2 <br /> BOCC: Approval of Final Design, Summer-Fall, 2017 <br /> Guaranteed Maximum Price <br /> Permitting, State Review, Fall 2017 — Summer 2019 <br /> Construction Period (16-20 months) <br /> Occupation Fall-Winter, 2019 <br /> Concurrent to this process, staff was requested to provide information to the Board regarding a <br /> potential scope expansion of the project to include the co-location of a Law Enforcement <br /> Center/Sheriff's Offices ("LEC") with the proposed Detention Center. Staff proposes that this <br /> scope discussion include three options: <br /> 1) Standalone Detention Center only — This option represents the current project scope <br /> as contained in the County's Capital Investment Plan (CIP). <br /> 2) Detention Center with co-located LEC — This option would construct new <br /> administrative office space on the Detention Center site and relocate the Sheriff's <br /> administrative offices from the courthouse to the Detention Center. <br /> 3) Detention Center with infrastructure for future co-located LEC — This option would <br /> prepare the Detention Center site and install appropriate utilities and infrastructure for a <br /> colocation of the Sheriff's administrative offices on the Detention Center site at some <br /> point in the future. <br /> If the Board of Commissioners authorizes further analysis of these options, staff recommends <br /> five evaluation criteria to inform the decision making process. These factors include: <br /> 1) Cost of Construction <br /> 2) Staffing (Detention and LEC) <br /> 3) Operations and Maintenance (Detention and LEC) <br /> 4) Court operations support and security <br /> 5) "Backfill" options for potentially vacated spaces within the Justice Facility <br /> A matrix of general information regarding the three development options as well as <br /> comparative topics to be addressed in the Designer's analysis for each of the five decision <br /> factors is attached. This will be presented in an effort to encourage Board discussion and <br /> feedback to staff. <br /> Jeff Thompson, Director of Asset Management Services, made the following <br /> PowerPoint presentation: <br /> Detention Center Update <br /> Board of Orange County Commissioners <br /> Work Session <br /> October 6, 2016 <br /> Purpose <br /> • to receive an update on the Detention Center project schedule; and <br /> • To discuss and provide feedback to staff regarding a potential project scope expansion <br /> to move the existing Sheriff's Office administrative offices from the lower level of the <br /> courthouse to a co-located Law Enforcement Center on the new jail site. Court security <br /> staff would maintain offices in the courthouse. <br /> Activities to Date <br /> • Extensive stakeholder input <br />
