Subject: Request for Proposal for AlE Services

Dear Supervisor Kelly and Dexter Township Board

Proposal for NE Services

Thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal for architectural/engineering (A/E) services for this project. It is obviously a much needed facility and its placement and efficiency will help cut down critical minutes from response times. We have included both our qualifications for this project, and our proposed AlE fee (separate envelopes). We understand the scope of this project includes the investigation of three different design options for a New Fire Substation Facility to be located at the current facility, 12088 North Territorial Road, in Dexter. Once the design direction is agreed upon by the Township the building design will be developed, site plans will be submitted for Planning Commission approval, construction drawings and specifications will be completed , and the project will go out for general contractor bids.

Our team (comprised of Dangerous Architects PC, Washtenaw Engineering Inc., and Mechanical Electrical Engineers Inc. (MEEC PC) has extensive experience completing similar design projects for various municipalities. In Dexter we are currently working with Lima Township on a design project to evaluate their Township Hall building. Similar to this project Lima Township is considering three approaches to their project, which includes adding on, renovate the existing, or remove and start over. In Chelsea, we provided a full building analysis for the Village of Chelsea's former administrative building on East Middle Street. Following existing condition analysis, we performed space planning and concept designs, cost estimates, design and construction drawings for the complete renovation of the three-story, 9,500sf(then) Village Hall building. We obtained general contractor bids for the Village and recommended the most qualified bidder ($1.45M).

We also have tremendous experience with similar projects which we have completed for the State of Michigan. In Adrian, Michigan, we have completed multiple addition/renovations and free standing buildings for the Adrian Training School, a State of Michigan facility. We constructed two new workshop/motor vehicle spaces, similar in size to what Dexter Township is considering for the MLWSA. One of these projects was an addition /remodel to the existing boiler room building to convert it to a truck storage and workshop facility for the Department of Motor Vehicles at ATS. The other was a new construction free-standing building for facility storage.

In Ann Arbor, we developed a master plan for Arbor Heights Center, a 1931 three-story 17,051sf building located on the University of Michigan campus. Following the master plan, we were hired for several addition and renovation projects. Our renovations touched nearly every room in this facility. We renovated the entire infrastructure including power, lights, and hot water heat system; provided new fan coil heating/cooling units to the entire building, and provided new finishes in most rooms. We replaced all of the windows and provided exterior masonry repair. We repaired nagging roof leaks in the existing standing seam copper roof system. We also completed additions for a new food service wing and an educational center. All of our work was scrutinized by the University Architect, the University Planner, the Ann Arbor Historical Society, and (of course) the State of Michigan Department of Management and Budget. The construction costs for these projects totaled some $2.3M.

To best accomplish the many civil engineering requirements for Preliminary and Final Site Plan reviews as well as design and construction drawings for site improvements we have teamed with Washtenaw Engineering Co. of Ann Arbor, MI. Mr. Robert Wanty, President, will guide team members Seth Garner (civil engineer) and Richard Meader (landscape architect) through this project from start to finish.


Proposal for AlE Services

Mechanical and electrical requirements are critical to the life-safety, efficiency, and the working environment for the users of MLWSA. For this project, Dangerous Architects PC has teamed with MEEC PC of Plymouth, Michigan as mechanical, and electrical consulting engineers. MEEC PC is a wellestablished, highly respected engineering firm with a long list of successful building projects completed throughout Michigan. MEEC PC has completed several local projects with us including a 19,000sf church renovation in Jackson, a 12,000sf renovation projectfor the Boy Scouts of America in Ypsilanti, and a 19,000 sf addition/remodel project in Stockbridge. President of MEEC PC Mr. Jim Busha will lead team members Jordan Koenig (Electrical Engineer) and auto cad drafter Derek Marcotte through this project from start to completion.

The project data states the desire for this building to be a pre-engineered steel building. We believe this makes a lot of sense based on the desired size and clear spans for the truck bays. We have great experience with pre-engineered steel buildings, including our design for GSL, a 12,000sf machine shop in Jackson, Steel Mechanical, a current project for a mechanical contracting company in Chelsea, and a planned farmers market in Adrian. We have a great working relationship with Rob McFate, of the McFate Group in Chelsea. Rob is a Butler Building representative and we have worked with Rob on no less than (6) pre-engineered steel buildings in the past three years.

The size and complexity of this project will command our attention and priority. We will not send assistants to meetings or pass this project on to office interns. The President of Dangerous Architects PC will personally guide this project through from initial meetings to the completion of Bid Documents. This project will receive a much higher level of commitment through the personal attention of a singular figurehead. Obviously when a project has the same person administrating building analysis, meetings, and cost estimates, the integrity of the entire project is greatly enhanced. Decisions are not lost because they are passed from one person to the next. Original design goals are not somehow forgotten in the shuffle. The person responsible for all these different phases of work requires the authority to make instant decisions, and the experience to make the right ones. With our team, Dexter Township will be working directly with the architectural firm's owner.

Our firm is located in Chelsea, which is of course very close to Dexter, and a short ride to North Territorial Road. We have completed many similar projects in Washtenaw Dexter Township We will take great pride in helping MLWSA achieve their programmatic goals by helping them to operate in a safe, energy efficient and comfortable building which compliments their operational goals for years to come.

We strongly feel that our team-Dangerous Architects PC, Washtenaw Engineering Co., and MEEC PC-is the best AlE team to successfully execute this project. This statement is of course self-serving, but we have completed very similar projects in the recent past and we know that we would excel if given the chance with this new Fire substation facility. We have the necessary talent to help guide the design direction process, accurately analyze cost estimates, maximize program efficiency, and explore energy efficiency with LEED compliant lighting, power, plumbing, and mechanical solutions within the parameters of the Township budget. Our team has hands-on experience in addressing similar projects in this Washtenaw County. We are terrific listeners when budgets are discussed as we love to see our projects succeed, and they won't move forward with us rubber stamping unrealistic budgets. We will not lead this project down a path which the Township cannot afford. Further, we have the capability to provide outstanding service in an extremely transparent fashion personally guided by the arc~itectural firm's owner.

We again thank you for the opportunity to illustrate our unique qualifications for this project. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions. We look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Scott McElrath, President Dangerous Architects PC

Firm Overview

Proposal for A/E Services

Dangerous Architects PC is a Professional Corporation, which Scott McElrath founded in Chelsea, Michigan in 1994 as a sole proprietorship. In 1999, the firm became a Professional Corporation in Michigan. Scott McElrath is the President of Dangerous Architects PC, and he is the single shareholder. Mr. McElrath is a licensed architect in Michigan, license# 34189. He is also NCARB certified. The address of this firm is 104 South Main Street, Chelsea, Mi. 48118.

We as a firm have purposely avoided a "specialized building type". Rather, we acknowledge that each and every project has a different site, a different client with their own set of priorities, different budget etc. We would not be presumptive to "pigeon hole" projects from various municipalities together whether based on building type, size, or budget. We excitedly explore options for each and every project with fresh eyes, unencumbered from (sometimes) baggage from past successes or failures. We have some 20 years as a firm exploring projects from this perspective. So even though we do not claim a building type specialty as some firms may, we are incredibly adept at sorting out client priorities, and developing with our clients the best building design solution for their given needs, site peculiarities, and budget constraints. Having said this we do have a fair amount of government work on our resume (please see attached list). As you will notice several of these clients (including the City of Hudson, and the State of Michigan) tended to hire us repeatedly for subsequent projects at the same site, which to us indicates satisfaction with the quality of our work.

We are a smaller yet responsive firm. We tend to team with the same engineering consultants over and over as we appreciate the quality of their work and they understand the quality and accuracy of work which we (and our clients) will require of them. We perform almost all of our design and construction document work with auto cad, which can be directly shared with our consultants, and immediately shared with our clients as well via pdf files. On projects such as this we will also generate three dimensional images for client reviews via Sketch-up, or Rhino software, as they tend to help clients understand the design much better than two dimensional cad drawings. Our construction documents tend to include more drawings and notes than competitive firms. This is because we know what it takes to get things bid accurately and to get built in the field. We have spent many visits to various jobsites, discovering what works best for the builders to truly understand the design intent as conveyed with construction drawings. Firm owner has also spent many hours constructing things (two houses and one garage). He has a carpentry background, and has been hands-on building things literally since the age of 8, and thus can see things "through the eyes of a builder".

Key Personnel:

Scott McElrath, NCARB, President of Dangerous Architects PC, established in 1994 Registered Architect in State of Michigan since 1988 NCARB Certificate since 2003 SHPO approved Historic Architect, per 36 CFR part 61. 1985 Master of Architecture from University of Michigan 1983 Bachelor of Science in Architecture, The Ohio State University Has designed and managed projects in Michigan, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island and in Great Britain.

Mr. McElrath will be extremely "hands on" in the administration and execution of this Fire Substation Facility project from start to finish; including attending all preliminary, design, construction document, and bidding meetings. He will attend both Planning Commission meetings as well as present any and all information to the Township Board. He will provide hands on leadership from beginning to project completion, ensuring that decisions are not lost from one phase to the next. He has over thirty years of similar project management experience.

Project Team


The President of Dangerous Architects PC will manage this project from start to finish. He will attend all meetings, generate and distribute meeting minutes. He will maintain communications between all parties, provide quality control, ensure that schedules are adhered to, develop the design, update budget estimates, oversee all construction documents, write the specifications, attend the bid walk through, evaluate the bids, and recommend to the Township the most qualified bidder.

Washtenaw Engineering Co. will perform all of the civil engineering and landscape architecture design required for this project. Their contact info is as follows:

Washtenaw Engineering Co. Inc. 3526 W. Liberty Suite 400 Ann Arbor, Mi. 48106 734-761-8800

Accurate Site Plan design is critical for this project as we acknowledge that it will need to be formally submitted to the Dexter Township Planning Commission for a Preliminary and Final Site Plan approval. Washtenaw Engineering will perform its surveying service in-house, and all civil engineering required including site drainage and storm water management. They will hire out a geo-technical firm for soil borings. We have worked with owner Robert Wanty P.E., LEED AP on many projects through the years, including the site work at GSL, a 10,000sf pre-engineered steel building machine shop in Jackson, several of our State of Michigan projects at Adrian Training School, and many other survey projects.

MEEC PC Consulting Engineers is a full service engineering firm located in Plymouth, Michigan. They are incorporated in the State of Michigan. They have professional engineers including plumbing, mechanical, and electrical, all licensed in the State of Michigan. Their contact info is as follows:

MEEC PC 1415 Goldsmith Plymouth, MI. 48170 734 454 5516

We have worked with MEEC PC on multiple projects including the renovation of a 21 ,OOOsf building into a church in Jackson, renovation of 18,000sf of a two story brick building in Stockbridge into multi-use space, and (currently) building out a 12,000sf space in Ypsilanti as multi-use space for the Boy Scouts of America, to name a few. We have a great working relationship with their team and are in near constant contact them.

While some of the submitting architectural firms may elect to forgo quality engineering to help lower their proposed fees, we highly value our consultants, and are establishing them up front as integral members of our team. We fully expect that Dexter Township will expect durability, efficiency, and accuracy for this project. We would never forgo quality engineering in a quest to lower our proposed fee; just to aid our efforts of obtaining a particular project. Our team would prefer instead to not even get the project than to risk compromising the quality of the design calculations needed to properly execute a project. We do not "wing it", when it comes to engineering decisions. We value quality engineering, (as opposed to supporting "value-engineering"), in all of our projects, especially in municipal work, as we fully realize that Township money is typically very limited for future maintenance work. Our approach has always been "do it right the first time", thus avoiding nagging long term maintenance problems.

We have asked for and received a written proposal from Washtenaw Engineering Co. and MEEC PC for their respective engineering services specific to this project. Their fees are built into our team's fee, which means if we are awarded this project we are not scrambling to find an engineer willing to perform the work for a pre-determined fee. Rather, we work together as a cohesive team from award of contract through and including project completion.

Scope of Services


We have visited the site, and read the preliminary information. We have reviewed various other web sites with information regarding MLWSA. We understand that this project involves an analysis of the existing site and main building.

The existing building is a single floor slab-on-grade metal clad building used for the Multi-Lake Water and Sewer Authority. It has also been used recently as a temporary Fire Substation. This location has significantly improved response times. But the existing building is much better suited as remaining part of the MLWSA than a truly functional Fire Substation. It in fact has multiple safety concerns for the staff, which seems counterproductive for those trying to save the rest of us. The existing building and next door temporary trailer have been acceptable for transitional facilities, but their many shortcoming prompt a more permanent solution in the near future.

The existing site is 60 acres of rolling hills located on the north side of Dexter. Because of its prominent location on a hill, MLWSA can be seen readily from North Territorial, and has great access to the same road . There is seemingly a lot of potential room to expand on this site, but zoning requirements will dictate just how much. The actual buildable site being explored is some 2-5 acres near the existing MLWSA building. Mature trees line the site.

Proposed

Building The above three options will be explored to determine which best produces the desired new Fire Substation program, site, and budget criteria. The new Fire Substation may resemble the fire substation recently constructed in Grass Lake, but mirrored to better fit the site. Approximate size is 80'x90'x24' high. There will be a mezzanine for storage. Total main floor is 7200sf. Total mezzanine is 3000sf (or smaller to avoid code required barrier free access.) This size will allow for 2.5 bays of 18'x80', drive thru . Doors will be 14'x14' facing south, drainage will be via trench drains to oil separator. Truck bays will be heated, ventilated, and exhausted with Plymo-Vents.

The office area will include room for two 16x14' offices, a large meeting/polling room 24'x36', a common room 1 O'x14', 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, toilet rooms, showers, and locker area. There will also be a laundry room, an equipment room, weight room, various mechanical and storage rooms.

Site Efficiency of getting the trucks in, and the expediency of getting them out quickly and safely is paramount to the success of this new facility. Drives need to be wide, efficient and safe. There will be deep concrete aprons at the front and back of the truck bays for a pull thru design . New solar lit signs will be placed on North Territorial to warn of departing fire trucks.

The affected site for this project is approximately 5 acres, as the building must also work as an occasional polling station for the Township, and a potential post for the MSP. Parking is estimated at 50 minimum.

Project Budget

The project budget is between $1.2M and $1.6M. At first glance this budget seems adequate, but once parking for 50 cars is added, drives, aprons, storm water management, landscaping etc. is added I believe the project cost will push the upper end of this range. As needed, the scale/scope may need to be reduced to fit within the final budget.


Work Plan

Project Initiation & Program Development:


Our team will initiate a kick-off meeting with the Township Fire Substation Committee. We will borrow the (collection of) background information and other items that deemed necessary for review. We will measure the existing MLWSA administration building in order to develop a background cad drawing. We will schedule a site visit with the Township Fire Substation Committee to the MLWSA site, as well as a visit to another existing similar fire station site. The project goals and objectives will be established, refined, and delineated by our team to accomplish the scope of work necessary to best create a new fire substation facility for your site, which improves citizen safety, and works within your budget. This statement is critical as it empowers every subsequent step in the process.

We will develop a written program for all building design options and develop an initial construction cost estimate for township review at this stage. We will accept input regarding the existing condition drawings, the program, and initial cost estimate by the Township Fire Substation Committee.

Topographic Survey:

Our civil engineering consultant will provide a topographic survey creating a 1-foot interval contour plan and identifying existing site features, existing utilities and existing easements proximal to this project. In addition, we will process the survey and prepare an existing conditions plan of the area needed for the development.

Schematic Design:

Our firm will include the development of three (3) conceptual site plans depicting the proposed substation facility as follows:

1) A stand-alone building, apart from and with adequate separation from the existing MLWSA administration and storage buildings. 2) A building incorporating the existing MLWSA administration building with renovations and/or additions as required. 3) A stand-alone building on the existing MLWSA administration building site. This last alternative plan will include the costs to demolish the existing building.

All schematic designs will contain proposed drives, paved parking, setbacks, approximate location and preliminary sizing of the proposed storm water management measures, approximate proposed utility locations and other items necessary to comply with the township site plan approval process. The proposed site we develop will be designed to provide maximum compliance with Dexter Township zoning requirements. We will incorporate building elevations for each of the three options. The construction cost estimates will be updated and submitted to the Township. We will assemble at least one meeting with the Township Board to present our site plan concepts. When we complete this task, the Township Board will select the preferred design option. Our firm will advance this selected option during the Design Development phase.

Geotechnical:

Our team will obtain soil borings for the design of the building foundation system and storm water management measures and a soils report outlining recommendations. Because of the weight of the tankers we will also provide soil boring reports for the new drives and apron where the fire trucks will maneuver.

Design Development:


Our team will have produced 50 percent complete architectural, site civil, mechanical, electrical and plumbing, low voltage systems and structural plans, boundary survey and contract documents. Storm water management measures meeting the Washtenaw Dexter Township Water Resources Commissioner (WCWRC) Rules and computations will be included on the plans. We will arrange a meeting to present the plans and the updated construction costs in order to receive feedback. We will propose the plans as a Preliminary Site Plan to the Township Planning Commission (PC). We will assist the township in securing approval from the PC and, if necessary, the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). Our team will be prepared to submit documents to the PC and ZBA; that represent the Township Board at staff review, PC and ZBA meetings; documents will be revised as required by the reviewing authority. We will comply with all applicable codes including but not limited to: Americans with Disabilities Act, Michigan Barrier Free Code, Michigan Building Code, Fire Code, and the Michigan Energy Code.

Construction Plans:

We will take into account comments and input from the Dexter Township Planning Commission, of completion of 90 percent and 100 percent complete plans for Final Site Plan approval and for bidding of the project. We will acquire approvals from the following governing municipal authorities: WCRC concurrence for the drive connection to North Territorial Road; WCWRC approval for the proposed storm water management system; WCWRC SESC permit; MLSWA approval for the proposed connection to the sewer; Washtenaw Dexter Township approval for the proposed well (if needed) and applicable building department permits. We will present 90 percent complete plans and updated construction cost estimates for Final Site Plan approval. As a minimum these construction drawings will include:

• Final site plans including contours, utilities, landscaping, storm water management, all civil engineering, site lighting, building footprint and exterior elevations.

• Demolition drawings if option 2 is selected. • Foundation plan and details • Main floor plan, including detail plans at intense areas such as the kitchen and toilet/locker rooms • Loft plan and details • Reflected ceiling plans • Room finish, Door, frame, and window schedules. Window and door details • Exterior elevations, denoting all materials, windows, doors, color selections • Building sections and wall sections at each different condition • Interior elevations of cabinets and toilet/locker rooms • Exterior and interior details • Structural drawings and details (foundation if pre-engineered steel building) • Plumbing drawings, schedules and details • Mechanical drawings, schedules and details • Power drawings, schedules, panel diagrams, and details. Low voltage drawings and diagrams,

tele/data raceways. • Lighting drawings, including building, site and emergency, schedules and details • Prepare electrical and mechanical energy code compliance tabulation/design sheets, if required.

Bidding:

Once all permits and/or agency approvals are obtained, we will advertise and organize the bidding of the project, distribute the bidding documents, answer interested contractor's questions during the bidding process, conduct the bid opening, tabulate bids, check contractor's references, provide the Township with a recommendation of award and attend a Township Board meeting to discuss our recommendation for the most qualified general contractor bidder.


Meetings and Review Time


Concise, productive Meetings are extremely important to the success of this project. Because there is so much information to share and disseminate in a short time period, it is critical that the findings of all meetings are quickly shared with the entire team. Dexter Township has graciously offered to be readily available for meetings to expedite this project. Some of these meetings can be brief so that work can keep flowing. Some of the meetings may overlap, meaning they might happen on the same day and/or at the same setting. As a minimum, we plan on attending and leading the following site visits and meetings:

Project Initiation & Program Development Kick off Meeting with MLWSA and Dexter Township, initial site investigation

Visit MLWSA and another site Meeting with Township Fire Substation Committee, and MLWSA

Discuss written program for all three options Meeting with MLWSA, Township Fire Substation Committee

Site Survey Meeting with consultants, and Township Fire Substation Committee to share initial site investigation findings
