The intended outcome of pre-design will include 2-3 alternative development scenarios, pre-design architectural and engineering drawings, narratives, renderings, and construction estimates in sufficient detail to communicate a design strategy. The design scenarios will be presented at a public meeting.
The Fairchild Building is not large enough to accommodate both a day shelter for the homeless and a homeless shelter and/or public restroom. In addition, for Dane County to provide capital funds for the day shelter project, Dane County must own the property. Finally, with the possible future development at the current men’s shelter, this study allows the City to better understand the challenges and cost of having a homeless shelter at the Fairchild Building.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Clerk are herby authorized to execute a contract between the City of Madison and Engberg Anderson Architects, in a form to be approved by the City Attorney, to provide professional architectural and engineering design services as described above.
