DISCUSSION
In accordance with plans for the development and expansion of the Will Rogers Memorial Center,
current operations located at the Harley Avenue Maintenance Complex will be required to relocate
Investigation and analyses of departmental operations is necessary to select new location(s) and
develop criteria for the preliminary site plan and design of replacement facilities The recommendations
and criteria will form the basis for a design contract once the comprehensive facilities plan is accepted
The Equipment Services Department has retained a consultant to evaluate their operations and prepare
an operational plan A significant portion of this study concerns the development of facilities to meet
relocation needs and future plans for the client departments The consultant study has progressed to
the point that it can be used as a base for the Harley Complex Relocation Study
On February 27, 2001, twenty-nine firms were notified of the relocation study and invited to submit
Statements of Interest. A notice was also placed in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram Five firms submitted
Statements of Interest, and Maximus, Inc. was selected as the most qualified firm to conduct the study
because of their wide exposure to the site and customer service needs of municipal field operations
