C I P # 360-1976
DATE: July 29, 2014
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum provides the consultant selection committee's recommendation for
hiring a consultant to provide architectural design and construction administration
services for the Multicultural Family Center — Phase II Renovation Project.
BACKGROUND
As part of the City's Capital Improvement Program budget, funding has been approved
to make additional improvements to the MFC. Planned work includes full renovation of
the second floor to create approximately six offices and 2-4 cubicles, a conference
room, reception desk and waiting area, a unisex restroom and small kitchenette. The
office would be used by the Human Rights Department, the MFC Director and Assistant
Director. Additional work would include reconfiguration of the main entrance to the
building, installation of an elevator to serve all levels, and expansion of the large
conference room in the back of the building. Brick tuck pointing and other exterior
maintenance work will be performed to ensure the building envelope remains weather
tight.
DISCUSSION
The City Council approved the release of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for this
project on June 16, 2014. Five proposals were received by the July 2, 2014 deadline.
On July 3, 2014, the selection committee evaluated the proposals and decided to
interview three consultants — Ulstad Architects, FEH Associates Inc, and Selser
Schaefer Architects.
The following City staff served on the RFP Review committee:
• Rich Russell, Building Services Manager
• Kelly Larson, Human Rights Director
• Steve Sampson Brown, Project Manager
• Marie Ware, Leisure Services Manager
• Sarah Petersen, Acting Multicultural Family Center Director
• Erica Haugen, Assistant Housing Specialist
• Mary Brooks, Senior Budget Analyst
• John Stewart, MFC Board President
Interviews were conducted by the consultant selection committee on July 23 and 24,
2014. Following the interviews, the committee recommends Selser Schaefer Architects
be retained for the following reasons:
• Best understood the City's critical success factors for the project.
• Provided the best examples from other completed projects that illustrated innovative
space use, collaborative work furniture styles and use of color to create vibrant
spaces in the building.
• Demonstrated strong enthusiasm for the project by devoting considerable time to
investigating the existing building conditions and developing potential layouts to
show how they would meet the needs of the Multicultural Center.
• Proposed a complete project team approach that would address all aspects of the
project.
The submitted proposal fees for the project are as follows:
Selser Schaefer (Dubuque)
FEH (Dubuque)
Ulstad (Dubuque)
Shive-Hattery (Moline, IL)
Ament Design (Moline, IL)
$ 113,150
$ 126,200
$ 120,200
$ 86,500
$ 164,396
It is anticipated that the timeframe for the architectural design contract will be four
months following the signing of a professional services contract, with several phases of
construction work to be completed over nine months. The selected consultant will be
expected to complete the scope of work within the specified timeframe, under the
general direction and coordination of the City's Leisure Services and Engineering
Departments as authorized by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on review of the proposals, presentations, and interviews, the consultant
selection committee recommends that the City negotiate an agreement and execute a
contract with Selser Schaefer Architects for architectural design and construction
administration services associated with the Multicultural Family Center — Phase II
Renovation Project.
BUDGET IMPACT
The current project estimate is as follows:
Architectural Design & Construction Administration
Base Construction Costs
10% Contingency
City Engineering Costs
Total Estimated Cost
$ 113,150
$1,120,000
$ 112,000
$ 42,000
$1,387,150
The project will be funded from CIP 360-1976, with a current balance of $1,478,153.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
I respectfully request that you recommend Selser Schaefer Architects to the City
Council for the Multicultural Family Center — Phase 11 Renovation Project and that you
request City Council authority to negotiate an agreement and execute a contract for
approximately $114,000 with Selser Schaefer Architects for architectural and
construction administration services.

SIMILAR PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Selser Schaefer Architects knows how to do renovation and/or expansion
projects. We've completed over 400. In addition, every one of our 1000+ projects
incorporates functional, efficient pace planning and design. ,
200 EAST BRADY OFFICE BUILDING
Through the careful and imaginative use of light, space, materials and
technology, Selser Schaefer Architects revitalized an old neglected warehouse in
Tulsa's Brady Arts District into an impressive -office space.
The original two-story, brick and concrete building was constructed in the 1920s
as a grocery warehouse. Years of neglect left the building in poor repair, but its
structural frame was sound and most of the exterior masonry was intact. To keep
the building's industrial aesthetic, its walls, columns and ceilings were cleaned,
painted and left exposed. All the building's original steel windows were salvaged.
Wood -frame and ground floor windows were replaced with aluminum -frame'
windows that match the original profiles. To increase the amount of natural Light,
the crumbling west facade was replaced with a solar -glass yvall with operating
windows and automated solar shades.
Geothermal wells located in the adjacent landscaped parking lot provide the
building with a sustainable supply of ground -source heating and cooling. The
automated solar shades on the glass wall facade and heavily insulated exterior
walls efficiently control the building's heat gain and loss. Daylighting throughout
the building significantly reduces artificial lighting.
300 EAST BRADY OFFICE BUILDING, •
A classic example of art deco industrial architecture, 300 East Brady was slated
for demolition. Instead the abandoned warehouse, originally constructed for
Holloway Wire Rope in 1937, was transformed into office space and a second -
story loft apartment that brings life to Tulsa's growing Brady Arts District.
The existing building was restored to its original appearance, helping to maintain
the historic fabric of the neighborhood. The addition's design is respectful of the
existing building and reflects materials and structural systems commonly used
for industrial warehouses in the area in the 1930s.
Despite the building's age sustainable design elements were incorporated into
the design. In addition to re -using the entire shell of the building, we restored
the steel windows and geo-thermal wells provide the building with a sustainable
supply of ground -source heating and cooling.
240 WEST 2ND STREET OFFICE BUILDING
The opportunity to open new doors and expand the
firm's collaborative work arose when long=time
members of the Selser Schaefer Architects team,
Andrew and Emily McCready, returned home to their
Dubuque roots.
The desire for an open and collaborative office
environment drove the design of this late 1800s era
storefront interior remodel Located in downtown
Dubuque. A translucent and moveable entry element
greets visitors with a veil of privacy yet provides an
invitation to step inside. Crisp white walls create a
blank canvas for project photography and local
art. Simple light fixtures are'suspended from the
original wood ceiling and large open windows
allow light to flow throughout the space. Flexible
workstations, open shelving, and group gathering
areas complete the remodeled space.
ICE HOUSE
The Ice House is an adaptive reuse of the former
Tulsa Ice Company building, built in the mid -
1920s. Located just east of the Tulsa Pearl District
this facility was transformed into a single tenant
professional office building.
.As the office space for Selser Schaefer Architects,
Ice House maintains the industrial aesthetic of the
past while skillfully meshing clean contemporary
elements transforming this beautiful old warehouse
into a collaborative urban workspace.
The single story space boasts -an open style plan,
allowing for creative collaboration, which is key to
the success of the company.
Following are examples of clients with whom
we've formed relationships completing numerous
projects similar to the Multicultural Family Center
renovation.

SIMILAR PROJECT EXPERIENCE '•
TULSA COMMUNITY -COLLEGE
When TCC called with a dream to build a physical therapy clinic, we accepted
the challenge to make their dream a reality. This adaptive reuse of a former
car dealership became both a clinic for the community and a learning lab for
students with classroom, office and lab space for the school's Physical Therapy
Assistant program.
We have worked on 9 projects for TCC since 2005.
CHURCH ON THE MOVE
Oneighty began with a handful of teenagers as an outreach of Church on
the Move. Now with over 90,000 sq. -ft., the facility offers a diverse blend of
both activities and a worship experience for over 700 kids.
This remodel converted space into classrooms. Flexibility is the key in
meeting the needs of.this dynamic, energetic, and techno-savvy age group.
The new clas"srooms each have full multi -media AN capability and are able
to accommodate everything from a single speaker, or full scale theatrical
production, to a classroom setting, or casual gathering space.
Since 2008, our firm has worked on over 50 projects with Church On The
Move and have expanded and/or renovated over 150,000 square feet of existing
space, including offices and program spaces.

THE UNIVERSITY OF TULSA
Our association with TU began in 2008. Due to the
high quality of our work and our responsiveness,
that relationship continues to grow. We have
completed nearly 30 projects to date including:
Williams Student Services Center Remodel
When TU was given the opportunity to enhance
the Williams Student Services Center, they knew
it would be a challenge to select an architect,
design, document, and construct the facility in
16 weeks. We worked with university personnel to
meet this aggressive schedule. The result was a
collaborative effort that provides the students
and staff a comfortable, open, and efficient space.
National Energy Policy Institute Remodel
The key to the Tulsa headquarters of the National
Energy Policy Institute remodel was to -make
the most of a small space. Listening closely to the
client's needs, a former dormitory suite with low
ceilings and very little daylighting was transformed
into a lively, well -organized environment of
carefully selected materials and colors, bursting
with natural light.
Alexander Health Center Renovation
The goat of this renovation was to provide additional
space and improve function for the University's
hard-working medical staff and their patients,
while respecting the building originally designed by
modernists Murray Jones Murray. The renovated
space addresses the demanding programmatic
needs of a medical facility and maintained a minimal
project cost.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Based on our current understanding of the existing
conditions and desired project scope, Selser
Schaefer Architects is able to satisfy the scope of
services for the currently approved budget as listed.
Our years of experience help us design phased
renovation projects that are completed in budget and
on time: We set realistic expectations and present
creative solutions to give you a dynamic new space
that accomplishes your goals. We are determined to
do our very best for each and every client.
The architectural process is creative and technical.
At Selser Schaefer Architects, we are the best
of both. Our design approach and work plan will
accomplish the following:
- Design improvements for the Multicultural Family
Center to create a welcoming, inviting, and
functional space for the Dubuque community as
well as a collaborative office environment on the
2nd floor
- Improve the building exterior and explore the
options and feasibility of a 2nd floor expansion
- Communicate clearly; provide the necessary
reports and updates throughout the design and
construction process
- Follow through on every promise
Spend your money as if it is our own
- Make our deadlines, and yours
- Stay in budget
Andrew McCready AIA will be your Project•Manager
and Contract Administrator during construction.
He will be responsible for keeping your project
on time and in budget, as well as the day-to-day
communication with the project team.
Andrew will be your single point of contact from
initial programming through construction.
BASIC WORK PLAN STRATEGIES / OPTIONS
STRATEGY A: 2 BID RELEASE DATES, 3 BID PACKAGES
We propose a 16 week design schedule and the production of 3 bid packages with
2 bid release dates. To accomplish this strategy, the following milestones must
also be feasible for The City. Predesign would commence on 8.18.14, allowing
6 weeks for The City of Dubuque to complete the Architectural Consultant selec-
tion and contract negotiation process. Schematic Design would last 4 weeks
and address the project holistically. This approach will bring a cohesive and well
thought-out design for the facility before documentation begins.
Construction Documentation for Phase I, front entrance/elevator, would be
. completed and released for bid in a separate package on 11.3.14. Meanwhile,
Phases II -IV would have an additional 5 weeks in design/documentation and
be released for bid on 12.8.14. A detailed schedule and the project deliverables
are on Page 11.
STRATEGY B: 1 BID RELEASE DATE, 2 BID PACKAGES
An alternate strategy allows for 2 bid packages to be released for bid at the same
time. The variations from Strategy 1 include a predesign commencement of
8.04.14, allowing 4 weeks for The City of Dubugile to complete the Architectural
Consultant selection and contract negotiation process, and the entire project
would go to bid on 11.17.14.-
This
1.17.14.
This strategy would allow the entire project to be designed and documented
together. Releasing the bid packages together would be advantageous to The
City as it will allow you to see all bid responses at one time to help ensure the
project budget is upheld. A detailed schedule and the project deliverables are
on Page 11.
OPTION: REDUCE HOURS ON SUGGESTED CA SCOPE OF WORK
We suggest a reduction of the Architectural Project Managers suggested 1-2
hours each day spent on-site, while work is occuring, throughout the duration of
construction. We feel the time spent could be reduced to 1-2 hours each week
without compromising the integrity of the project, and would result in a lessened
fee from the chosen Consultant firm.
Selser Schaefer Architects will produce the required paperwork, forms, and
reports necessary for The City of Dubuque and will keep this project on time and
in budget. The following provides an overview of how our firm will conduct the
design process.
BASIC WORK PLAN
PREDESIGN
Will begin with a visit to the project site and a review of the existing conceptual
floor plan. We will then lead a meeting with stakeholders to understand and
confirm the needs, goals, challenges, desires, budget and schedule for the entire
project. We will uncover the key issues, prioritize and verify each one, and then
address those issues in the Concept Design.
Using the information gathered in the PreDesign meeting(s), we will create the
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), the critical path project -schedule, the Total
Project Cost budget worksheet, and the Progress Report template. We will meet
with the City Project Manager to review communication methods and desired
frequency of updates and submission process. We will also discuss the most
economical way to organize the bid packages and align the design schedule with
the City's approval process timeline.
We can provide a brief technical memorandum that lists all Federal, State and
City reviews throughout the design and construction process. We will be sure to
include the implications (if any) on the anticipated completion date of the project.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
Selser Schaefer Architects will present multiple concepts. We tailor each
design to your needs. There is no off-the-shelf solution. We will document the
advantages and disadvantages of each concept and with your input develop the
final design. Energy goals will be confirmed during this phase.
The final design concept will,include the floorplan, exterior updates, and interior
design. Interior Design is integrated into every project including options for
colors, finishes, and materials.
BIM, a 3D modeling software, helps to communicate the design and develop
construction documents, so renderings can be produced easily throughout the
design process. This software will help you to understand and "see" your design
before construction begins.
At this point, it will be confirmed, together with the City Project Manager, ,
which projects should be bid together and which should be sent out in separate
packages.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Next the concept will be refined, code requirements will be confirmed, and
value engineering incorporated. As requested, an additional submittal will be
prepared for ADA, Building Code and Fire Code Report listing the applicable code
requirements for each. An on -board review meeting will be held to review the
project progress and we will present options for
ENERGY STAR certification level for the project.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION
Our firm regularly holds internal technical review
meetings with our consultant team. As the
documents are developed, outstanding issues are
documented ancl tracked. For your project, we will
track these items and use the WBS form to keep
the project on schedule. For the on -board review
Meeting during this phase, The City of Dubuque
Project Manager will be provided a complete set
of 90% construction documents and the list of
outstanding issues. This information is provided
prior to the meeting, in order to allow individuals
adequate time to review and comment. We wilt then
hold a review meeting to review the documents
in-depth and discuss every comment. The City of
Dubuque will always be an active member of the
team. We design based on your feedback and will
always keep you in the loop.
BIDDING SERVICES
It is essential that bid documents are accurate and
well prepared in order to gather the most accurate
and in -budget bids. Each of the services outlined
in the RFP is alt within our typical scope during the
bidding process. It is a process we conduct regularly.
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION
Contract Administration is critical. Site visits by
the architects and our consultants assures the
owner will receive a quality project that adheres
to the requirements set forth in the construction
documents. We will monitor the schedule, review
contractor's applications for payment, review
submittals, and respond to contractor's questions.

QUALITY CONTROL PROCESS

4441 igprir
Quality is critical to the success of every project. At Selser Schaefer Architects,
quality is not simply a buzz word. It's the way we do business. Our quality control
process includes carefully timed in-depth review meetings by the project team,
documentation and tracking of all outstanding issues and the use of Building
Information Modeling (BIM) software. Individually these steps don't mean a great
deal. But combined, they provide the framework for an effective and efficient
quality assurance process that actually works.
Our firm regularly holds internal technical review meetings with our consultant
team. As the documents are developed, outstanding issues are documented
and tracked. For your project, we will track these items and use the WBS form
to keep the project on schedule. For the on -board review meeting during this
phase, The City of Dubuque Project Manager will be provided a complete set of
90% construction documents -and the list of outstanding issues. This information
is provided prior to the meeting, in order to allow individuals adequate time
to review and comment. We will then hold a review meeting to review the
documents in-depth and discuss every comment.
Quality customer service and quality documents are key to the project's success.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN/DESIGN DEVELOPMENT - 10 HOURS

officers, agents, and employees from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses,
including but not limited to attorneys' fees, arising out of or resulting from performance of the
Contract, provided that such claim, damages, loss or expense is attributable to bodily injury,
sickness, disease or death, or injury to or destruction of property including loss of use resulting
therefrom, but only to the extent caused to whole or in part by negligent acts or omissions of the
Consultant, Consultant's subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by

Comment [GV3]: Delete "in whole or in part_
The point of the phrase (and coordination with,
the unaltered last sentence) is to require that
the AE indemnify for damages caused 99% by
some other person (including the City and any
indemnified party) but caused only i% by the
AE's negligence, because the damages are
caused to any degree, however, slight, by the
AE's negligence . The AE's professional liability
insurance will pay only the i% caused by the
AE's negligence. As drafted, the clause would
exculpate a party 99% responsible for the
damages or injury, while imposing t00%
liability on the AE for an obligation that is only
t% insurable. The AE cannot insure the Owner's
or other indemnified party's negligence, but
those persons can. The deletion restores the
indemnity to a posture where each party is
responsible for that party's legal liability_
Comment [GV2]: Comment GV'_ applies equally
to this deletion &addition.
minimum of delay during construction. The above and foregoing is not to be constructed as a
limitation of the City's right to seek recovery of damages for negligence on the part of the
Consultant herein.

prepared under this Agreement shall become the property of the City and shall be delivered to
the Project Manager upon completion of the plans or termination of the services of the
