The focus of the study is the model and verbal proposal presented by the Shaver x ' Partnership in response to the program developed by Key and Company. EVALUATION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS ' The condition of the various elements of the existing Memorial Hall building will be evaluated and their suitability for continued use in accordance with the renovation proposed by the Shaver Partnership will ' be assessed. These elements will include the structural framing system, roof, exterior face brick, windows and doors, stairs and elevator, interior finishes, ceilings, floors, walls, and mechanical ' and electrical systems. Particular attention will be given to their suitability for a projected additional 30-40 year building life and to a detailed structural investigation. ' PROGRAM COMPLIANCE The proposal for the reuse of Memorial Hall will be evaluated for t compliance to the program requirements as described in the study K prepared by Key and Company. Areas to be investigated include Phase I recreational activities and whether allotted space conforms to regulation sizes. The proposal will also be evaluated for the potential for inclusion of support and ancillary spaces not specifically addressed in the proposal. A careful assessment of the x actual available square footage area contained in the proposal will be made for comparison against total programmed space requirements. The proposal will also be evaluated for how it addresses the programmed parking, site and access requirements. ' CODE COMPLIANCE The proposed modifications to the existing building will be assessed K to identify code related issues. Those issues include building code requirements for handicapped access, exiting and egress, ventilation, fire protection, life safety, structural design, etc. Issues which ' will need to be addressed in the further development of the proposal will be identified. 1 1 • DESIGN ISSUES Design issues which must be addressed in the implementation of the ' proposed reuse of Memorial Hall will be identified. These issues fall into the following categories: ' Architectural : - Provisions for expansion for Phase II programmed uses - Effect on historical value and ' integrity - Utilization efficiency under proposed reuse - Maintenance factors of the existing ' building components due to age and condition - Assessment of functional relation- ' ships expressed in proposal Mechanical & Electrical: - Interface between new and existing systems vs. complete replacement of systems - System selection considerations - Impact of the existing building system components on maintenance and operation ' Structural: - Discussion of the probable long term effect of proposed, modifications to the existing structure's stability - Enhancements of the existing ' structural system that may be necessary to meet current design codes or recommended practice ' - Description of limitation on structural system design imposed by existing building configuration and height or proposed reuse Renovation: - Discussion of possible issues inherent in most renovation projects ' and discussion of their cost-related ramifications. ' Where appropriate, cost factors will be assigned to these issues and included in the following described cost estimate. 1 1 COST ESTIMATE ' An estimate of probable cost based on the proposed modifications to Memorial Hall will be prepared. The cost description will address the issues identified in the sections above and the proposed building ' modifications as described by the Shaver Partnership. The cost estimate will necessarily reflect assumptions made in lieu of detailed design decisions. These assumptions will be based on past experience with renovation projects of a similar scope and on verbal information ' to be obtained from the Shaver Partnership. The cost estimate will address only Phase I program requirements as contained in the Shaver Partnership proposal because of the location of the Memorial Hall and X ' the uncertainty of the appropriateness of the Phase II program functions at the location. ' PROJECTION OF ANNUAL OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE COSTS Annual operating and maintenance cost projections will be estimated and will include the following items: t - utilities (water, gas, electricity) - maintenance (HVAC equipment, lights, general maintenance and ' repair) - programmed capital replacements, based on estimated useful life of specific building system components ' Other cost factors such as personnel, program costs, debt retirement, etc. , will only be included to the extent that information is provided by the City. ' SCOPE LIMITATIONS ' The study described by this scope of services is based on a proposal by the Shaver Partnership which is in the early stages of preliminary design. That proposal is limited to a model and verbal description and it is inherent in that stage of design that many of the issues that will be addressed by this study have not been developed in detail if at all. Therefore, it must be recognized that some assumptions and interpolations must be made that may or may not be confirmed by final design if the Memorial Hall proposal is pursued. 1 1 r = r ' r r r r . r r r r (p r 1 II SCHEDULE AND FEE 1 Bucher, Willis and Ratliff proposes to accomplish the above Scope of Services within thirty (30) days following notice to proceed. This schedule is contingent upon timely receipt of all available 1 information pertaining to the existing building and the proposed renovations including suitable copies of the original structural plans of the building and verbal descriptions of assumptions made by the Shaver Partnership during development of their proposal. It is assumed this information will be provided as needed and without cost to Bucher, Willis and Ratliff. 1 The estimated fee for the above proposed Scope of Services is Thirty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($32,500) and is subject to verification by Bucher, Willis and Ratliff following discussions of 1 the proposed scope with the City of Salina. This fee includes the labor and materials Bucher, Willis and Ratliff believes necessary to accomplish the described scope but does not include any soil or other investigative tests that may be deemed appropriate during the course 1 of the study. The estimated fee reflects the following relative input of the disciplines involved: 1 Architectural 30% Mechanical and Electrical Engineering 30% Structural Engineering 50% 1 100% 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 • I . .
