Preliminary Feasibility and Cost StudyApril 2012

FACILITIES ADVISORY

COMMITTEE

Executive Summary

Provided in this summary are Committee evaluated preliminary Feasibility and Costs for combined Oak Park School District 97 and Park District Administration Offices into one either renovated or newly constructed facility. Four proposed sites are provided based on previous studies by the committee and as directed by the OP97 Board.

The committee estimated preliminary costs for construction of new combined administration offices at each of the four proposed locations with consideration each of the dependant conditions, such as site limitations for available parking, new building massing to meet program and existing building shell square footage for renovation, as applicable. The combined program square footage includes consideration for some shared programming areas, such as meeting rooms, restrooms, etc.

Preliminary costs do not consider land, environmental, engineering and legal costs / fees or other soft / hard costs other than basic construction costs as outlined in the printed summary. Preliminary construction cost estimates are an estimate as provided from REED Construction Data 2012. Although parking estimates do not include off-street visitor spaces, the Board should expect additional spaces for some visitor parking may be necessary.

The preliminary SF costs are based on assumptions for construction type to be the same at each location for equally balance comparison and interior finishes using an average commercial office building standard of finishes. These assumptions are outlined in the printed summary.

COMMITTEE

Option DCurrent Village Hall Parking Site123 Madison Ave.

Pros 1. Frees up two non-taxing properties for new revenue production on Madison Ave.2. New building SF and footprint could be smaller due to some shared services with VOP facility3. Existing green space could be increased with parking underneath4. Centralization of public services and facilities

5. Site provides most options for Green Building Technology which could be shared with existing Village Hall to improve its Sustainability, such as Wind, Solar, Geothermal, etc.

  6. Opportunity to improve surface parking footprint with more passive green space

Cons 1. Displaced surface parking must be replaced with either additional surface or an underground parking structure

Estimated Construction Cost Alternates

D – 1 New 2(+) story bldg $6.2-6.8 M$245-265 / sf

(With architectural complimentsto Village Hall Bldg)

D – 1.a w/underground parking $3.5 M(Total 124 spaces req.)
