pg.2 addition. It is our understanding at this time that the County has no intention of maintaining any of the existing courthouse facility for permanent use. All county departments currently located in the existing courthouse, plus some departments or partial departments currently located off site, will move into the new courthouse addition upon completion. It is our further understanding that that part of the site currently occupied by the existing courthouse will be demolished and the resultant site area used for additional staff and/or public parking. Floor plan and site plan options will be provided to illustrate optional floor plan layouts and site utilization. Additionally, ART will create 3-D colored renderings of the exterior of the proposed building addition to illustrate anticipated scale, form, and texture of the building shell and site areas. These preliminary design drawings will be presented to the Project's Leadership Team in a presentation meeting for review and comment. Any modifications resulting from discussions at this meeting will be made, with these final preliminary design drawings sent to you for final review. These drawings will then be included in the Phase 2 final report. D. Development of Project Materials and Systems Design Narratives: ART and each of our subconsultants will develop project design narratives wherein materials, components, and system equipment proposed for the project will be described in general terms. Additionally, the design rationale for choosing these particular materials and system equipment will be presented, such as abuse and wear- and-tear resistance, proven industry standards, general code compliance, structural seismic zone parameters for design, energy code compliance, etc .. An eye towards facility energy efficiency, user creature comforts, and long serviceable life will be keystones for these decisions. The design narratives will become part ofthe final report for this phase of the project. E. Development of Rougb Order of Magnitude Project Cost Estimate & Budget: Upon ART receiving approval to proceed on to the next stage, ART will, with the assistance from our cost estimating consultant and technical subconsultants, develop a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) Cost estimate for the proposed project. Besides the proposed courthouse building addition, there are several other project factors that will affect anticipated costs on the project. Some of these factors include costs for hazardous materials abatement from the existing courthouse facility, demolition of the existing courthouse structure, filling the ground void left by the existing basement and development of the site for additional parking and landscaping, dressing up the shell of the west wall of the jail addition completed in 2010 previously married up to the east wall of the west wing of the courthouse, any interior remodeling of the existing jail that might be required to interface with the new courthouse addition, and any facility operational phasing impacts that could affect the overall cost of the project. This phase will also establish the overall budget for the project. The budget will include all construction hard costs (labor and materials plus the contractor's mark-up) and all know soft costs such as for AlE fees, design contingency, bidding and construction contingency, any anticipated materials and labor costs escalations, state sales tax on construction costs, fees associated with special inspections and testing required by the building code, plan review and permitting fees, any project financing expenses, and any owner project management and moving expenses.
