Mr. Carl Littrell, PE <br />SB Memorial Hospital <br />March 30, 2010 <br />o Vertical Expansion - The parking structure was originally designed to accommodate a one -level <br />expansion. With the additional weight on the spandrels, the ability to expand vertically without <br />foundation reinforcement may be eliminated. <br />o Building Code - The current design is based on the 2003 Indiana Building Code (2003 <br />International Building Code). The current Indiana Building Code has adopted the 2006 <br />International Building Code, and it will be necessary to review the design impact of the more <br />recent code. <br />o Lateral Loads - Our review of the 2003 Indiana Building Code confirmed that reinforcement of <br />the lateral load system due to upgraded building code seismic design requirements was not <br />necessary. This conclusion will be verified with respect to the current Indiana Building Code, and <br />we propose to retain the services of our code consultant to assist with this determination. <br />o Elevator (Southwest) - The 2006 design considered the addition of the new elevator in the <br />southwest corner of the parking structure. <br />o Stair Tower (Southwest) - With the addition of the new elevator, it was previously agreed that the <br />existing southwest stair tower would not be reconfigured. Furthermore, we do not anticipate <br />upgrading the stair fagade. <br />• Continued Hospital Operations - It will be important to maintain the Hospital's parking operations <br />during construction, with an emphasis on continued parking (uninterrupted access), dust, noise, <br />fumes, etc. <br />0 • Construction Delivery - We understand that the City will competitively bid this work, using the <br />traditional design, bid, and construct approach. <br />• <br />o Anticipated Construction Cost - The estimate of construction cost will be confirmed during the <br />Design Update Phase. The construction manager reported that the cost of this work (hard bids <br />taken) was approximately $700,000 in 2007. <br />PROJECT APPROACH <br />Carl Walker proposes to provide our services based on the attached scope of services provided in <br />Exhibit B. <br />PRELIMINARY PROJECT SCHEDULE <br />Task Schedule <br />Design Update April 1, 2010 thru May 7, 2010 <br />Bidding & Contractor Award May 10 thru June 4, 2010 <br />Construction June 21 thru September 10, 2010 <br />We estimate the time of construction to be 12 weeks, depending on phasing requirements. <br />-3- <br />
