Remodeling PAC remains a close second; committee asks for fuller cost breakdown
Summary
Staff presented PAC remodel options (75,000 ft² human services scope vs full 100,000 ft² building), estimated borrowing near $23M for partial remodel and higher (up toward $30–38M) for full remodel; committee asked for complete inclusion of restroom, window, asbestos and phasing costs and to see 30‑year scenarios.
Scott presented remodeling options for the existing Public Agency Center (PAC), using the county’s recent remodeling work as a benchmark and citing a cost per square foot (about $230/ft²) used in the current project. He described two scopes: remodel only the 75,000 ft² used by human services, or remodel the entire 100,000 ft² building. "We estimated the borrowing on that of roughly 23,000,000, which is the low end of a 100,000 square feet, the high end of the 75,000 square feet," Scott said, and added that furniture and other allowances could add roughly $2,000,000.
Committee members asked whether the PAC estimate included phased construction costs, windows and mechanical upgrades; Scott said some allowances were included but staff would verify individual line items and return with more granular numbers (including phasing costs and any additional mechanical work). Several supervisors said they saw remodeling as a close second to new construction depending on verified PAC costs.
