The primary focus is to identify choices, opportunities and limitations that exist or can be accommodated with respect to: the physical structure of the grain silo; the types of activities and magnitude of the markets that might be drawn to an adaptive reuse of the site; and the kinds of financial outlook and conditions for an adaptive reuse of the grain silo. For this reason, the proposed•effort is divided into three phases: a structural feasibility study; a market feasibility study; and a financial feasibility study. The resulting information, analyses and study reports can be used by the City of Lubbock to determine -the attractiveness of the grain silo for an adaptive reuse. If determined feasible for reuse, the final reports from this study on structural, market and financial soundness will be organized to assist in efforts to attract development to the study site. The following sections of this proposal describe the intensity of research and study that will be expended by sPRIMER to facilitate the Information, analyses -and -recommendations that are requested. A detailed budget for this effort, and an overview of aPRIaER and the personnel that will be brought into this proposed study are also outlined. 1-01 r SECTION 2.00 STRUCTURAL FEASIBILITY The intent of this first phase of the study is to determine whether the grain silo can be structurally adapted to accommodate multistory reuse activities. The structural analyses that are proposed for this phase of the study will examine the integrity of the grain silo with respect to those adaptations that will be necessary in order to facilitate the installation of interior floors, punched openings, and any other modifications that may be required for a successful reuse of the structure. The structural feasibility study includes: a subsurface investigation of the physical land conditions; a review of construction drawings of the existing structure; a site inspection by registered engineers; structural sampling and analyses of wall and foundation materials; and a report summarizing the results of the analyses, conclusions regarding the physical condition and soundness of the structure, and recommendations with respect to its future reuse: (Due to the nature of the investigations that are required in this phase of the study, unrestricted access to the site and structure must be secured and provided prior to execution of the effort described.) 2.10 •Subsurface lnvestioation A subsurface investigation will be performed to determine the engineering properties of the site. A complete survey of subsurface conditions will be conducted in order to assess bearing strengths of the soil, to determine the loads that can be supported by the foundation of the structure, and other determinants related to the geotechnical engineering of the site with respect -to the existing structure and future adaptive reuses.. - -- --01 2.20 Construction Drawing Review A complete review of existing construction drawings will be undertaken to assess the structural design and construction of the grain. silo. The review of construction drawings will also reveal areas in thr structure where site inspection and physical analysis of the structure may be required in order to test for sufficient reinforcing, support anc construction conformity with plans and drawings. The construction drawings will be reviewed for conformity and consistency with current engineering principles and codes required for multistory structures. 2.30 Site Inspection The interior and exterior foundation, wall and roof structures will be inspected for deformities, fatigue and failures in engineering and existing construction. The site inspection will be conducted by a three- man team of engineers, and include a complete site and structural survey of the grain silo. 2.40 Physical Analysis of Structure In support of the previous analyses proposed for this phase of the study, core samples of construction materials to supporting elements of the structure will be taken and laboratory tested. The laboratory tests are necessary to assess the existing structure's ability to support new construction that will be -required to accommodate a multistory adaptive reuse, and to withstand the estimated live loads, wind loads and shear forces that will be exerted upon it. Approximately six concrete cores from the wall will need to be extracted from the structure In order to .r make these assessments. Larger openings of up to 3 feet by b feet may be required to confirm the existing reinforcement arrangement. 2-02 t 2_._50 Structural Feasibility Conclusions and Recommendations Prior to conducting market and financial feasibility analyses, it is necessary to determine whether the existing structure will support multistory adaptive reuses. This phase of the study will generate valuable technical information from which assessments of future use can be determined. Conclusions regarding the structures ability to support multistory activities and withstand the imposed and natural forces exerted on it will be forwarded. Recommendations as to whether additional reinforcing, support or construction is required to realize the full potential of the structure will also be proposed. SECTION 3.00 MARKET FEASIBILITY If the conclusion of the structural feasibility study is that the existing grain silo structure can be adapted to successfully support multistory activities, the second phase of the feasibility analysis will focus on the potential economic markets and income producing activities that can be sustaineol at this site. Included in the market feasibility study are: an analKis c` current and future population, income and market characteristics with respect to the City of Lubbock, the regional area, and the neightorrjood surrounding the site; the identification of trends in land use and potential markets; an assessment of the location of the site with resoect to supporting markets already in-place.and those being planned and an assessment of the location of the site relative to the existing and preoosed infrastructure and transportation systems. The result of the market feasibility study will be recommendations for action and development based on -hose market conditions that will contribute to the highest and best adlaptive reuse of the grain silo site. 3.10 Demooraoh i c and Consurner Profiles A complete profile and forecast of population and economic characteristics, corrnosition and distribution will be undertaken to determine the type, aagni=udhe, frequency and consistency of buying and spending potential for ?udbock and the West Texas region. Considerations will be given to income, disposable income. the propensity to spend that income, and on what typo`s of products, services and activities. This component of•the r.arket study wiII 8'i so seek to quantify consumer preferences locally end regionally.' 3.20 Market Trend Reports This component of the market feasibility study is designed to iden- tify market trends with respect to commercial office, retail, hotel/.motel, recreation, light/high technology industry, transient (con- vention), and other (housing) activities. Reports will be produced that. identify and assess occupancy rates, Bales receipts, and potential mar- kets that have extensive local and regional drawing power to the site. 3.30 Convention Center Review The existing Lubbock Civic Center and related hotel/motel, restau- rant, tourist and support activities may have a significant impact on the development of the site and, likewise, the adaptive reuse of the grain silo may have a significant impact on these activities. This component of the study will identify and review trends and plans for the Civic Center, and its supporting activities in order to assess the highest and best use of the grain silo site. The intent is to optimize the -poten- tially beneficial relationship that can be created between the Civic Center related activities and the proposed adaptive reuse, thereby cre- ating an economic environment that is beneficial to both developments. 3.40 Transportation Svstem and Infrastructure Review A review of trends and plans in vehicular, rail and _air transportation systems will be undertaken to determine the opportunities and constraints that these systems may have on the identified markets at this site. In addition, land use patterns, service facilities, neighborhood amenities, utilities and other opportunities and constraints with respect to infrastructure will 'also be assessed in this component of the study. 3-02 1 3.50 Market Feasibility Conclusions and Recommendations The types of income producing activities that can be supported by local and regional markets at this site, and the scale of activity that can be developed to capture these markets will be identified as a result of this market feasibility study. Conclusions regarding the number of square feet of different types of income producing activities that can be supported will be forwarded. Recommendations will be made that address the actions that will be necessary to enhance existing market conditions in order to optimize the potential of the adaptive reuse. In addition to the identification of potential adaptive reuses of the grain silo site, absorption rates and impacts for.activities will be projected and a summary of related market opportunities will be produced. Conclusions and recommendations from the market feasibility study. will be directed towards an identification of the highest and best adaptive reuse for the site. SECTION 4.00 FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY A financial feasibility analysis will be based on the proposed use of the structure. This phase of the study, therefore, will be contingent on the results of the engineering and market feasibility studies detailed in Section 2.00 and 3.00 of this prop sal. For the income producing adaptive reuses th3t are determined to be feasible based on the market study, the financial feasibility study will identify and assess: the types of public and private financing strategies that can be used to support the development and operation of the new use; the economic costs and benefits associated with the proposed use and related financing strategies; and the potential roles that public, civic and private participants might have in the adaptive reuse of the structure. 4.10 Identification of Financing Proorams This effort will identify and examine public programs that.can be used, either independently or in conjunction with private sources, to finance the adaptive reuse recommended as a result of the market study. In addition, private funding sources and individuals will be identified and the extent and form of their participation in the financing of the development and/or operation of the reuse assessed. 4.20 Forecasted Potential Revenues, Expenses and Operatinq Income A technical analysis will be conducted to identify potential revenues and expenses in order to forecast operating income for the recommended reuse. The forecast wl),4' consist of a cash flow analysis which will incorporate a ratio ana-l'ysis and internal rate of return analysis. The type and format of the information generated by this forecast will be compatible with those that are required by most lending institutions who might be interested in financially assisting in the development of this structure. This technical analysis will be conducted for both the initial construction period as well as the near term operating period. 4.30 Financial Feasibility Conclusions and Recommendations The examination of the types of financing that are available to support an adaptive reuse and the technical financial feasibility of the reuse will provide valuable information with which to address the quest 1on of what is financially possible with respect to the adaptive reuse of the grain silo. Resulting from this third, and final, phase of the study, conclusions would be forwarded regarding the economic and financial prospects for the proposed development. -Recommendations will focus on marketing, development and implementation financing."packages that can accommodate the type of proposed adaptive reuse. The financing mechanisms that are recommended will also identify opportunities and the responsibilities for both city, neighborhood and private participation in •the adaptive reuse of the grain silo. _ '-02 r SECTION 5.00 EUMET DETAIL 5.10 Personnel Project Coordination Robert J.
