Summary

The board approved funding allocation #324: $79,780 to American Structure Point for schematic design work on a Phase 2 city hall reconfiguration that would convert vacant areas into conference and office space and lead to later detailed construction plans.

The Chair said funding allocation #324 would fund Phase 2 schematic design for a city hall reorganization/restacking and described the scope as interior design, space planning and mechanical/electrical/plumbing considerations. The chair explained schematic design follows concept design and precedes detailed construction plans that would include construction documents and specifications. A motion to approve the $79,780 allocation passed by roll call vote.

The schematic design will study best and highest uses for vacant areas including conference space in the old courtroom and storage and office expansion. The Chair noted this stage increases design detail and will be followed by a detailed design phase if approved.
