Architects outline three options for juvenile center: keep program, value-engineer, or cut scope
Consultants told commissioners the $15.8 million original design could be reduced toward $15 million via VE, cut to about $14 million through more extensive VE, or trimmed to roughly $12.5 million by eliminating program elements (for example moving administrative wings off-site).
The full story
Consultants presented three principal approaches to bring the juvenile attention center cost closer to county targets: (1) maintain the full program (original ~$15.8 million) and pare finishes and square footage through value engineering; (2) pursue more extensive value engineering and system changes to reach roughly $14,000,000; or (3) reduce program scope—removing administrative wings or other program spaces—to target about $12,500,000.
