sharing for the acquisition appraisal, relocation of <br />businesses on the block, and demolition services to clear <br />the block will also use the land acquisition percentage <br />(31.29%). <br />Cor~struction Related Costs: The cost estimators, <br />Architectural Cost Consultants (ACC), of Portland, <br />prepared a cost estimate for the entire project based on the <br />completed design development plans and specifications. At <br />our direction, ACC prepared a floor by floor, item by item <br />breakdown of the costs as they pertained to the county <br />and/or transit elements of the project. (The relationship of <br />transit's and the county's useable square footage (20.07%) <br />determined the portion of the common space costs which <br />would be assigned to transit.) That estimate is attached to <br />this document. On the basis of that estimate, we are able <br />to determine the relationship of the transit costs to the <br />total project costs. (See the attached chart) This <br />percentage (31.42%) is the portion of all construction <br />related invoices which will be paid by transit, including <br />architecture and engineering; project management; fees, <br />permits, and insurance; and construction hard costs. We <br />do not expect the cost relationship to change; however, to <br />further verify the percentage another estimate will be <br />prepared by ACC when the construction drawings and <br />specifications are complete and they will also spot check <br />the key elements against the bids, when received. Should <br />the CD estimate change the cost-sharing percentage, we <br />will so advise FTA. In the meantime, however, invoices will <br />be paid according to the 31.42% formula and adjusted <br />later, if necessary. <br />Note: Salem Area Transit is the paying agent for the <br />entire project, th~reby providing us the opportunity to <br />closely track all invoices, payments, and cost <br />allocations. <br />Special Considerations: Some special services have been <br />contracted because of requirements imposed by FTA or <br />because of the unique nature of the integrated <br />development. In addition, some costs were incurred in <br />project management and design which are not being <br />Ch2 Cost Allocation <br />09/23/98 <br />2 <br />
