- Increased early communication with OMB regarding project parameters and cost estimates
- Working with tenant representatives to cast a wider net when searching for suitable properties
- Reaching out to landlords who might not have done business with the city before
- Conducting searches in neighborhoods where the city has historically not had a strong presence

This is in part being done by increasing communication with OMB early on with regard to project parameters and providing high level estimates of the project projected cost and projects so that decisions can be made at the onset of the project rather than after significant time and resources have been spent on projects that have to be reworked.

In addition, we are working with our tenant representatives and other internal city partners to cast a wider net when calming the market for suitable properties for our needs by reaching out to landlords who might not have done business with the city and conducting searches for space and neighborhoods where the city has historically not had a strong presence.

We hope these adjustments to our internal processes help to facilitate client agency operations by providing them the space they need to serve the public within a more reasonable timeline while also reducing the city's expenses through a more strategic use of internal resources.
