Catherine,
Could you please share what you learn with us? Here in Palo Alto our Buildings Department recently changed how they determine valuation for cost recovery (resulting in values that are a fraction of the actual
construction costs). The values they assign are way below what the intent of the public art valuation is : materials and labor necessary to actually construct the project. We are also searching for ways that other Cities confirm the valuation with private
developers.
Thanks,
Elise DeMarzo

Subject: RE: Construction Cost Calculation
Hi Charles,
We’re looking for examples of a uniform method for the calculation and something that validates the cost presented (typically by the developer through their GC or PM). The affidavit is the legal document confirming
that what is presented is truthful to the best of their knowledge. However, I’ve been asked to explore how other municipalities approach this and how they provide justification of what a developer/GC/PM presents.

Why isn’t the Construction Cost estimate done by the GC, government PM or a professional cost estimator?

Good morning!
Looking for the various ways public art administrators calculate and confirm private (and public) development construction costs for calculation of the percent for art. Currently, we use a Project Value Application and Affidavit prior to issuing of the building permit.
Thanks!
