WORK PLAN <br /> 2.2 EVALUATION AND COLLECTION OF ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY <br />In order to provide as complete a design for this stage, as accurate a project cost opinion and <br />funding request as possible, more information will be required to provide a credible basis for the <br />project in the predesign deliverable. These things include, but are not limited to: <br />a) Stormwater Study <br />b) Event Programming and Fiscal Feasibility Study <br />c) Parking Study <br />d) Technical Site Survey <br />e) Geotechnical Evaluations <br />f) Precedent Studies (Examples of similar projects) <br />a. We understand the stormwater study is nearly complete for this site, which was initiated as <br />a result of idea study Oertel Architects initially completed for Mounds View. The results of <br />this study will have impacts on the scope of the project on-site, as well as potential regional <br />impacts and sustainable building strategy implementation impacts. This will need to be <br />completed and reviewed by our team to fully understand the impacts of this expansion <br />project on the site. <br />b. It will be important to understand the types and sizes of events and fiscal impact as <br />developed in that study by CSL. Those impacts will help develop expectations for the <br />proposed design in terms of amenities, finishes, and appearance. <br />c. Parking impacts will be a critical design element for this project. Parking demand will <br />influence and be influenced by the stormwater study and the economic impact study. The <br />ultimate parking demand will be identified by city standards, but also meeting expectations <br />by event planners and end users. How those parking demands are met will be investigated <br />and implemented in this predesign and concept design process. Important to understand <br />will also be the impacts of mass transit and multi-modal transportation on the use of this <br />project. This is also a critical component of the B3 Guidelines as well. <br />d. The previous idea study was developed using aerial photography from online resources. To <br />complete a realistic and implementable design, the design team will need a full technical site <br />survey to establish buildable area limitations, grading and utility design feasibility. <br />e. Geotechnical Evaluations will be important at this stage to demonstrate that a structure <br />of this size and use is feasible on this site. Our team feels confident in our previous design <br />experience on similar projects and as part of the initial idea study, that we could assist the <br />city in securing these services early in the process to properly inform design decisions and <br />ultimate project costs. <br />f. Understanding what has been done previously in surrounding communities will help <br />properly scope the project and identify wants and needs for space and quality within this <br />project. This is also a critical component of the Predesign Manual submission. Oertel <br />Architects will work with the city team to facilitate those tours and establish how those tours <br />collect information to influence this project. <br />MOUNDS VIEW COMMUNITY CENTER 5
