II-1 Understanding of Project and Tasks NSA BENEFITS

We believe that NSA is uniquely qualified and best suited to provide DTMB quality services and quality value/benefits due to the following reasons: • Experience and Track Record – Specifically with “Task Order Management“ and “On- Call AE Services”, we

have executed projects throughout the state of Michigan, as well as outside Michigan. We have a long history of successful projects and satisfied, repeat clients as indicated below, and by the project experience submitted.

• Government/Municipal Experience – Since our founding in 1960, NSA has provided Architectural and Engineering services to various municipalities and government agencies. Municipalities that we have provided professional services for include; City of Dearborn (for over 50 years), City of Novi, City of Livonia, City of Southgate, City of Plymouth, and Grosse Isle Township. Government experience includes; Taylor Armory (for the DTMB/DMVA), Whiteman AFB, Selfridge AFB, Joint Base Charleston, NC; the U.S. Embassy in Doha, Qatar, and the Al Udeid Air Force Base, Qatar.

• Firm Size – NSA has the staff stability and resources to handle the largest projects, as well as the ability to respond to and handle small projects.

• Response – NSA has experience in responding to “On Call “requests quickly and meeting the client’s schedule. Our firm culture is to provide our clients with the same level of dedication, no matter the size or nature of the project.

• Direct Principal Involvement – Hands on involvement by the Principals of NSA. Every project, no matter the size, has a Principal involved who is responsible for the success of the project.

• Quality Program – NSA organizes operations through a Quality Operating System (QOS), which is based upon ISO 9001 Standards, a proactive management system aimed at continual growth in the quality of firm operations. NSA’s QOS is integrated into all aspects of the firm, creating an environment that encourages improvement in procedures, and an attitude for seeking a better way to do things.

EXPERIENCE Since our founding in 1960, NSA has become recognized as a firm committed to architectural excellence and quality. In that time, we have repeatedly demonstrated an ability to develop creative solutions to complex unique technical challenges often associated with major renovation projects. One of our core specialties has been exceptional skills in additions and renovation projects. These renovation skills were refined and proven early on in our extensive history of work with Ford Motor Company on buildings built in the early 1920’s through the next eight decades. Renovation projects include the Ford Motor Co. Rouge Plant, Greenfield Village, the Dearborn Inn, the Guardian Building, and K-12 educational facilities; just to name a few. The projects range in construction cost from $10,000 to $50,000,000 and are extremely diverse. They include minor/major interior renovations, facilities maintenance upgrades which include replacement of HVAC, roof replacements, and parking lot rehabilitation. NSA has extensive experience with “Task Order Management”. We have over a 50 year history in which we have gained multiple “blanket/task order” long term contracts. We have personnel experienced with multi-project task management skills and we utilize our quality management system to track and update our processes to ensure a successful project completion. NSA is an “On-Call Preferred Vendor“ with long term clients such as DTE Energy, Universities (Wayne State University, Eastern Michigan University), Municipalities (City of Dearborn, City of Novi), Telecommunications (Verizon Wireless, Comcast Cable) and Automotive (Chrysler, GM). NSA has managed /executed myriad of projects for two of our clients, DTE Energy and Verizon Wireless, which maintain facilities throughout the State of Michigan. Our Firm culture is to be responsive, on time, and on budget. This is a direct result of working with clients where response, being on time and within budget, is paramount in the way they do business.

II-1 Understanding of Project and Tasks office buildings, interior renovations, roof replacements, and lighting replacements. See the detailed Federal

Government Project Sheet attached at the end of this section. A/E PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHOD AND SYSTEMS We utilize a project management system based upon the International ISO 9000 Quality Management System. All of the project’s key phases, Programming, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation, Bid/Award, and Construction follow established procedures and work instructions. This system ensures that coordination efforts take place and promotes a “team” effort with effective communication and clear lines of authority throughout the project duration. The following “generic” outline of the proposed project’s anticipated Work Plan initiatives is offered for your review. The Work Plan is in alignment with our QOS procedures. It is our intent to align this work plan, tasks with DTMB contractual required services. Programming We understand the critical importance programming has in the budgeting, design, and construction process and ultimately, the successful long-term operation of a facility. It is with this understanding that we have developed a highly collaborative programming process using on-site workshops (if desired) and real-time computer simulation of qualitative and quantitative criteria. Led by core program specialists, we involve the client's management and user groups, along with our design, architectural, engineering and cost professionals, in a process proven on projects of diverse size and technical complexity. The process of identifying facility needs, developing cost effective options to accommodate those needs and proposed solutions to the various stakeholders, include the development of a programming methodology based on upon individual project requirements. These requirements are established by interaction with the Design Team during pre- programming meetings. Typical topics discussed are the following: • Defining the primary drivers, such as budget, timing, quality and stakeholders issues. • Establishing an understanding of the programming process outcome with the Design Team participants. • Gathering and analyzing available data from earlier group actions related to physical plant, and stakeholders

needs. Pre-Programming • Discuss and agree with the client (owner, stakeholders) on process, ground rules and responsibilities. • Define with the client the necessary program content. • Collect, organize, review and verify previous data on the project. • Define additional program information needed and source of information. • Establish information gathering priorities. • Define Programming Team; orient the members to the programming methodology and the Team

responsibilities. • Schedule meetings. Programming • Gather information. • Analyzing, evaluate, correlate, and organize information. • Document results. • Test needs against budget. • Extract planning and design implications. • Review planning assumptions with client (stakeholders).

Section II-Part I-Technical

II-1 Understanding of Project and Tasks We would recommend an order of magnitude cost estimate based on historical costs per square foot be done at

the conclusion of the programming phase or as developed by the CM/GC if available. The purpose of this cost estimate will be to ensure that the projected square footage is achievable within the established budget. Schematic Design Upon project initiation the primary focus will be on review, development, and validation of the presently established programming objectives of all the various occupants and departmental functions. NSA will champion the process of identifying and coordinating all programming elements, conceptually developing design solutions, and reviewing the recommended design(s) with you for final acceptance prior to initiation of the Design Development Phase of work. Design approaches will utilize your standard systems. This will include a review of all aspects of the project: architectural features, spatial requirements, site logistics such as parking and entrance relationships, security and alarm systems, new mechanical and electrical systems, and other specialty systems such as communications, data processing facilities, CCTV, and other low voltage systems. The provided budget will be reviewed to form a project estimate from which to proceed toward further schematic design development. Additional design enhancements or potential program adjustments can then be incorporated as appropriate in complete adherence to project construction budgets. NSA anticipates the schematic design effort to involve numerous meetings with DTMB staff over the course of the schematic design process. Specific major tasks during this phase of work will include:

1. Scope validation and programming meetings. 2. Field inspections of existing site and building systems. 3. Review of current building codes to identify program-required code related system influences. 4. Exploration of various architectural, structural, mechanical, fire protection, and electrical systems including

controls, security systems, etc. 5. Development of concept sketches and system descriptions. 6. Review of probable construction cost estimate to identify any changes needed to maintain alignment of

program requirements within established construction budgets. Design Development Upon DTMB acceptance of the schematic design and resolution of any and all outstanding issues, NSA will proceed into the detailed design development of all project aspects. The primary focus of this effort will be to initiate development of the eventual bid documents including drawings and specifications for review and concurrence by DTMB. The deliverable product of this effort will be a document set that represents a state of completion of 60% for both drawings and specifications. The design development phase will vary based on the complexity of the project. Specific major tasks during this phase of work will include:

1. Development of bid documents for all disciplines including drawings and outline specifications consistent with the approved schematic design documents.

2. Preparation of any code variances for submittal to appropriate authorities. 3. Conductance of periodic progress meetings with the DTMB to maintain alignment of NSA designs with

DTMB approved design development documentation. 4. Updating of the estimate to demonstrate adherence to project budget objectives identified during the

schematic design initiatives. 5. Present and review the design development documents with DTMB for eventual acceptance.

II-1 Understanding of Project and Tasks

Construction Document Phase Upon receipt and resolution of DTMB Design Development review comments, NSA will proceed to complete the construction documentation (plans and specifications) of the projects for bid issuance. All documentation will be coordinated and completed consistent with the bidding and construction industry and NSA ISO 9000 standards. Specific major tasks during this phase of work will include:

1. Completion of all bid documents including drawings and specifications for each bid package. 2. Conductance of a final field survey by all design disciplines for purposes of final coordination of system

interfaces with existing facilities. 3. Conductance of internal technical and interdisciplinary coordination checks consistent with the NSA Quality

Management System. 4. Issuance of 100% completion documents for final DTMB review. 5. Meeting with DTMB to review and address any comments related to the 100% review issuance, and

preparation of bid documents. 6. Attendance at pre-bid meeting, and assistance to DTMB in evaluating bids as needed. Bid Award Phase Based upon Agreement of Services (or Clients Requirements) 1. Assist with contractor advertisement (if desired). 2. Participate in pre and post bid meetings. 3. Process addendums, RFI’s. 4. Assist with Agreement between Owner and Contractor (if desired). Construction Administration Based upon Agreement of Services (or Clients Requirements) 1. Process AFF’s. 2. Site Visits (per client’s requirements). 3. Process Shop Drawings. 4. Punch out completed work.

II-3 Management Summary, Work Plan, and Schedule

Successful projects are the result of hard work by many individuals, regular and open communication, flexibility, as well as proper planning and execution. Our work plan represents the strategy and necessary work items to define the approach NSA proposes to take in developing the design and engineering of the required for the 2013 Indefinite-Scope Indefinite-Delivery (ISID) contract. It is our understanding that most projects will be minor (below $500,000 total cost) in nature and could include building alterations, additions, various facility upgrades, and special maintenance projects. The plan of action essentially follows the generic phase and task approach outlined by the State of Michigan in the Request for Proposal (RFP) documents, and acknowledges the need to include the work of all seven phases. During all phases of the design development and construction, NSA will serve to coordinate review meetings with the Project Team, generate formal documentation of all project related meetings, site visitations, telephone conversations and other correspondence; and make general distribution to members of the Project Team. The work plan will vary depending on the project type, and disciplines required. The disciplines may include architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering. WORK PLAN PHASE 100 – Study Phase This phase involves the initial analysis of the project requirements and definition of the needs of the Project that would include the gathering of field survey information, review any existing drawings and systems conditions at the facility and a review of the proposed project budget. NSA will begin this process by conducting an Initial Analysis of the overall project scope and requirements of the project. We believe it is important to begin with a broad view to better determine the most effective way to accomplish project objectives. Our analysis will include, but is not limited to: • A preliminary review of the existing project drawings and documentation. • Conduct concise on-site surveys of the existing conditions of the facility and its systems to establish existing

site conditions, and observe and report any visible issues that may need to be addressed. • Preliminary code studies will also be performed to determine compliance with applicable codes. • A preliminary review of the outlined project program to evaluate existing uses and their capacity to support

the program revisions/renovations. This information will serve as a basis for the future development of the project documentation. Project Coordination NSA will meet with the State/DTMB entities to initiate activity, coordinate logistics of communications and field survey activities, review the overall work plan and obtain concurrence of understanding on the project scope, schedule, and budget. NSA will preside over all project meetings, facilitate distribution of all documented communications and design reports, drawings, etc.; and present study documentation for review at the 50% and 90% stages of completion of the study development as well as other times that may be deemed necessary by the client. Research/Field Verification Field surveys will be conducted to establish site conditions, locations and capacities of utilities, and logistical considerations of the overall project. Analysis Analysis will include a summary statement of the project work scope. This will serve as the basis for initial validation of the project scope, estimate of construction cost to facilitate preliminary design development, ensure that cost estimates include the full extent of construction required, and are in alignment with the project construction budget.

Section II – Part I - Technical

II-3 Management Summary, Work Plan, and Schedule

Study Phase Report NSA will prepare a study report including a statement of overall project scope, design, and approach. The result of the Phase 100- Study Phase work effort will be the issuance of the study report conveying the conceptual approach of the project, identifying design issues that may require further review and examination of alternatives and validating the feasibility of the project within budgetary limits. The study report will be issued for review at the 50% and 90% stages of completion as well as other times that may be deemed necessary by the client. PHASE 200 – Program Analysis Upon review and approval of the Initial Analysis, NSA will proceed to further define the overall project scope and requirements through a detailed review of the existing conditions in relation to formal programmatic needs, based on the project complexity that may include site features (if required), interior spaces, and any special features of the project. The conceptual construction cost estimate will be reviewed and the feasibility validated to complete the project within current budget constraints and prompt consideration of value engineering/value added measures to contain costs while continuing to meet the project objectives. The final outcome of the Phase 200 activity will be the generation and presentation of a Program Statement/Analysis for review and approval. The National Guard Design Guide will be applied as a basis of design in this and all subsequent design phases Per the project type our Conceptual Design/Programming efforts will include, but is not limited to: • Develop Conceptual Design Alternatives that illustrate preliminary approaches to space organization,

functional adjacencies, and architectural character. These plans will highlight advantages and disadvantages in relation to the existing conditions of the facilities, access to building services, and project cost.

• Further development of the code concerns will be addressed. • Identification of anticipated Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems. • The construction cost estimate will continue to be maintained and adjusted to reflect and monitor alignment

of design and budget. Value engineering/value added considerations will continue to be examined as appropriate.

The cumulative work efforts of the Initial Analysis and Conceptual Design/Program Analysis will be compiled and presented. NSA will present conceptual project character studies that will include narratives describing architectural character, building materials and systems, accompanying concept drawings and graphics, as well as the updated itemized construction cost estimate. The project team, the State/DTMB and NSA, will have the opportunity to review and comment on all the presented material, make suggestions as to which design alternative is better suited to accomplish project objectives, potentially explore alternative “what-if” scenarios, and finally select or assist in the development of a final alternative. Program Analysis Report The culmination of the Phase 200 effort will be the generation and presentation of the Program Statement/Analysis including a narrative description of the building materials and systems and updated construction estimate. The program analysis report will be issued for review at the 50% and 90% stages of completion as well as other times that may be deemed necessary by the client. PHASE 300 – Schematic Design Some of the activities listed in the Phase 300 task descriptions have previously been addressed in earlier phases presented herein, however further development will take place as needed under the schematic design phase. Construction code reviews and field survey activities will have previously been started and will be completed as needed under this design phase.

II-3 Management Summary, Work Plan, and Schedule

Task – Checking Contract Documents (Quality Control) All contract documents including drawings and specifications will be checked for accuracy and completeness among all disciplines using NSA checklists and the NSA Quality Management System, based on ISO Standards, for checking project designs. Construction Codes and Permits All final designs will be in compliance with State of Michigan Construction Codes, Energy Code, ADA Accessibility Guide, and other codes in effect at the time. NSA will facilitate necessary reviews of plans and specifications by facility personnel for code compliance. Design and Construction Budget The itemized construction cost estimate will be updated to reflect final development of the project. NSA will review the final estimate with the State/DTMB for verification that the construction costs are within budget. Final design modifications will be made to align the Scope of Construction with the Budget. As the final design is being completed, the construction cost estimate will be updated and the State/DTMB will be notified if and when it appears that the construction costs may exceed budget so that appropriate adjustments to the contract documents can be made prior to issuance for bid. Construction Schedule The Project Construction Schedule will be further developed and analysis will be made to examine the benefits of multiple contracts and phasing of construction including pre-purchasing of any long lead materials and equipment. The schedule will consider various potential impacts to construction including material delivery times, local labor contract periods, seasonal influences, etc. Final Design Bidding Document Review Review of the final design bidding documents including drawings and specifications will be conducted at 50% and 90% levels of final design completeness, as well as other points of development as may be necessary. Value engineering/value added considerations will have been made from the early stages of study and design development so that the final design will have incorporated appropriate measures to maintain the project construction costs within budget. Furthermore, the construction cost estimate will have been updated to provide continual monitoring of the alignment of design with cost and budget. Anticipated cost overruns that appear during finalization of the design will be brought to the attention of the State/DMVA along with recommendations for design adjustments and/or phasing options. Construction Bidding and Contracting Procedures NSA will assist the State/DTMB in the bidding and contracting process by providing a list of recommended qualified bidders for the work of the project. In addition, bidding documents and instructions to bidders will be distributed along with conductance of pre-bid meetings to instruct the bidders as to the process of quoting the project scope. NSA will review and evaluate all bids for construction and provide written recommendations to the State/DTMB for consideration. Pre-award meetings with the potential successful bidders will be conducted to verify that the project design intent and requirements are understood and included in the bidder’s quotation. Task 500 will be completed upon selection and acceptance of the low qualified bidder and execution of the bidder’s construction contract. Final Design Correction Procedures NSA does not anticipate any errors or omissions on this project. However, should the need arise, NSA will modify the contract documents and issue appropriate Addendums and Bulletins as needed to address any errors and omissions that may be identified during construction. Contractors’ Requests for Information will be promptly addressed with written responses to provide clarification of design where required.

29

Section II – Part I - Technical

II-3 Management Summary, Work Plan, and Schedule

NSA will review the contractors’ quotations for change orders and attempt to negotiate with the contractor where it is deemed appropriate to do so. PHASE 600 – Construction Administration – Office Services It is understood that the State of Michigan will hold all construction contracts and appoint a Project Director to monitor and coordinate the performance of construction Phase services. In order to ensure that project requirements are clearly understood and complied with by the contractors, NSA will support the State of Michigan in meetings, review of shop drawings, and responding to contractor Requests for Information. NSA will obtain and use the DMB-460 Project Procedures documents package in the provision of support services. Other field support activities requiring actual field presence will be performed under the Phase 700 activities. Monitoring and approval of payment requests, monitoring of the progress of construction against the contractors proposed project construction schedule, monitoring of quality control and material testing, and timely notification of related concerns will be performed. However, these activities are identified in the context of a support role in that acceptance of responsibilities does not portray NSA to be, or assume the role and responsibilities of, the Construction Manager. NSA will prepare the required Punch Lists for each construction contract at the appropriate time and notify the contractor via the State of Michigan Project Director of any delinquencies in correcting construction deficiencies. Finally, the Phase 600 activities will culminate in generation of As-Built documents based on receipt of design drawings marked up and submitted by the Construction Contractors. Close out documents will consist of Operation and Maintenance Manuals which shall include reduced size copies of the as-built drawings and specifications, and all pertinent instructions received from the contractors for various equipment and systems. A brief action plan by Task is presented below. Project Coordination NSA will facilitate coordination of construction administration support activities. NSA will continue to preside over all project meetings; and facilitate distribution of all documented communications, field reports, etc. Shop Drawings/Submittals/Approvals NSA will provide review of shop drawings and tracking of all submittals in support of construction progress. A record will be maintained of all shop drawing submittals including material samples regarding status and action to be taken. No design revisions will be made via the shop drawing approval process. Reviews will be processed in no more than 10 working days. Payment Procedures Contractor payment requests for construction progress will be evaluated and administrative action will be taken as appropriate to approve or reject payment requests. Payment rejections will be accompanied by a written explanation for the denial of payment. Construction Schedule Progress NSA will monitor and evaluate construction progress to determine if progress is in alignment with the construction schedule for achieving completed construction within the schedule. Written notification will be provided when necessary to identify concerns when it appears that construction progress may be deemed insufficient relative to the schedule. Contractor quotations for Bulletin work will be evaluated, and recommendations will be provided to the State/Client for acceptance or other appropriate action.

II-3 Management Summary, Work Plan, and Schedule

Construction Testing Program (if required) NSA will monitor and evaluate the results of construction quality control and material testing and provide the State/Client with written evaluations along with copies of test reports. Construction Contractor Performance NSA will monitor and evaluate the Construction Contractor’s performance and advise the State/DTMB of any concerns regarding the construction relative to requirements of the contract documents. Punch List Procedures NSA will prepare and distribute punch lists for each construction contract, and for the building and site work. The State/DTMB will be notified of any construction corrections that need to be made along with the contractor. Punch lists include both Pre-Punch Lists and Substantial Completion Punch Lists as required by the DTMB RFP. Issues of payment withholding until corrections are completed will also be addressed. As-Built Documents NSA will incorporate the construction contractor’s as-built markups into the contract documents within 90 days of receipt. As-built documents will clearly show work performed such that reference to other documents will not be needed. Final acceptance of the as-built drawings will require verification by NSA of the completeness and accuracy of the documents relative to the contractor furnished information as well as acceptance by the State Department of Technology, Management and Budget. Close-out Procedures NSA will maintain a log of required submittals by the construction contractors for Project close out. Close out documents to be collected and issued to the State/DTMB include Project code compliance approvals, final inspections, final occupancy permits, Contractor’s as built mark-up drawings, copies of Operation and Maintenance Manuals, and Equipment warranties and guarantees. PHASE 700 – Construction Administration – Field Services NSA will preside at, conduct, and record the principal events of meetings held on site during the construction period including the Preconstruction Meeting, On-Site Inspections, Problem Solving Meetings, and bi-weekly Progress Meetings. Full time representation on site is understood to not be required; however, NSA will provide one site visit per week during construction in addition to attending bi-weekly progress meetings. This equates to a total of 6 site visits per month during construction.

ARTICLE 5: CAPACITY AND QUALITY 5.1 Briefly describe your firm’s methods and procedures for quality control for your deliverables and services.

NSA organizes through a Quality Management System, which is based upon the ISO 9000 system. We have a documented quality plan that identifies key processes and procedures. We maintain a flow chart, written procedures, responsibility matrix, written work instructions, and office wide standard forms. These procedures are for all project phases and tasks. This system was developed over 14 years ago in our office and serves as our “core” culture of communicaiton and responsiblities. It identifes the core business expectations of our management team and employees. These procedures and processes will be applied to the projects for the State of Michigan.

omissions? Yes No

If yes, explain:

5.3 Will there be a key person who is assigned to a project for its duration?

Yes No

35

5.4 Please present your understanding of the relationship between your firm, the DTMB Design and Construction Division, and the State Agency for whom a project will be completed. As professional services providers, we routinely have to balance the expectations of owners and in some cases their representative or general contractor with adequate and proper communciation. We understand the Department is essentially the project manager for any State Agency project. We expect the State Agency will define the project requirements and expectaions, but the Department will be responsible for managing the implementation of the project. More specifically, we expect our communications for the project will be routed through the Department back to the State Agency. We anticipate any questions related to the schedule and project budget will be handled by the Department, whereas questions related to the specific work scope and project requirements will be routed to the State Agency. However, we understand this may vary from project to project, depending on its complexity. In the end, the Department is our client, but the State Agency is the Owner and we need to respond to the needs of our client first and foremost.

5.5 Describe your approach if a bidder proposes a substitution of a specified material during bidding.

Within the NSA specifications, we have a form and procedure for Bidders Substitutions. See attached Section 010000 at the end of the Questionnaire.

5.6 Describe your approach if a contractor proposes a substitution of a specified material or detail with shop

drawing submittals or in construction. Once the contract has been awarded and the contractor proposes a substitution, he will be requested to submit an RFI and submit NSA’s form for Bidders Substitution Section 01630 (attached at the end of the Questionnaire). Shop drawing /detail modifications will be reviewed and a response will be given as to if approved/not approved or re-submit.

5.7 How will your firm provide consistent and continuous communication pertaining to project activities and

project status to the State of Michigan during the progress of projects? Successful management and communication is based on the premise that the right information gets to the right people at the right time, so the rights decisions can be made. Timely and responsible communication among Project Team members, the DTMB Team, and other designated stakeholders will be essential on these projects. We plan to implement a communicaiton plan as follows: • Conduct regular internal and external coordination meetings and distribute action-oriented meeting

minutes promptly. • Maintain an open issues log with regular follow-ups. • Perform daily management of team members to ensure everyone has what they need, knows what

they must accomplish, and when it must be finished. • Maintain frequent and regular telephone and e-amil communciation with the DTMB Team and other

Project Team members for the duration of the project. 5.8 Does your company have an FTP or similar site for quick posting and distribution of information, drawings,

field inspection reports, and other communications? Yes No

5.9 Describe your method of estimating construction costs and demonstrate the validity of that method.

We will utilize the assistance of a local general contractor in our preparation of the cost estimates. As they are pricing and bidding on construction projects on a daily basis, this provides a greater level of cost estimate accuracy.

36

5.10 Describe your approach to minimizing construction cost over-runs.

A concern of primary importance is the ability to provide a design and installation that will comply with the budget restraints and criteria of the project. Typically, renovations of existing buildings represent a greater potential for cost overruns due to unknown and unforeseen conditions within the facility. Conditions of existing building features ranging from exterior fascia elements, to structural framing, to existing boilers, piping, air handlers, etc., can represent additonal costs. In order to manage the development of the project design with respect for containing costs, it will be necessary to work closely with the decision making reprentatives of the Owner’s interest, and to monitor the estimated construction costs throughout the design process. The schematic design must clearly convey design intent and be verified very early in development to be within budgetary constraints. As the design develops the cost estimate must be frequently updated to reflect the anticipated costs. Value engineering considerations must be identified and addressed early in the design process to enable timely and necessary adjustments of design approach and /or objectives as appropriate to contain costs. Management of design changes is most effective in minimizing both cost and schedule overruns when changes can be identified and agreed upon early in the process.

5.11 What percentage of construction cost should be devoted to construction administration (office and field)?

Generally, 80%-85% of our Professional Fee is allocated for services provided in our office, and 15%-20% for services provided in the field.

5.12 What portion of the assigned work will be performed with your staff and what portion will be provided by sub-consultants? Unless civil/landscaping work is required, 100% of the work will be performed by in-house staff.

5.13 On a typical project, what would be your response time, from the time you receive a project assignment to

starting investigation and design work? A typical project might be one involving several disciplines and in the neighborhood of a $25,000 fee. 5 (five) Days

5.14 How do you assess whether a construction bidder is responsive and responsible?

During the review of bids received from General Contractors during the bidding process, NSA will review several different aspects to determine whether or not a bid is deemed responsive and responsible. The aspects include reference checks, past experience with bidder on other projects, proposed subcontactor list, review of schedule of values, and most importantly, a face-to-face interview/discussion with the bidder.

5.15 Describe your firm’s understanding of Sustainable Design and LEED Certification.

NSA Architects, Engineers, Planners (NSA) is committed to sustainable design practice in all its projects as a general company policy. As a reflection of this commitment to sustainable design, NSA engaged in a focus training and accreditation effort resulting in the successful LEED accreditation of approximately two thirds of the entire NSA staff. This included everyone from the CEO, Principals, Project Managers, to all levels of the production staff. We believe in the implementation of a sustainable design team effort across all disciplines in each service phase segment. NSA possesses a strong commitment and experience in the LEED certification process; we currently have six projects that are in the process of being LEED certified.

5.16 Describe your experience with similar open-ended contracts.

37

NSA has extensive experience with open-ended contracts. Over our history we have gained many open-ended contract (blanket order long term contracts). We currently have open ended “long term contracts “ with DTE Energy, Verizon Wireless, Wayne State Universities, Eastern Michigan University and the City of Dearborn. We have managed/executed myriad of projects for two of our clients, DTE Energy and Verizon Wireless throughout the State of Michigan. Our Firm culture is to be responsive, on time and on budget , this is a direct result of working with clients where response, being on time and within budget is paramount in the way they do business.

5.17 Describe your methodology for obtaining information about the existence and condition of an existing,

facility’s components and systems. NSA has developed a Facility Assessment Check list that is utlized as a way of assessing existing building systems. See attached at the end of this Questionnaire.

5.18 Describe your approach to securing permits/approvals for the following: campgrounds, critical dunes,

coastal zone management, projects adjacent to Michigan lakes and rivers. Our civil engineering consultant PEA applies for permits for each project they design depending upon the type and location of the job. They are familiar with the MDEQ requirements for environmental protection and have secured a variety of permits on behalf of their clients through adherence to the permit requirements and processing procedures. As with any other project involving municipal, county, state or federal regulations, PEA would contact the agency and personnel tasked with the responsibility of issuing the required permits and overseeing the review of our proposed design. As the staff of state agencies changes through time, PEA will locate and contact the most recent appointee. a. For campgrounds, PEA would contact the Campgrounds and Pools Unit of MDEQ and ensure that PEA's design meets their requirements along with the requirements of the local municipality and local health department. PEA would prepare a project design and submit it to DMB for approval and submit the DMB approved plan to MDEQ and the local municipality for approval and permitting. They would also apply for State or Federal Threatened or Endangered Species Act permitting as needed. Once the project is constructed, PEA will prepare the operating license permit application and submit it to MDEQ for approval. They will keep in contact with DMB throughout the permitting process to allow for their input and coordination. b. For Critical Dunes, PEA would ascertain whether the site is within a high risk erosion area, then prepare a design that meets the requirements of Michigan Part 353 of Act 451. They would contact the local municipality to ensure that their local requirements are addressed in our design. PEA would prepare the drawings, location map and cross sectional information for DMB approval. Once DMB approves the design, it would be submitted to the local municipality and pertinent MDEQ District staff for review and approval. Depending on the scope and location of the project, a public hearing may be required. PEA would attend the public hearing as requested and present the project or provide additional pertinent information for the public hearing as needed. They will keep in contact with DMB throughout the permitting process to allow for their input and coordination. c. For Coastal Zone Management, PEA would ascertain whether the site is within a high risk erosion area then prepare a design that meets the requirements of Michigan Part 301 and Part 31 of Act 451. They would also determine if requirements of Part 325 of Act 451 for Great Lakes Submerged Lands are pertinent and ensure that their design meets those requirements also. Threatened or Endangered Species Act requirements would be checked for the project site and would be taken into consideration when preparing the design. PEA would contact the local municipality to ensure that their local requirements are addressed in our design. They would prepare the project construction plans for DMB approval. Once DMB

38

approves the design, it would be submitted to the local municipality and pertinent MDEQ District staff for review and approval. The design would also be submitted to FEMA if needed for floodplain revision approvals. d. For projects adjacent to lakes, rivers, and other natural water features in the State of Michigan, we would contact the appropriate Federal, State, County and local agencies for the most current permit and approval requirements. Projects in these locations typically require the procurement of a State of Michigan Public , Part 301 Inland Lakes and Streams permit, Part 303 wetlands permit and or Part 31 floodplain permit. These permits can be obtained by applying for the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Joint Permit. This permit is now administered by the local field offices of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and coordinated by MDEQ with the USACE. The joint permit application process has recently been revised and covers a host of permit items including items listed above and submerged lands of the Great Lakes, dam safety, shorelands protection and sand dunes. Increasingly, projects also need to be checked for impacts of State or Federal Threatened or Endangered Species Act. PEA’s process includes contacting the pertinent State, Federal, and local municipality personnel for any updated or revised requirements, preparing a design that meets the stated requirements and submitting the design for approval. Depending on the scope of the project and location, a public notice and or public hearing will be required to obtain permit approvals. All steps in the permit process are coordinated with the DTMB Project manager.

5.19 Describe your approach to a construction contractor’s request for additional compensation for a change in the project scope. Within the NSA specifications, we have a form and procedure for Contract Modifications. See attached Section 012600 at the end of this Questionnaire.

Hartland Towne Square is being developed as a 600,000 sf open air power center featuring a number of major anchors, including a department | grocery store built on 80+ acres at the northwest quadrant of US-23 and Highland Road (M-59). The development’s total impact is over 200 acres, which comprises off-site impacts including surrounding parcels, wetlands, the relocation of an existing county road (Hartland Road) and the reconstruction of 0.75 miles of the state highway along the site’s frontage (M-59). Relocated roadway design included a super-elevated section, roundabout, signalized intersection, separate truck route and new intersection with M-59 (Highland Road.) A new County Drain and Drainage District were established within the new road right of way.

The property was the location of a former truck stop and abandoned municipal wastewater treatment plant, and was bordered on two sides by regulated wetlands. The only available stormwater outlet for the site was

a failing county drain consisting of 80-year-old clay field tile. The solution was a newly designed and constructed pumping station, relocated pressure main and new maintenance building. The design and construction of the relocated pumping station and pressure main preceded the Hartland Towne Square review and final approval process.

In order to meet demanding deadlines set by the developer and his prospective tenants, portions of the project were broken out into sub-projects and distributed to multiple engineers and designers, then incorporated into the final construction documents by the core engineering team.

The development currently consists of 2 stores, and is awaiting new tenants. Services ProvidedSurveying, hydrologic analysis, site engineering, retaining wall design, private and public road design, county drain, wetland design.

PEA designed two plazas within the new main street area for Hamburg Township. The space is situated inside a privately owned retail development. Because of this, PEA designed the space to create a sense of community ownership. PEA researched the history and character of the community and created a plaza to reflect the main identity of the community, which primarily revolved around the natural features of the area. Our design utilized metaphors that reflect the most commonly identifiable natural features of the Township, including the chain of seven lakes along the Huron River, wetland areas and floodplain areas.

A smooth band of concrete with colored concrete arcs represents the Huron River and the chain of lakes. The name of each lake is engraved in each colored arc. To represent the wetlands, the plaza has a two-foot deep trench which collects stormwater from both the plaza and the road areas. The trench is planted with wetland plants to symbolize the natural wetlands of the areas while serving a functional purpose of cleansing stormwater from the site. A small play area is provided with a sculpture of a frog to symbolize the wildlife found in the area. The plaza as a whole will provide a social space for community members to interact.

Services Provided Site inventory and analysis, schematic design, surveying, landscape design, construction drawings, hardscape design, site engineering
