BACKGROUND: In the Spring of 1995, the Board of Commissioners and the two Boards of Education formed a work group to develop recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners concerning standards that should be the basis for construction of all new school space that will be required in Orange County in coming years . The Manager suggests that the Commissioners receive the work group report as information at this time. Both school boards have reviewed these recommendations in early May, and their comments will be provided to the Board of Commissioners as they become available so that the Board can consider the views of the Boards of Education in adopting school construction standards. Adoption of the standards by mid-May is important so that they can be used as the basis for revisions to the County' s School Impact Fee technical report . Planning Director Marvin Collins will present a revised technical report as part of the May 28 quarterly public hearing. The public hearing is a necessary step in any changes to the existing impact fee schedule that the Board may wish to consider for FY 1996-97 . The entire work group report was distributed previously with the May 1, 1996 agenda. For ease of reference, accompanying this abstract are summaries of elementary and middle school standard profiles, and their associated estimated costs . RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board receive the report as information, with a decision on school construction standards to be made by May 16, 1996 . 2 Elementary School Capacity 600 Students Basic Additions to Basic School Total Basic School Plus 3 School Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Adjustments Tiers Classrooms and Associated Storage 36,100 1,200 4,650 (2,000) 39,950 Regular Classrooms (25) 28,400 1,200 3,400 (2,000) 31,000 Small Project Rooms(Grades 4&5) (2) 400 400 Science Project Room(1) 1,200 1,200 Pre-School Area(1) 1,700 1,700 Special/Exceptional Children/Speech Language(7 rooms) 4,800 850 5,650 Art Education and Music 2,400 450 2,850 Physical Education 5,050 200 5,250 Media Center 4,200 4,200 Small Group Resource Rooms 1,350 1,350 Administration 1,650 300 1,950 Student Support Areas 1,100 100 1,200 Health 200 100 300 Counseling 900 900 Staff Support Area 3,600 2,000 2,400 (1,000) 7,000 Teachers' Offices/Workrooms 2,300 2,000 300 4,600 Conference Rooms(one per grade 1,500 (11000) 500 General Conference Room 200 200 Speech/Language Conference Room 400 400 Teachers' Lounge/Workarea 1,000 1,000 Itinerant Support 300 300 Cafeteria/Food Service 4,500 200 4,700 Miscellaneous/Commons 19300 - - 1,855 - 3,155 Custodial General Storage 500 500 Book Storage 800 800 Student Commons 1,000 1,000 Additional Toilets above those Calculated as pan of"Circulation" 855 855 Subtotal 61,250 29000 1,400 9,955 (3,000) 71,605 Circulation at 33% of Subtotal 20,213 660 462 3,285 (1,000) 23,620 Total Square Footage 81,463 1 2,660 1,862 13,240 (4,000)1 95,225 Page 17 Middle School s Capacity 700 students Basic Additions to Basic School Total Basic School Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 School Plus 3 Tiers Classrooms and Associated Storage 32,500 2,550 35,050 Regular Classrooms(22) 22,000 300 22,300 Science Classrooms(6) 7,200 7,200 Exceptional Education Classroom (1)/Resource Rooms(4) 3,300 3,300 Student Project Rooms(3) 2,250 2,250 Art Education and Music (Cultural Arts) 9,600 1,130 10,730 Exploratories 9,000 1,000 10,000 Foreign Language Classroom 2,000 2,000 Career Explorations Lab and Resource Room 1,000 1,000 Applied Technology Lab and Resource Room 3,500 3,500 Consumer Education Lab and Resource Room 1,500 1,500 Computer Lab and Resource Room 1,000 1,000 Video Production Lab 11000 1.000 Physical Education 12,000 1,200 500 13,700 Media Center 5,640 60 5,700 Parent/Community Center 404 400 Administration 1,800 So 1,850 Student Support Areas 1,000 1,450 2,450 Health 200 500 700 Counseling/Guidance 800 950 1,750 Staff Support Area 1,800 2,000 2,000 5,800 Teachers' Offices/Workrooms 1,350 2,000 1,250 4,600 Conference Rooms(one per grade level) 750 750 Teachers' Lounge/Workarea 450 450 Cafeteria/Food Service 5,240 5,240 Miscellaneous/Commons 3,400 3,600 7,000 Receiving Area 200 200 Book Storage/Central Supply Storage 1,700 100 1.800 Student Commons 1,500 1,500 Activities Lobby 500 500 Academic House Centrums(3 @1000 sq.ft each) 3,000 3,000 Subtotal 81,980 .2,000 1,200 12,740 97,920 Circulation at 35% of Subtotal 28,693 700 420 4,459 34,272 Total Square Footage 110,673 2,700 1 1,620 17,199 132,192 Page 19 _ r 4 Estimated Cost of New Facilities Elementary School Capacity = 600 students Square Footage 95,225 Square Ft. per Student 158.7 Construction Cost Cost Per Square Foot $ 90 $ 8,570,250 Site Acquisition Acres: 16 Average Cost Per Acre: 25,000 $ 400,000 Site Development As a percentage of Construction Cost 10% $ 857,025 Fees As a percentage of Construction Costs and Site Development 10% 942,728 Moveable Equipment As a percentage of Construction Cost 5% $ 428,513 Technology Cost per square foot $ 8.25 $ 785,606 (includes cabling and equipment for voice, video and data distribution systems) Construction Contingency As a percentage of Construction Cost and Site Development 5% $ 471,364 Start-Up Costs Non Personnel One time start-up costs $ 330,000 Total $ 12,785,485 Middle School Capacity = 700 students Square Footage 132,192 Square Ft. per Student 188.8 Construction Cost Cost Per Square Foot $ 95 $ 12,558,240 Site Acquisition Acres: 22 Average Cost Per Acre 25,000 $ 550,000 Site Development As a percentage of Construction Cost 10% $ 1,255,824 Fees As a percentage of Construction Costs and Site Development 10% 1,381,406 Moveable Equipment As a percentage of Construction Cost 5% $ 627,912 Technology Cost per square foot $ 8.25 $ 1,090,584 (includes cabling and equipment for voice, video and data distribution systems) Construction Contingency As a percentage of Construction Cost and Site Development 5% $ 690,703 Start-Up Costs Non Personnel Start Up -one time $ 350,000 Total $ 18,504,670 R Page 19
