2 <br />Proposed Cost Efficient facilities Initiatives (CEFI) <br />for County <br />and <br />School Capital Projects <br />December 7,1999 <br />A work group involving two County Commissioners, the County Manager and several <br />County staff members met several times over the past month in an effort to identify. cost <br />efficiency initiatives in the development of County and School facilities. The ensuing <br />report in meant to reflect the essence of these discussions as well as to provide a point <br />of departure for dialogue among. the Board of Commissioners and School Board <br />members. <br />Why Initiate Cost Efficient Facilities Initiatives (CEFI) Now? <br />According to the Orange County Planning Director, projections of school construction needs indicate that <br />approximately 19 schools will be required to meet the student population needs over the next 30 years. <br />Based on construction estimates from the school construction standards ,the present value dollars <br />needed to support construction for these educational facilities is estimated to be $339,463,685. <br />The following table reflecting the projection of school needs is based on the assumption that growth will <br />continue at a constant enrollment increase each year (i.e. Orange County School District at 150 new <br />students per year and Chapel Hill/Carrboro at 300 new students per year. As further development of the <br />School Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (SAPFO) continues, a further analysis of existing capacity <br />as well as proposed capacity will be conducted.) <br />Orange County System Chapel/Hill Carrboro System <br />• Elementary: • Elementary <br />4x$12,785,485=$51,141,940 7 x $12,785,485=$89,498,395 <br />• Middle: • Middle: <br />2 x 18,504,670=$37,009,340 3 x 18,504,670= $55,514,010 <br />• High School- High School: <br /> • 1000 student capacity: <br />• 1500 student capacity: 1 x $24,700,000 = $24,700,000 <br />1 x $40,800,000= $40,800,000 <br /> • 1500 student capacity: <br /> 1 x $40,800,000= $40,800,000 <br />
