The committee provides recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners on pending and upcoming County building and facility projects, as requested by the Board.

The committee provides recommendations in the following areas: development options and alternative solutions, conceptual proposals, project scope, cost estimates and cost, contracting methodology, and value engineering. The committee may also be asked to provide feedback and recommendations on whether to build, remodel, buy or lease a facility.

Projects will be limited to those that being considered or planned by the County. Projects will not include private development or projects from other governmental entities.
