Design costs generally run 10-15% of the total estimated cost. Is the request for a new structure or equipment? New building. If the request is for replacement or renovation please explain the need. The current PLUS building has been occupied by town offices since 2005. The building was never intended to long- term office space use – it was always intended to be temporary until a space needs plan could be developed. That plan is contained within the long-term capital financing plan. The current building is extremely inefficient in numerous ways, including use of space and energy use. A new building would be sited differently so as to maximize use of the property. Provide cost changes (if any) that will/could result from this request i.e. increase or decrease maintenance costs, utilities, personnel etc. Energy savings anticipated. Provide an estimate of revenues (if applicable) gained by this expenditure. Example: Artificial turf field would enable field rental and lower the ground maintenance costs. Include the estimated number of years to pay back this expenditure. If relevant, provide any other justification for the project or equipment.
