12 <br />foot facility that would follow a new construction path ( "Option 1 ") or the "adaptive re -use" <br />construction path ( "Option 2 "). Attachment 2, entitled "NHSC Development Option <br />Comparison ", compares and contrasts these two options. <br />In summary, while both options are similar in total cost, Option 1 allows for more design and <br />space planning flexibility. Option 2 maintains the important social, cultural, and historic <br />elements within the design, but would restrict some space planning and use flexibility. <br />The September 25, 2012 public meeting produced a strong preference for Option 2, the <br />"adaptive re -use" path. Attachment 3 is a September 25, 2012 NHSC Community Meeting #2 <br />Summary which provides the salient outcomes of that meeting. <br />In addition to the preference for Option 2, the public meeting group embraced staff's suggestion <br />that an informal resident design and review advisory group be presented to the Board for <br />approval. <br />This item was presented to the Board during the October 25, 2012 work session. Members of <br />the public who had previously attended the public meetings were invited to attend this work <br />session. These individuals have also been invited to the November 8, 2012 regular meeting <br />and have been informed that they can comment on this item during its presentation. <br />Should the Board approve the Manager's recommendations, the general development timeline <br />may be as follows: <br />TASK <br />PROPOSED <br />BEGINNING <br />DATE <br />END BY <br />DATE <br />BOCC Action: Decision on Manager recommendations <br />11/8112 <br />11012 <br />NHSC fully vacated <br />12/31/12 <br />12131/12 <br />Project design RFQ process; Board approval of Designer <br />Contract <br />3/1/13 <br />6/20/13 <br />BOCC Action: Approval for Designer Professional Services <br />Agreement (est. <br />6/20/13 <br />6/20/13 <br />Project schematic design <br />6/20/13 <br />10/20/13 <br />BOCC Action: Approval of Schematic Design est. <br />10120/13 <br />10120/13 <br />Project final design, bid document preparation <br />11/1/13 <br />1/31/14 <br />Project Bid - abatement, deconstruction and adaptive re -use <br />construction est.) <br />2/1/14 <br />4/28/14 <br />BOCC Action: Bid Award, Budget Approval for Construction <br />est.) <br />6120114 <br />6/20/14 <br />Construction, Commissioning, Opening est. 8 months duration <br />7/1/14 <br />3/1/15 <br />
