Committee moves to schedule architect consultation, weighs needs assessment costs
Summary
Members discussed arranging an architect to attend an upcoming meeting and debated the scope and likely cost of a needs assessment to size the public safety building; a needs assessment figure of roughly $5,000 was cited from past work.
Committee members discussed scheduling an architect to present design options and to complete a needs assessment that would inform building size, layout and parking requirements. The committee learned the architect's lead could not attend the current meeting and may be available for the April session; members discussed adjusting meeting timing to accommodate that consultation.
Members debated how much to invest in a formal needs assessment. One participant recalled a prior town needs assessment costing "just under $5,000," and others referenced a range of earlier figures when estimating architect and needs-assessment work; the committee agreed that a clear needs assessment would help determine whether a single- or two-story building (and required ADA elements such as an elevator) was appropriate.
