Rodriguez noted that the project must meet specific provincial standards for minimum acceptable room sizes for senior tenants at the new retirement home, building safety, and other concerns. Colliers has also been working with an advisory committee, which the UCPR set for the project, and has tried to determine what the cost would be UPJODMVEFTPNFPGUIFDPNNJUUFFTSFDPN - mendations in the overall building design. How much for the project? Total cost for the project is more than $75 million for a 224-bed facility, but the provincial government will cover about 30 per cent of the total project construction cost. The UCPR plans to finance its share of the project through an Infrastructure Ontario loan, over a 25-year period. The base case annual budget scenario for the UCPR, for paying back the loan, is about $7.4 million each year. If some or all PGUIFDPNNJUUFFTTVHHFTUJPOTCFDBNFQBSU of the final project design, it would mean an extra $3.5 million to $5 million added to the total project cost. That would push up UIF6$13TBOOVBMMPBOSFQBZNFOUQMBOUP between $8 million and about $8.1 million over 25 years.
Both Rodrigues and UCPR Chief Admi- nistrator Stéphane Parisien emphasized that council has the final say about whe- ther to stick with the base case project cost scenario, or to agree to either Option 1 or Option 2, which would include some PSBMMPGUIFBEWJTPSZDPNNJUUFFTEFTJHO recommendations. “This is not a slash-and-burn (plan) done by the design committee,” said Rodrigues. “This is a long, detailed process where we had a first estimate, then a second, and OPXBUIJSE uBEEFE1BSJTJFOi/PXXFOFFE DPVODJMTEJSFDUJPOXIFUIFSPSOPUUPHPXJUI a fourth estimate.” Parisien also noted that the new Resi- dence facility will have a working lifespan of at least four decades.
