HomeMy WebLinkAboutSS4 - City Hall Space OptionsJ • July 10, 2001 STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. SS4 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Public Works Department SUBJECT: CITY HALL SPACE OPTIONS RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file. DISCUSSION: Two surveys have been distributed to Department Heads requesting information regarding current office space requirements and the condition of those spaces. The data contained in both of these surveys indicate there is a deficit of space for employee work areas on the City Hall Campus of approximately 4,300 square feet. There is an immediate need to provide additional space for existing employees, some • of which are working in aisle ways. Many work areas are already overcrowded and have limited storage or work surfaces. The following summary additional floor space needs was developed from the survey information received from each of the Department Heads. A detail of the space needs by area is included as an attachment. Several of the surveys indicated there was a need for even more space for conference rooms, temporary staff, and file storage and those items are included in the Comments column of the detail sheets. A summary of the shortage of space is identified by building in the following table : Summary Additional Floor Space Needs Total Building B (Acct/CityMgr) 1,800 Total Building C (Prof/Tech) 1,700 Total Building D MIS /A 840 Grand Total 4,340 On Page No. 4 of the FY 2001 -02 Preliminary CIP Budget, there is a project entitled City Hall Space Expansion — Phase I. This project will provide $345,000 to address the office space shortage that exists on the City Hall Campus. Five possible expansion opportunities have been identified as follows: • SUBJECT: CITY HALL EXPANSION July 10, 2001 Page 2 A. Engineering expansion • B. Temporary office buildings at rear of Prof/Tech Building C C. Expansion of lobby area into walkway of Prof/Tech Building C D. Addition of a 2nd story over the Revenue offices E. Demolition of the old City Jail and installation of temporary office buildings Staff has reviewed each of these options and recommends the selection of both B and D as the most cost effective and the quickest to implement. These alternatives would provide an additional 1,344 square feet of office area. The mobile office spaces can be installed quickly and easily, possibly within sixty days. The offices would not be provided with water or wastewater services, but would have electricity, phone, and data lines. The mobile offices would be made to order for the City and painted to match the City's other buildings. Attractive landscaping and skirting will be installed to create the look of an actual office site. Mobile office spaces can be installed at a cost of approximately $60 per square foot. Construction of a permanent office space could not be accomplished for less than $200 per square foot, making the mobile office space a viable consideration. Staff has analyzed the cost to lease versus the cost to purchase and the break -even point is at four years. If installed, it is unlikely the City would not utilize the office space for less than four years, so staff recommends the City consider purchasing instead of leasing. The total cost of purchasing four mobile office units, including setup, skirting, tie - downs, landscaping, and ramping is estimated at less than $90,000. • Mobile offices are most suited to staff that are not in the office area for the full workday. Construction Inspectors, Surveyor Crews, and Building Inspectors could be likely candidates for this type of office use. As these staff members are relocated to the mobile offices, work areas will be made available in the City Hall Campus.
