" ..; <br />August 24, 1998 <br />To: Courtliouse Square Citizens Advisory Committee <br />From: Billy F. Wasson <br />Re: Recommendation to Proceed to ConstructionsBidding Documents <br />You have received the Design I)evelopment documents and attached to this memo is a summary <br />of the Architectural Cost Consultants (ACC) estimate of Construction Costs of this design. <br />I will summarize the "bottom line" of this estimate compared to the budgeted estimate of the <br />project: <br />Budgeted Estimate with contingency: <br />$ 23,936,020 <br />A.C.C. Estimate with estimating contingency and with Alternate #1: <br />$ 22,351,423 <br />Combining this lower conshuction cost estimate with the included estimating contingency gives a <br />projected new contingency to the project of $2,658,570. <br />Other informarion of interest is that the interest rate has improved since our construction budget <br />was developed. We had used an estimate of 5.25%, the ra.te as of two days ago was 4.95%. The <br />construction cost estimator also passed on information that the construction climate for projects <br />of this size is improving. <br />Based on all of the above I encourage your favorable recommendation that we proceed to bidding <br />of this project. <br />5 <br />
