<br />much of the historic Firehouse as possible. The combined area of the old Firehouse engine bay <br />and conjoining new gallery space would provide 2,000 + sq. ft. of available display space. <br />Design for the theater resulted in a 240 seat theater with flexible seating, including balcony <br />space for some patrons. The proposed theater is unique in that the seating space would be <br />created by excavating below grade level, offering a much more fonnal and elegant appearance. <br />The theater seating and staging could be arranged to accommodate proscenium, thrust, and arena <br />styles of staging. <br /> <br />Architectural style and building exterior materials/colors were chosen to be consistent with the <br />historic Downtown, and to complement and focus on the historic Firehouse. The Task Force <br />and architects are recommending simple exteriors, i.e. stucco, wood, etc., for the new additions <br />to complement the old Firehouse. Attempting to match the existing brick appearance of the <br />historic Firehouse would most likely be highly problematic (see Attachment 1). <br /> <br />ELS staff will be in attendance at tonight's workshop to present the concept and schematic <br />design in more detail and provide visual aids. <br /> <br />Initial Cost Estimates <br /> <br />The Task Force completed the conceptual and schematic designs in April 2005. The designs <br />were accompanied by an initial construction cost estimate, which was developed by the finn of <br />Davis Langdon Adamson. That estimate was presented to the Task Force at its meeting of May <br />5, 2005. At that point, construction costs for the concept/schematic design, as proposed, was <br />estimated at $8,444,000, based on accepting bids by January 2006 (see Attachment 2). This <br />represented a difference of $3,194,000 over the construction budget ($5.25 million) that would <br />need to be raised from private sources, or reduce the overall scope of the project. Members of <br />the Firehouse Fundraising Committee and leadership of the Pleasanton Cultural Arts Foundation <br />reviewed the concept/schematic design and cost estimates, and indicated that the shortfall was <br />within the parameters of previous projections, estimates, and goals of the fundraising campaign. <br />The Task Force reiterated its desire to go forward with the project, and recommended that the <br />Civic Arts Commission review and approve the conceptual/schematic design and work to <br />develop viable funding strategies so that the entire vision for the Center could be achieved. <br /> <br />Civic Arts Commission Actions and Recommendations <br /> <br />Staff fonnally introduced the concept/schematic design for the Firehouse to the Civic Arts <br />Commission at its meeting on May 9, 2005. Initial cost estimates were discussed, and staff <br />indicated that ELS would prepare and present to the Commission, at a future meeting, possible <br />cost saving alternatives - up to and including an option to rely solely on City funding of $5.25 <br />million to complete the project. <br /> <br />SR 05:241 <br />Page 6 <br />
