The tower was built for $150 per square foot, which is also <br />used in the impact fee calculations. <br />Law Enforcement <br />Law enforcement buildings tend to include a wide range of buildings, such as office <br />buildings, crime scene buildings, maintenance sheds, etc. In addition, law enforcement <br />facilities tend to include both prime buildings and support buildings, which tend to vary <br />significantly in terms of building cost. Given this, it is difficult to have a comparable cost <br />database from other jurisdictions since the combination of these different types of buildings <br />vary from one jurisdiction to another. Therefore, the estimates used in the impact fee <br />calculations relied primarily on local data. <br />As presented in Table F-3, the County recently completed the conversion of a warehouse to <br />a Crime Scene Investigation Center, at a cost of almost $200 per square foot. In addition, <br />the estimates obtained from the Sheriff's Master Plan for a future Sheriff's Office Building <br />and a new Crime Scene Unit Facility range from $250 to $300 per square foot. The <br />insurance values of existing buildings average $165 per square foot and the value of support <br />facilities is $65 per square foot. Finally, the available data from other Florida jurisdictions <br />suggests a range of $175 to $270 per square foot for law enforcement facilities. <br />Tindale -Oliver & Associates, Inc.
