During the initial design dialogues between <br /> staff and the design consultant, CRA Associates, all agreed that a more useful programming <br /> space is at the front entrance of the facility. <br /> This renovated entry will provide a more accessible front desk area. The expansion also <br /> provides a more flexible and comfortable expanded space where residents and patrons tend to <br /> gather in the facility. <br /> A representative of CRA Associates will be available to review the design. The attached <br /> Passmore Center Site and Floor Plan Illustrative provides plans and elevations of the expanded <br /> space. CRA Associates will provide the BOCC an overview of these plans and illustrative. <br /> The proposed project schedule is as follows: <br /> Construction Bidding Phase, Agency Permitting: September to October, 2017 <br /> Construction Contract Award: November, 2017 <br /> Construction: November, 2017 to March, 2018 <br /> Substantial Completion: April, 2018 <br />
