SECTION A
SCOPE OF WORK
The facility analysis will serve as a road map and scope of the building modernization work that
will take place. It will provide a sound footing from which logical, orderly, and the health
department priorities will become part of the building renovation work that ensues. The facility
analysis shall include the key modernization action items outlined below. Additional focus shall
be on spatial layout and traffic flow within the facility to achieve additional efficiency in serving
clients and assisting in client privacy.
The facility is approximately 24,000 square feet and was constructed in the early 1970’s
originally as a ban facility. The building had a moderate renovation in 1990 when the County
initially acquired the building. Attached please find a schematic floor plan and aerial plans of
the site and property.
Finally, the analysis shall include a long-term conceptual plan for facility expansion to meet
future public health service needs. This will include a basic schematic footprint for the site to
help guide and prevent infringement upon the long-term plan from site decisions made that
would negatively affect the future expansion.
