Description
The Ulster County Department of Public Works is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to perform a comprehensive space needs assessment for the Ulster County Courthouse. The consultant will evaluate the efficiency of existing spaces, determine potential needs, analyze opportunities for space optimization, and provide a general review of the condition of building structures and systems. The project includes developing space programming, preparing detailed cost estimates, and identifying potential layout changes to accommodate additional employees and storage. The successful responder will execute a contract with the County of Ulster for a period of 6 months, with an option to renew for an additional 6-month term. Key aspects of the project include:
• Evaluating current workspaces and workflow within the building
• Identifying unused or underutilized areas and making recommendations to maximize existing space
• Developing conceptual plans and a scope of renovations
• Determining the appropriate square footage needed per employee and recommending procedures to right-size the existing space portfolio
• Forecasting future space needs and recommending options that consider departmental mission requirements, evolving regulations, and alternative workplace arrangements
