Tinley Park committee refers Wright & Company space-needs study to Village Board
Summary
Committee members approved referral of a proposed agreement with Wright & Company to produce a comprehensive facilities space-needs study; staff expects draft materials next week and a final consultant report by mid-year, with a full package anticipated by November.
The Committee of the Whole moved a proposed professional services agreement with Wright & Company — to perform a comprehensive space-needs study for village facilities — to the Village Board for final approval.
Committee members described the work as important for future planning and asked staff to closely monitor the consultant's deliverables. A committee member said the study "is a very important study" and emphasized the need to ensure the village gets value from the contract. Staff told the committee the consultant will submit plans next week and estimated the full report would be ready by mid-year, with an expected substantial package for Village Board review around November.
The scope as discussed: a methodical, facility-by-facility evaluation to identify current conditions and future space needs, to inform budgeting and capital planning. Walker (who oversaw the RFQ process) set up interviews and selections; a trustee indicated they will run point on coordination with facilities staff as the work proceeds.
Why it matters: The study is intended to shape long-range decisions about village-owned buildings, staff workspace, and capital investments; its recommendations could affect renovation and replacement schedules, budget priorities, and future bond or capital requests.
Next steps: The item was referred to the Village Board; staff will monitor consultant milestones and present the consultant's deliverables to the Board when complete.
