With the staff and spatial information developed in the Facility Space Programing plan options can <br />be developed that address current and projected spatial planning options. <br />1. Planning Option Development and Analysis <br />The goal of this effort is to clearly determine the range of solutions capable of meeting the <br />City's long range facility needs. Planning options will be focused on developing the most <br />efficient and appropriate department facility planning concepts. We work with the City to <br />identify planning options. These planning options will be developed as long-range Master <br />Plans clearly showing current needs, anticipated expansions over the next 15 years. <br />The planning options will be developed through concept plans and be analyzed for <br />efficiency, future expansion, and needs met. We will review the development of the planning <br />options with Public Works and the City leadership. The analysis of each option will include a <br />study of advantages, operational constraints, staffing efficiency, safety and security, and <br />long-term serviceability. <br />E. Mater Plan Implementation Schedule <br />With each study we work with our client's project goals, fiscal requirements, and timeframe to <br />develop a project implementation schedule that represents the task and time associated with <br />reviews, approvals, design and construction of potential projects. The initial steps may involve <br />finalizing approvals to proceed, once the project is authorized, there are a series of design and <br />review meetings with the client and the user groups to explore every item—from wall systems to <br />mechanical systems, to hoist options to flag location. The design documents evolve into construction <br />documents that are then used for bidding, permits and construction. <br />These steps and associated timeframes based on size and complexity of the project are graphically <br />shown in a Gantt chart. This preliminary schedule provides a clear understanding of the steps and <br />timeframe involved in your proposed project. <br />F. Cost Assessment <br />All projects must balance needs with cost efficiency in their ultimate solution. The cost -to benefit <br />analysis for the value of options is crucial in a government planning. Feasible planning options will <br />be evaluated based on costs associated with each. Capital (construction) costs, project costs (fees, <br />etc.) and any unique operation costs will be evaluated to identify comparative values for each of the <br />solution options. <br />Based on the possible building materials, size and types of systems a preliminary construction <br />budget will be determined. In addition to construction cost, project soft cost can be estimated. Some <br />of the typical types of soft costs associated with a project are: <br />1. Architectural / Engineering Fees <br />2. Survey / Topography <br />3. CM / Project Management / Owner's Representative Fees <br />4. FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment) <br />5. SAC / WAC (Sewer and Water Connection Fees) <br />6. Plan Review & Permit Fee <br />7. Bid Advertising Cost <br />8. Testing (Geo Technical, Construction) <br />9. Document Printing <br />10. Utility Re -Routing <br />11. Soil Remediation (if required) <br />12. Mechanical Systems Commissioning / Monitoring <br />13. Builders Risk Insurance <br />14. Data / Telecom Wiring <br />15.
