County recommends $800,000 facilities condition assessment and 20‑year master plan
Summary
Staff told commissioners the county should invest roughly $800,000 in a level‑3 facilities condition assessment and a space‑utilization master plan; staff said past studies were lower‑level and a more invasive review is needed for electrical, HVAC, plumbing and roofs.
Commissioners asked whether the county could rely on past software or lower‑level studies instead of a near‑$1 million assessment. David told the board that the existing work‑order system is not a master‑planning tool, past level‑1 assessments were fairly superficial, and a level‑3 condition assessment is invasive and intended to document electrical infrastructure, HVAC, plumbing and roofs.
"Master plan should be at least 20," David said when asked about the appropriate planning horizon. He explained a level‑3 assessment combined with a 20‑year master plan would provide the kind of detail the county needs to prioritize projects and better estimate budgets. Commissioners asked whether the county could phase the work and whether incremental updates to the work‑order system could reduce costs; staff said past documentation was incomplete and that the proposed scope reflects a desire for a thorough baseline before scaling capital spending.
