Introduction and Background
The City of Norman, Oklahoma (the “City”) is soliciting proposals from qualified firms
(“Consultants”) to conduct a comprehensive Facility Condition Assessment and Space
Needs Analysis for the Norman Police Department (NPD). The purpose of this project is
to evaluate the current condition, capacity, and suitability of NPD headquarters and to
develop data-driven recommendations that will guide long-term planning, operational
efficiency, and future facility investments to support a modern, community-oriented
police service over a 20-year planning horizon.
The NPD operates from multiple facilities of varying ages, sizes, and functional layouts.
As the City continues to grow and public safety demands evolve, it is essential to assess
the adequacy of current facilities and determine future space and operational needs. The
City seeks an objective, professional evaluation to inform strategic planning, budgeting,
and potential facility improvements or replacements.
1. Project Goals and Objectives
A. Facility Condition Assessment (FCA)
i. Establish a baseline of building systems’ physical condition, remaining
useful life, immediate and deferred maintenance needs, code and ADA
compliance and risk factors.
ii. Develop a Facility Condition Index (FCI) per facility and prioritized
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) with cost estimates over 20 years.
B. Space Needs Analysis
i. Assess current space utilization, functional adjacencies, security zoning,
operational workflows, and public interface.
ii. Forecast staffing and programmatic needs, develop a functional program
and produce a total building area recommendation.
iii. Prepare options for multiple scenarios – renovate, expand, replace,
consolidate, or new facility(ies) on new/alternate sites.
C. Strategic Options and Implementation Roadmap
i. Compare options using cost, schedule, operational impact, and phasing.
ii. Provide test fits diagrams, high-level site planning, parking estimates
(fleet and staff), and a recommended path forward with phasing and
funding recommendations.
2. Scope of Work
A. Facility Condition Assessment (FCA)
The FCA shall follow a recognized industry framework (e.g. ASTM E2018 –
Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments or equivalent), adapted for
RFP-2526-40
public safety facilities. The Consultant shall provide a detailed assessment of
NPD Police Headquarters, located at 112 W. Daws Street.
The FCA should include, at a minimum:
i. Document Review: Existing plans, specifications, past FCA’s,
maintenance logs, warranty information, capital plans, energy/utility data,
prior code/ADA audits, IT/network layouts, and security systems
documentation.
ii. Field Surveys: Visual, non-destructive assessments of building envelope,
structure, roofing, MEP (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection),
vertical transportation (where applicable), site/civil, security systems,
IT/communications, parking, lighting, circulation, drainage, and specialty
public safety systems.
iii. Compliance Review: Basic building code, ADA accessibility, life-safety,
fire code, and security zoning observations
iv. Deficiency Inventory: Categorize issues by severity/priority (life-safety,
critical, short-term, mid-term, long-term) with corrective action and order-
of-magnitude costs.
v. Lifecycle and Capital Planning: Remaining useful life, replacement
schedules, energy/sustainability opportunities and 20-year capital plan.
vi. Facility Condition Index: Calculate per facility; provide summary
dashboards and detailed backup.
Deliverables:
i. FCA Report per facility with narrative, photo log, deficiency tables, cost
summaries
ii. Consolidated Facility Condition Index metrics; prioritized CIP with
phasing.
iii. GIS or tabular friendly datasets (Excel/CSV) of deficiencies and costs
iv. Meeting presentations and an executive summary suitable for Council
briefings.
B. Space Needs Analysis (SNA)
The SNA should include, at a minimum:
i. Stakeholder Engagement: Structured interviews/workshops with
leadership and divisions (patrol, investigations, property/evidence,
training, dispatch, IT, community engagement)
ii. Demand Drivers: Review service levels, call volumes, response metrics,
population growth, development trends, specialty units (SWAT, K9,
PACE), accreditation requirements, and technology trends
RFP-2526-40
iii. Operational Analysis: Workflows, circulation, security zones
(public/semipublic/secure), chain-of-custody spaces, gender-inclusive
provisions, wellness and fitness, locker rooms, report writing, briefing
rooms, training, armory, range, interview rooms, etc.
iv. Space Program: Current vs. future staffing projections (20-year horizon);
specialty rooms and storage; parking (fleet, staff, visitors) with counts and
assumptions.
v. Options and Test Fits: Conceptual test fits, site planning considerations,
potential multi-phase renovation/expansion strategies, potential
consolidation or co-location with other City functions.
vi. Cost and Schedule Ranges: Planning level order-of-magnitude cost ranges
by option and schedules.
Deliverables:
i. Current space utilization analysis
ii. Gap analysis between existing and required space
iii. Conceptual space programming
iv. Recommendations for renovation, expansion, consolidation, or new
construction
v. High-level conceptual layouts or diagrams
