Orange County Space Needs Report � 2005 Update Page 9 of 69 Administrative As you will see in the department write ups , space requirements for administrative functions will be met incrementally . Ultimately , however , at such time that the court system needs dictate the use of the current Government Services Center , a new administration building is also suggested for the new campus . Plans would have the court needs addressed in the Sheriff ' s office building , the Court Street Annex and the Government Services Center Annex before the Government Services Center was vacated . Based on our knowledge of court operations today , the new administrative building is not likely to be built during the study period , however . 9 = 1 - 1 Center As was the case with the Administrative Building , the needs of the 911 Center will be met incrementally . The recommendations in this report support the relocation of the administrative function of Emergency Management to an alternative location , in the interim , with ultimate consolidation of the Administration , Fire Marshal , Communications and Emergency Medical functions to the new campus at such time a new building is feasible . Project Development Phases The commencement of project construction or renovation , as may be the case in some of the interim measures suggested , has been segmented into five -year . development increments beginning in 2005 and categorized as Tier 1 , Tier 2 or Tier 3 projects . Therefore : • Tier 1 projects would begin construction during the period 2005 -2010 ; • Tier 2 projects would begin construction between 2011 and 2015 ; and • Tier 3 projects would begin construction between 2016 and 2020 . Additionally , each Tier has been subdivided into 2 1/2 year increments so that projects may be categorized to more accurately reflect the priority of the project . For example , a project that is Tier 1 A would begin construction during the period 2005 through mid 2008 and a project designated as Tier 3B would begin construction during the period beginning mid 2018 through 2020 . Many of the projects listed will require a pre - construction period of up to two years . During this period , designers would be selected , planning groups consulted , regulatory approvals obtained , bids solicited , etc , in preparation for the construction to begin during the specified project development phase . Funding in the Capital Improvements Plan is likely to reflect planning/design money two years prior to the construction period specified . Calculation of Space Required Calculation of Square Footage Estimates Assessment of the 2010 space requirement numbers compiled by departments in 2000 indicated that most were still valid . By utilizing 2010 departmental square footage estimates , adjusted by conditions that may have changed since the 2000 report , projected square footage needs were re - calculated for each department .
