EXHIBIT "A" ~
DUBLIN CIVIC CENTER INlPROVEMENTS
Project Description: The existing Dublin City Center will be renovated based on the program
information provided at our project site walk on 3/3/11 with City Staff. Remodel work will occur in
limited areas throughout the City Staff and Police Department offices. The new work to be
provided, interior detailing, finishes, door hardware, windows~/ frames, etc. will be tlesigned to
match the current existing building standards for fit, finish and to match or blend with the existing
building color palette. We understand this project will be bitl per prevailing public contract
guidelines as is the requirement for the City of Dublin.
2. Existinq Drawings / Documents: The City of Dublin will provide Dahlin Group with all electronic
copies of the existing building available via PDF antl CAD. Any time required to generate new
base "as-built" CAD documents for the execution of the project work will be performed on an hourly
basis.
Green Buildinq Desiqn: The proposed remodel work will utilize industry recognized best practices
for _green building design where these can be implemented without a farge dollar cost to the
project. It is not the intent, nor will we generate tlocumentation to submit the project for certification
under the USGBC / GBCI - L.E.E.D, construction rating or any other third party green building
certification system.
4. Desiqn Review: The project design / layout will be reviewed and approved internally by City Staff
and ~will not require formal design submittals to the City of Dublin Design Review Board, Parks and
Community Services Board, or City Council. No time is included in this scope of work to generate
design ~eview documentation and color boards, and no atlditional meeting time has been atltletl for
formal reviews of the project.
5. . Consultant Services: Because the building and site are existing to remain, the Architect will limit
their work and provitle the following consultant services for the remodel project:
• Architectural
• Electrical AV Equipment Installation
• Structural (Hourly review antl design for specific conditions as required)
• M, P; E, FS Performance Specifications and Design Builtl Documentation Review
Book type specifications for each anticipated section .of work will be generated for the project.
Performance Specifications only will be provided for Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire
Protection. Construction Documents for these trades will be provided on a design/builtl basis
through the General Contractor.
Buildinc~/ Site Accessibilitv Upqrades: The existing site and building will be required to be
upgradetl to meet current guidelines for facility accessibility per 2010 CBC chapter 11, section
1134B - Accessibility for Existing Buildings. Portions of the project are being untlertaken strictiy for
accessibility compliance antl are exempted from this requirement in the CBC. The current
anticipated total cost of the project, inclutling voluntary accessibility upgrades is set at
$650,000.00. The Owner and Architect will need to perform a final review the project scope of
Consulting Services Agreement between
City of Dublin and Dahlin Group--Exhibit A Page 1 of 8
~r~ ~
work with the Building Official to determine the limit, extent, and final dollar amount of accessibility
rework required for the existing facilities beyond this project's intended scope of work. Based on
our cursory visual review at our project site walk on 3/3/11 with City Staff and subsequent email
`correspondence, we anticipate the following will be. the minimum additional accessibility
improvements required for the project: .- .
Installation of truncated domes at site; domes are missing from the path of travel at the bottom
of the existing curb-ramp leading to the accessible parking area loading areas that also serve
as the path of travel across the vehicular way to accessible parking stalls on the opposite side.
Review of existing single occupancy toilet rooms within the building for compliance with current
accessibility standards.
Reinstallation of counters and associatetl plumbing and accessories; there were several
existing built-in counter tops that were within the project areas that appeared to be instailed fo
high antl would need to be removed and reinstalled at appropriate heights for disabled access.
Provision of accessible counters; a new accessible "seat height" counter top will be provided
as part of the remodel work at the Permit Center counter. New accessible transaction counters
will be provided at the transaction area for the Police Offices Lobby. Currently only "standing
height" counters exist at these areas.
7. Remodel Descriptions:
The following are the descriptions of the anticipated project scope of work as we understand them:
-(i) Public Offices - 15t Floor permit counter; remodel of the existing permit services counter
area to create a"one stop" permit center with seating to accommodate pubiic and staff at
each side of an accessible height counter. The center section of the. existing counter,
inclutling base cabinets, wi(I be removed and repiaced with an accessible height
transaction counter. The counter will be set with a central wall and sides that divide the
seating areas into individual sections for service. Partial height privacy panels will be
added to each section to allow for transactions to occur, and to provide for additional
signage.identifying the stations. These seating areas will neetl to be wired for Data and
Telecom services for the City Staff. ~
(ii) Public Offices - 2~d Floor office wall installation; the existing counter antl transaction area
will be removetl at finance and a new office wall with clerestory windows and entry door
will be addetl under the existing soffit to remain at this location. Minor electrical rework will
be required for the existing switch bank to eliminate conflicts with the new wall /, door
location.
(iii) Public Offices - 2~d Floor work area reconfiguration; the existing tloor and wall at the
storage area will be removed and new workstations will be installed at this location to
match the existing adjacent area. A new wall will be installetl to create a"copy alcove" to
_ relocate one large size copier and printers out of the current work areas. An existing
abandoned door at the existing adjacent office will be removed antl reinstalled at the 1St
floor office noted above.
(iv7 Po(ice Offices - reception area upgrade; the existing reception area transaction counter
will be remodeletl to an accessible height with a ballistic slide tray. We will provitle a
narrative for design options for consideration for upgrades to the existing transaction wall
and glazing to incorporate levels of bal(istic profecfion.
