We have reviewed the Scope of Work of the project in the RFP and completed a walk thru of your facilities, and we thoroughly understand your project. BOA will provide Architectural and Engineering services for the ADA Improvements to your restrooms at your PAAL Center. The following is our project understanding. The scope of our work will be to renovate the existing pair of children's restrooms (boys and girls), existing men's and women's restroom and single occupant staff restroom. Our goal for this project is not to decrease the number of plumbing fixtures as it is often the case with restroom ADA Compliance due to the required space needs and clearances. We pride ourselves in being problem solvers and thinking "outside the box" to save our client money. In many of our past ADA Compliance projects, we have been able to maintain the same the number of plumbing fixtures with minimal wall reconfiguration. This has proven to be a plus for our clients, especially in facilities that serve large gatherings and host special events. We will also replace restroom signage with new ADA Compliant signage that will be compatible will the building signage for visual access. We will make sure that your facilities meet your commitment to aesthetic, patron safety, ease of maintenance use -ability, and meet your future accessibility needs. We also understand that your budget for construction is very tight. We will make sure your dollars are spent wisely and our product is "value added". Anticipated Approach: • We will renovate all five restrooms for ADA compliance. The renovation of these restrooms may involve removing adjacent walls and cabinets to provide ADA clearances. We will work to limit the scope of work to the existing walls of the restroom as much as possible and make an effort to not change the structure of the building. • Renovation of all the restrooms will include new plumbing fixtures, accessories, exhaust vent covers/grilles, new sink counters at all restrooms, new lighting fixtures, new floor, wall and ceiling finishes. Tasks Necessary for Successful Completion: • Conduct ADA compliance site survey to verify existing conditions and field measurements • Verify scope with City and Facilty Staff • Interview maintenance staff for facility needs, and product and material preferences • Provide drawings at the Schematic Design Phase to verify scope and restroom layouts • Provide drawings for review and feedback at 50%, 90% and 100% construction documents Deliverables: • Atthe 50%, 90% and 100% Construction Document Submissions, BOAwill provide documents suitable for public bidding and construction • Drawings will include, floor plans, enlarged restroom plans, interior elevations, sections, and details • Project CSI technical specifications.
