Conceptual Master Plan - Emeryville Center of Community Life

design features such as energy generating technology at the site, inclusion of
highly efficient systems for HVAC and lighting, water conservation, use of
recycled and renewable materials, and strict guidelines for diversion of waste
materials from landfill. The project will follow and meet the requirements for
California High Performance Schools (CHPS).
The structural engineers have done a very thorough analysis of the proposed
concept, and have prepared preliminary BIM studies of a steel frame system
which also allows for future vertical expansion. These diagrams, along with
preliminary calculation assumptions, are included in the outline specification.
Initial reports from mechanical, civil, landscape, electrical, and pool consultants
are also incorporated into this document. There are certainly many items which
have not yet been addressed, but we have tried to incorporate as many special
needs, such as gymnasium and kitchen equipment, library shelving, and audiovisual
systems, as could be anticipated based upon this level of design.
It should also be noted that this project will fall under the jurisdiction of the DSA,
and will require an onsite special inspector.
6. Estimated Project Costs
The construction cost estimating firm of Leland Saylor and Associates was
retained to do two cost estimate reports during the course of this master
planning effort. After receipt of the first estimate, the project finance committee
did an assessment of the potential funding that could become available for the
project, and determined that the scope had to be scaled back. The second
estimate was based on the final conceptual design, as illustrated in chapter 7 of
the master plan report.
A more complete project cost estimate was then prepared, using the
construction cost estimate as its basis. The summarized project cost estimate,
and complete final concept design construction cost study are included in
chapter 9 of the master plan report.
The major costs are estimated as follows:
Construction (including escalation to Aug 2011) $89,314,738
