Fuquay Varina awards police department needs-assessment contract to ADG for $117,780
Summary
The town approved a contract with Architect Design Group to perform a police department needs assessment and feasibility study for $117,780, citing greater site development potential on the existing police campus and a 6'9 month study timeline.
The Fuquay Varina board approved a contract award to Architect Design Group (ADG) for a police department needs assessment and feasibility study with a proposed fee of $117,780.
Staff told the board the contract scope includes a detailed spatial needs assessment, a preliminary technology review, site analysis, conceptual master planning and conceptual building design, plus an estimate of probable development costs. Jonathan (staff presenter) said preliminary civil engineering work expanded the site's development potential from earlier assumptions and that the full 5.92-acre site may be usable for future expansion.
The contract price is $117,780, which staff said aligns with industry norms for similar feasibility projects. Initial funding of $50,000 was included in the FY25 budget; staff identified an additional $67,780 from cost savings and one-time salary lapses in FY25 to complete the project without requesting new appropriations at the May 5 meeting.
When asked about schedule, staff said they expect to initiate the contract within 30 days, hold a kickoff meeting, and return with a report and presentation to the board within approximately six to nine months.
The board moved, seconded and approved the contract award and authorized the town manager or his designee to execute the agreement subject to attorney review.
Clarifying details: proposed ADG fee $117,780; initial FY25 funding $50,000; additional $67,780 identified from FY25 savings/salary lapses; site area 5.92 acres; anticipated report timeline 6'9 months.
Ending: ADG will start work after contract execution and staff will return with findings and cost estimates for board consideration.
