• • • 8. SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS - SPACE NEEDS (CONTINUED FROM MARCH 5, 2002 MH STING) The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 8, 2002: Date: March 8, 2002 To: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners Thru: James E. Chandler, County Administrator From. Thomas W. Frame, General Services Director Subject: Detailed Costs for Space Comparisons BACKGROUND At the March 5th Board meeting, staff was requested to bring back to the board of County Commissioners a more detailed analysis of cost associated with the placement of a modular office for the needs of the Supervisor of Elections In addition, we were tasked to make a similar comparison on the costs associated with the 43rd Avenue proposal. Below is a table that compares the two facilities. The costs associated with each are based on assumptions and are estimates meant to reflect the possible cost of utilizing each facility. The assumptions may vary with each facility but should give a fairly accurate perspective of each cost. Relative to the 43`d Avenue facility, it assumes a cost of "build -out" at $150,000 for an 8,000 square foot facility ($18.75 per square foot). The net cost after an allowance of $37,500 is 1112,500. That `build -out' could vary as low as 515.00 per square foot depending on the actual layout and the type of work that needs to be accomplished. That would provide a range from $112,500 down to $82,500. For the purpose of this comparison the higher amount of $112,500 was selected. The cost of bringing voice and data into the building is higher because of the need to jack and bore under 43rd Ave. and the electronics necessary to fire up the fiber optics from that location It is approximately $11,500 more than at the Administration building A 10% contingency was added to the both proposals. The Modular facility assumes a structure of approximately 9 800 square feet being located on a grassed area in front of the current Administration building. The location would create a need of 33 additional parking spaces and appropriate stoup water attenuation. The improvements and site plan approval process would require the preparation of plans by a registered engineer with submittals to both the City of Vero Beach and the St Johns River Water Management District. The costs of the modular are higher than originally reported but they are reflective of regulatory and connection costs not originally identified. Impact fees for utilities and transportation are major contributors to some of those higher figures. MARCH 12, 2002 -25- n 111 le
