The two sites under consideration area the Midwest Federal Building (Big ‘M’ Building at 123 1st Street SW and the Wells Fargo Building located at 15 2nd Avenue SW, both in downtown Minot, North Dakota. The Scope of Work was to include the following tasks: Task 1: Review existing studies, and reports for both structures on file with the City of Minot Task 2: Conduct a walk-through analysis of both structures with the Architectural and Engineering Teams. It was highly recommended to review the structures with local contractors who have performed work in both buildings in the past. Task 3: Perform high-level probability analysis of potential hazardous materials in the Wells Fargo Building. This includes the probability of asbestos and lead based paint within the building. Task 4: Review the feasibility to move column locations within the Big ‘M’ Building to maximize space for public assembly. Task 5: Provide feasibility and high-level cost estimate for construction of bridges from either the Big ‘M’ Building or the Wells Fargo Building to the Renaissance Parking Structure. Task 6: Perform remodel cost analysis for each building. The estimates shall be completed on a square foot basis for each floor. The costs shall incorporate space analysis requirements as provided by the City of Minot. The cost estimates shall list construction costs, contingency percentages, architectural fees and all assumptions used in developing the costs. The construction cost analysis shall also include: 1. The cost to bring each building up to currently adopted building codes. 2. The cost to repair major building systems including mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems. Building systems must meet current energy codes. 3. The costs to abate hazardous material in the buildings, based on existing reports and on-site observations. 4. The costs to remodel each floor to meet modern office building standards with good quality finishes. ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE: JAN. 17, 2020 NOTIFICATION OF AWARD JLG Architects was notified they were awarded the contract to evaluate the two potential sites for potential relocation of City Hall. The City of Minot shared all available information they had on file which related to previous the pair of buildings including existing original construction documents, studies and reports for the Assessment Team to review and study prior to walking through the buildings. JLG Architects notified all team members of the award and distributed all City of Minot documents to the assessment teams. JLG prepared contracts for the work and began coordinating the work effort and scheduling a date for the walk-through assessments. JAN. 29, 2020 WALK THROUGH ANALYSIS A walk-through assessment was conducted at both structures was completed with the Architectural and Engineering Teams.

It takes passionate local stewardship, progressive leaders, and designers who understand how to turn a small idea into a big future. For over 31 years, our 150 JLGers have raised the bar on what is expected from architecture in North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota so that we can continuously improve the quality of life of our clients, our neighbors, and our families, while remaining dedicated to our clients’ bottom lines, today, tomorrow and for the next generation to come. We are inspired by the future, and work passionately to make our impact go beyond a building. As a result, JLG has been identified as one of the hottest architecture firms in the United States by Inc., Architectural Record, the Zweig Group, and the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal and is a “Best Place to Work” according to Prairie Business magazine, the Zweig Group, GGF Young Professionals and the National American Institute of Architects Intern Development Program. WE MIX GOOD DESIGN AND GOOD SENSE At our heart, JLG lives and breathes design excellence; it counts – at every level and for every position. We balance innovative design with borderline-obsessive budget control to generate solutions that are as creative as they are practical. Function is the baseline; form is what lifts up the spirit; and innovation elevates the experience for our clients, their visitors, and the region as a whole. JLG has over 100 design awards in our portfolio because we are committed to elevating expectations for our clients and our communities. WE ARE HOME We believe it takes people who are an active, engaged part of a community to truly understand what matters to the people living there. We have a lifetime of vested interest in the communities in which we work. Conservation: At JLG, Sustainable Design means creating high performance solutions that meet our clients’ present profitability goals without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. We do that by designing to a LEED Certified minimum on all of our projects to lower long-term maintenance costs and, since the most sustainable thing you can do is reuse your building, we design to last – creating flexible and organic solutions that are nimble and able to adapt to new parameters. LOWERED LONG-TERM COSTS JLG’s green buildings At JLG, our clients’ budgets are as intertwined in our design solutions as the architecture itself, and so it stands to reason this concern would carry on throughout the project’s reduce energy use on lifespan. To that end, we design to align to today’s bottom line while remaining average by % cost effective to maintain, especially in the areas of energy and water savings. 23 IMPROVED HEALTH We live in a region in which 90% of our time is spent indoors. Study after study has shown the effects of indoor air quality, daylighting and other environmental factors as they relate to the health and well-being of a building’s occupants. JLG maximizes indoor design opportunities to increase attention spans, lower sick days and raise productivity. 3 BIG M BUILDING CITY PARKING GARAGE WELLS FARGO DOWNTOWN MINOT, ND 58702 4 CITY OF MINOT

    EXHIBIT B CPC Report N 190230 ZRY (Residential Tower Mechanical Voids) CITY PLANNING COMMISSION April 10, 2019, Calendar No. 11 N 190230 ZRY IN THE MATTER OF an application submitted by the Department of City Planning pursuant to Section 201 of the New York City Charter for an amendment of Article II, Chapter 3 and related provisions of the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York, modifying residential tower regulations to require certain mechanical spaces to be calculated as residential floor area. _____________________________________________________________________________ This application (N 190230 ZRY) for a zoning text amendment was filed by the Department of City Planning (DCP) on January 25, 2019 to discourage the use of excessively tall mechanical floors in high-density residential tower districts. The proposal would require that mechanical floors, typically excluded from zoning floor area calculations, would be counted toward the overall permitted floor area on the zoning lot if they are taller than new specified limits or overly concentrated in portions of the building. The proposed floor area requirements would apply to residential towers in non-contextual R9 and R10 Residence Districts and their equivalent Commercial Districts, as well as Special Purpose Districts that rely on underlying floor area and height and setback regulations or that are primarily residential in character. The provision would also apply to non-residential portions of a mixed-use building if the building contains a limited amount of non-residential floor area. BACKGROUND The New York City Zoning Resolution allows floor space containing mechanical equipment to be excluded from zoning floor area calculations, reflecting the recognition that these spaces perform important and necessary functions within buildings.

  • Biennial Report of the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) for Fiscal Years 2017 to 2019
    William Panos Doug Burgum Director Governor December 2, 2019 The Honorable Doug Burgum Governor of North Dakota 600 East Boulevard Avenue Bismarck, ND 58505-0001 Governor Burgum: In compliance with Sections 24-02-01 and 54-06-04 of the North Dakota Century Code, I present to you the Biennial Report of the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) for fiscal years 2017 to 2019. The NDDOT worked hard on many projects to maintain the state’s transportation system. A large amount of resources were dedicated to improve safety and traffic movement by enhancing, rebuilding, and repairing highways and bridges throughout North Dakota. The Department’s budget for the 2017–2019 Biennium was $1.27 billion. Compared to the 2015-2017 biennial budget of $2.7 billion, this was a $1.4 billion reduction in State Funds, $80.9 million reduction in State Transportation User Revenue and a $56.9 million increase in Federal Funds. A few of the many accomplishments completed this past biennium include: being selected as one of ten participants in the UAS Integration Pilot Program with U.S. DOT; expanded the motor vehicle self-service kiosk machines to five additional locations throughout the state; launched the Vision Zero initiative to reduce motor vehicle crash fatalities and serious injuries to zero; launched “Track-A-Plow” technology onto our Travel Map for public use; launched ND Moves, the state’s first active and public transportation plan; and developed and implemented the new Urban Grant Program for infrastructure improvement projects within business districts of urban cities. Because of the support of our legislative body, partners, stakeholder groups, and a dedicated group of em- ployees, the Department was able to help meet transportation needs across the state while accomplishing our mission to safely move people and goods.

This research describes the complex challenges of a design development process influenced by vertically stacked functions. This paper addresses the important parameters in the design of multi-use tall buildings and their relationship to the space efficiency. Parameters including functions, lease span, floor-to-floor height, vertical transportation, site area, FAR(Floor Area Ratio), building height, number of floors, building size at the base and top, , aspect ratio, structural system were analyzed. Ten multi-use buildings were carefully surveyed and investigated through specific case studies. To achieve this comparative analysis, a comprehensive data base was established. Based on the results of the case studies, a set of quantitative analysis was performed to show relationship among design factors.

Klote† Smoke and Fire Consulting, 19355 Cypress Ridge Terrace, Leesburg, VA 20176, USA Abstract During a building fire, smoke can flow through elevator shafts threatening life on floors remote from the fire. Many buildings have pressurized elevators intended to prevent such smoke flow. The computer program, CONTAM, can be used to analyze the performance of pressurization smoke control systems. The design of pressurized elevators can be challenging for the following reasons: (1) often the building envelope is not capable of effectively handling the large airflow resulting from elevator pressurization, (2) open elevator doors on the ground floor tend to increase the flow from the elevator shaft at the ground floor, and (3) open exterior doors on the ground floor can cause excessive pressure differences across the elevator shaft at the ground floor. To meet these challenges, the following systems have been developed: (1) exterior vent (EV) system, (2) floor exhaust (FE) system, and ground floor lobby (GFL) system.
