SECTION I SCOPE OF WORK
Client: Architect:
Village of Croton-on-Hudson Sullivan Architecture, PC

It is our understanding that it is the intention of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson (the
Village) to improve and expand the former Residence at Gouveia Park, 1300 Albany
Post Rd, Croton-On-Hudson, NY 10520. The program is based upon initial information
and discussions with the Village, representatives as follows:
e Design of two a (2) story addition, approximately 16 feet onto the existing south
side/apron, to accommodate the expansion of the footprint to support the
relocation of the parks department office and activities.
e Renovate the second floor to create open areas for events.
e The facility will require new ADA upgrades that include an elevator and compliant
ADA toilet facilities along with compliant drinking fountain and kitchen/pantry
facilities.
e Review previously prepared reports; drawings of the facility and proposed
improvements; site plans and any other documents available that are to be
considered for future uses.
e This proposal is based upon ‘CAD’ documents and an as-built survey provided
by the Client to Sullivan Architecture (SA). Therefore, at this time, field
measurements, drafting, and elevations are not required to be provided by SA.
However, should existing documents be insufficient, SA services and fees for this
work will be as noted on Page 5 / Compensation.

SECTION I! SCOPE OF SERVICES
SERVICES
The following is an outline of architectural services that SA proposes to address the
program. Mechanical and structural engineering services are not included. Future
Phases of service, once established, will include these engineering disciplines. We will
advise the Village should the services of other consultants be required. Such services
may include; civil engineering, landscape architecture and environmental consultants.
PHASE | - PRE-DESIGN SERVICES:
1. SAvwill begin this phase by meeting with the Village and all stakeholders as invited
by the Village to confirm the goals and project program to verify specific program
needs and spatial requirements. This should include both immediate and future
needs of the departments and Village.
2. SA shall visit the proposed location and conduct a walk-through/site visit to
become familiar with the space, site and immediate context.
3. We will observe the site conditions and photograph the building areas being
considered and prepare a set of existing condition floor plans and exterior
elevations which will serve as a basis for design studies. We will also include site
opportunities and prepare building floor plans. Note: The client shall provide copies
of all existing building documents and site plans in CAD format.
4. We will review previously prepared reports for our understanding of department
operation and spatial needs.
5. The existing HVAC, plumbing, electrical and structural systems will be observed
for their abilities to accommodate any alterations or expansion. This will not include
studies of these systems — only to observe any clear conflicts. The Village will
handle change of existing septic to a forced main and provide new electrical
service if required. The initial design assumption is to remove existing oil fired
boiler and transition to electrical heat pump system and electric on demand hot
water systems as designed by others.
6. The Village will provide copies of an updated as-built survey map to be prepared
by a surveyor (to include topography, utilities, etc.), also in CAD format.
7. SA shall prepare a zoning review based upon the Village zoning ordinance to
outline the zoning requirements (i.e. setbacks, use permits, etc.) if applicable.

SECTION I! SCOPE OF SERVICES
PHASE II - SCHEMATIC DESIGN ALTERNATES:
Based upon a review of the project program identified in Phase | services, SA shall
prepare design alternates to illustrate opportunities (and constraints) of the project.
1. Initially, we will prepare a design presented in sketch format and will include
building floor plans and a site plan, as well as alternative plans (if applicable) to
provide design options.
2. We shall conduct a design review session meeting with the Village and
stakeholders to review the initial designs and discuss any comments and requests
to combine two or more plans to meet the project program.
3. Following the Village’s selection of the initial design option, we will prepare a final
set of schematic design documents, to include floor plans, an exterior front
elevation, and site plan. All drawings will be rendered for presentation.
4. Astatement of estimated conceptual budget will be presented for the design. This
will include construction and miscellaneous other costs, based upon general area
costs with any annual escalations. This will not include “line item” costs.
5. A final review meeting and presentation with the Village and stakeholders will be
conducted.
