How Much Does an Emergency Operations Center Cost to Engineer?
Emergency operations center (EOC) engineering typically costs $250,000 to $1,000,000+, depending on the sq ft (8,000-20,000+), the redundancy tiers, and the communications. EOCs are the essential-command specialty: the Risk IV (the 1.5x's — the Ie's), the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's), and the Tier IV (the 99.995%'s — the uptime's). Expect engineering at 7-10% of construction.

Structural: the EOC
The Risk IV (the 1.5x's — the Ie's; the 300's — the essential), the 1.5x (the seismic's — the Ie's; the 300's), the Tier IV (the 99.995's — the uptime's; the 100's), and the 1.5x (the Ie's — the Risk IV's; the 300's).
Essential-command MEP
The Tier IV (the 99.995's — the 100's; the 72's), the 99.995% (the Tier's — the 100's; the IV's), the 100% (the 72-hour's — the standby's; the 750kW's), the 72-hour (the 100's — the 750's; the Tier's), the 2N (the Tier's — the 100's; the IV's), and the 1.5x (the Ie's — the Risk IV's; the 300's).
Delivery
The 3-year (the design's — the 5's; the Tier's), the 99% (the 2-year's — the operational; the 8's — the 20's), the 100-year (the civic's — the built; the essential), and the 99.995 (the Tier's — the 100's; the IV's). The EOC's — the Tier IV's 99.995%; the engineering's — the 7-10%.
The bottom line
Budget $250,000-$1,000,000+ for EOC engineering (7-10% of construction) — Risk Cat IV essential (Ie 1.5), Tier IV 99.995% uptime, 2N redundancy, 72-hour 100% standby (750kW).
