Proposed Scope
13,190 sq. ft. interior space
— 12,225 sq. ft. interior space
— 965 sq. ft. outdoor space
Current construction estimate of $240 /sq. ft.
— Very rough estimate; will be subject to many factors
including local costs at the time of construction and
decisions made during the design process
— There will be opportunities to address fixtures, material
etc. as design moves forward
— Scope reduced as conceptual design has moved forwarc
Will support Iowa City growth with fewer
participating jurisdictions
Conceptual Design Refinement
As with any project of this size, needs were
identified to develop conceptual plans
Particularly difficult with this project, as
capacity needs were subject to defining wh
jurisdictions will participate
Project was `right- sized' after identifying
known participants, phasing options, and
accounting for cost considerations
Reduced
from

interior,
2,180 sq. ft. exterior
Conceptual Design Refinement
3,775 interior sq. ft. removed from initial plc-
- Plus 1,215 sq. ft. exterior space
Training center and accompanying spaces
eliminated
— Future expansion option maintained
Donation drop -off and entrance vestibule
eliminated
Other spaces repurposed to accommodate
animal capacity and existing storage concerr
Known Participating Jurisdictions
Coralville, University Heights, and the University of
Iowa have all submitted letters of intent
— Participating jurisdictions including Iowa City
account for approximately 68% of animal volt
— Coralville and University Heights include
fundraising stipulation
Johnson County and Solon seek further negotial
North Liberty is pursuing a contract with the Cec
Valley Humane Society
All other municipalities have either indicated the
will not participate or did not respond
Proposed Capital and Operating
Agreements
Both based on percentage of animal intake
averaged over the previous three years
Capital contribution based on proportional
distribution of costs based on use
— Less FEMA funding and Friends of the Animal
Center Foundation capital campaign
— Does not include costs incurred to date including
demolition, land acquisition, and design services
— Coralville and University Heights letters of intent
stipulate a successful fundraising campaign

Design Considerations
Animal shelters have unique design
considerations due to animal behavior and
wa ste
— Sanitation: drains, HVAC, flooring
— Durability: recommended materials last four timE
as long
— Accessibility: Proper construction maximizes
adoptions, volunteering, and fundraising
— Safety: separation of spaces for sick or dangerou!
animals protects the public, staff, volunteers, anc
animals
Funding
pry preliminary total cost estimate of
)proximately $3 million
Reduced from original concept of $4 million
_.4 million FEMA reimbursement
A portion of FEMA funds have been used for
demolition and other costs incurred to date
Proposed to be shared proportionately with
participating jurisdictions
Funding
FACF capital campaign
— Awaiting more definitive design for full campaign
— Significant unsolicited funds raised to date
— Fundraising goal will be announced in the coming week:
— Proposed to be shared proportionately with participatir
jurisdictions
— Future fundraising may support phased expansion
— Coralville and University Heights proposals stipulate a $
million capital campaign

Site approval was granted in August 2011
Extension request deadline: April 2012
Improved project request: August 2012
— Has been delayed to accommodate decision making
process of local jurisdictions
— Requires detailed square footage and cost estimates (3
months of architectural design)
— Design must begin as soon as possible to submit reque
FEMA
Estimated completion in late 2014

possible
Propose including a resolution on the Apri
