schedule and priorities will be reviewed with the Committee to develop a consensus about the optimum preferred sequencing of all plan elements Review Workshop/Presentation Following the completion of the development options,another workshop meeting will be scheduled for the review of findings prior to finalization and submission. This meeting will discuss specific issues with individual groups. Subtask 5.4 Develop General Space Programs Using the results of the detailed personnel and space needs forecasts the study team will develop the next level of planning detail consisting of block space programs through the 2025 horizon. While these programs will not be detailed pre-design facility programs it is necessary to develop accurate estimates of spatial sizes, general adjacencies and general conditions needed to be able to determine realistic facility sizes and footprints for testing on site. The general programs will include space tables that will allow the development of facility concept drawings to be used to conduct thorough evaluations of all feasible combinations and options.
