ELS ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN DESIGN

els+ architecture+ urban design phase of the two -pool center concept — this will give you and the city a clear sense of construction costs for both ideas, which we understand as critical information necessary for you to provide us with a final direction on how to move forward on PART II. 3. We understand that a splash pad component is desirable, too, and we will maintain the splash pad in the single 50m pool concept master plan as presented during our interview. Additionally, we will include a splash pad in the Two -Pool Master Plan Concept. For the two -pool concept, the splash pad will also remain as part of the programming, and consideration will be given to possibly including the splash pad within the PART II scope, all depending upon budget and discussion with the city. 4. As directed, we will eliminate the CEQA effort and assistance from our scope, as we understand the city will execute that effort internally. 5. We understand the Community Engagement scope will be brief and include our participation in a single event at the "Last Swim at Memorial Pool", an event that will precede the decommissioning of the pool. ELS+SWA will be in attendance with a combination of graphic displays, surveys, and other materials to aid in collecting and soliciting community feedback on the future Memorial Park Aquatic Center. For PART II — Contract Documents for the Aquatic Center, we have developed a rough order of magnitude (ROM) construction cost to assist us in determining professional fees. Generally, comprehensive architecture and engineering service fees for a new aquatic center range within 11 % to 13% of the construction costs. Based upon our Friday conversation, we are basing our professional design fees on a $12MM Construction Budget. Should the budget be increased with a commensurate increase in scope and program, our fees will also need to be adjusted. Our fees include the following: Pool Concept Master Plan Options — Option 1 - Single 50m Pool Concept: This concept was presented during our interview and aligns with the original RFP direction. However, it may be difficult to achieve a 50M pool, plus required support building within a $12MM construction budget. o Option 2 - Two Pool Concept: Two pools will replace the single 50m pool shown in our interview master plan concept with a new 25-meter Pool x 25- yard pool and an approximately new 3,500sf fun -water pool, and standard pool equipment for each. However, only one of these pools and a commensurately sized building shall be included in Part II, Contract Documents. We believe a smaller building and smaller pool will give us an opportunity to deliver a Phase I construction plan within the $12MM construction budget. In addition, the following scope is included in our fees: • demolition of existing Memorial Pool Facility; • site preparation for new aquatic center (area assumed to be less than an acre) — limits defined by a line completely surrounding the proposed aquatic center (building and elsarch.com BERKELEY 1510.549.2929 LDS ANGELES 1213.348.1155 SACRAMENTO 1916.301.4411 2040 Addison Street 950 S.
