HARDGRAVE, Director of Public Works/ City Engineer SUBJECT: Luncheon Workshop on 10-05-92 -- Renovation of Savings & Loan Buildings for Use as a Police Station DATE: October 1, 1992 COPIES: Shauna Clark; Tim Steinhaus; Tom Maier; File No. 6,51-8; Reading File --------------------------------------------------------------- The approximate 5,75 acre site, at "E" Street and 7th Street, was acquired for a purchase price of about $3.5 Million. This site is ideally located for a Police Station, and has good access to three adjoining streets. The Police Department is well pleased with this site, and feels that it is an ideal location. Two buildings are on this site. One is a four-story building, at the northeast corner of "E" Street and 7th Street, commonly referred to as Building "A," and the other is a two-story structure to the north, commonly referred to as Building "B," This site is fully developed with parking and landscape im- provements. The site is served with all utilities. It is estimated that the value of the site and utility improvements is between $500,000 to $750,000. Adequate surface parking can be provided on the site. This fact avoids the necessity to construct a parking structure, at a cost of up to $10,000 per space. The cost of constructing a new building is at least $1,000,000 more than the cost of renovating the two existing buildings. Deducting the value of the site and utility improvements, and buildings, leaves a net cost of about $2,000,000 for this site. This equates to a little over $8.00 per square foot for the land only, which is very attractive in comparison with current pricing levels. An analysis of the two buildings has been conducted by the Structural Engineer, This analysis indicates that Building "A" will need more retrofitting for seismic forces than first thought. The cost for retrofitting Building "A" is about $1,000.000. However, Building "B" was found to be in better condi tion than the first estimate, and ~lill cost only about $300,000. #;;/; o ,:) MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL Savings & Loan Renovation October 1, 1992 Page - 2 - A preliminary estimate of cost for renovating these buildings has been prepared by the Architect. This estimate is in the amount of $6,187,817, and is referred to as Alternate No. l. This alternate includes additions to Building "A" as needed to meet 1992 program space needs. The separation of the two buildings will pose some operational problems for the Police Department. Assurance has been given by the Police representative that they will do everything possible to make this arrangement work. However, they have estimated that $90,000 in extra costs will conservatively be incurred each year, due to the method of operation mandated by the separation. Alternate No. 2 includes renovating Building "A," and con- structing an addition to Building "A." The addition would be two-story, with an area of 32,344 sq. ft. A total area of 67,877 sq. ft. would be provided, which will meet 1992 program space needs. The addition could be designed to accommodate a third story for expansion at some future date, whenever needed and when adequate funds were available. The preliminary esti- mated cost of Alternate No.2 is $6,990,387. Under Alternate No.3, Building "A" would be renovated, and a three-story addition constructed. A total area of 77,892 sq. ft. would be provided, which will accommodate some future growth. The preliminary estimate of cost for this alternate is $8,277,142. Constructing the three-story addition at this time will eliminate the disruption to police operations in the future when the top level is constructed, and allow the project to take advantage of current favorable bid prices, At their meeting of 9-30-92, the Design Development Team unani- mously recommended Alternate No.3. A previous space needs study for a new police station determined that a facility to meet all identified criteria would cost up to $27,000,000. The cost for acquisition of the site at "E" Street and 7th Street, and renovation/construction costs at a little over $10,000,000, compares very favorably with the previous study. The Agreement for Profes~~~~~l Services with Leach Mounce Architects was negotiated for a project with an anticipated cost of about $3,000,000, Compensation for architectural services was not to exceed $219,000. Since the construction cost for this project will apparently be more than for the amount upon which the Agreement was negotiated, an adjustment will be needed in the compensation for architectural services. . o MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL Savings & Loan Renovation October 1, 1992 Page - 3 - ,""" -' The foregoing furnishings and to these items. estimates equipment. do not include any costs for Consideration should also be given The Architect will be present at the workshop meeting to make a more detailed presentation and to answer questions.
