Cost Considerations Typical Project Related � • Furniture/Equipment/Supplies: classroom desk, library furniture, shop equipment, fine arts furnishings, athletic equipment, administration furniture, library books, AV equipment, software, etc. � • Infrastructure: tree preservation, tree mitigation, easements, off-site work (roads, utilities, etc...) � • Technology: cabling, computers, software, etc… � • Contingencies: to support budget overages and any other impacts � 16 �
Cost Considerations Typical Project Related � How was the cost determined? � - How was the cost determined � • Historical cost � • Information from local contractors and sub- contractors � • Information from architects and engineers � • Information from other school districts � • Inflation cost has been factored into the projects � 17 �

Cost Considerations Schools cost more to build today… why? � – Technology – Multiple computer labs and computers in all classrooms and infrastructure (cable, wiring, electrical) � – Fuel/Petroleum – Affects construction via products, production and delivery of all materials � – School Sites – More challenging sites (topography, lack of useable area) than most school districts, especially as the District expands to the Hill Country � – Eagle Ford Shale Initiative – Trade and material resources dedicated to this initiative � – Laws/Ordinances – Increase in rules impact costs � 21 �
