It's very coincidental that the square footage available in the existing courthouse facility very <br />nearly matches the space needs of the courts and associated functions. <br />In the hybrid project, a likely soft cost increase will be for relocation of the courts functions while the courthouse <br />building is being renovated. We looked at the option of trying to keep existing courts operational in the building while <br />the balance of the building is under renovation, but with the age of building systems and shell, and with having to <br />maintain access and emergency egress for those departments or portions of the courts operations to remain, having to <br />maintain old systems concurrently with providing new systems and maintaining access/egress would be a logistics <br />nightmare. Not to mention a real challenge in maintaining operations efficiencies and security for the courts. <br />As you can see, a new general government addition by itself would cost around $21,689,615. Also, the upper cost range <br />for renovating the existing building would likely cost an additional $20,281,388. Added together, you get an approximate <br />$41,971,002 price tag. <br />This is a lot to absorb, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate in contacting me. I am now taking Thursdays <br />and Fridays off, but am usually here at the office otherwise. <br />X�Fm <br />Kenn Triebelhorn, AIA <br />Architects Rasmussen Triebelhorn, AIA/ps <br />9 Saint Helens Avenue, Suite D <br />Tacoma, WA. 98402 <br />(253) 572-5511 Ext. 102 <br />www.a-rt.org <br />
