Re: Morris PAC Renovation, Addition and Site Amendment
Dear Aaron:
As we are completing our Preliminary Design Phase scope of services, we have the
following Amendment to make to our current Project Scope and Fee as we request approval
to proceed with the Final Design Phase. Amended items are noted in italics and underlined
as the following:
PROJECT SCOPE
The project consists of major renovations and additions to South Bend’s MPAC facility and
grounds bounded to the north by West Lasalle Ave, to the east by Doctor M.L.K. Jr. Blvd, to
the south by West Colfax Ave and to the west by North Main Street. The scope breaks down
into four major components. These components include MPAC renovations, a building
addition, re-visioned Jon Hunt Memorial Plaza, and a parking lot. The construction budget
for the total project including all four components is $18.30M. The Concept Design for these
components is further updated in the Preliminary Design Progress Package dated July 11,
2022.
MPAC Renovation at connection point only
Component one consists of connecting to the existing MPAC building. This includes the first
and second floor connection and the immediate impact to the current space. It will impact an
existing restroom and finish transitions to the existing space. It also impacts the basement
with a new stair for connection to the first floor. All other components of capital
improvements and deferred maintenance will be handled by others. The probable
construction cost for this component is included in the Building Addition cost.
Building Addition
Component two consists of an addition to the MPAC. This addition is envisioned as a 21,100
GSF, 2-story, structure with an addition to the basement that includes the following program.
The probable construction cost for this component is $12.88M.
The initial conceptual program for building addition includes:
• Entries / security on two levels
• Lobby / pre-function / sky lounge over two levels
• Vertical circulation
• Openings into the existing MPAC lobby on two levels
• Future Tenant Space
• Catering Prep Area
• Sensory Room
• VIP Lounge
• Restrooms
• Storage
• Second Floor Balcony
• Other non-assignable space (Mech)
Jon Hunt Memorial Plaza
Component three consists of improvements to the Jon Hunt Memorial Plaza. The probable
construction cost for this component is $4.50M. This includes:
• An enlarged plaza space including a fountain and a garden room space that can
accommodate event day programming.
• Vehicular drop-off along Colfax Ave.
• Cohesive site design with building addition
Surface Parking Lot
Component four is making revisions to the existing surface parking lot adjacent to the Morris.
All the parking, approximately 86 spaces, will be utilized for the LaSalle apartment building
to the north. The probable construction cost for this component is $0.92M.
DESIGN SERVICES
RATIO, along with its consultants, will provide Design Services including program
verification, design, construction documentation, bidding phase interpretations, cost
estimating, and construction phase administrative services for the four components outlined
above. These services are described in the City of South Bend’s Standard Agreement
Between Owner And Engineer For Professional Services, 2007 Edition with some mutually
agreed upon terms/modifications/amendments.
RATIO will serve as the Design Architect and will be the contracting entity with the City of
South Bend. Shive-Hattery will serve as the Executive Architect and will be a consultant to
RATIO. Both the Design Architect and the Executive Architect will provide design services
during all phases of the project with the Design Architect leading the design phases and the
Executive Architect leading the documentation and construction phases.
Basic Design Services will include architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering,
mechanical/plumbing/electrical engineering, code consultant and cost estimating. Specialty
Design Services will include technology/audio-visual design, landscape architecture, interior
design, furniture, fixtures & equipment (FF&E) selection services, lighting design and
acoustic design. Selection of the engineering and specialty consultants have been
completed collaboratively with the involvement of the City of South Bend, the Executive
Architect, and RATIO.
Three cost opinions are estimated; one for Schematic Design, Design Development and
Construction Documentation phases.
Exclusions are listed below, but can be made available as additional services if requested:
• Wayfinding and signage, other than code required signage.
• Hazardous materials investigations and reports.
• Commissioning.
• USGBC LEED credit tracking and application.
• Coordination of laser scan survey of existing conditions.
• Record documents.
Up to Five (5) level one visualizations are included in the Reimbursable Expenses. These
views will capture interior and exterior views for client review, comment, and use. Additional
visualizations and/or more refined views may be provided as additional service as described
below:
Visualizations may be provided at three levels of quality. Representative examples for each
level of quality can be provided for client reference.
Level one visualizations are intended for studying aspects of the design image from
their native modeling software into a dedicated rendering software. Some exploration
may include textural and lighting options in key spaces, material and color exploration,
and the investigation of scale, proportion, and form.
Level two visualizations produced in dedicated rendering software and are meant to
provide an understanding to stakeholders about the design. These visualizations include
refined materiality, representative lighting levels, and reflectivity. They also incorporate
entourage to give stakeholders a human scale.
Level three visualizations are best used for publications and other media outlets at the
specific request of our clients. These photorealistic renderings requiring heavy post-
production show accurate depiction of materials, lighting, environmental conditions, and
site context.
