and construction style, the Redwood City Fox. The materials and
construction methods would match the existing materials and
methods, except where new materials could mimic the existing
materials at a lower cost. Historical features were replaced
with new equivalents, not replicated. The artwork (mainly
painted murals) was not replaced. No allowance was made in the
Adamson report for the historical value of any item in the
Redwood City Fox, nor was allowance made for depreciation of the
property. In summary, the replacement building estimated in the
Adamson report would be completely new, with finishes and
fixtures of similar style and character to the existing property,
would be functionally identical to the existing Redwood City Fox,
but would have no historical value.
The Adamson estimate was based on the total direct
construction costs of 16 components: (1) Foundations; (2)
vertical structural members; (3) floors and roofs; (4) exterior
cladding; (5) roofing and waterproofing; (6) interior partitions;
(7) floor, wall and ceiling finishes; (8) building
function/specialties and equipment;22 (9) vertical
transportation; (10) plumbing; (11) heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning; (12) electrical; (13) fire protection; (14) site
preparation; (15) site development; and (16) utilities. Added to
22 Under the component “8. Specialties and Equipment” for
the theater, a quantity of 760 seats at a cost of $350.00 per
seat was used to calculate the cost of seating.
