RECOMMENDATION
1. APPROVE a Consulting Services Agreement with The Design Partnership, 44 Brannan
Street, San Francisco, California 94107, for Architectural Predesign Services for the
New County Detention Center, effective November 27, 1984, with a $46,860.00 payment
limit which shall not be exceeded without further written authorization by the Public
Works Director; and
2. AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to siqn the Agreement.
BACKGROUND
1. The New County Detention Facility Site Committee is continuing to review sites and, in
con iunction with the Correctional Facilities Planning Task Force, to develop recommen-
dations for the location of a New County Detention Center. To be sure architectural
design can proceed as soon as a site has been selected and approved, the Planning Task
Force and the County Administrator's Office have recommended that the Public Works
Department proceed with architectural predesign services and with selection of a
project architect.
2. The purpose of the architectural predesign process (defined as "prearchitectural
programming" in the State grant contract) will be to review, refine and complete the
initial detention center program and requirements which were set forth in the County's
application for State Proposition 2 County Jail Expenditure Funds dated November 18,
1983. The product of the architectural predesign process will be a final report which
will be submitted to the Board for approval and will be given to the project architect
to serve as the basis of design for the new detention center.

3. The Sheriff, Public Works, Criminal Justice Agency and County Administrator staff
working on the Detention Project, after careful consideration of the need to proceed
expeditiously with the project and the most effective means of accomplishing the
predesign programming task, are recommending that the individual and firm that prepared
the original Proposition 2 application for State funds be appointed to proceed with
the programming.
The consultant is familiar with the county operations and procedures; is well acquainted
with the Sheriff's staff and policies and in the opinion of the Public Works Architec-
tural Division is very well qualified to accomplish the programming. The fee for the
programming is considered reasonable and is certainly influenced by the available
knowledge and experience of the consultant which avoids the time delay of the
preliminary background gathering work necessary for consultants not familiar with the
county and the project. The $46,860 fee compares very favorably when considering the
pre-architectural programming done for the Martinez Detention Facility in 1977 at a
cost of $128,000. The costs associated with the consulting services are eligible as
local match contributions for the state grant funds.
4. Within a few weeks, the Public Works Director will begin the process for selecting a
project architect to design the new detention center. In a separate Board Order, the
Public Works Director will begin the selection process by seeking Board authorization
to advertise for Statements of Qualification from architectural firms, in accordance
with established selection procedures.
