FROM: George Caravalho, City Manager
DATE: October 25, 1990 /
SUBJECT: Civic Center Space Needs Analysis
On May 29, the City contracted with Hughes Heiss and Associates
for space study services relating to the Civic Center. On
September 5, City staff presented to the Council a draft space
study. At that time, staff was instructed to include maximum
range space projections and additional meeting facilities
within the space needs analysis.
The final document -now presented is the result of interviews
with the City Council and department heads, as well as
background data on space needs for civic centers as a whole.
This report includes: footprinting for the 238 acre City -owned
site, projected staffing for City Hall functions, an
architectural program and.adjacency diagrams, construction
costs, total square footage required, and additional items.
At this time, it is necessary for the City Council to conduct a
final review of the space study and master plan. This document
will be presented to architectural firms as part of the design
competition for the Civic Center.
In order to reach a final decision on the preferred site for
the Civic Center, City staff, consultants and Council members
conducted an in-depth review of both the Newhall Panhandle and
the 238 acre City -owned site. This review included an analysis
of the following factors:

Page 2
Given these factors, the City -owned site was deemed to be the
best site for the Civic Center. There are, however, issues
pending regarding this site. These issues include seismology,
the Magic Mountain Parkway alignment, the Ria Vista alignment,
alternate access and temporary access. The Public Works,
Department will discuss these issues at this time.
Recommendation: That the City Council adopt the Civic Center
Space Needs Analysis and approve the 238 acre City -owned site
for the Civic Center.

SUMMARY SHEET: CITY HALL
The City Hall for the City of Santa Clarita is the focus of this report and its detailed space
needs assessment, adjacencies and cost estimates are outlined in this section. Following is the
City Hall Space Summary which by department totals staff estimates and space estimates as
well as references its detailed space needs assessment. Meeting rooms are listed to provide for
possible shared conference rooms. All meeting rooms shall be easily accessible between the
departments of city hall. Adjacency diagrams and matrixes in Section 3.17 address issues of
inter -department locations and public access by department. They are graded by essential,
important and desirable. A cost analysis/cost model is made in Section 3.18. The cost
estimate is based upon the total square footage of city hall illustrated in the chart below.
CITY HALL SPACE SUMMARY
The square footage totals of each department below represent the high and low estimates for
each department based on staff projections for the year 2020. The high figure is recommended
to fully provide for the future needs of Santa Clarita's City Hall. Each department has a
detailed needs assessment on the indicated pages which includes staff work space, visitor areas,
meeting areas, equipment areas, and storage areas.
The staff work spaces are based on the office space standards developed in Section 2. The
office type indicated in the "Remarks". column refers to these office types as a reference.
Visitor areas, meeting areas, equipment aieas, storage areas, other spaces, such as coffee
alcoves and a contingency factor, are indicated for each department. The public lobby and
public counter are viewed as being a centralized lobby with a "one-stop" continuous counter.
The lobbies and counter spaces would be combined with public lobbies (CH16.3) schematic

CITY OF SANTA CLARITA CIVIC CENTER 3.18.1
COST ANALYSIS/COST MODEL
Cost analysis is a difficult, demanding responsibility of the design and construction process of
the new Civic Center for the City of Santa Clarita. Every phase of the sequential, outlined
planning tasks require a review of potential budget requirements. Construction estimates are
developed by assembling current and projected building costs. Evaluating a project from
different budget assumptions is an accurate way of approximating costs. At the conceptual
phase of a project, probable construction costs can be determined by using current budget
projections for similar projects.
To determine comparable building budget projections, numerous sources are contacted. First,
new construction and future budgets of similar projects are considered to determine the range
of building costs. The following pages of this section analyze the cost of recently constructed
California civic centers. This provides a basis for estimating the range of cost estimates for the
City of Santa Clarita's Civic Center.
It is suggested that estimates should be reviewed as a "range". When considering area costs
(cost per square foot), a low and high unit price should be anticipated. It is important to
establish this "contingency" approach; because as the project develops, unforeseen costs will
be encountered. Site conditions, additional utility services, material shortages, interest rates,
inflation, and changing market conditions can dramatically effect construction bids.
An initial estimate is prepared for conceptual analysis at the planning phase. As a project
proceeds, additional cost estimates are required. Estimates should be prepared when the scope
of work is completed at the end of the schematic design phase, at the end of the design
development phase, and before construction bids are requested.
LIFE CYCLE COSTS
In addition to the construction costs associated with new projects, life cycle costs must be
anticipated. To reach an estimate of these costs, the consultant team must assess the building
in question, considering all significant costs of maintenance during its duration of use. Once
projected long-term maintenance costs are established, projections can be analyzed with initial
costs to reach a total cost estimate.
The major elements of total costs include:
1. Initial Costs
- Fees generally include architectural, mechanical, electrical, structural engineers, etc.
- Construction costs include all materials and labor.
- Administrative costs include miscellaneous contract services, printing, and copying.
2. Life Cycle Costs
- Operation of the building in terms of energy consumption, etc.
- Operation of the building in terms of energy consumption, etc.
- Maintenance of equipment and building components.
- Associated costs include insurance and other annual cost impacts not considered elsewhere.
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA CIVIC CENTER
COST ANALYSIS/COST MODEL (continued)
3.18.2
During the conceptual design phase of the project, the consultant team will evaluate specific
areas, such as mechanical systems, electrical layouts,. and construction materials. In this
evaluation, particular attention will be given to the interaction between the building and its
environment. The following four major areas are crucial points of consideration in the
conceptual design phase.
1. Analysis of a building envelope must include the building's physical orientation on the site
with respect to solar impact, entry areas, and maintenance access. In addition, interior
and exterior materials, landscaping needs, and insulation should be reviewed.
2. The functional layout.of the building's interior is developed based upon programmed
activities, required openings, and required mechanical/electrical rooms.
3. Mechanical systems (HVAC) are analyzed for heat gain and loss, natural ventilation, recovery
systems, etc.
4. Electrical and lighting requirements for natural and task lighting, energy consumption, and
fixtures are considered.
Energy represents approximately 10 to 15 percent of life cycle costs of a typical project.
Design strategies will explore "passive" energy techniques which recognize not only the
possibilities offered by solar radiation, thermal storage techniques, and appropriate shading,
but also the contributing factors of your local climatic conditions, occupancy profile, and the
appropriateness of specific systems for a building.
COST ANALYSIS
Charts of comparative construction costs of recently completed California civic centers provide
a current range of completed budgets. Escondido, Irvine, Moreno Valley, Mountain View,
Rancho Cucamonga, and Santa Clarity are reviewed on Page 3.18.3. Detailed total project
costs for Irvine, Moreno Valley, Mountain View and Santa Clarita have been analyzed on Page
3.18.4.
The cost analysis is based on 115,000 square feet space estimate for the new City Hall and its
required parking. Costs will change as the space program varies. These figures provide a
range of project costs. As stated, estimates will have to be revised during the design of the
project.
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA CIVIC CENTER 3.18.3
COST ANALYSIS/COST MODEL
The following chart provides a comparative cost analysis for the City Hall. Case studies of
recently constructed California civic centers are analyzed by square footage, cost per square
foot, and the total cost in the year of construction. Three cost estimates are made for Santa
Clarity based on construction casts in three years (1993) and in five years (1995). The gross
square footage is based on the high space needs assessment projections for the year 2020,
approximately 114,000 GSF.

MAGIC MOUNTAIN PARKWAY
ALTERNATE ALIGNMENT
The extension of Magic Mountain Parkway from its current terminus at San
Fernando Road to Soledad Canyon Road is a portion of the City's circulation
element. The extension of this roadway has been proposed by the County, SGAG,
and is included within the circulation plan recently investigated by the
City's traffic consultant. Because of the steep terrain that this extension
must pass through, we have estimated the cost for this extension at
$42,0000000. This is probably the most costly road per unit of traffic
serviced that we have experienced, and we think that there may be a more cost
effective alternative for this extension.
The purpose of the extension of Magic Mountain Parkway is to provide another
traffic corridor to reduce the impact on Bouquet Junction. We feel that the
proposed future development of the Bermite Properties and recent information
regarding the proposal for commuter rail traffic to the City suggests an
alternate approach. There will be a collector road to the Bermite Property to
provide access to development within that area. A transportation station is
also envisioned near the Saugus Speedway to provide. commuter rail service to
Downtown Los Angeles as well as the areas westerly of the City, including the
regional mall. Magic Mountain Parkway could be extended to this a multi—modal
transportation facility and also connect to the proposed access route to the
Bermite Property. This new alternate alignment would still satisfy the
conditions to reduce the traffic on Bouquet Junction while providing another
link in our circulation network.
CITY CIVIC CENTER SITE
SECONDARY/EMERGENCY ACCESS
The current proposal for access to the Civic Center Site is the construction
of Rio Vista from Soledad Canyon Road. Since the site would also be the area
of the proposed Emergency Operation Center and will be the administrative
center for the entire City, a second means of access should be considered.
This second means of access would provide emergency access to the site should
there be any period of time in which Rio Vista or Soledad Canyon Road is not
available because of some unforeseen closure.
This secondary access could be Magic Mountain Parkway, however, because of the
significant cost for that roadway and disruption of adjacent properties, we
are suggesting that a two-lane paved roadway be constructed from Drayton
Street to connect with Rio Vista Road and the site. Because of the steep
topography between Drayton and the site, we are suggesting that this second
access be used only during emergencies and be gated during other periods. We
also propose that this roadway have a minimum design speed of 25 miles per
hour in order to allow steeper grades.and shorter radii on the curved sections.
RIO VISTA ROAD
BOUQUET CANYON TO SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD
The Council has already approved, An concept, the alignment of Rio Vista Road
between Bouquet Canyon Road and Lyons Avenue. Recently, a proposal has been
presented to us from Castaic Lake Water Agency and Newhall Land and Farm to
provide an alternate alignment for the section between Bouquet Canyon Road and
Soledad Canyon Road. The Agency will be constructing a pipeline in the
right-of-way for Route 126/Newhall Ranch Road. They will be grading a
substantial portion of Route 126 easterly of Bouquet Canyon Road. The
benefits of the grading and other considerations merit further study of this
alternate alignment. The following are the major advantages we see benefiting
the City with the suggested alignment:
• Rio Vista would terminate at Alamogordo Road which is already a
signalized T intersection. This realignment would not add another
intersection on Bouquet Canyon Road.
• A . landslide area .to be removed in the location of Agency's new water
lines will require significant grading and can be done in conjunction
with the grading for Route 126/Newhall Ranch Road. This will reduce the
overall cost for Route 126.
• Moving the alignment of Rio Vista easterly would provide for a
separation between the intersections of Newhall Ranch Road with Rio
Vista Road and Bouquet Canyon Road. The further the distance between
intersections the less effect traffic in one intersection will have on
the adjacent one.
• The new alignment being further from Bouquet Canyon Road would, allow a
grade separation for full access between Rio Vista and Route 126/Newhall
Ranch Road. The Water Agency and Newhall Land and Farm have offered
compensation to the City for the redesign and design costs of the
original alignment.
• The new alignment would provide a buffer between the Water Agency's
treatment facility and adjacent developable property.
Although we have not finalized all of the details or costs regarding the
suggested alternative alignment, we feel that the above factors warrant
consideration of this alternative. We would like to pursue this issue further
and request that the Council provide their concurrence with our proposal for
further study.
CIVIC CENTER SITE GEOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
During the initial site selection process, existing geologic reports and
infrared aerial photos were -reviewed to determine if and to what extent the
San Gabriel fault might have on the site. As part of the continuing
environmental documentation, we recommend that further geologic analysis be
done in order to pen point the actual fault lines. These fault lines or
traces, if they exist and their precise location, will require that no
building be located within 50 feet of the actual fault trace. Since we are
currently in the process of determining areas for buildings on the Civic
Center site, it is important that those be located based on detailed knowledge
of the faulting in the area.
In order to determine the location of any active faults, trenches must be dug
across potential fault areas. Once a fault line is found, a determination
must be made whether it is active or inactive and a precise survey performed
to document its location. It is estimated that the cost of this work could
cost as much as $250,000. When the project was budgeted, we had anticipated
that this work would need to be done and are suggesting that the Council
direct staff to proceed with that work at this time. Our plan of action would
be to use the original geologist, Alan Seward, who first discovered the San
Gabriel fault in the Bouquet Junction area, as the professional responsible
for the preparation and mapping of these fault areas. The City would hire,
based on competitive bids, a contractor with familiarity and experience with
geological trenching work. The estimate for this work could be significantly
less, however, until such time as we begin the process of locating these fault
traces, we can merely estimate what we think is the high end of that work.
