• Cost Savings & Efficiencies Gained
– Initial cost savings come from the elimination of
approximately 6,000 square feet from the annex project.
• The OCSO would need approximately 16,000 square feet at
the annex as apposed to approximately 10,000 at the
administrative complex.
– Decrease complexity of construction at the annex.
• OCSO functions would need separate entrances, elevators, and
secure parking due to the security requirements of our

investigations and patrol functions.

• Cost Savings & Efficiencies Gained
– Elimination of $126,000 in rent for Investigations
• The OCSO administration complex solution gets out of this
lease obligation approximately six months earlier than moving
investigations to the annex, saving approx. $63,000.
– Reduction of the OCSO facility footprint by over 8,000
square feet. Cuts utility, janitorial, facility maintenance,
and associated costs by over 40%
• Current footprint is over 18,000 sq.ft., Annex solution would be 16,000 sq.ft. , OCSO

Admin solution is near 10,000 sq.ft.

• Cost Savings & Efficiencies Gained
– Reduction in Human Resources. Consolidation of
facilities would reduce duplicated public service
access points.
• Current facilities require four separate locations for public
service lobbies.
• The OCSO Admin solution would cut that to one
location cutting over $100,000 in yearly personnel costs.

• Cost Savings & Efficiencies Gained
– The benefits of having improved command and
control are immeasurable. In the current
environment of increased citizen concern for fiscal
and operational oversight, leadership needs to be
close to those carrying out the mission. This
solution best fits that citizen mandate.
– This may be the last opportunity to consolidate our
operations for many years to come.

AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 5, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Don Turner
SUBJECT: RFQ for Design-Build Contractor for Crestview Courthouse Project
DEPARTMENT: Facility Maintenance
BCC DISTRICT: ALL
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request BCC approval to put out an RFQ for the selection of a
Design-Build Contractor for the Crestview Courthouse Project.
BACKGROUND: The core portion of the Crestview Courthouse was constructed in 1953 and
the two end sections were added in 1962 and '63. As the need for additional judicial space grew,
non-judicial operations have been relocated out of the courthouse and the vacated space
remodeled for court-related functions.
Resources were provided by the BCC in the FY '14 budget to prepare space for the Property
Appraiser's operations in the Brackin Building. They are scheduled to move out of the
courthouse as soon as that space is ready.
To take advantage of the opportunity to maximize the utility of the vacated space and to make
better use of the overall facility for court-related operations, staff requests approval to secure the
services of a qualified design-build contractor (DBC). The DBC will be tasked with taking the
Board's approved conceptual plans for the renovation of the facility and developing the concept
to fully renovate the existing space and construct any additional space that the Board approves.
If the Board approves this request, the Board is also requested to approve a selection committee
for the RFQ. A slate of recommended voting members is attached.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Request BCC approval to put out an RFQ for the selection of a
Design-Build Contractor for the Crestview Courthouse Project and appoint a selection
committee.
