Commission approves contract for design of new Family Services headquarters
The Clark County Department of Family Services on Tuesday received the green light to begin working with a firm on the design of its $33 million new home at the Clark County Government Center campus in downtown Las Vegas.
Clark County commissioners approved a contract with Carpenter Sellers Del Gatto Architects to provide services for pre-design, site analysis and conceptual design for the new facility and parking garage.
The contract is not to exceed $440,568.
There was no discussion on the agenda item.
Family Services, which employees about 800 employees, is spread among eight sites throughout the community. The new building would consolidate services in one place.
Child Haven, a temporary emergency shelter for abused and neglected children, will continue to operate at its current location.
The new facility could be a 100,000- to 150,000-square-foot multistory building. The project includes a multistory parking garage with 450 to 600 parking spaces.
Details on the project, including the cost, could change because it’s in the early planning.
