Orange County Sportsplex Major Capital Investment Opportunities <br />2014 -15 Update & Executive Summary <br />• The Sportsplex continues to experience strong growth. Fbvenue for 2014 -15 is projected at approximately <br />$3miIlion which represents $395,000 growth over the 2012 -13 revenue base. <br />• For the year to date January 2014 fitness membership revenue is $58,000 (14 %) higher the same period last <br />year. At 4,850 total memberswe are already ahead of the projection used to validate the growth assumptions as <br />presented in the original proposal to add a Fitness mezzanine in the pool area. <br />• Bottom line financial results to January of $323,000 are $90,000 ahead of the same period last year and $65,000 <br />ahead of Budget. <br />Ire .61 <br />• The first phase of the overall Sportsplex major expansion Project is fully scoped and ready forbid. Estimated <br />completion is July 1, 2014. <br />FY14 -15 Pool Mezzanine/ FY15 -16 Turf Addition/ FY16 -17 Court Addition (Current CIP) <br />• While the project phases could still proceed as per the timeline above, given that the Lobby project will not be <br />completed until July 2014 and given the recent land acquisition next to the goortsplex, an alternative plan has <br />been formulated for consideration. <br />• In order to minimize member and customer disruption and to achieve maximum project cost efficiencies from <br />less construction startup /shut down, an alternate plan would be to combine the Mezzanine /Turf /Court projects <br />into one continuous project startingwith the Fool Mezzanine in 2014 -15 alongwith afull engineering and <br />architectural study to determine the most efficient site placement and design for the Turf /Court building <br />addition utilizing the 3 acres acquired. The Turf and Court projectswould be combined and started in 2015 -16 <br />immediately after the Pool Mezzanine is completed. <br />• Thiswill likely also result in overall project cost savings since the contractor will be continuously onsite without <br />costly project shutdowns and startups. <br />• FY14/ 15 Pool Mezzanine ($950,000): Consulting engineers determined that the pool mezzanine addition <br />proposed in last year'saPwasstructurally practical and efficient. The pool mezzanine is therefore proposed to <br />proceed as planned and budgeted ($ 950,000) providing 5,400 additional sq. ft. This additional space will be <br />used for member change areas (2,700 sq. ft.) that are essential for a fitness dub projected to grow to 6,700 <br />members from its current base of 4,000. Additionally, it will provide a dedicated Spin, Fbw, Krank and Massage <br />room (900 sq. ft.) plus 1,800 sq. ft. dedicated to adult and senior cardio equipment. The total cost of $950,000 is <br />inclusive of all equipment. <br />• FY15/ 16 Turf Addition ($1,900,000): The consulting engineers further determined that the previously <br />contemplated expansion of the Ice rink mezzanine was not structurally possible. We had proposed $1,000,000 <br />for that project in the prior year CIP. However there isa more compelling option from both a use and revenue <br />generating perspective. Indoor turf can be used for abroad range of member programs plus year round <br />walking, running, indoor soccer, lacrosse, flag football leagues for youth and adults. Programs proprietary to RFP <br />at its other locations can be brought to Orange County, including the full range of early childhood based Lil <br />Kckers, Lil 9uggers and Lil Cheer programs. Kdsplex after school, pre - school and summer camps would see <br />significant benefit from the turf addition. <br />-* <br />
