Re: Ignition Park -Data Realty Facade Design
South Bend, IN
Dear Geri:
It is a pleasure for BSA LifeStructures to submit a proposal for the architectural and engineering
design services required to develop the fagade of the new Data Realty building. We will further
study the preferred design option (a view of which is attached to the proposal), work with a
contractor to develop pricing for the option, and then to fully design and engineer construction
documents for the fagade which will be part of a fagade grant paid for by the City of South Bend.
Our services specifically will include:
Architectural Design — of and relating to the fagade only.
Civil Design — related to the rain garden basin.
Structural Design — as required to support the new fagade.
MEP Design — for plumbing and lighting design related to the facade.
For the purposes of this proposal, fagade is defined as the metal panel form that shields portions
of the existing fagade, becomes a canopy structure at the main entrance and that makes up the
screen wall around the roof mounted mechanical equipment. Included in the fagade is the design
of the curtainwall around the office portion of the building and the sun shading devices required to
screen out the low western sun.
For the fagade design, BSA LifeStructures would propose the following fee:
Full service Design to the extent outlined above $67,000
Signage Design (on the building fagade only) $ 5,000
Reimbursable Allowance (travel and other standard reimbursables)* $ 5,000
Total Fee (maximum) $77,500
Veimbursables will be billed as part of the base fee up to the $5,000 maximum.

If BSA LifeStructures were to be hired by Data Realty for full architectural design, the fee for this
project could be reduced to SV,,5M due to reduced coordination on the project.
The schedule for the project we understand is fairly aggressive and we will work with Data
Realty's architects and engineers to make the fagade addition as painless as possible while
keeping the overall project on schedule.
If the above - referenced fee is acceptable for the work outlined, BSA LifeStructures will require an
executed short form letter agreement which will be sent after all parties agree to the scope and
fee. We would like to thank you for this opportunity to assist your organization in ignitinglife
sciences growth in downtown South Bend and look forward to working with you in the future.
Thanks again.
Sincerely,
