CITY OF ELGIN: By: an Stegall, City Manager Attest: City Clerk CONSULTANT: DLA ARCHITECTS, LTD. By: Lat., Name/Print: 13ire,,cas Lic2„cd -r Title: fiNe5 tOP-Prr F:\Legat Dept\Agreement\DLA Architects Chamber Green Assessment-clean-5-18-11 doc - 9 - ATTACHMENT A PHASE I SERVICES Proposal modified March 28, 2011 and approved verbally by Bruce Dahlquist, President of DLA Architects. March 24, 2011 Mr. Aaron Cosentino City of Elgin 150 Dexter Court Elgin, IL 60120 Re: Green Facility Assessment Elgin Chamber of Commerce Office(former Woolworth's store) Dear Aaron: In December, I met with Leo Nelson and Bob yNa|m, having walked the building with them to review the existing conditions regarding the upgrade of the existing facility in terms of Green/Sustainable Design as well as Green Operations and Maintenance policies. As a result, I would propose to approach a "Greening" Facilities Assessment in two phases: Phase 1: Since the City of Elgin does not have drawings of the bui|ding, the first step would be to field measure the building and draw the Basement Floor Plan, First Floor Plan, and the Second Floor Plan. These will be used for this otudy, but will also give the City digital floor plans for other future projects. Next, we would walk the entire buiNing, including the roof and the basement to review the existing conditions. This would include mnohitantuna|, meohanica|, p|umbing, and electrical conditions. From this, we would identify potential opportunities to upgrade the conditions of the existing building shell and infrastructure. This will include the walls, doors, roof, interior finishes, opp//anceo, as well as cleaning and operations policies. The existing plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems will be reviewed for system efficiency. The purpose will be to compare the existing facility to U.S. Green Building Council LEED guidelines. This is an accepted standard for Green and Sustainable Design. Appropriate principles will be suggested to incorporate into a potential renovation of the existing facility. The deliverable will be a written report. It will include: 1. An analysis of the existing conditions which may relate to Green and Sustainable Design 2. Photographs identifying areas for potential |mpnovement, cross referenced to the floor plans. 3. Floor plans referencing these areas — Floor plans will also show plumbing fixtures, locations of mechanical equipment, and locations of electrical panels. 4. LEED checklist showing potential "Greening Improvements". We are not suggesting that this become a LEED project at this time, just incorporating LEED principles in the renovation. . , 5. Write a final report with recommendations for appropriate(or reasonable) improvements. G. Meeting time Phase 2: Currently, the City of Elgin is attempting to locate and consolidate utility bills for this building. Gas bills have been located. We would develop energy modeling to identify system efficiencies. The results of this would be incorporated into the overall "Greening" Facilities Assessment. The intent of this analysis would not be to perform a facility assessment, life safety ounvey, asbestos or hazardous material inspection, Americans with Disabilities Act/Illinois Accessibility Code survey. Our architectural/engineering professional fees for this work would be: Phase 1: $11,500—excluding reimbursable printing costs, subject to approval of the pjact manager. Phase 2: If completed, will be done through a separate proposal and contract. The results of this survey will provide guidance for "greening" the building. This will help with the image portrayed to potential businesses considering Elgin as a home, as well as reducing the energy demand, and ultimately the operations and maintenance costs. We look forward to working with the City of Elgin in providing guidance to the greening of this bui/ding, potentially one of the most visible resources for businesses and the community-at-large. As part of the project scope, DLA will draw the exterior elevations and make suggestions for the upgrade of the exterior facades, consistent with the Façade Improvement Program. The scope of our work would include preparing "existing conditions" a|evationo, façade deoign, as well as façade presentation renderings along the south and west facades. We will include this as a part of our fee identified above (excluding reimbursable printing costs). We have significant experience with the Preservation and Raotonohon, including the City of Elgin Façade Improvement Program - having done the following projects: Hines and Associates—Phase 1 and Phase 2 Offices of Manuel Barbosa, Attorney at Law Grove Avenue—Elgin Federal Savings Douglas Avenue Façade Improvements Studio One Kale Uniform Office/Commercial Facility for Roflie Bray—South Grove Carlson's Art Supplies—Chicago Street South State Street Façade Improvements Elks Club West State Street B&D Office Machine The Tower Building The Ackeman Building Richards Building—Douglas Avenue (Urban Homesteading) 10 N. Douglas 122 S. Douglas 53-63 Douglas (McBride Building) . . I I was one of the co-founders and Past Chairman of the Elgin Heritage Commission — helping set preservation policy for the City of Elgin. In addition, DLA has done the restoration of the Lords Park Pavi|hzn, the restoration and addition to the Elgin Public yNuaeum, and the historic remodeling of the Community Crisis Center. We have also designed all of the additions to the historic School District U-46 schools. In addition, I was Co-Founder and Past Chairman of the Fox Valley Branch of the U.S. Green Building Council. We are leaders in Green and Sustainable Oeaign, with a significant portfolio of LEED Registered and Certified projects. As you can see, we certainly have an outstanding reputation and provide significant expertise in the blending of Green and Sustainable Design with Preservation. If you have any queodonn, please contact me. Sincerely, Bruce R. Oah|quiotA|/\.
