IrI QERTEL ARCHITECTS B. SCOPE OF PERFORMANCE/ SCHEDULE identified as necessary at this stage, we would have to evaluate the design impacts, additional fee considerations and impact on the total project budget with Ramsey and RJM. SCHEMATIC AND DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE Week of February 17 - March 23, 2020 (6 weeks) Because of our depth of experience in the design and construction of Public Works facilities, our initial concept plans will already be developed to a higher level of detail than typically expected for this phase of the project. As such, we are proposing that the traditional schematic design and design development phases be executed as one stage. This will allow the design team to get into the details early and often with staff and RJM. During this phase, building system engineers for structural, mechanical and electrical will begin to describe building systems for scoping initial cost estimates, and designing specific components to help influence detailed space layouts, accounting for structural components, mechanical and electrical equipment layouts, and space needs including necessary clearances. As the deliverable for this phase, Ramsey and RJM will receive a design drawing set that would be approximately 35% or more complete. This set will have the majority of the civil, site and landscape design elements determined, building floor plans, exterior elevations and 3-dimensional imagery, general building sections, initial wall sections and construction details and building system narratives from structural, mechanical and electrical engineers to begin a more detailed construction cost estimate. Towards the end of this phase is where we foresee having to update city council on the progress of the design. Thus, we have included the development of 3-dimensional graphics and presentations in the deliverables. These are very powerful tools to RAMSEY PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY PP(' ' explain the design and impact on the area. Given the site location and surrounding areas, we don't foresee a significant need for neighborhood meetings or updates. Because the schedule for your project requires an early bid pack for site work and structural construction, the design development portion of this phase is very heavily loaded with time and effort from our team members to execute the design quickly. Though these buildings are industrial in nature, there is a significant amount of coordination and detail that have to be evaluated and considered at this phase to make sure the set of bid documents obtains the most representative price for the project and ensures as smooth a construction process as possible. To meet the demands of the schedule and the scope of this project, Oertel Architects is including two design architects to coordinate the work. As we have evaluated your anticipated schedule, we are anticipating overlap of phase durations to ensure that critical timelines are met. To accomplish this, our two project architects will focus on specific tasks and portions of the project to make sure that progress is maintained. Andrew Cooper and Thomas Stromsodt have been working closely on projects at Oertel Architects for nearly 18 years. They have dozens of executed building projects between them, have extensive experience in programming and planning large public works facility projects, and have experience working with construction managers, specifically RJM on various projects as well. Andrew Cooper will manage the project in general and be the primary contact for RJM and the City of Ramsey. He will manage the overall design process and focus at the beginning on the programming, planning, and overall design of the facility. As the project progresses, he will focus on keeping the project moving forward, meeting schedule goals and monitoring project costs and development with RJM and the City of Ramsey. Andrew will be the
