<br /> CHCCS School Impact Fee Report(DRAFT)
<br /> SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION
<br /> TischlerBise analyzed costs for school construction in the CHCCS system.Costs for completed and planned
<br /> school projects in CHCCS were provided by the Orange County Finance Office and CHCCS. TischlerBise
<br /> adjusted previous costs to current(2016 01) dollars, where appropriate, using the Turner Building Index,
<br /> a well-known and widely available construction price index. Current school costs represent the average
<br /> costs to construct elementary, middle, and high schools in the CHCCS System. As shown in Figure 9,
<br /> construction costs average between$252 and$288 per square foot.Specifically,the costs are as follows—
<br /> elementary: $277 per square foot; middle: $287 per square foot; and high: $252 per square foot.

<br /> [1]Adjusted using the Turner Building Cost Index,2016 First Quarter Forecast.
<br /> [2]Derived as a percentage of the OCS cost per sq.ft.for middle schools.TischlerBise defined a)the relationship between CHCCS and OCS of the average cost per sq.ft.for all recent school projects and
<br /> b)the relationship between OCS's middle school and its elementary and high schools.These two percentages are then multiplied by OCS's cost per sq.ft.for middle schools to derive the average CHCCS cost.
<br /> [3]Includes Cultural Arts addition in 2011.Cost indexed using 2007 figures.
<br /> PORTABLE CLASSROOM COSTS
<br /> CHCCS currently uses portable classrooms for additional classroom capacity with a total of 73 classrooms
<br /> currently in use.The cost for each portable classroom is$78,000, per Orange County staff.
<br /> SUPPORT FACILITIES
<br /> The impact fees also include costs to provide additional support facilities such as administrative office
<br /> space, maintenance facilities, and bus garages to accommodate future growth in enrollment. For CHCCS,
<br /> support facilities include office space and gymnasium at Lincoln Center, a maintenance building, and the
<br /> Transportation Center.The joint use Transportation Facility serves both school systems in the county and,
<br /> therefore, costs are allocated to current enrollment in both districts (see Appendix A). Costs were
<br /> confirmed with CHCCS staff. The following two figures reflect current LOS and cost factors for these
<br /> facilities.
