Also attached is Allen & Hoshall’s proposal to facilitate a planning process with the City Council
and city staff to 1) renovate the existing city hall and 2) construct a detached Public Safety
Complex. The outcome of this initial phase would be a conceptual floor plan of departmental
configurations, exterior facade renderings, a report on existing building systems and necessary
improvements, and probable costs. The cost of this phase is $40,000 and will take about two
months to complete. After the completion and acceptance of this phase by the City Council, the
second phase, if approved, will consist of completion of the schematic design, design development,
construction documents, bidding assistance, and construction administration. The cost of this
second phase would be 8% of the construction cost and would take about 18-24 months to
complete. The funding source for this project would use a combination of the remaining General

Obligation Bond, Series 2021 funds ($1,192,000) and new debt. Below are estimated cost of the
expansion and renovation.
