(3) Design costs based on 5 percent of the total construction cost per square foot, based on<br />
information provided by the IRC School District on recent schools constructed in IRC.<br />
(4) Engineering and utility connection costs based on 0.5 percent of the total construction cost<br />
per square foot, based on information provided by the IRC School District on recent<br />
schools constructed in IRC.<br />
(5) FF&E costs based on 9 percent of the total construction cost per square foot, based on<br />
information provided by the IRC School District on recent schools constructed in IRC.<br />
(6) Based on a cost of $34,136 per acre using recently purchased vacant land parcels of 40 to<br />
130 acres (Source: Appendix B, Table B-2). The land cost per acre is then multiplied by 20<br />
acres per elementary, 40 acres per middle, or 80 acres per high school. Land cost per<br />
square foot is determined by multiplying the prototypical number of acres for each school<br />
type by the cost per acre of $34,136 and dividing by the average square footage per school<br />
type (81,164 square feet for elementary, 123,123 for middle, and 279,294 for high schools).<br />
The average square footage by school type is calculated by multiplying the square feet per<br />
student station by the maximum number of student stations for new schools, per IRC<br />
School District.<br />
(7) Total facility cost per square foot multiplied by the number of square feet per student<br />
station (Item 1) for each school type.<br />
