BACKGROUND

The project's anticipated timeline [after the Arch. prepares the specifications and plans for the procurement packet that will be distributed to JOCs for submission of proposals, and will be a renovation calendar of 60-90 days.  The goal is to occupy both buildings months before the 12-30-20 deadline.  However, legal counsel has informed us that with the latest GUIDELINES & FAQs issued 06-20-20] on the CARES Act Relief Funds, that deadline is now redefined.  Nevertheless, due to the urgency of continuing EOC & Call Center responsibilities surrounding COVID-19 public health related functions and services, the main goal is to occupy these structures to relieve the overcrowded conditions at the present location of the HC Health Dept. Building
