,1 <br />Item 5: Design Issues <br />~ <br />Randy had a report from Pence Kelly showing "improvements" they plan to make to courthouse <br />square. Randy wants to know what is missing. <br />ACTION: Randy asked Dan to compare this list to other remodels we have done and determine <br />what is missing, and if possible, what additional cost would other improvements be? (Dan asked <br />for a time line and Randy indicated he would like a response in about a month.) <br />Currently, the building is designed to have four floors and one underground floor for parking. Dan <br />Berry is still interested in adding a fifth floor for offices, and possibly another underground parking <br />level. A decision will be have to be made very soon. <br />Randy indicated that there is a concept called "building commissioning" in which a hired person will <br />certify that the building is completed and ready to occupy. Randy asked Bob if it would be in the <br />county's best interest to hire an outside party to perform this role. If not, what kind of standards can <br />Randy put into the agreement that says we will accept the building, but these are the conditions that <br />must be met prior to occupancy. He is concerned about such things as "sick building syndrome", <br />HVAC systems, leaking roofs, electrical systems...Randy is looking for a standard way to tie this <br />down so that once funds are released and county takes possession, all our needs are met or our <br />interests protected. <br />~r~'` ACTION: Randy asked Bob to determine what would it cost to hire someone to represent us in the <br />commissioning of the building. <br />Item 6: Questions <br />Theresa asked how long the parking structure be available. Randy indicated that the parking <br />structure will be available through May 1 st. If that changes he will let everyone know. <br />Once the parking structure on the new site is built, the contractor will be using the upper levels for <br />a staging area. If it is possible, without interfering with the contractor, we may be able to begin <br />leasing out parking spaces to county employees as early as February of 1998. This could only occur <br />if it would not interfere with the contractor. <br />~1r~w~ <br />
