Board receives restoration-center preliminary report; staff authorized to negotiate housing operator with Oklahoma City Housing Authority
Summary
Design team presented a preliminary report for the MAPS Restoration Center (crisis and outpatient services) with an approximate budget of $18.5 million and detailed bed counts; the board received the report and authorized staff to negotiate an operating agreement with Oklahoma City Housing Authority for supportive housing associated with the project.
Dan Hayes presented the preliminary report for the MAPS Restoration Center, a combined mental-health and substance-abuse facility that the consultant described as composed of a crisis-focused urgent recovery center (URC) and an outpatient component.
Hayes said the team revised an earlier 51,000-square-foot estimate to about 34,000 square feet while retaining required program elements. He described the URC as providing "10 chair beds and 4 actual beds" for up to 24-hour observation and the crisis stabilization unit (CSU) as a 16-bed ward with stays up to seven days that can be split into two 8-bed wings. Hayes said the building will include two separate entrances — one for critical services and one for outpatient services — and on-site meal preparation and partner spaces.
On cost, Hayes said the total project budget was just over $18,500,000 and that the team's estimate came in at about $18,500,000 "just under." He said the land had been donated, which contributed to acquisition savings, and that the preliminary report is under review with a hoped-for move to Task 2 in January.
Separately, staff summarized the competitive selection for an operating partner for the supportive housing component attached to the project. An RFP produced three responses; a panel of city staff and two board members interviewed finalists and staff recommended negotiating with the Oklahoma City Housing Authority to operate the MAPS supportive housing. The board approved authorization to negotiate.
The board voted to receive the preliminary report and authorized staff to begin negotiations with Oklahoma City Housing Authority for supportive housing operations.
