RE: Cost Estimates for Improvements at Briscoe School
In 2005, Ashland School District commissioned a facilities report and seismic evaluation of Briscoe School to
develop a cost estimate for necessary upgrades and repairs. Briscoe has been closed since 2004, so the facilities
report naturally evaluated conditions through the lens of school operations. The study evaluated architectural,
mechanical and plumbing systems, electrical systems, and structural (seismic) conditions. Total costs to
implement all improvements was $6.5 million. It should be noted that costs included the addition of some parking
(approximately 18 or 19 spaces).
The City has updated the construction costs to 2016 values based on the actual national average Historical Cost
Index1 . Most items originally evaluated by the District were included in the City’s updated estimate, with the
exception of a line item for expanding the kitchen and replacing its equipment. The total 2016 estimate was
approximately $8 million (including $2.5 million in seismic retrofits). The 2016 estimate was then escalated by
5.5 percent per year for five years to provide a cost estimate of $10.6 million in 2021. If the City sells the
Community Development building for $2.5 million2, proceeds could be applied toward the project for a total cost
of $8.1 million.
Costs are broken down by line item and by year in the table that follows.
