Q) The County’s website still lists Construction and Facilities as separate divisions within the Department of Finance and Administrative Services. Is Facilities and Construction Services a new department or is it still a division?

Q) Is the FAS assessment available for review prior to submission of our proposal?  A) The FAS assessment is not finalized and is not expected to be finalized prior to the submission date.  In the event it is finalized prior thereto, it would be available.
Q) Is the intent for Phase 1 to be a high-level review to identify topics for additional study? Several of the topics listed under Phase 2 in the Scope of Work are items we would normally do in a Phase 1.   A) Phase 1 is intended to be a thorough review of the Department, its organizational structure and operations with proposed areas for focus.  Phase 2 is intended to focus on a select number of areas and recommendations for further analysis and implementation.
Q) Is there a budget for Phase 1 and/or an overall budget for Phases 1 and 2?  A) There is no set budget for the Phases as the County would like the proposer to provide a price proposal that meets the scope of work while utilizing the expertise of the firm.  Funding for the assessment would be through the County’s GOE account.
