The estimated cost for the construction of this design was researched by both 20/20 design and <br />Parliament Companies. Basement support space is far less expensive than the first floor structure <br />at $60.00 /sq. ft., with*total cost for 12,000 sq. ft. being $720,000.00. The remaining 37,932 sq. <br />ft. could range between $100.00 and $175.00 /sq. ft., ranging between $4.5 Million and $7.5 <br />Million dollars. In this early stage of design the cost estimates can vary widely, but this range is <br />consistent with other projects recently completed. It is important to recognized that this price tag <br />relates to some non -arts related facility space as well, such as the convention space. <br />Attachment B is the research completed by the Parliament Companies regarding code compliance <br />and costing estimates. Highlighted are sections of the Uniform building Code that would apply to <br />a structure of this sort. American with Disabilities Act requirements should be relatively <br />inexpensive to achieve given that the structure will be new construction. <br />The material presented in this report and drawings will be helpful as plans for the proposed civic <br />center move forward. Major requirements of potential users have been identified, and specific <br />issues addressed. <br />The design addresses itself to the needs of those that participated in the process. An architect <br />planning the greater facility may be forced to balance these needs with others. Having a clear <br />concept of the arts related needs will hopefully increase the ability of the Council and arts users to <br />impact the decision - making process. The Arts Council may wish to actively pursuit coalitions with <br />non -arts related users. The flexibility of this design my appeal to them, as might the synergy with <br />arts groups. It would be reasonable to except to revisit these plans at a later date to align the <br />costs with the resources available and to balance arts/education needs with others. By creating <br />positive working partnerships with athletic and non -arts related programming entities, the needs <br />space needs of arts programmers may be held in higher priority. <br />0 <br />
