Mr. Carl Littrell, PE SB Memorial Hospital March 30, 2010 o Vertical Expansion -The parking structure was originally designed to accommodate aone-level expansion. With the additional weight on the spandrels, the ability to expand vertically without foundation reinforcement may be eliminated. o Building Code -The current design is based on the 2003 Indiana Building Code (2003 International Building Code). The current Indiana Building Code has adopted the 2006 International Building Code, and it will be necessary to review the design impact of the more recent code. o Lateral Loads -Our review of the 2003 Indiana Building Code confirmed that reinforcement of the lateral load system due to upgraded building code seismic design requirements was not necessary. This conclusion will be verified with respect to the current Indiana Building Code, and we propose to retain the services of our code consultant to assist with this determination. o Elevator (Southwest) -The 2006 design considered the addition of the new elevator in the southwest corner of the parking structure. o Stair Tower (Southwest) -With the addition of the new elevator, it was previously agreed that the existing southwest stair tower would not be reconfigured. Furthermore, we do not anticipate upgrading the stair facade. o Continued Hospital Operations - It will be important to maintain the Hospital's parking operations during construction, with an emphasis on continued parking (uninterrupted access), dust, noise, fumes, etc. o Construction Delivery - We understand that the City will competitively bid this work, using the traditional design, bid, and construct approach. o Anticipated Construction Cost -The estimate of construction cost will be confirmed during the Design Update Phase. The construction manager reported that the cost of this work (hard bids taken) was approximately $700,000 in 2007. PROJECT APPROACH Carl Walker proposes to provide our services based on the attached scope of services provided in Exhibit B. PRELIMINARY PROJECT SCHEDULE Task Schedule Design Update April 1, 2010 thru May 7, 2010 Bidding 8~ Contractor Award May 10 thru June 4, 2010 Construction June 21 thru September 10, 2010 We estimate the time of construction to be 12 weeks, depending on phasing requirements.
