Hello All
Quite a bit has happened over the last 6 weeks, the quick summary is the
contractor bids came in significantly higher than our expectations and higher
than the engineering construction cost estimate, we are pursuing two options
that fall within our cost requirements, and we are working toward making a
final selection for what will be constructed next year. The bottom line
remains we will have a new Flight Center, and one that will can with pride call
our own.
Here’s a little more detail, the big cost miss was associated almost entirely
with the clerestory, the high bay feature, and our path to a lower cost
structure has led us to retain the interior layout features while making major
changes in the roof design. Both options being investigated offer a vaulted
ceiling and views of the sky, and either option will be impressive. More
information will be shared as we move through the quote process with the
contractors.
Thanks for everyone’s support and interest, let me or a Board member know if
you have questions.
Ed
