Oswegatchie Fire House Building Committee
Dear Members,
| would expect that someone from the BOS, BOF or RTM will want to know an approximate value of
the proposed new firehouse based on the interviews with the 2 A & E firms submitting proposals.
We know from our conversation with both firms that PS & A stated an approximate building cost at
$800/sf and the The Galante Architectural Studio estimated cost between $800-900/sf.
We know that DRA’s 2014 and 2018 designs were both shown to be 13,350 sf in size. Therefore, | will
use this figure to project a budget estimate for this project using the lower figure of $800/sf.
Building cost 13,350sf @ $800/sf $ 10,680,000
A&E Fees (see summary below) $ 883,450
Subtotal . $ 11,563,445
Contingency 5% $ 578,223
Total $ 12,141,673
This does include any fixtures / furnishing, any electronic / phone / internet & any other electronic
equipment and specialty equipment normally needed.
A&E Fees
Phase | $ 176,550
Phase Il 5.5% of $10,680,000 $ 587,400
Specialty Consultants (using Kepple’s figure) $ 90,000
A & E Fees on Specialty Consultants $ 4,500
HPB $ 25,000
Total $ 883,500
