At this time/ a <br />specific purchase price for site C has net been determined. The <br />sale price of the land upon which the current facility is located <br />and the sewer pond site has not yet been determined. Bernhardson <br />noted that there would be additional costs if the current site <br />and sewer pond were used. The public works building would have <br />to be constructed prior to elimination of the existing buildings. <br />By doing so, there may be a delay in construction/ and <br />consequently an increase in construction costs. There was also a <br />cc. ” arison given as to the cost/ft. quality of construction. A <br />low quality classification would be approximately $65.00/sq. ft./ <br />an average quality would be about $75.00/sq. ft.
