6 <br /> public whom they serve by relocating them one time and for a limited penod of tune. While the <br /> potential bide are likely to be more under this option than if we could vacate the building <br /> entirely, according to the engineering estimates, the difference should be reasonable. <br /> General Painting and Floor Covering Replacement <br /> As the HVAC and ceilingllighfing installation is completed, each area will be repainted and the <br /> floor covering replaced. The goal is to allow the workers to feel as If they are returning to new <br /> space. <br /> Special Considerations <br /> The construction schedule should be reasonably certain within the next few weeks, after the <br /> regulatory agency approvals have been received. We continue to explore options for relocating <br /> employees du ding the construction period, but have not finalized plans, pending approval of the <br /> plane and associated timelines, Options that we have considered are as follows: <br /> 1. Departments may double up with other departments and/or their own department that <br /> may be located in unaffected areas of the building. <br /> 2. Temporary workspace may be established in the Recreation Building using cubicles. <br /> 3. Supervisom may choose to allow some employees to telecommute for certain periods of <br /> time and for certain lobs. <br /> 4. Supervisors may choose to relocate some employees to other County facllltles (for <br /> example, some may temporarily work out of Southern Human Services Center or <br /> Homestead Community Center). <br /> 5. Modular office units maybe used. In particular, temporary clinic space may bB <br /> established through the utilization al rented modular units built for such a purpose. The <br /> Health Direclor has received proposals for two rental units designated to meet this need <br /> during the approximately six months needed to complete HVAC replacement and clinic <br /> renovation. <br /> The County staff and the engineers will be meeting with Department Heads located In the <br /> W hhted Building within the next couple of weeks to determine the combination of options that <br /> will make the move least painful to the county staff and public. We will keep the you and the <br /> Board apprised as more information becomes available. Should you new questions, please <br /> contact me directly at 245-2652. <br />
