Operations into a new standalone facility at the Fox Street Campus and changes to the existing 111 W. Fox St.
facility once these departments are relocated. Work will involve meetings with stakeholders, committees and the
County Board to assess the needs of all departments at this site. Final recommendations expected are the needs
of each department, recommendations specifically for the County Clerk/Recorder and Voter departments as well
as recommendations of changes needed to the existing 111 W. Fox St. facility. This includes a master plan for
this campus & recommendations for siting a new facility if recommended, estimated cost and timeline for the
new facility and for the reconfiguration of the 111 W. Fox St. facility once operations are moved to a new
facility.
The project team will include staff from Kendall County Facilities Management (KCFM), Technology Services
(KCTS), County Administration and Facilities Committee Chair.
Project Two
Needs assessment of the Public Safety Center, Facilities Management, Coroner and Emergency
Operations Center.
The Public Safety Center was built in 1992. This facility currently houses the Sheriff’s Office, County Jail,
KenCom 911 Center and Kendall County Emergency Operations department.
Currently the Sheriff’s Administrative offices has no room to house individual offices for all management staff
and other offices associated with Sheriff’s operations. The office is also lacking dedicated training space for in
house staff, management and field

Facilities Operations are also spread out to the Courthouse and each site at both campuses.
Facilities Management desires to have a facility to house management offices, equipment & vehicle storage and
central supplies.
The Coroner’s office houses management offices, morgue and garage.
All questions pertaining to this RFQ should be directed to Facilities Management Director James K. Smiley, at
