COST MODEL INTRODUCTION This appendix introduces the planning -level cost estimates associated with recommendations for existing parks and potential future park sites and recreation facilities. It explains how capital and operations costs were calculated for the Parks Master Plan. acquires a site that requires demolition and clean-up to convert it to park spaces, cost may be higher. If the City acquires a large parcel, total land costs may be lower than shown. Most costs will be further refined when site master plans and construction documents are created, prior to site development or renovation. The estimates are based on general order -of - magnitude in costs to assist in evaluating and The costs noted here are more than the City ESTIMATED COSTS BY SITE Table E-1: Summary of Estimated Capital and Operations Costs by Site presents total costs by site based on planning level cost estimates. These costs are aggregates of the detailed Table E-2: Estimated Planning and Project Costs by Site and Category, which includes the following information as noted below. Costs are based on per -acre or per -site costs for six different classifications of sites, as shown in Table E-3. Table rows are divided into two main sections: 1) Existing Parks; and 2) Planned, Proposed and Expanded Parks. Within these two categories, parks are divided into park types as inventoried. CAPITAL PROJECTS Capital costs represent one-time costs to acquire, develop, build or renovate park infrastructure and features. • Acquire/Expand: This is a per -acre cost to obtain new land for future park development. Costs assume purchase of property and are based on Santa Ana land cost estimates. Sites may be acquired through other means (e.g., easement, partnership) that would offset acquisition costs. prioritizing projects for future consideration will likely spend over the next ten years.

Costs for site development will range in scale based on site conditions and park type/design, so some costs may be lower or higher than provided. Costs are based on Southern California estimates with updates by MIG based on cost averages of comparable communities. • Develop through Partnership: These cost estimates apply to the City's portion of estimated cost for public/private project partnerships. These are estimated based on information found in the 2022 City Capital Improvement Program (CIP). • New Major Facility Additions: These cost estimates apply to unique or specific features added to a site. The costs are specifically identified to cover the cost of the added facility. These are estimated based on information found in the 2022 CIP. • Improve Comfort Amenities: Comfort amenity improvements are anticipated to affect approximately three percent of the developed portion of the site. Costs are calculated at three percent of full park development costs, based on MIG estimates using averages of comparable communities and projects. in the City-wide Capital Improvement Plan not include costs associated with existing trail g plans, design concepts and/or feasibility studies (CIP).
