<br />b) Site Development .
<br />Site development should be broken out into two sub-categories:
<br />i) Hard Construction -Site & Vertical Tasks
<br />Costs included in this category cover the "usual" costs of all construction
<br />activities associated with preparing a school site for construction (both
<br />"horizontal" [dirt] and "vertical" [building] construction). Examples of items to
<br />budget in this category include pre-grading and- final grading of the site to
<br />include playing fields and playgrounds, installation of storm water run-off
<br />drainage, testing for soil suitability (rock), extension and/or installation of
<br />utilities, building structure and systems (includes General Contractor and all
<br />Sub-Contractors; satisfying municipal requirements such as storm water run-
<br />off drainage; and landscaping to include, when feasible, xeriscaping.

<br />$25,000 per acre for elementary and
<br />middle school sites and $30,OOD for
<br />high school sites.
