Section 7 Summary

CITY OF SAGINAW Preliminary Project Cost Summary

Assumptions Build-to-Suit – New Site

Plante Moran CRESA (PMC) used the following assumptions for a build-to-suit project:

• Professional fees for environmental, surveys, and Geotechnical are based on a clean site with no unusual soil or environmental conditions

• Architectural/Engineering fees are estimated to be 7% of Land Improvements / Building Cost

• Owner’s Representative/Project Management fees are based on $10,000 per month of total

project Schedule (18 months)

• Site development costs are estimated at approximately $200,000 per acre (approximately 2.5 acres) and are based on a typical site development with no unusual soil or environmental conditions

• Building costs for this type of facility usually range from $135 to $200 per square foot, PMC

assumed $140 per square foot based on image requirements

• Technology costs have been provided by the City of Saginaw

• Furniture costs were based upon approximately $8.00 per square foot for the facility

• All other cost estimates are based on professional judgment

• Contingency of ten percent (10%) was determined to be adequate for the total project cost

• The firm engaged for the design will be diligent by balancing both the space program image and budget. The design should include generic specifications with limited single source components

• The cost summary is based on a project delivery method managed by a qualified

independent professional firm, utilizing a fixed cost RFP process, which will include competitive bidding for all project components.

• Costs are not included for recent storm water regulations regarding rain gardens and bio

swales • An above-ground detention pond is assumed. Additional cost for an underground system is

excluded

Section 7 Summary

Quality of Construction

The construction quality levels are represented by a unit cost figure such as cost per gross square foot. The unit costs typically include architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work but do not include site development and fixed equipment. The Chart below indicates the possibility of six choices in quality ranging from austere to superb: Austere Economical Moderate Excellent Grand Superb

100 115 135 160 200 285

(Cost per Square Foot)

For Automobiles For Buildings

Super Luxury Superb Luxury Grand Full Excellent Intermediate Moderate Compact Economical Subcompact Austere

This chart shows the relationship between the unit cost for automobiles and quality level. The point of the analogy is this: Autos and buildings share the same wide range in levels of quality. They also share similar quality factors, based on (1) materials, systems and construction (2) function and performance, and (3) spatial qualities.

Municipal Facilities

Efficiency and Quality

There is a certain aspect of architectural quality which is inversely proportional to the “plan efficiency” of a building. Therefore, it is important to predict and assign a reasonable efficiency for a building which would contribute to its expected quality.

Conclusion PMC assumed moderate quality level and moderate plan efficiency, used $140/SF for building construction cost. Cost data based on RSMeans.

Section 7 Summary

Fire Station No. 1 Historic Considerations The Fire Station, designed and built in 1937, was designed in the Art Deco style popular at the time of its development. It is located on Federal Avenue and lies across from the East Genesee Historic District. Elements of significance include the building exterior with radius brick and circular stair towers and an art deco font set upon a prominent vertical line of stainless steel. Each bay is defined by a strong, vertical stone pier along the front façade. The typical three-step detail of the Art Deco style is showcased throughout the building on the stone piers, bay entrances, and stone coping. The original windows appear to have been replaced in the 1960s. Opaque panels were added in the upper sash of the windows. Over the years, much of the building interior has been remodeled. One significant remodeling occurred in the last quarter of the 20th century when the first woman fire fighter joined the department. At that time the ‘all men’s’ facilities where renovated to include separate facilities for women. Components within the building, which still reflect the historic character, are primarily located within the large, open, apparatus/truck bays. These include the brass fire pole, emerald green terrazzo floors, plaster ceilings, and mat glazed brick interior. The hose tower is still intact and utilized on a regular basis. The stairs leading to the upper floor reflect the more utilitarian use of the fire station. The treads have been covered with vinyl but the original rail, posts, and painted steel guard still remain. There appears to be an original phone booth in the large truck bay, a symbol of a by-gone era. These elements of significance and key components should be retained and preserved as part of any adaptive use project that may occur at this building. While the canopy and ceiling heights in the main truck bay area no longer provide adequate space for today’s modern rigs – the space does lend itself uniquely to alternative adaptive uses. Rehabilitation for this building should follow the Secretary of Interior Standards for adaptive use and rehabilitation and can provide for modernization while preserving the unique characteristics of the building. Through our past experience, we have seen buildings with similar circumstances successfully adapt to accommodate various uses such as; Restaurants, Brew Pubs, Office Spaces, Community Centers, Vehicle Repair shops, Vehicle Repair Training/College Facilities, Retail, Libraries, and Museums.

Project Summary

Project Component Project Finding

Overall The Fire Station was designed in the Art Deco style popular at the time of its development. It is located on Federal Avenue and lies across from the East Genesee Historic District. The Fire Station was constructed in approximately 1937 with a minor interior renovation in 1990. The facility is a 3 - story structure of approximately 22,000 square feet. The first floor contains a 7,000 square foot apparatus bay, a very small public area, administrative offices and a small training room. The second floor of approximately 8,000 SF contains the dormitory, administrative offices, dayroom and support for firefighters. The basement is approximate 3,000 SF and contains mechanical spaces and miscellaneous storage. The existing structure and layout is extremely inefficient and deficient based on current fire station standards.

• Existing apparatus bays are not designed properly. New stations are built with drive through bays

• There are no public areas • The dormitory has too many bedrooms and the layout is incorrect • The existing training room is too small • Records are stored in the basement which is not good • Existing HVAC system is original • Existing lighting is poor throughout • There is no public parking at public entry • A public community room does not exist • The facility does not contain a fire protection system • The facility does not comply with ADA regulations • There is no way for public to directly access the Fire Chief • Existing toilet rooms are original and inadequate based on current

new facilities

Based on the cost of new construction, it appears a major renovation/building addition would be most cost efficient for the City. The existing Fire Station site has adequate room for new drive through apparatus bays. This would allow the existing apparatus bay to be converted into administration and dormitory space. The existing second floor could be moth balled or use for storage and mechanical if needed.
