MARION COUNTy COURTHOUSE RENOVATION <br />ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COST <br />This cost estimate is based on converting the court house into class "A" office space. 3'0 <br />bring this building up to current seismic, energy and life safety standazds will cause major <br />disruptions to departments within the court house. This study assumes that users will vacate the <br />building during the renovation. <br />The estimated costs to renovate the Marion County Courthouse includes a basement, lst <br />floor, 2nd floor and 3rd floor. Due to the high ceilings in the second floor court rooms additional <br />space can be obtained on this floor. The second floor mezzanine currently occupies about 50% of <br />the floor azea. This will generate additional usable floor area and convert the second floor <br />courtrooms into more usable administrative areas. Another assumption for this study is that the <br />existing 4th floor will not be renovated. <br />Dan Smith's associates have developed Program Options Dl and D2. For the purpose of <br />this estimate only one option has been evaluated, for construction costs. This will allow any <br />county departments to be potential users within the courthouse. Due to this project being an <br />extensive remodel major disruption of county functions will occur. This study assumes that all <br />departments will vacate the building at one time. If this does not occur costs will be increased <br />due to multiple project phases. Not included within this estimate is the cost for departments to <br />temporarily relocate while fhe space is renovated. Utilitarian azeas such as mechanical and <br />electrical spaces and the newly remodeled fourth floor are evaluated for energy, &re protection <br />and seismic upgrade orily. <br />Existing systems will be maintained and tied into the new construction. Costs for placing <br />additional eacterior windows which may be necessary in order to convert this building from a <br />courthouse to a fle~cible office building are not included. <br />It is estimated to remodel the courthouse will cost $5,500,000 in today's (1994) dollazs. <br />
