While it may be possible to design a regional jail for less, the $112,000 per bed of operating capacity reflects the expected cost when the project design is consistent with the existing state design Standards. The project cost can be lowered by not building to the state Standards. This approach is not recommended. The potential savings by not building to state Standards are not quantifiable until development of a conceptual design that would reflect the differences in that design from the design that would be consistent with the Standards. However, if the State standards were not followed, the reimbursement from the State would probably not be available to offset 50% of the approved project cost. The table below presents the project costs for two building options. One of the options involves building to meet the 2018 forecast and the other option involves designing to the 2018 forecast but building to the 2013 forecast. Project Cost July 2013 July 2018 Forecast 543 724 Project Cost (Millions) $60.8 $81.1 State Reimbursement (50% of Approved Project cost) $30.4 $40.5 Jurisdictions' Share of Project Cost $30.4 $40.5 Powell Consulting Sen/ices 4 Januaq,, 14, 2005
