2019 Capital Projects Workshop Two years ago, during a Capital Projects Workshop (January 23, 2019) provided three options regarding the Scope and Budget for the new recreation center ranging from $4M - $7.5M. • Option 1 – No change to the building size and VRC outdoor amenities. • Option 2 – Increase under roof area of the building up to 6,000 SF
additional with VRC outdoor amenities. • Option 3 – Demolish existing structure and rebuild 12,000 SF building with
VRC outdoor amenities. • These estimated costs were based on outdoor amenities consistent with a
comparable Village Recreation Center. • Following much discussion, AAC determined to use a $6.5M placeholder
of settlement funds. • Mr. Baier advised that an in-depth discussion about the amenities would
occur once the analysis from the resident survey was completed.

2019 Placeholder: Cost Index Adjustment • The original $6.5M amount that AAC decided to use as a placeholder was
based on a high-level cost estimate developed over two years ago for the January, 2019 Capital Projects workshop.
• Current estimate is based on January 2021 pricing. Construction Analytics Building Cost Index, Turner Building Cost Index, Rider Levett Bucknall Cost Index and Mortenson Cost Index are all examples of whole building cost indices that measure final selling price (for nonresidential buildings only). The average annual growth for all these indices over the past five years is 4.7%/year. For the last two years, average nonresidential buildings inflation is 5.3%.
• Applying this Cost Index adjustment of $653,000 to the original estimate updates the estimate to $7.15 M in current day dollars but again based on the original concept scope.

Current Project Estimate Scope • The ACC considered resident survey input and requests from resident user groups
along with a desire to provide newer amenity features available south of SR-44 and features currently unavailable in the VCCDD recreational amenity division area as part of the project design.
• Building renovation with additional 1,338 square feet under roof to accommodate potential proposed uses (10,784 square feet).
• Installation of enhanced outdoor amenities consistent with a comparable Regional Recreation Center.
• To maximize the usage of land, an additional 4 acres of developable land allowed expansion to an 18 –hole putt and play course, expanded walking trail, addition of a multi-use field and additional parking areas.
• Site work improvements. • Entry Gate Feature. • Recreation and Building Furniture, Fixture, Equipment (FFE). • Landscape/Irrigation. • Permitting, Design, Project Management, Contingency.
