- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY -
REQUIREMENTS OF THE WORK

We believe the architectural and engineering services for the Proposed Project will include the following:

• Request the Owner’s representative for the project be established at the beginning and the Owner’s line of authority for various types of decisions be established to effectively decide the design and construction issues.
  


• Assign Leland A. Gray as the project designer. He is the Owner’s contact throughout the project and will coordinate the work with LPDJ architects consultants, with the Owner’s consultants, and with the Owner’s project manager. Jesse M. Harris will support the project by providing the proposed agreements and processing forms, facilitating the communication documentation, providing project schedule updates and budget updates, writing the specifications, and coordinating quality assurance inspections during construction.
  


• Provide a Form of Agreement to the Proposed Project that is designed to be Owner friendly but still fair to the Architect and its Consultants. LPDJ architects will use other agreement forms such as the AIA form if the Owner prefers.
  


• Complete a Schematic Design to confirm the project scope, program, budget, schedule and specialized consulting services before the Design Phase is fully in progress.
  


• Establish the project team that will have the expertise and depth of experience to provide optimum credibility for the decisions, recommendations and solutions.
  


• Provide the building designs that will fulfill the Owner’s image, budget, and operating objectives. We believe concrete thin- shell domes and a space frame as shown in the attached schematic design drawings will provide the best space for the Owner’s program. The combination of concrete thin-shell construction, enough openings to provide natural ventilation, and a split system HVAC system will also allow the Owner to operate the building for the lowest cost.
  


• Encourage the Owner to negotiate the construction contracts through an Owner’s project manager so they can:
  1. Have the best access to the pre-approved contractors.
  2. Have direct control of the construction cost.
  3. Have flexibility to make decisions that will be the most beneficial for the project.
