work stations, acoustics materials, and wall finishes. Additionally, some cells would be combined into slightly larger offices and meeting spaces. Inmate housing dayrooms would be converted to larger co-worker, social, and networking areas. Public lobby / restrooms, staff lounges and other ancillary spaces would also be designed and included into the scope of construction. 4. Homeless Shelter With Supportive Services Space The work for this option installs a canopy and staging area in the vehicle sallyport, and converts the existing Jail intake / release area into a day center and reception area for the local homeless populations seeking shelter. This would include seating, personal property storage, kennels, meal service, and meeting space for programs and social service outreach efforts. The layout and function of the housing units will remain relatively the same, however, there will be moderate renovation construction costs associated with removing all soft furnishings and fixtures due to sanitation needs generally associated with this type of use. 5 Commercial Data Center The work for this option is located mainly in the third and fourth floor housing units as they are best suited for the high ceilings and climate controlled environment modifications required for data center functions. The building construction modifications will require (1) extensive HVAC to handle the excessive heat generated by the equipment, (2) raised access floor system, (3) pre -emergent fire sprinkler systems, and (4) power and signal upgrades. An estimated Statement of Probable Costs has been developed and summarized through the analysis for each option. Refinement of these estimates needs to occur throughout the programming and architectural process for each feasibility option. The consultants based the cost on general square footages that were derived through the following means: (1) discussions with staff regarding space needs, (2) hypothetical scenarios, (3) typical spaces found in correctional facilities, and related commercial building uses, (4) past practices, (5) current acceptable functional use areas / spaces utilized in the existing facility, and (6) State minimum correctional facility standards. The consultants also looked at available information for similar recently bid facilities and recognized estimating guides for correctional facility construction and commercial buildings. The resulting estimated Statement of Probable Costs are summarized under each feasibility reuse option and the costs are grouped into two categories covering (1) construction related costs, and (2) project -related costs. The construction related costs reflect costs that are typically submitted by the general contractor at bid time, and the project related costs are those non -general contractor related expenses paid by the owner. The factors that make up the Statement of Probable Costs in each category include the following items: Jail Reuse Feasibility Option Construction -Related Costs ■ Escalation: Since it is unknown when City funds will be available and when the City will be ready to design and bid the project, no escalation is included at this time. However, escalation has been running at.42% a month. Design Contingency: Since there is no design at this time other than a concept, a factor of 20.0% is provided for unknown project requirements based on the complexity of the options. ■ Contractor's Overhead and Profit/ General Conditions / Bonds: A factor of 17.3% for the contractor's overhead, and profit / markups including General Conditions, and bonds are also identified. 12 65A-19
