Commissioners Approve Countywide Space Study Contract, Extend Delivery Window
Summary
DeKalb County approved a contract with a space-study vendor and asked for a longer timeline—roughly six months—to ensure a full facility review and accurate recommendations.
DeKalb County commissioners approved an agreement with the hired space-study consultant and asked the vendor for an extended timeline to ensure a thorough assessment of county-owned buildings.
Nut graf: Commissioners signed the contract after staff and the consultant agreed to extend the usual 16-week schedule to approximately six months to allow the county committee time to meet, tour facilities and provide input.
Details: The county’s space-study committee and the consultant will conduct building walkthroughs and review blueprints and departmental needs. Commissioners requested at least six months for the study’s completion to accommodate committee meetings and ensure a comprehensive analysis. The vendor agreed to the revised schedule during preliminary discussions.
What’s next: The committee will meet with the consultant for an initial multi-building review; the consultant will provide regular updates, and the final recommendations will be presented to both the commissioners and county council.
