4 <br /> B. Southern Human Services Center <br /> The architect has been working with the proposed resident departments <br /> of the Southern Human Services Center for several months. It became <br /> apparent in these meetings that space requests were likely to exceed <br /> the amount that could be built within the existing budget. Although <br /> the departmental requests still exceed the original programming <br /> estimate of 30, 000 square feet, it appears that program space can be <br /> pared to this level without sacrificing essential programs. <br /> A summary of the space allocations for this facility are shown at <br /> Attachment 2 . <br /> The charts below depict the cost break-down and additional funding <br /> necessary if the corresponding square footage is built. All of this is <br /> based on the educated speculation from the architect that the building <br /> can be constructed for $65/square foot, which within the current budget <br /> would construct a 23, 100 square foot building. <br /> A breakdown of estimates for projected expenses of the project are as follows: <br /> Land $ 962,500 <br /> Design fees 356,320 <br /> Reimbursables associated with design fee 20,000 <br /> Site Work (access road, parking lot <br /> development, etc.) 400,000 <br /> OWASA Impact fees 50,000 <br /> Misc. Owner responsibilities <br /> Includes survey, geo-technical work, <br /> unsuitable soils allowance, etc.) 40,000 <br /> Sub Total of expenses without construction of building costs $1,828,820 <br /> Amount available for projects $3,382,500 <br /> Amount available for construction of building $1,553,680 <br />
