Sacramento, CA Minneapolis, MN I I I Durrant July 13, 2000 Mr. Tim Moerman, Assistant City Manager City of Dubuque City Hall 50 West 13th Street Dubuque, IA 52001 RE: Vision Iowa Funding Dear Tim: Attached you will find a copy of the Vision Iowa Fund Application Phase 1 Scope of Work (located in Section B) edited as we discussed during our meeting on Monday afternoon. The Scope of Work contemplated by this Phase 1 document is tailored to address two key objectives. First, it will determine the scope and provide a design concept for a proposed Mississippi River National Education and Conference Center and site it in the context of the Ice Harbor Urban Renewal District to work effectively with current and proposed uses in that District. Second, as we complete the Scope of Work described in the attachment we will prepare the color renderings described in order that they provide strong graphic support for the Vision Iowa Fund Application that will be prepared by the City of Dubuque and its partners. I would like to comment briefly on several aspects of our proposal that we have discussed with you and your Primary Work Group. The Team Durrant and The Leonard Parker Associates (TLPA), part of The Durrant Group, Inc., have presented you with our credentials to perform the required services. We have demonstrated substantial experience and knowledge in the required areas of planning and need only augment our team with one consultant, a landscape architect, to meet the requirements in the Scope of Work. RDG Crose, Gardner, Schukert, Inc. a highly respected planning and landscape architecture firm, will work with us from the inception to bring their knowledge of streetscape design and landscape architecture to the project. I will serve as Principal-in-Charge for the project and in that role will have an active, hands-on involvement throughout the project. I will be supported by Kevin Eipperle, AlA, serving as Project Director, with Leonard Parker, FAIA, Gary Mahaffey, AlA, Rich Spears, AlA and Paul Hyde, AlA providing expertise in Convention/Conference Center design and urban design. ~@ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I T. Moerman Page 2 The Process Our process is built on a work group meeting methodology that will give your Primary Work Group as well as other key stakeholders a number of opportunities to participate in the planning process. Once we receive direction to proceed, our first step will be to establish a planning calendar built around the work group meetings and key presentations. At the same time we will begin data collection in preparation for our first work group meeting. The focus of each work group meeting is as follows: Work Group Meeting 1 Day 1: Site Use Concepts Urban Linkages Streetscape Concepting Smart Growth Initiatives Parking Analysis Day 2: Conference Center Programming Unique Focus Work Group Meeting 2 Site Concept Review Urban Linkages Streetscape Design Convention Center Design Studies Image Sketches Parking Concept Work Group Meeting 3 Site Design Review Streetscape Design Conference Center Design Review Parking Design Review Pre-Final Image Drawing Review In addition to the work group meetings outlined above we have included a Work Group Meeting 4 with an open agenda in the event that another session is desirable. We have also included our participation in three stakeholder input group sessions preceding Work Group Meeting 1. In addition to the work group meetings listed above, we have included interim meetings to focus on specific areas of importance. For example, appropriate representatives of our team will meet with members of the Primary Work Group to receive input on innovative aspects of Conference Center Programming. Durrant will also participate in a public forum whereby the public is allowed to view and give input on the Master Planning Concepts prior to final design, occurring on a day scheduled for one of the Work Group Meetings. ~. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I T. Moerman Page 3 In addition, three presentations to the City Council are included. The first will occur either as part of Work Group Meeting 2 or Work Group Meeting 3. The second just before final products are prepared. The third presentation to the City Council is included after the final products are prepared. Renderings We clearly understand the importance of providing a series of high quality renderings with continuity of technique. While we have the talent in house to generate exciting graphic renderings, as we discussed, we have removed the renderings from our basic fee and provided a reimbursable allowance. This will give your Primary Work Group the option of reviewing the techniques we have available and comparing it to others available on an outsource basis. Our base proposal includes preparing the basic block plan for site and building as well as image sketches relative to material and massing that could be used either internally or turned over to an outside rendering resource. Since the rendered plans (floor and site plans) are quite a different product from the image renderings (artistic appearance) we split the allowance into two components to add flexibility to the decision process. Supporting Documentation Our proposal includes the development of supporting documentation for the conceptual parking projections, the narrative development for the Smart Growth elements and the statements of probable cost that are referenced in the attached Scope of Work. As with the renderings these materials will be provided in both hard copy and electronic format, ready for publication to support your Vision Iowa Application. Schedule The emerging schedule appears to present 90 days at a maximum to accomplish the Scope of Work. DurrantlThe Leonard Parker Associates are prepared to start work immediately upon notification and have materials ready for presentation within that time period. To meet the schedule we will require the cooperation of all involved and timely decisions. Earlier we pointed out that our immediate effort will be to begin data collection in preparation for the first work group meeting and to prepare a master schedule for the project planning activities that will give all stakeholders an opportunity to integrate projected future meetings into their calendars. In the event Vision Iowa funding requires a faster response our sizeable staff will enable us to shorten this time frame somewhat. Compensation Durrant and The Leonard Parker Associates propose to provide the services that have been described above and in the attached scope of work on an hourly basis not to exceed a maximum cost of $58,500. In addition to that, allowances have been set aside for the following reimbursable costs: Rendered plans (4) $ 9,000.00 Image Renderings (8) $20,000.00 Photography, Materials, Travel and Transportation $11,000.00 ~. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I T. Moerman Page 4 To be Provided by Others . Within the body of this proposal, we identify image drawings/plans for projects in the District that are to be redrawn so that we can include image continuity in the presentation. We expect the City and its partners to obtain the technical information (Auto CAD & Hard Copy) appropriate to their project necessary for the new renderings, along with any releases necessary to permit the use of that information by Durrant or an outside rendering resource. . Information regarding utilities infrastructure, environmental and soil conditions when they are to be considered in this planning study. . The Primary Work Group will solicit comments from meeting planners, educators and the like to provide a "state-wide" perspective on the Conference Center in advance of Work Group Meeting 1. We believe we are embarking on an exciting project that will describe a vital urban area establishing a real sense of place appropriate for Dubuque. We look forward to assisting you in your Primary Work Group with the Phase 1 Vision Iowa Fund Application design support and implementing the projects once funding is achieved. If you have any questions on our proposal please do not hesit~e to contact me. I iSincerely, Gordon E.

Durrant The Leonard Parker Associates a part of The Durrant Groupl ~, @ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Related Experience The majority of the convention center facilities designed by The Leonard Parker Associates (a part of The Durrant Group), were developed in an urban setting and included an urban design study that assisted in determining the final design of the facility. An example of a related project is the Minneapolis Convention Center. Our team has worked with the City of Minneapolis for thirteen years on various phases of this project. The first phase was to develop the Urban Design Study for the Convention Center District (CCD). The study provided a plan for development and growth of the precinct, including traffic, transportation, parking and skyway linkages into the CCD. This study analyzed the site development data and project cost data and outlined important characteristics of six alternative sites in downtown Minneapolis. Design criteria were tested against each concept plan developed. Findings were presented as site diagrams accompanied by cost data and a matrix diagram. As a result of the study, parking was located underground to allow a civic plaza at street level, connecting the Center with the Nicollet Mall. This coincided with the completion of phase I of the 2-story, 19-acre convention center. The second phase included the design and construction of a 1200-car parking ramp, along with the addition of an arterial feeder into downtown. Today, the expansion of the Minneapolis Convention Center is currently under construction, with a focal point of a 3400-seat plenary auditorium, featuring three lecture rooms, which rotate on large turntables to subdivide the auditorium into four separate venues. This unique configuration allows greater flexibility for simultaneous events, accommodating a variety of audience sizes. The auditorium is capable of a wide range of corporate presentations, technical seminars and general sessions. The impact of this expansion has encouraged adjacent property owners to contribute towards the redevelopment of this urban community. This has been best illustrated by the development of the" Avenue of Arts," which extends from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts to the Mississippi River on the edge of downtown Minneapolis. Examples of three other convention center design projects that included urban design are The Sioux Falls Convention Center, the Pusan Convention Center and the Taegu Trade and Product Exhibition Center. These three projects are described below. The Sioux Falls Convention Center incorporates new exhibition space, meeting rooms, banquet and required ancillary support areas. The Center is connected to the existing Arena in order to form an integrated convention, exhibition, sports, entertainment and community event complex. A future full-service convention headquarters hotel was also envisioned during the urban design phase and is in the overall conceptual plan. The thriving port of the City of Pusan so'ught to reclaim under-utilized freight yards adjacent to the Suyong River and undertook a massive urban redevelopment effort. Central to this effort was the urban design and development of a state-of-the-art Pusan Durrant ~. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Durrant ~. Related Experience Convention Center complex. Scheduled for completion in 2001, this facility features over 305,000 sf of flexible exhibition space as well as a ballroom, meeting rooms, offices, below grade parking and exhibition areas. Phase 2 will include the addition of hotels, department stores and entertainment centers to the complex. Phase 3 will include a world trade center office tower. Intense planning, coordination and design are going into this massive urban redevelopment project. The new Taegu Trade and Product Exhibition Center -currently under construction in Taegu, Korea - was designed in eight months. The urban design of this project is carefully sited and its dramatic architectural features are skillfully planned and cost efficient. In addition to three levels of above grade exhibition and meeting spaces, the Taegu Trade and Product Exhibition Center also has two levels of permanent exhibition space and three levels of parking below grade. This stacking strategy optimizes land use in this congested city and provides over 170,000 sf of exhibit space with 30' to 40' ceiling clearances and parking for more than 700 cars. Many of the projects designed by The Leonard Parker Associates (TLPA), a part of the Durrant Group, were completed by the Convention Center Design Group (CCDG), a joint venture between TLPA and another Minneapolis AlE firm, since 1991. Leonard Parker, Design Principal, and Gary Mahaffey, Managing Principal, both of TLPA, represent CCDG's leadership in the development of convention facilities that cities require. Examples of TLPA's convention center and urban design project experience follows. Among them are nine CCDG projects listed below: . Minneapolis Convention Center, Minneapolis, MN . Sioux Falls Convention Center, Sioux Falls, SD . Cedar Rapids Convention Center, Cedar Rapids, IA . David C. Lawrence Convention Center Design Competition with Cesar Pelli, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania . Salt Palace Convention Center, Salt Lake City, Utah . Monona Terrace Convention Center, Madison, Wisconsin .

We judge our work by the extent to which that work responds to these guidelines: I I I Awareness of Our Time means giving form to new materials and new techniques; the other part of awareness is being conscious of and responsive to the social, historical, and economic framework In which we design and build. I I Integrating with Environment requires recognition that architecture is never the building alone but always in relation to its surroundings, whether natural or man made. Design must reflect concern for the next larger context: when designing a chair concern for the room; when designing the room concern for the building; when the building the neighborhood; when the neighborhood the city; always enhaning and reinforcing the whole. I I I Respect for Function is demonstrated only when the building is configured to fully respond to the programmed requirements of the user. Therefore the analysis and determination of needs is an essential part of the creative design process. I I I Integrity of Structure is essential to the making of architecture because architecture is the crystallization of its inner structure. There is a symbiotic relationship between technology and architecture. I Expression of Meaning is part of the inspirational purpose of architecture answering the question; how best to expressively convey the essence and meaning of the building? I I I ,.1 S :] I CJ ~ c. D " ~ <. ~ ., '] Unity of Design requires establishing design concepts creatively repeated inside and out to present a total and unified expression of design intentions. Cost Awareness is an integral part of design awareness. Excellence in architecture cannot be achieved by isolating the art in architecture from economic reality. We believe the achievement of enduring architecture relies on discriminate and appropriate emphasis and application of each of the above guidelines. The extent to which each guideline is found to be meaningful and relevant is dependent on: . Philosophical Intentions of the Client . Requirements of the Program . Characteristics of the Site . Building Typology Determining at an early juncture where project type and design merge, as to what is appropriate design investigation is key to the creative process. i\. ~-ll'c, . . - .0" d . -."~.,'.,., '1lllM .1 ,~ I Interior Design I I I I Our focus is on people; innovative approaches to project challenges are our hallmark.

Durrant Durrant ~@ Profile of Firm History In 1933, with a vision for growth, service and success, architect Joseph G. Durrant opened his first office in Boscobel, Wisconsin. After the end of the second world war a Chicago office was opened and Ray Bergquist joined Joe Durrant to form the partnership of Durrant and Bergquist in February of 1946. The influence of the firm had grown to cover the states of Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa. In 1948, the partners decided that Dubuque, Iowa would be the firm's headquarters. The partners opened our first Dubuque office in the summer of 1948. By 1953, the firm of four people had grown to 18; and in 1961 four new partners were added. The partnership was reconstituted as Durrant Deininger Dommer Kramer Gordon (DDDKG) in 1963. The next year a new office was opened in Watertown, Wisconsin. The electrical engineering firm of Boehme & Batterman Inc. of Madison, Wisconsin, was purchased in 1974 and assumed responsibility for all electrical engineering work. Durrant now provided full-service architecture and engineering design. In 1977, DDDKG (including Boehme & Batterman Inc.) was reorganized as The Durrant Group Inc. with Durrant Architects Inc. and Durrant Engineers Inc. as operating subsidiaries. In December, Durrant Construction Management Inc. was established. Durrant celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1983. In 1985, a third office was opened in historic Galena, Illinois, and a fourth office opened in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Flickinger & Co. Inc. of Phoenix, Arizona, and Flickinger & Associates Ltd. of Denver, Colorado, became part of Durrant in 1988. Roberts/Dinsmore Associates of Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona was acquired on January 1, 1992 and became a component company of the Durrant family.

Durrant The Leonard Parker Associates o port of The Durrant Group ~, History I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~l)57 The Leonard Parker Associates (TLPA) was founded in 1957, in Minneapolis, by Leonard S. Parker. TLPA has consistently produced award-winning projects for both private and public sector clients. The firm offers a wide range of professional services, including archi- tecture, urban design, interior design, project and quality management services. : 1[9hO's Prior to establishing his own firm, Leonard Parker was Senior Designer and Project Manager with the internationally renowned architectural firm of Eero Saarinen and Associates, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. In 1961, TLPA received their first major project, the Jewish Community Center of St. Paul, which was built for $1.2 million and has received several design awards. More than twenty-five years later, this same client hired TLPA to design a major addition to this active community center serving the citizens of St. Paul. This project was given the 25-Year Award from the AlA Minnesota in 1989. ~ 970' s In 1968, architect George Klein joined Parker to form Parker Klein Associates, Architects, Inc. During their nine-year association, Parker designed buildings for Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, the University of Minnesota and the State University System. In the mid 1970's TLPA worked with internationally renowned architect, Kenzo Tange of Japan, to design major renovations and additions to the Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts Complex, including the new Children's Theater. In 1977, Mr. Parker purchased Klein's stock and and re-named his firm, The Leonard Parker Associates, Architects, Inc. Leonard Parker was elected to the College of Fellows of the AlA in 1979. I ~ 980' s During the 1980's, The Leonard Parker Associates produced some of their most notable work including the Humphrey Institute, the Minneapolis Convention Center, and the Minnesota Judicial Center. In these years the firm won three major commissions through national design competitions. The first, in 1983, was an invited competition for the School of Law, University of Missouri. The Minnesota Judicial Center was awarded in 1985, and has since won several local and national design awards. The Labor and Industries Building in Tumwater, Washington, completed in 1992, was awarded through a design/build competition won by TLPA and OPUS. This progressive project has been recognized for both its design and environmental excellence. In 1986 Leonard Parker was awarded the Gold Medal from the Minnesota Society American Institute of Architects for his contribution to the high quality of Architecture in the State of Minnesota. Building on the firms growing list of accomplishments, TLPA was chosen to design the U.S. Embassy in Santiago, Chile, which opened in 1994. I I I I I c' e ~ t- - History I I I I I I I I I I I I I I : 1990' s In this decade the principal shareholders group was expanded and the firm has continued to grow. Senior principals Gary Mahaffey and Stephan Huh were elected to the College of Fellows of the AlA in 1994 and 1995 respectively. Gary Mahaffey was elected President in 1994. In 1997, Steve Huh was elected President and CEO of the firm with Leonard Parker taking on a new position as Chairman of the Board. This decade has seen TLPA expanding their practice to work internationally, first with the U.S. Embassy in Chile, and the South Korean Embassy in Canada, and then winning several projects in Korea. The firm won their first international competition, for the South Korean Embassy in Ottawa, Canada, and their first Korean competition, a Cultural Center and Regional Headquarters for the Korea Electric Power Company (KEPCO). TLPA has expanded their professional services to include full Interior Design services, as well as expanded pre-design and commissioning services. The firm has also been expanding their traditional areas of practice (higher education, libraries, justice and governmental facilities) with initiatives to pursue new project types: corporate facilities, convention centers, hotel and hospitality facilities, corrections and detention facilities, and K-12 schools. The Leonard Parker Associates, Architects Inc. won the Firm Award from AlA Minnesota in 1995. 1999 marked a pivotal and eventful year for The Leonard Parker Associates through the merger with the Durrant Group. This alliance advances the goals of both firms and creates a formidable partnership. The merging of TLPA and Durrant combines design excellence, technical expertise, quality service, and provides a broader range of depth in the fields of architecture and engineering. I 2000 As we enter the next century The Leonard Parker Associates will continue to grow, fostering creative, exciting architecture. TLPA has provided over 40 years of design excellence and will continue to test the bounds of architecture. I I I I I T 'I e Leo~oc,j e n ( i<. e '" t. :; _ c ( e I Durrant ~ I I Perspectives I "We have had nothing but exceptional dealings with Durrant. From my perspective over the last 16 years, the quality of their work has been superb. Obviously, in this industry, we've had to ask for a few changes. They're carried out quickly and in a very customer- oriented fashion. From my experience, I can only say that we've been very pleased with Durrant's work." Colee Hospers Vice President of Patient Care Services/Chief Nurse Officer Ottumwa Regional Health Center Ottumwa, Iowa A Living Document The first step in master planning is understanding the dynamics of your industry, and your organization in particular. The master plan then functions as a tool for measuring facility and site needs against industry changes. A master plan is a living, dynamic document-it is not stagnant. The master plan outlines a series of smaller components or plans which delineate future projects and attach a dollar value, a time line for implementation, and a prioritized schedule. The value of the master plan is measured by how well it evolves with your organization. Used daily in decision making, it keeps your facilities in step with your business needs and answers the question, "When will we need the money for improvements?" The timing of resources is critical, and the master plan becomes the master schedule. Finding Solutions The next step in master planning is seeking and finding solutions to determine present and future facility, systems, and site needs. Solutions are found through identifying and addressing problems. To do this, Durrant uses several methods, including: · understanding anticipated changes in your industry · collecting and analyzing data on existing operations, systems, facilities, land use, and site restrictions . tracking and analyzing demographic trends · using techniques such as "visioning" (in which people gather in a facility to envision what it will look like in the future); and charrettes (pre-design brainstorming sessions to address program- ming issues and design concepts). The results of this analysis become the basis of the master plan as it addresses how, when, and why improvements need to be made. A Long-Term Commitment Understanding long-term trends and their effects on facilities is important. Recent trends in master planning point to a desire by clients to have more participation in the planning process. Durrant professionals work with you throughout the master planning process. Personnel are assigned to your project based on the match between their skills and specializations and your needs. This results in a master plan that is aligned with your business dynamic. Both public and private sector organizations strive to improve facilities, provide more resources, and improve the I quality of services offered. Master planning helps you make cost-effective decisions consistent with long-term goals. I Planning For The Future I When more than one facility is involved, master planning takes on a new dimension. Planning for a "campus" environment involves not only how facilities will look and function, but how they will fit with existing facili- I ties and systems. Site planning needs to accommodate future growth. Systems, infrastructure, I and site should be flexible and geared to expansion and change. I I An integral part of Durrant master planning services is consideration of adjacent departments within your organi- I zation, as well as the needs of the surrounding community, facilities, and systems. Projects may affect road and circulation I patterns in the area or may require upgrades to utilities. Durrant is committed to creating master plans that evolve with your organization well into the future. II I I, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I <Ill Children in crisis need a safe place to go. Now they have Casa de Los Niiios and the Angel Crisis Nursery in Tucson, Arizona, to help in painful family situations. Durrant and the owner worked together from development of a 10-year master plan, to land acquisition coordination and alternatives for new facilities, to fund-raising assistance and completion of Phase I, the Angel Crisis Nursery. The nursery serves as an anchor for future site development, and as a prototype for similar facilities nationwide. Durrant's master planning services for Sahuarita Unified School District, Sahuarita, Arizona, started at the most basic level - assisting the District in passing a bond referendum. Master planning for the District's main campus and one elementary school campus followed. The main campus conceptual plan incorporated a 30-acre land expansion for the new high school and proposed reuse of existing resources by renovating several schools for use by other grades. T ... The Byron (Illinois) Community School District enlisted Durrant's master planning expertise in 1992. .
