7 SUMMARY OF MARCH 8 UPDATE Final concept phase estimates for all six options where higher than preliminary estimates Staff intended to recommend the Integrated option due to its overwhelming committee and community support Staff determined that the following are not feasible due to BLPC/PFRC feedback and/or cost estimates: Integrated - $5-6 million over funding available Standalone - $5-6 million over funding available, unpopular North unpopular, major costs for utility relocations East unpopular, poor arrangement for administration/teaching Seeking feedback on the Bridge and Upper Lower options since each is estimated at the maximum funding available BLPC + PFRC 7

8 BLPC + PFRC 8 CONCEPT PHASE COST ESTIMATING

9 PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES Based on feedback from the Architect s professional cost estimator using primarily hand sketches and narrative descriptions Produced concurrently with ongoing BLPC/PFRC meetings where design iterations change on a frequent basis Developed and shared with BLPC/PFRC to assist in meeting the minimum, mid-range, maximum cost design options requirement in the BLPC charge BLPC + PFRC 9

10 11/29 01/24 LOW HIGH North B high $48.5 $50.5 East low $50.5 $44.0 Bridge (South B) mid $47.5 $49.5 Standalone $50.0 $53.0 Integrated $48.0 $50.0 Upper Lower $46.0 $48.0 BLPC + PFRC 10 Summary of Cost Estimates

11 FINAL CONCEPT PHASE ESTIMATES To ensure that the School Board s action is based on the most complete and upto-date information, final estimates are prepared at the end of each project phase. Process for developing the final estimates: Architect s professional cost estimator (A/E) and Construction Manager at- Risk (CMR) complete independent estimates Team discussions as needed during draft estimates to clarify design A/E and CMR meet to review draft estimates and reconcile scope A/E and CMR provide revised estimates incorporating reconciliation efforts Estimates influenced by both historic cost databases and current market conditions. Input from subcontractors confirms that the DC market remains very busy and that material costs for some trades continue to experience above average increases. BLPC + PFRC 11

14 CAN COSTS FOR INTEGRATED OPTION BE REDUCED? A/E and CMR reviewed Integrated option to see if costs could be reduced $55.9 to $56.5 million final A/E and CMR concept estimate range for 4-story version $55.1 million CMR estimate to reduce 4-story version square footage comparable to other options $54.5 million CMR estimate for the 3-story version To get the Integrated option close to the maximum funding available major square footage and student capacity reductions are required; for example, 500 seat capacity instead of 725 BLPC + PFRC 14

18 EXISTING BLPC + PFRC 18 Existing Site Plan

19 BRIDGE SCHEME Pros Retains existing investment in building and expands vertically one floor Smallest footprint is primary design driver No major utility relocation Buildings of similar scale 2 grades with easy access to corner park for play amenities Cons Bridges over utilities & small bridge may be transition choke point Complicated renovation Very spread out & less than ideal instructionally Missing extending learning and teacher work spaces w/ grades K-3 Highest transition time, including having to go outside Cafeteria probably undersized Currently slightly over budget BLPC + PFRC 19 Bridge Scheme, site plan

26 EXISTING BLPC + PFRC 26 Existing Site Plan

27 UPPER LOWER SCHEME Pros Lowest cost option Keeps existing asset with low renovation costs Lowest transition time with smaller upper and lower school communities Operated as one school with one admin No major utility relocation Existing second floor swing space = built in expansion v/s trailers 4 grades with easy access to corner park for play amenities Cons Larger footprint that pushes further into site 15 more parking spots may be required by Zoning Cafeteria probably oversized Some tree loss BLPC + PFRC 27 Upper/Lower Scheme, site plan
