Costs Design, engineering, and construction management cow would increase: those cow are currently budgeted at about $1.1 million and are estimated to increase 50 - 75% to approx. $ to $1.9 million Hard construction casts would also increase due to an increase in office/ meeting space of approx. 20,000 square feet; this additional finished space world cost approx. $2 million more than the current hard construction cost for the total Project which is currently estimated to be $7 million. (If some of the 20,000 additional sq. ft. are simply shelled out, then the impact is reduced.) Much of the increase in design, engineering, and construction costs would have to be funded from Reserves since voter - approved bonds are only authorized to be spent on the Police and PW facilities, not on the License Center or general city offices. Redesign would have an uncertain impact on construction bids: the current bidding environment provides favorable bid prices; bid prices 3 -5 most later than currently scheduled this year might be better or might be worse. (Note, boo, current goal is to enclose the structure by winter; pursuing the alterative design almost certainly means the structure cannot be enclosed this winter.) Additional costs associated with additional site work -- including more excavation and more retaining walls -- are not exact, but are approx. $100,Q00 more than currently budgeted Less underground parkins at City Hall Benefits Police work space would expand from the proposed 20,000 square feet to 27,500 square feet Non - Police city office or meeting space would expand by 20,000 square feet Prisoners would be released from the lower level Most non - Police city functions would be on the upper level of city hall The Police sally ports and garage doers would be screened Some reduction in the $1.15 million the Council authorized for renovating the existing City Hall IF most of the PD's current 7,500 square feet on the lower level of City Half is left as is. (Note, however, almost certainly the existing Police space would have to be remodeled to some extent even under the alternative design proposal under which the PD remains downstairs; remodeling costs are probably in the vicinity of $25 -$40 sq.ft., or roughly $187,000 to $300,000 —which is in the current Council- authorized amount of $1.15 million.) Opportunity to move the License Center back to City Hall, and/or develop more meeting room space at City Hall. Opportunity for different design for the front of City Hall More functional design overall
