2 <br /> The first option is to proceed with the addition of the Skills Development space. The table below <br /> summarizes the proposed project budget and how it compares with funds currently planned in <br /> the County's Capital Investment Plan. <br /> 203 South Greensboro Project Budget with Skills Development <br /> Approved Capital Investment Proposed <br /> Plan Budget Difference <br /> Professional Fees-56%/44% $ 1,172,500 $ 1,987,493 $ 814,993 <br /> Library Construction @ 15,000 sq.ft. $ 4,625,000 $ 4,725,000 $ 100,000 <br /> Skills Development Construction @ 12,600 sq.ft. $ - $ 3,969,000 $ 3,969,000 <br /> Parking Construction-83 spaces $ 1,000,000 $ 2,075,000 $ 1,075,000 <br /> Common Area Construction-56%/44% $ - $ 1,008,000 $ 1,008,000 <br /> Furniture,Fixtures, Equipment $ $ 1,250,000 $ 1,250,000 <br /> Owners Contingency-5%Construction Costs $ - $ 588,850 $ 588,850 <br /> TOTAL $ 6,797,500 $ 15,603,343 $ 8,805,843 <br /> The escalation of approximately $8.8 million in project costs is primarily attributable to four <br /> factors. First, additional professional fees will be incurred as the plans are modified to remove <br /> and repurpose space that had been allocated to the Arts Center. Second, the addition of the <br /> Skills Development space would add approximately $3.9 million in construction costs and <br /> approximately $1 million to add 33 parking spaces. The majority of this cost ($3.75 million) will <br /> be repaid through the lease or sale of 501 and 503 West Franklin. Third, the original project <br /> budget was created in the FY2011-16 Capital Investment Plan and did not contemplate a <br /> shared facility with common areas or an adequate budget for furniture, fixtures, and equipment. <br /> Finally, the owner's contingency is dependent on the project delivery method which was not <br /> known when the project was originally included in the Capital Investment Plan. In this case, the <br /> owner's contingency is based on using a Construction Manager at Risk method to deliver the <br /> project. Additional details regarding this option are contained in Attachment #1 — Budget <br /> Allocation with Skills Development. <br /> The second option is to proceed only with the Southern Branch Library. Due to many of the <br /> same factors listed above, this option would also involve additional costs as summarized in the <br /> table below. <br /> 203 South Greensboro Project Budget-Library Only <br /> Approved Capital <br /> Investment Plan Proposed Budget Difference <br /> Professional Fees 40.5%/59.5% $ 1,172,500 $ 1,437,383 $ 264,883 <br /> Library Construction @ 15,000 sq.ft. $ 4,625,000 $ 4,725,000 $ 100,000 <br /> Skills Development Construction @ 12,600 sq.ft. $ - $ - <br /> Parking Construction-50 spaces $ 1,000,000 $ 1,250,000 $ 250,000 <br /> Common Area Construction 40.5%/59.5% $ - $ 729,000 $ 729,000 <br /> Furniture,Fixtures, Equipment $ $ 750,000 $ 750,000 <br /> Owners Contingency-5%Construction Costs $ - $ 335,650 $ 335,650 <br /> TOTAL $ 6,797,500 $ 9,227,033 $ 2,429,533 <br />
