We have completed our initial services agreement dated November 1, 2022 and it is our
understanding that the Village of Croton-on-Hudson (the Village) wishes to move
forward with the Addition/Alterations to the Harmon Fire House — Station #3.
This agreement is for Architectural and Structural services only and our continued
services are based upon the following new program:
e Provide documents to construct a two-story addition (31’ wide x 40’ deep) on the
north side (rear of the existing fire station) with access from the west side from
Wayne Street via two ambulance bays and a new egress side door. The addition
has a flat roof for MEP equipment to accommodate EMS operations. The new
EMS facility will directly connect to the existing fire station and share ADA
elevator, exit stairs, toilet facilities and other program space with the existing
e Documents will be in a format to gain approvals from the building department and
the Village who will directly bid the work. Documents will include electrical and
lighting (RCP) layout plans along with architectural and structural construction
documents including plans, elevations, foundation plans, details and specification
to describe the scope of work and meet the NYS Building codes applicable.
e itis the intent of the Village to coordinate MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing)
and Fire Protection directly with vendors and if required, retain a consulting
engineer under a separate agreement or through the architect.
e The Village will also retain a soil testing contractor and a geotechnical engineer
to provide the design team with Soil boring logs and a report. The report shall
recommend the allowable bearing pressure, foundation type, groundwater
elevations, specifications for the placement of fill, or working of soils. The report
must provide all information required by IBC Section 1803 Geotechnical
