factors for January 2005, based on Consumer Price Index. Includes construction of facility<br />

only - furniture and equipment not included in cost.<br />

(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 />
