Director of Engineering and Construction City of Miami Community Redevelopment Agency 49 NW 5Ih Street, Suite 100 Miami, FL 33128 Project: Miami Entertainment Complex Subject: Architectural Design Services Proposal Dear Mark, We have prepared this proposal for the Miami Entertainment Complex improvements in accordance with the Project Design Approach presented in our RFQ response as well as the discussion during the presentation to the Selection Committee. The original text for the Project Approach is included here with the expanded deliverables description discussed with you. The design team will utilize the following methodology to develop the Design Criteria Package: A. SITE VISIT: (3-4 days): Meet with the CRA, discuss the masterplan opportunities, design objectives, overall project program, and project schedule; view, record and assess the existing building (photograph the site) to become familiar with the design constrainfs/opportunities and surrounding site conditions; consult with local municipal code and planning officials. Tour significant existing buildings/recent projects in Miami to understand historical architectural style and cultural influences. B. RECORD DRAWINGS / PHYSICAL FACILITIES ASSESSMENT: The design and engineering team (CES) will prepare field -measured background drawings of the existing building. These drawings will show the observable physical conditions (no forensic or destructive investigation). The drawings will be used as base drawings for the conceptual design work. Generally observable physical conditions of the building elements, mechanical and electrical systems will be photographed and recorded on the record drawings and compiled into a booklet for future use by the design team in developing the design criteria. C. MEETINGS / WORKSHOPS: In addition to the initial site visit it is expected that there will be one (I) meeting day in Miami with the CRA. One meeting will be held to present the final design criteria package. D. PROGRAMMING: The design team will meet with CRA representatives to discuss goals and needs for the project as well as to establish fundamental facts that will guide the design studies. A written summary of the program will be provided for review and approval by the CRA before commencement of the design studies. E. PRELIMINARY MASTERPLAN CONCEPT STUDIES: Development of concept plans (3 maximum) that indicate alternate conceptual site design strategies and arrangements of program elements. The exhibits are for use by the CRA in discussions and formation of the final design approach. F. CONCEPTUAL MASTERPLAN: Based on the selected masferplan concept study, the Architect will prepare an overall studio masterplan (30"x42", colored) with interior floor plan areas of the primary functional elements identified in the program, site parking, truck access, and landscaping with building area/coverage/parking tabulations. Colored schematic floor plans for all floor levels will be provided. Two cross -sections through the building showing vertical relationships and heights will also be provided. G. AERIAL PERSPECTIVE RENDERINGS (2 views): Perspective color renderings including concept massing illustrating the architectural design approach. These renderings may be inserted into an aerial photograph (provided by CRA) or a Google Earth image to illustrate context. H. DETAILED EXTERIOR RENDERINGS (2 views): Ground level exterior views and conceptual schematic sections will be provided. 1. PRELIMINARY DESIGN CRITERIA: Also included are preliminary outline design criteria which describe the use and criteria for each building type (soundstages, production support, commissary, mill/shops, etc.). The criteria are organized into architectural, structural, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing categories. J. COST ESTIMATING / CM REVIEWS: The Construction Manager (DPR) will provide constructibility reviews with all estimates. A conceptual project budget will be provided during the programming phase of the work. The estimate will be updated as the design work progresses. A final conceptual estimate will be included in the project summary booklet. All budget numbers will be subject to review and approval of the CRA. K. PRESENTATION DRAWINGS: A final package of color drawings of the approved design concept suitable for mounting on presentation boards will be provided to the CRA. L. PRESENTATIONS: The architect will present the final design criteria package to the CRA at the CRA offices. M. PROJECT SUMMARY BOOKLET: All graphic and written materials as described above will be bound in a project booklet format (11'x17, color) with a cover. These project presentation booklets may be used by the CRA for presentations to future prospective developers, government authorities, contractors, and potential tenants. SCHEDULE. We expect the timeframe for the scope of work items A through M to be six (6) weeks commencing with the kick-off Site Visit meetings. FEE: For the item A through M scope of work described above we propose a lump sum fee of $215, 000.00 including an allowance for customary reimbursable expenses such as air travel, hotel, meals, transportation, printing (limited to 8 copies of the summary booklet), and delivery. Thank you for your interest in working with us on this very interesting and important project.
