BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 5, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Don Turner
SUBJECT: Funding Request Crestview Courthouse Design Assistance
DEPARTMENT: Facility Maintenance
BCC DISTRICT: ALL
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval of funding not-to-exceed (NTE) $32,000 to procure
technical assistance with the Crestview Courthouse project concept development.
BACKGROUND: Over the past many years, non-court related functions have been relocated out
of the Crestview courthouse to other county facilities to make room for the increased demand for
court services. The FY '14 budget makes provisions to create space for the Property Appraiser's
office in the Brackin Building which will vacate their current space in the Crestview courthouse.
The core of the facility was constructed in 1953 and a major expansion constructed in 1962 and
'63. Other than a series of limited remodeling projects over the years, no facility-wide
renovation has been undertaken to address the needs of a modern court operation.
To maximize the utility of the courthouse for those court related functions that remain and
provide for the security needs for the facility, the courthouse is in need of significant renovation.
To begin the process, some technical assistance is needed for concept designs and cost
estimating. The duration of the assistance may last for up to fifteen (15) weeks and will require a
not-to-exceed (NTE) budget of $32,000.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Request approval of funding not-to-exceed (NTE) $32,000 to procure
technical assistance with the Crestview Courthouse project concept development.
