Market Factor: The market factor (4.0%) is a geographical markup for current construction building projects and developments being pursued in the Santa Ana area. Jail Reuse Feasibility Options Project -Related Costs Without a draft design on the proposed options, it is not possible at this time to firmly estimate the value of these following factors. For evaluation purposes, however, fees typically encountered in these types of building projects were used. • Construction Contingency — These funds are intended for change orders, either owner or contractor initiated. ■ Architect / Engineers Fees — This fee varies depending on the complexity and number of specialty consultants employed by the architect. For this Jail design type of work, in addition to typical engineering: (1) a security hardware consultant; (2) security electronics engineer; and (3) a structural engineer may be employed. Typically, this fee is 10-12% of the total construction budget. ■ Building Project / Construction Management and Inspection — The costs include individuals or firms contracted for building inspection, materials testing, special inspections, construction administration / management (PM/CM), and other project management duties. Typically, this fee is 4-6% of the total construction budget. • Miscellaneous — This is a placeholder cost for building permit fees, duplication costs, special inspections, geotechnical, and other incidental costs. Typically, this fee is 2- 3% of the total construction budget. • FF&E — Movable furniture, fixtures, and equipment required for the construction project. Typically, this cost could be in the 6-12% of the total construction budget range. Vanir's best estimate for the various options are as follows: (a) Temporary Jail Holding Facility: 0%, (b) Transitional Community Reentry Jail Treatment Facility: 3%, (c) Commercial Office Complex Space: 6-10%, (d) Homeless Shelter: 5-8%, and (e) Data Center: 15-30%. The cost estimate data highlighted in the following Table shows that converting the Type II Jail facility to a temporary Jail holding facility will not require any facility modifications in order to implement this reuse feasibility option. Expanding the City Jail, however, into a reentry Jail treatment facility will necessitate an estimated additional cost to the City of $3,028,574. If the facility is renovated and remodeled into an office complex, this reuse option would require base construction changes totaling $23,015,861. If a reuse option is pursued which would change the operational characteristics of the facility's structure into a homeless shelter, the consultant team estimates this would cost approximately $4,348,932 in a one-time construction expense. If the City Jail complex was physically modified to accommodate data center functions, the consultants believe the physical plant modifications needed to make this conversion would amount to $16,966,222. 13 65A-20
