| do have Mr. Chair just a couple more slides.
Chairman Dowd
Couple more slides.
Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director
Just | promise. Just a couple more. | wanted to provide the body with just some background on the design.
Chairman Dowd
Sure go ahead.
Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director
Thank you. So you know, we're looking at a two story building. | pulled a couple slides from the architect’s
presentation to the Joint Board of Infrastructure and Board of Public Works. It's a design team of Hoyle Tanner is the
civil and structural engineers. Ironwood Design is the landscape architect. We have mechanical, electrical, plumbing,
fire protection, engineers with VFW Engineering and AKF Code Consultants. They're our code compliance group.
As you may or may not know, we're looking at the Four Hills Landfill. We're looking to put the building right in and
around here with its own separate driveway. Here is the existing driveway up here. You could come in off of the
existing driveway or the new entry right in through here. We are not looking at the Cadillac of type buildings. This is
just a good, solid, basic building that will last the community for years. It's approximately a 25,000 square feet over
two floors. Here's just some landscaping to kind of show you how the building lays out.
So first, will programming. You got a couple of multi-purpose rooms in the first corner here, waiting/lobby area.
You've got locker rooms and toilets, bathrooms, conference rooms, the mechanicals, kitchen. This is like a break
room of sorts. Up here is the Engineering and Administration offices right up and along here. Again, a library which is
more like a conference room, waiting area. Here’s a view of what it looks like from the west, from the south, and then
finally just a perspective on the east, and then the entry. A very standard type building. It's similar to, you know,
many other comparable Public Works buildings if you're familiar with them in the area. Flat roof and that pretty much
wraps it up.
I'll tell you just a little bit about the timeline. We have been going through design. We are trying to wrap design up
now, which is where we are. We're trying to get the project bid in December and into January. We'd like to start
construction in the spring and we're trying to have it completed so we can have occupancy in the spring of 2023. So it
would be about a yearlong construction project if we can get it going in in the spring of 2022. So again, we costed this
project a couple of times. It shows you that our high costs are just about 105. Soft costs is about 3. Contingency at
1.4 brings us in at that total project cost of $15 million. And that's all | have, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
Chairman Dowd
Director Cummings in these legislative actions that we're talking about tonight, those have all been through the Board
of Public Works, and the construction committee, and had been approved at that level, correct?
Tim Cummings, Economic Development Director
Yes and the Planning Board.
Chairman Dowd
And the Planning Board. Okay. Any questions from the Aldermen?
Alderman Caron
Yes thank you. Can you just run down who's supposed to be in that building besides the administrative office? Is
there any other group?
