Programming Documents for Pre-K for SA - The City of San Antonio

Executive Summary
Preliminary Project Cost
At the time of publication of this document, a total project budget for the
construction and finish-out of both the Eastside and Westside centers was
not available. It is the intention that the facilities will be constructed by a
developer and leased to the City. The allocated budget will be utilized for
tenant fit-out. The budget will continue to be reviewed regularly during
the design and construction phases to determine necessary adjustments.
A 1/8-cent sales tax was approved by the citizens of San Antonio in
November 2012. This sales tax increase has been proposed to generate an
estimated $29 million annually towards the construction, operation and
maintenance of the early childhood centers. The cost of this investment
is estimated to be $7.79 annually per median San Antonio household. In
addition, the facilities may be eligible to receive matching state pre-Kindergarten
dollars estimated at between $10 million and $11 million annually.
Project Schedule
The schedule which follows is preliminary and will be adjusted as the
project moves further through the design phase and as the construction
drawings are developed. Items which may affect schedule include funding,
permitting, construction document quality, contractor bids, contractor
quality, and weather.
The Eastside and Westside Centers will be constructed by a developer then
leased back to the City. Therefore, the schedule will be developer-driven
with a substantial completion by July 2014.
