Public Health Facilities Master Plan Services

The vendor is required to provide the facilities master plan is to develop a strategic plan that addresses the long-term needs for county public health facilities.
- Facility condition, functional, and needs assessment.
a. Condition assessment: 
• Condition assessment focused on physical building and system deficiencies. 
• Leased facilities are included as part of the project.
b. Functional assessment: 
• Functional assessment focused on how existing leased and owned facilities met functional and operational requirements. 
• This assessment evaluated how a facility meets or enables a department or function in meeting its mission requirements. 
• As part of the evaluation process, the project team will identify industry practices and standards, and in the case of public health specs.
c. Needs assessment: 
• In parallel with the condition and operational and functional assessments, a high-level needs assessment also performed to provide an estimate of future requirements based on projected facility demand.
d. Portfolio of available facilities: 
• Functional and condition assessments integrated to determine those facilities which should be retained, needed repair or renovation, potentially suitable for adaptive reuse, or disposed of.
- Scenario planning and analysis
a. Scenario planning and analysis: 
• Ultimately, these assessments informed scenario planning and analysis, which considered a range of project options to meet county requirements. 
• This analysis needs facilitated through a prioritization methodology and prioritization tool that integrates physical, operational, and other requirements to rank projects by need. 
• A summary discussion of this methodology and associated tool.
- Developing recommendations
a. Recommended course of action:
• A recommended course of action to meet these requirements along with a proposed implementation strategy was developed. 
• This implementation strategy took into account the limitations imposed by the county’s debt affordability cap. 
• The plan will analyze and evaluate the needs over a 20-year horizon, taking into consideration the changes within our community due to population growth, projected service area changes, trends in on-site workforce staffing and impacts related to changing laws and regulations. 
• Develop associated recommendations with preliminary costs and a baseline schedule for implementation planning purposes. 
• Deliverables include a written and graphic facilities master plan.
- Prioritization process
• All facilities in the county’s portfolio of public health services were prioritized in an objective and quantifiable manner to determine those facilities with the greatest need. 
• These facilities may require work ranging from major renovation, expansion, through complete replacement. 
• Facilities with the least need can continue to function with minimal repair or improvement. 
• Utility ‐ a measure for how many people the facility currently serves within the county. 
• 10 points – maximum, 2 points – minimum. 
• County priority – indicates priorities within various facility types in relation to the county’s stated goals and objectives. 10 points – maximum, 2 points – minimum. 
• Space shortfall – indicates how short the facility is on space to carry out its mission. 
• 10 points – maximum, 0 points – minimum. 
• Operational deficiency –indicates inefficient functional space adjacencies and any deficiencies with tools and equipment at a facility. 10 points – maximum, 2 points – minimum. 
• Facility condition index (FCI) – general indicator of a building physical condition. 
• 10 points – maximum, 0 points – minimum.
• Life safety – indicates risks to life safety within a facility. 
• 10 points – maximum, 2 points – minimum. 
• Energy inefficiency – indicates the level of energy inefficiency at a facility. 
• 5 points – maximum, 0 points – minimum.
• Real estate – indicates property ownership. 
• 5 points – maximum, 0 points – minimum. 
• Demographics – indicates population growth at a facility location or in its service area. 
• 5 points – maximum, 0 points – minimum. 
• Fundability – a measure of how likely a facility will receive funds. 
• 5 points – maximum, 0 points – minimum. 
• Based on this scoring model, each facility can have a maximum ranking of 80 points. 
• Higher scores indicate more need either physically and operationally and should warrant initial or earlier consideration. 
• Conversely, lower scores indicate a facility is in better condition and is better supporting daily operations. 
• Seventy‐five percent of the total weight of these criteria is associated with the first six criteria.
