OK, that's right. And is that going away or that? So it stays and we are going to enlarge it to have even more toilets and take the concession out of there and put the concession behind the bleachers. So what is now concession standard toilets will be just toilet. Yes. Plus all those other toilets under the bleachers. Yes, believe it or not. A lot of people in the bathroom. OK. And what about storm shelter? So all of those at this concession, the toilets and the yes, will provide storm shelter in those areas. There's also the idea of some canopies that we're planning throughout the upper area behind the bleachers. So in case of inclement weather, there is a place to go that's not necessarily inside. So that's a big concern with. Yes. Now there's nowhere to go. Right. So I think with the field house, with the concession toilets, with the additional toilets, you'll have plenty of room to meet those demands. And the number of parking spaces, because it looks like more than half most of the parking on that upper level has been taken away. And I see you've added down below. But how does this compare to current parking? We still need to do those numbers and I don't have those off the top of my head. I apologize. I'll get that to you. It's going to be more. That's a good question. I actually promised Steve I would get him that number. We haven't done that yet. OK, good.
We haven't done that yet. OK, good. So and there's a. Well, that's what I was just saying to Pam with all these bleachers. I said we could hold it. Yeah. Is there is so there and there's a like a shop building on the site. Is that still the shop building facilities facilities? Yeah. Facilities building is still the dark building in the northwest corner. Gotcha. Is that is there any needs there while we're doing all this work? I don't know if that's been talked about. Well, we have talked with John a little bit about the fact that we are taking a lot of time to do that. We're taking over the entire fieldhouse, which is taking over their workshop. And so I know I know facilities is sort of trying to figure out if they have other areas for it, but it may need to be a part of a project. Yeah, that's the only conversation we've had about any of that. As long as Jim Brunel is part of the conversation, then absolutely. Good. OK, well, thank you very much. Thank you. BSI. Thank you. I don't know about that. OK, so we're here tonight to talk a little bit about the process to this point in terms of budget and then share some preliminary budget ranges that we've developed so far. So as the design team has been working through developing their building designs, BSI has been working with the design teams and the district to develop budgets for each project.
OK, so we're here tonight to talk a little bit about the process to this point in terms of budget and then share some preliminary budget ranges that we've developed so far. So as the design team has been working through developing their building designs, BSI has been working with the design teams and the district to develop budgets for each project. The goal has been to establish reasonable preliminary budgets for planning purposes. So to help with this, we pulled data from other K-12 projects that BSI has constructed over the last few years. So all of these projects are in the St. Louis area, some of storm sheltered components, some with new addition components and renovations. We've derived dollars per square foot data points from each of those projects and adjusted them up to twenty twenty five dollars. Each of those reference projects has varying levels of scope and quality for the Clayton projects. Obviously, it's still very, very early in the design, but some of the early discussions to date have included mentions of some higher level mechanical systems, higher quality exterior architecture to match the existing buildings. So so these things are toward that the higher end in comparison to some of these other projects that we are comparing to. We won't have a more complete, better picture of the total project costs until a little bit later in the design when we're able to build our full cost model.
So so these things are toward that the higher end in comparison to some of these other projects that we are comparing to. We won't have a more complete, better picture of the total project costs until a little bit later in the design when we're able to build our full cost model. But the discussions so far about scope and quality and aesthetics have helped to develop these preliminary budget parameters for the proposed Clayton projects. So the dollars per square foot parameters were applied to the square footages that have been provided to us from the design team and their diagrams. When a project is in the early stage of design where we're at right now, we're essentially we we only have the plan diagrams to go from. This is really the best approach is to use comparative dollars per square foot analysis to establish these preliminary budget ranges. So I will go over to the next slide, which has a recent snapshot of the preliminary budget ranges. We want to emphasize that these are budget ranges for planning purposes, not not estimates yet, which will come later when more design information becomes available. The projects are grouped by potential funding category right now. The potential phase, phase one bond funded projects include the high school CTE addition, the Glenridge Elementary School improvements and gay field improvements. So those three projects currently are totaling in the range of one hundred five to one hundred thirty million.

So those three projects currently are totaling in the range of one hundred five to one hundred thirty million. The next category, the future potential future bond funded projects, Merrimack and Captain, those total to north of one hundred sixty three. Yeah, one hundred sixty three to one eighty seven million. And then the separate bucket for potential budget funded projects would be the PAC improvements at the high school. Some of the athletic components at the baseball field, softball field and middle school and then also potential temporary bridge campus while the elementary schools are under construction. So in addition to the construction costs, these budgets also include all the soft costs. They include factors for estimating contingency, owner contingency and then an assumed inflation annual inflation rate of three percent up to those assumed construction start construction start years that you see up there. We want to emphasize that both the design processes and the pricing processes are iterative. It's still very early in the design and there are a ton of scope and quality decisions to be made between now and the end of design that will really impact cost. So budget pricing will continue to be updated as the design work continues.
