■ Jail Use: Includes expanded rehabilitative services including transitional community reentry treatment programs. ■ General Community Space Use: Includes offices I staff work stations, public lobby I restrooms, staff lounge and other ancillary spaces • Other Institutional Use: Includes homeless shelter housing and supportive services space. • Commercial Option Use: Includes development of data center with support space for specialized automated equipment and related required staff offices and other dedicated space. The follow-up analysis and evaluation work directed to the five of the reuse options focused on the following areas: ■ Detailed Description of Jail Reuse Options: A written comprehensive narrative description was developed for each draft jail reuse option the consultants identified and analyzed during the scope of the project work. Each description included graphic layouts highlighting the design plans and concepts incorporated into the reuse option. ■ Facility Building / Systems Modifications: The analysis was also directed at clearly understanding facility impacts and identified modifications to key building elements I systems required to implement each Jail reuse option. Functional Use Area Space Impacts: Major functional use floor space changes and other significant considerations which would be effected through the implementation of each Jail reuse option were also identified and analyzed by the consultant team. The assessment of the building's floor space modifications focused on factors covering (a) participants I occupants, (b) functional activities, (c) space requirements, (d) special requirements, (e) planning considerations I adjacencies, and (f) furniture equipment. ■ Fiscal Analysis: A fiscal analysis was also prepared which included information showing the overall fiscal impact the City would likely incur if the jail reuse option was pursued and ultimately implemented. The analysis included a summary conceptual cost statement for each jail reuse option. The information covered factors that included (a) estimated range of building design changes, (b) escalated construction costs, and (c) other project -related expenses. • Maior Implementation Observations: As part of the assessment evaluation process, the consultant team also utilized an SWOT analysis strategic planning technique to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and negative impacts associated with each jail reuse option. The SWOT analysis is intended to take the objectives of each reuse option or project and identify the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for achieving individual project objectives. • Consultant Recommendations: Based on the results of the SWOT analysis process, the consultant team developed a summary ranking from best to worst for the proposed five jail reuse options which were examined in this Study. Analysis of this information and related fiscal impact data was used to form the recommendations the consultant team prepared and presented to the City Council. 65A-43
