• <br /> 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 /> • <br />
