Trustees consider 30-year facilities needs; consultant studies could cost $10,000—60,000
Summary
Trustees discussed commissioning facility needs assessments and feasibility studies to plan for long-term (30+ year) municipal needs; Speaker 2 estimated independent study costs could range from about $10,000 to $100,000 and offered to solicit quotes.
At the Feb. 2 work session Speaker 2 told trustees that, while meeting with department heads, a recurring theme was whether current facilities can meet long-term needs through 2050 and beyond, and she recommended obtaining independent facility needs assessments and feasibility studies.
Speaker 2 said the cost of such studies depends on scope and that she had seen a wide price range for independent analyses: "Generally speaking, price range, I've seen those go anywhere from 10,000 to 100,000," she said. She offered to solicit quotes and return with more detailed information and cost estimates.
No formal decision, procurement, or vote was recorded in the transcript. The discussion was presented as a high-level request for information and potential next steps, not as authorization to contract for studies.
Next steps: Staff was asked to collect quotes and bring back recommendations and cost estimates; trustees gave no directive in the transcript to proceed with contracting at this meeting.
