--- PAGE 1 --- Architectural Services Proposal for CROTON-on-HUDSON fi o NEW YORK Harmon Firehouse Expansion Project Sullivan Architecture, PC White Plains, New York August 11, 2022 --- PAGE 2 --- Proposal: for Harmon Fire House Date: August 11, 2022 SECTION I SCOPE OF WORK Client: Architect: Village of Croton-on-Hudson Sullivan Architecture, PC Attn: Frank Balbi, P.E., Super. Of Public Works 31 Mamaroneck Ave. 1 Van Wyck Street White Plains, New York 10601 Croton-on-Hudson, NY 10520 fbalbi@crotononhudson-ny.gov It is our understanding that it is the intention of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson (the Village) to improve and expand the Harmon Firehouse on 30 Wayne Street, Croton-on- Hudson. The program is based upon initial information and discussions with the Village, representatives as follows: e Design of a two (2) story addition, approximately 25 feet onto the existing south side/apron, to accommodate the Village EMS and to improve firematic bay depths for the fire departments. e Renovate the second floor in the area of the meeting room to create an office and area for the EMS. The facility will share elevator and egress components. e Review previously prepared reports; drawings of the existing firehouse and previously proposed improvements; site plans and any other documents available that are to be considered for future. 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. Sullivan Architecture, PC — Page | --- PAGE 3 --- Proposal: for Harmon Fire House Date: August 11, 2022 SECTION II 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 in Phase II services. 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, EMS, and firehouse members (if requested) 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 and adjacent buildings. 3. We will generally field measure 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. 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.) as applicable. Sullivan Architecture, PC — Page 2 --- PAGE 4 --- Proposal: for Harmon Fire House Date: August 11, 2022 SECTION II SCOPE OF SERVICES PHASE Il - 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/EMS/ firehouse/team 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. A front elevation or photomontage will also be prepared. All drawings will be rendered for presentation. 4. A statement of estimated project 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, Village Board of Trustees, EMS, and Fire Department will be conducted.
