RECOMMEND ADOPTION OF THIRD
SUBSTITUTE AND RE-REFERRAL TO COMMITTEES 4-0 (Council President Davis
voting) |
Sam Mousa made a presentation
to the committee on behalf of the administration regarding the revised program
for construction of the county courthouse complex. Mr. Mousa outlined his 32 years of experience
in administering major construction projects in the public and private sector
and explained that he is currently under contract to the City to review and
oversee costs and plans for a multi-building civil, criminal and family law
courthouse and office space for the State Attorney and Public Defender. He stated that the existing courthouse is
over 50 years old and is worn out and beyond economical repair. A functional courthouse is required to be
built both by state law which mandates the county to adequately house the court
system and by voter mandate with the approval of the Better Jacksonville Plan
(BJP).
In his opinion, now is a good
time to be undertaking a major construction project as the national economic
slowdown has contractors desperate for work and ready to bid very favorably to
generate cash flow and keep their employees working. Mr. Mousa believes that with a sharp eye for
savings and a concerted effort at value engineering, the current $395.3 million
project represented by Substitute #2 to 2007-401 approved in January 2008 can
be reduced to approximately $350 million as proposed in Substitute #3. He cannot guarantee that figure, but believes
that it is a reasonably achievable goal.
He stressed that the “real” price of the project will never be known
with any degree of certainty until the Council approves a plan and authorizes
the administration to have detailed plans drawn and bid. Only then will a firm price be known for the
full project, from which the administration can then begin value engineering
process.
[Council Member Lee arrived]
Mr. Mousa stated that the project’s
program managers will need the authority and flexibility to run the project and
to make the value engineering decisions that will bring the project in on
budget. In response to a question about
the operating costs of the new facilities, Mr. Mousa stated that operating
costs have not yet been estimated, but the buildings will be designed to
minimize those costs. He also pointed
out that remaining in the existing courthouse is operationally expensive
because of its outdated design and declining physical condition. In response to another question he stated
that the new buildings will be designed with a 60-70 year expected
lifespan. He believes that if Council
approves a plan in the next few weeks, 60% design plans could be prepared by
the end of this year, ground could be broken in early 2009 and the courthouse
could open sometime in 2011. He stated
that in his professional opinion the
President Davis stated that
he had originally been opposed to both recent proposed substitutes to the bill
but has become convinced, after extensive discussions with the administration
over the course of the last week, that the reality of the situation demands
that a full courthouse complex be constructed now rather than later. Construction will only become more expensive
the longer a decision is delayed.
Chairman Shad urged the administration to more clearly explain to the
public at large how the proposed $350 million third substitute differs from the
original $190 million BJP plan. Explain
the three-building campus (new civil/criminal/family courthouse building, renovated
former federal building for the State Attorney’s Office, and offices for the
Public Defender in the Ed Ball Building) and how that differs from what the BJP
$190 million plan envisioned. Council
Member Lee requested the development of chart showing the various iterations of
the courthouse project over the years showing clearly how it evolved from $190
million for one new building to $395 million for one new building and two
renovations, and how that cost can be reduced to $350 million as proposed, so that
the public can understand the progression from one concept to the next.
Mr. Shad noted that the
substituted ordinance will have its public hearing at the April 8 Council
meeting.

Assistant
General Counsel Jason Teal explained that the City and the Health Department
have developed this proposal as a means of regulating the conditions at
temporary mobile home parks without having to subject the temporary parks to
the regulations applicable to full-time, permanent RV parks. The ordinance will require the operators of
temporary RV parks (such as the RV City the City operates in conjunction with
the Florida/Georgia and Gator Bowl games) to obtain a permit from the Health
Department for 1-14 or 15-30 days of operation per year, and to submit a site
plan and make adequate provision for sanitation, garbage pickup, emergency
vehicle access, fire safety, etc. RECOMMEND APPROVAL 4-0 |
