Mr. Jitin Kain February 22, 2022 July 25, 2022 Page 2 2022.00343 BUILDING The proposal is based on evaluating the 6-story, approximately 59,421 SF facility that is currently controlled/operated by the South Bend Community School Corporation (SBCSC) for use by the City of South Bend for their office needs. The concrete frame is assumed to be in good condition and the exterior was last renovated back in 2006 when the SBCSC acquired the facility. They City would like to see an architectural review of the exterior entryway along with façade maintenance needs. It is our understanding for the purpose of this proposal that: 1.American Structurepoint and Ross & Baruzzini will perform a site visit to perform a property condition assessment (PCA) with focus on existing HVAC equipment through the building. That information will be used to generate an opinion of probable costs for renovation work proposed (or required). Email from Jitin on Tuesday, March 1, 2022 indicated that the City of South Bend has engaged Terracon to perform these PCAs on this and other City-controlled facilities. We will review the PCA report when available (estimated by end of April). 2.PrecisionPoint will be engaged through American Structurepoint to provide 3D Laser Scanning and 3D Modeling services for the development of an existing conditions BIM (Building Information Model). Their proposal dated March 8, 2022 is attached as an exhibit for scope reference, but their fees are reflected further in this proposal. 3.American Structurepoint will perform user group meetings (or issue questionnaires) with various City Departments to generate an overall program document the effectively use for space planning (blocking diagrams to show which department could be located on existing floors). A third party cost model will be established to generally establish budgets for any proposed renovations to facility the space plan needs. The project scope includes the following phases for this project. 1.Building PCA and Evaluations 3D Laser Scanning and 3D Modeling Services (through PrecisionPoint) 2.User Group Meeting/Questionnaire for Programming 3.Space Planning (conceptual blocking diagrams) DESIGN SERVICES American Structurepoint will provide the professional services to complete the project as identified under the scope of professional services. We have assumed after completion and budgeting of this first phase of work, a subsequent proposal amendment can be submitted for the balance of the design services (i.e. Design Development, Construction Documents along with Bidding/Permitting and Construction Administration). PROJECT SCHEDULE A proposed detailed project schedule will be developed based on the City of South Bend review process along with timing of SBCSC’s relocation to another facility. Since this project will have several phases and submittals, the overall schedule may be impacted by the response time of the city and state agencies. Initial understanding is that SBCSC plans to move out by Fall end of 2022, so ideally CDs would be ready to bid and award prior to the end of 2022. That would allow renovation work to commence in early 2023 fall of 2022 as SBCSC moves out with that scope of work to be determined, but the City would envision being able to move into the space (likely phased per floor) at some point in 2023.
