Mr. Brinkley said the three options that they were charged to look at were the Old Post Office Building being vacated, they were to look at the current facility, and a new site. Mr. Brinkley advised that of the three the building of a new facility on a new site or on the existing site would be more cost effective and less limited on layout of the floor plans. He said that the required building area would be 39,430 square feet for each site. The estimated cost for the renovation of the post office is $9,081,000.00 verses the estimated cost of renovation and additions to the existing facility is $8,805,000.00, and the cost for a new site would be estimated at $8,569,000.00. Mr. Brinkley showed a visual overview of each option and discussed each one with the City Council. Mr. Brinkley said that design wise, it would take approximately nine months to actually be ready to bid a project and the construction of a project of this size would take approximately twelve to fourteen months to complete.
