Prior to that time the building had been used as office and clinic space for <br /> the Health Department. Growth in the Sheriff's Department necessitated additional space, so in the <br /> mid-1980's the Department finished out the attic of the building and uses it as office space for the <br /> Investigations Division as well as a staff briefing area for the Patrol Division. <br /> Recently;the Board of Elections department was relocated to the Court Street Annex,thereby making <br /> space available for much needed expansion in the Sheriff's Department. It is proposed that an <br /> architect be commissioned to analyze the building from a functional and structural perspective to <br /> ensure the space is being used most efficiently. Hakan/Corley is somewhat familiar with the <br /> operations of the Sheriff's Department through their work with the GSC and the SHS projects. In an <br /> effort to minimize the start-up time it is recommended that we contract with them to accomplish the <br /> following scope of work: <br /> 1. Recommend modifications to the existing floor plan which would use the space more <br /> efficiently and enhance traffic flow. <br /> 2. Analyze functions of the department and recommend placement within the building <br /> to promote efficient work flow; <br /> 3. Recommend modifications which are necessary to meet ADA code requirements. <br /> 4. Analyze growth patterns and make recommendations about future additions to the <br /> building; when they may be necessary, where an addition should be located, and the approximate <br /> square footage necessary to accommodate growth. <br /> Hakan/Corley is proposing to accomplis the above-referenced scope of work for a sum not-to- <br /> exceed$4,200. This would include approximately 60 hours of drafting, design and conference time. <br />
