OPERATING EXPENSE AND<br />

MAINTENANCE ESTIMATES<br />

(continued)<br />

While fiscal year 2011 expenses for the Pier were $2,443,000, the<br />

ten year average expenses were $2,868,000. The new Pier’s initial<br />

projected expense level is $961,980, with a 10 year average <strong>of</strong><br />

$1,066,878. Factoring in conservative revenue estimates, the new<br />

Pier’s initial subsidy level is $592,840 in 2016 (with a projected<br />

10 year average <strong>of</strong> $666,356), substantially less than the current<br />

pier’s 10 year average subsidy <strong>of</strong> $1,425,000. Revenues in 2016<br />

are estimated to be $369,140, with a projected 10 year average<br />

<strong>of</strong> $400,522.<br />

Appendix N provides an analysis <strong>of</strong> operating and maintenance<br />

costs for the project, prepared by Willis Construction Estimating,<br />

Inc. The Report includes tables containing a revenue forecast, a<br />

maintenance cost forecast, and a replacement schedule.<br />

Willis Construction Consulting, Inc. is an estimating company<br />

with in-house estimators for civil, structural, architectural,<br />

mechanical, and electrical trades for the purpose <strong>of</strong> providing<br />

others. An acute working knowledge <strong>of</strong> critical elements, such<br />

as project size, location, design, construction market conditions<br />

and other factors that directly impact project cost, allows Willis<br />

to address individual client needs, while giving clients control <strong>of</strong><br />

project costs throughout all phases <strong>of</strong> the project life cycle.<br />

Based in Florida, Willis Construction provides services for both<br />

national and international projects, including many local clients<br />

in Tampa, such as the Florida Aquarium, the James A. Haley VA<br />

Hospital, MacDill Joint Systems Command Headquarters, and<br />

Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority.<br />

From 2006 through 2011 Willis Construction estimated over<br />

twelve billion dollars in construction costs for clients.<br />
