10. 6:55 - Lake Forest Time Line for Building and Funding
Discussion:
Lewis Group told the Board that they are looking at $120.00 to $130.00 a square foot for this building. The building is 137,000 square feet at $130.00 equals 17.8 million dollars for the cost of construction of the new building. Anything anchored to the building is in that cost. Nothing else will be there. Mr. Turner asked if there were contingency funds built into that amount. Mr. Shover told him that they are proposing a 5% contingency fund.
Lewis Group gave the Board a Proposed Project Schedule Timeline. As of now, they are in the beginning stages of design development with a four month window so they should complete in mid April. Then, there will be a two week period with design development approval. May 1, will start construction documents ending September 1. Then, they move into a period of approvals for the owner and the state fire marshal's office. The project will go out to bid which will take about six weeks for bidding and negotiations ending December 1, this year. They show a construction duration of 16 to 20 months.
