Re: Proposal for Architectural Design Services
Dear Mr. Poprik:
Quad3 Group is pleased to submit the following proposal to provide Archti ectural Design Services to the State College Area School District. I would like to express our fi rm’s strong desire to work with the School District, the Board and the Com- munity in achieving their goals for the District.
The successful implementati on of your District’s building program will require a design team with excellent programming and planning experti se, recognized design talent, and solid organizati onal and management skills. Quad3 brings an unparal- leled combinati on of these strengths to your District:
• extensive K-12 planning and design experience • proven management skills • complete in-house architectural and engineering services • award-winning design • in-depth knowledge of the issues facing school districts
Quad3 provides conti nuing design services to many school districts within Pennsylvania. The scope of these projects rep- resents a wide range in terms of size, cost and complexity. Project types include the design of new faciliti es, district-wide master plans, complex renovati on projects, PlanCon submissions, and extensive site and uti lity work.
I believe Quad3 Group’s approach to design, its sensiti vity to planning issues, use of sustainable elements and its team ap- proach to designing sophisti cated K-12 faciliti es would be a signifi cant benefi t to the State College Area School District in the realizati on of its objecti ves. Should you have any questi ons regarding our proposal package, please feel free to contact me at 570.829.4200, Ext. 279.
Thank you for your considerati on.
Sincerely,

SAMUEL S. SCARANTINO, AIA Director, Architecture, Engineering & Building Systems 2. Integrated Sustainable Design
Sustainable Design
Quad3 Group’s environmentally conscienti ous architectural and engineering designs seek to create environmentally sustainable spaces that are healthy for the occupants. Our architects, engineers and environmental scienti sts consider knowledge of environmental opti ons to be central to our responsibiliti es as designers. Our in-house experts have developed minimum practi ce standards for environmentally fragile sites, energy effi cient buildings, product specifi cati on, and indoor air quality. Our design team evaluates data from the toxicity of building materials to the environmental status of hardwoods, texti les, lighti ng systems, insulati on materials, and glazing and wall assemblies. Our professionals acti vely learn of “green” issues that are regularly featured at trade show seminars and through special issues.
Architects and engineers can have a direct impact on conserving natural resources and lowering outdoor polluti on through energy conservati on and effi ciency; through water conservati on; and through promoti on of recycling and use of recycled and recyclable materials and products.
Quad3 Group has developed the following criteria for building and furniture product selecti on. These criteria set forth a guideline for inclusion of ecologically or environmentally “aware” products. In order to protect the environment, the manufacturer and individual product must:
Materials • Contribute toward human, animal and biosphere health in the avoidance of all polluti on sources: • Exhibit low emissions or toxics; • Uti lize pesti cide-free organic materials as a majority of product; • Uti liti zati on of sustainable materials from properly managed sources.
Energy • Minimal energy consumpti on in the creati on of product; • Uti lize in an acti ve or passive way new energy technologies in the producti on of product; • Contribute toward new energy technologies through the use of product; • Reuti lizati on of energy and resources within manufacturing facility; • Strict avoidance of non-organic chemical usage; • Uti lizati on of renewable materials from properly managed locati ons; • Contribute to the concept of ecology and symbioti c relati onship of man to nature.
Transportati on • Uti lize regional resources for majority of product; • Minimizes shipping between sources for product parts, simplicity of assembly, and distributi on systems;

• Minimizes packaging materials; • Uti lizes alternati ve fuels, ie liquid, hydrogen, natural gas, alcohol, etc.
Life Cycle • Require minimal servicing to maintain environmental eff ecti veness of product; • Contribute to long term savings rather than short term gain; • Contribute to the life cycle fl exibility and use of materials; • Reusability and refurbishing potenti al. Conservati on • Maintain proper design of faciliti es and products to contribute toward healthy interior environments; • Employ the use of sensor devices to monitor performance and maintain high effi ciencies; • Recycling of discarded product, internal or external to own industry; • Accept materials from demoliti on or waste stream sources for reuti lizati on.
Specifi c Project Experience Gerald J. Wycallis Elementary School, Dallas School District, Dallas, PA • Renewable wood and copper components for secti ons of the structural system, seati ng and interior fi nishes • Outdoor environmental classroom (wooden log seati ng, natural landscape) • Permanent sunscreens were used on the south side to reduce heat gain and reduce mechanical costs (Passive Solar Applicati on) • Recycled fl oor materials • Recyclable plasti c grounds • Renewable wood siding materials • Use of brick masonry • Use of renewable log interior walls • Use of indigenous stone for mix in blacktop • Use of recycled plasti cs for play equipment

LEED Certi fi cati on Awarded The US Army New England Recruiti ng Batt alion located on the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kitt ery, ME is our most recently completed project that is currently under review for certi fi cati on by USGBC. Due to combined eff orts of the Navy, the con- tractor and our design team, the project currently is at a LEED Gold Certi fi cati on Level, although the Navy Standards only require the project to meet Silver Certi fi - cati on Level. If the Gold certi fi cati on level is achieved, the US Army New England Recruiti ng batt alion will be the fi rst building on the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard to achieve Gold.

Our approach begins with understanding the District’s budget and fi nancial limitati ons. Thru a series of meeti ngs with the District and its fi nancial advisors, we develop constructi on opti ons and relati ve costs tailored to that budget and goal. By providing these opti ons, we can analyze and recommend to the District the most cost eff ecti ve soluti on with long term benefi ts.
This informati on is then presented at various community and town hall meeti ngs to inform the public. The public presentati ons provides the platf orm for open dialogue, foster communicati on and encourages the public to parti cipate on the team to culti vate its educati onal faciliti es, community and most important, its students.

Educati onal Model and Curriculum
Quad3 Group’s approach to fulfi lling the project requirements begins with working in conjuncti on with the State College Area School District throughout the project. Quad3 will provide architectural, engineering design services and educati onal planning experti se to att ain your goals. We have assembled a team of professionals that are familiar with the architectural and engineering complexiti es associated with educati onal faciliti es. Our experience represents a wide range of projects in terms of size, cost and complexity. The team leader is the Project Administrator, Mr. Samuel Scaranti no. Sam has successfully guided many school districts through the complicati ons of uti lizing brick and mortar to accomplish curriculum goals. He is an outstanding communicator who will facilitate meeti ngs between the School District, school administrators, faculty, staff , community organizati ons and students.
Quad3 is very familiar with the comprehensive service requirements of a school district. We have provided complete architectural and engineering design services for some 20 additi ons, renovati ons or new constructi on projects totalling more than $80 million dollars in constructi on costs over the past fi ve years. We credit the success of those contracts to the following project practi ces: proven K-12 educati on experti se, complete in-house services, project team approach, on schedule and within budget.
Project types include the development of district-wide feasibility studies, master plans, design and constructi on of new school faciliti es, complex additi ons and renovati on projects, athleti c complexes and faciliti es, uti lity and infrastructure modernizati on and replacement projects, project phasing and temporary faciliti es.
Communicati on is key to team building and encourages all members of the design team to develop and connect to a common set of goals and objecti ves.
Study Process Our approach begins with initi al interviews with the administrati on and representati ves of the Board. These initi al interviews are to obtain informati on which defi ne the overall project needs, goals and budget. We conti nue with fi eld observati on visits to study and become familiar with existi ng faciliti es, circulati on of both pedestrian and vehicular traffi c, environmental surroundings, and overall use and atmosphere. This interacti on of our design team allows them to become integrated and familiar with the environment for which they will be striving to maintain.
Once this initi al informati on has been gathered, we will conduct additi onal interviews with the various administrators, faculty members, faciliti es departments and staff to defi ne the needs and goals from their perspecti ves.
All informati on is then complied in writt en, tabular, and graphic format which represents our understanding of the project. These documents are presented to the administrators and building committ ee for review and upon their approval presented to the full school board for fi nal approval thus recognized as the building Quad3 Group, Inc.

program. The goal is to establish a cohesive development of a building program incorporati ng the ideas of administrators and end users. The results are an effi cient, functi onable and economical faciliti es and grounds.
Data Collecti on For the purpose of evaluati ng existi ng conditi ons, the architecture and engineering team will conduct a survey of the major A/E systems for each building. These will include athleti c, administrati on, and support faciliti es. Existi ng code, ADA, site improvement and site uti lity informati on will also be collected. A review of district documented energy usage, data / communicati ons technologies and architectural record drawings will also be conducted by the team.
The educati onal planning team will conduct a review of all District materials relati ng to current and future educati onal programs and program goals. Meeti ngs will be held with the District to confi rm the current and future programs and goals. The planning team will also tour the faciliti es to survey the adequacy of existi ng spaces to deliver the programs that they house.
Organizati on and Analysis The Organizati on and Analysis Phase includes the documentati on of the uses of qualifi ed spaces within each facility for purposes of establishing building capaciti es as well as for establishing the capability of the faciliti es to adequately house alternate and/or future program needs.
Formal documentati on of collected data regarding building site and infrastructure limitati ons and requirements will be part of this phase. Documentati on of existi ng code, ADA, and constructi on standards issues at each facility will also be produced. On this basis, probable constructi on costs will be developed to bring the existi ng faciliti es to a level that is deemed standard for the District.
Comparisons between building capaciti es based on programs off ered and enrollment projecti ons, using current and alternati ve grade alignments as requested by the District, will be prepared.
Plan Development Quad3 will lead in the process of communicati ng results in the form of alternati ve soluti ons, with the appropriate backup informati on including advantages, disadvantages and building capaciti es (PDE and otherwise), to the designated District personnel, consti tuent groups, and the Board of School Directors. These communicati ons will establish the dialog for development of the alternati ve soluti ons and of the fi nal program. Meeti ngs will be held as required to present graphic informati on, preliminary plans, reports, and budgets. The alternati ve soluti ons and the fi nal program will include esti mated levels of State parti cipati on in the form of reimbursement on each project included. The assessment of the feasibility of each opti on will include informati on on the logisti cs and costs of phasing into reconfi gured faciliti es, including temporary faciliti es and interim requirements. To the extent that is required by the District, results of this progress can be developed by our design department for posti ng on a District web site, where applicable. Quad3 Group, Inc.

A composite of current conditi ons combined with the identi fi ed projected needs will be overlaid to identi fy areas of opportunity. To the extent necessary at this point in the plan development, several approaches to accomplishing the defi ned goals, with probable costs, will be presented for feedback and evaluati on. A preferred faciliti es alternati ve will be developed and presented in draft form. The fi nal document will be presented to the Board of School Directors for approval.
Quad3’s project process will take into account any previous faciliti es studies prepared, along with preliminary programming and budgets for the School District. Uti lizing these documents and our observati ons, we can address the physical conditi on, educati onal program analysis and enrollments that will expedite the program development and design phases. Our educati onal team will develop opti ons and alternati ves to address any limited site constraints, and the potenti al need to relocate students during constructi on phase.
Design Approach Design will proceed through the standard Schemati c Design, Design Development and Constructi on Documents Phases.
Schemati c Design Quad3 shall prepare and review Schemati c Design studies consisti ng of drawings and other documents illustrati ng the design concept, scale and relati onship of the project components, and submit to the District for approval. These documents shall include drawings and a writt en report. The report shall incorporate Quad3’s Conceptual Project Cost Esti mate (CPCE), that will be expanded and become more detailed during ensuing phases of the project.
As part of the design process, the project team would present various planning opti ons to the District, receive feedback, modify the opti ons as necessary, and re- present the opti ons in order to set the best directi on for the development of the design. Our design team is adept at quickly providing several design opti ons and working with the client team to select the most promising soluti ons.
Design Development Based upon the approved Schemati c Design, Quad3 shall prepare Design Development documents consisti ng of drawings and other documents to fi x and describe the scope and character of the project. Criti cal details will begin to be identi fi ed and design approaches for these items proposed.
The documents will include any new fi eld data, drawings and a writt en report detailing important aspects of the project. The CPCE will be updated and revised as required, and the package will be submitt ed to the District for review and approval. At the end of this phase, Quad3 will provide the District with complete set of drawings and supporti ng documentati on for their records.

Quad3 shall parti cipate in review meeti ngs to ensure that the project design conforms to all applicable codes and all requirements of regulartory agencies and will make any changes to the Constructi on Documents which are required for issuance of all permits and legal authorizati ons needed to construct the project. Prior to bidding, the documents shall receive an in-house quality assurance review for completeness, a Quad3 standard.
Bidding Negoti ati on Quad3 shall prepare such clarifi cati ons and addenda to the Bidding documents as may be required. The fi rm will schedule and conduct Prebid Conferences with prospecti ve bidders to review the project(s) requirements. Aft er the Prebid Conference, the fi rm shall deliver to the District and Bidder, if needed, a fi nal Addendum. Quad3 shall assist the District in obtaining or evaluati ng bids or negoti ati ng proposals and preparing recommendati ons for the District concerning the contract award.
