MINUTES Infrastructure Committee December 10, 2014

MEMBERS PRESENT Charles Awe, Emmett Byrne, Dale Dresel, Jeremy Gronski, Richard Anderson, Bert Lund, Jr. and Christopher Sybers (9:25 a.m.).

CALL TO ORDER Chairman Awe called the December 10, 2014, meeting of the Infrastructure Committee to order at 9:00 a.m. in Room 165 of the Burnett County Government Center, Siren, Wisconsin.

NOTICE POSTED IN ACCORDANCE TO WIS. STAT. 19.84 OPEN MEETING LAW

PUBLIC COMMENTS John Conrad, North Memorial Aircare pilot was present to introduce himself and comment on the new service based at the Burnett County Airport.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA ORDER Chairman Awe reported Airport Manager Jeremy Sickler was delayed because a repair to the hydraulic system at Hangar 22 was needed. Airport Department reports would be discussed once Mr. Sickler arrived. Motion to approve the amended agenda order was made by Supervisor Byrne, seconded by Supervisor Lund. Motion carried, voice vote.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF OCTOBER 8, 2014, MEETING Motion to approve the minutes of the October 8, 2014, meeting was made by Supervisor Anderson, seconded by Supervisor Byrne. Motion carried, voice vote.

MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT Budget Report There were no questions on the submitted Year-End and Year-To-Date Budget Summary reports. Operational Report There were no questions on the submitted Operational Report. Maintenance Supervisor Gary Faught updated the committee on the annual elevator inspection. During the inspection it was discovered the second backup battery for the elevator phone had failed and will need to be replaced before the elevator passes inspection. Chairman Awe asked Mr. Faught about the malfunctioning distress alarm system used in the circuit court and the jail. A maintenance contract for the system has ended but maintenance department staff were able to make the alarm system functional. A new alarm system will be part of the dispatch center upgrade. Project Reports There were no questions on the submitted Project Report.

Mr. Sickler arrived at 9:18 a.m. Page 2 Burnett County Infrastructure Committee December 10, 2014

AIRPORT DEPARMENT Budget Report Mr. Sickler answered questions on the submitted Year-To-Date Budget Summary Report. Discussion ensued on falling fuel prices. Current policy is to sell fuel based on its purchase price not current market prices. Operational Report Mr. Sickler gave an Operational Report and answered questions from the committee. Repairs were needed this morning to the hydraulic system which operates the door to Hangar 22 (the North Memorial Airlift hangar). Discussion ensued on the need for a backup system and whose responsibility that might be. Project Reports Mr. Sickler submitted a Project Report and answered questions from the committee.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT Budget Report Highway Commissioner Bob Morehouse submitted a Year-To-Date Budget Summary report. Operational Report Mr. Morehouse reviewed the current operations and answered questions from the committee. In addition to the submitted report, Mr. Morehouse reported an employee was out on medical leave and the delivery of the replacement for #176 Tri-axle truck has been delayed until January. Project Reports Mr. Morehouse reviewed the Open Project Status Report and updated the committee on the progress of ongoing projects. Request to Fill Vacancy Due to Retirement Motion to approve the request to fill a vacancy due to retirement was made by Supervisor Sybers, seconded by Supervisor Lund. Motion carried, voice vote. Clothing Allowance for Highway Department Employees Safety Boots: $35.00/Year (All Personnel) Single Vision Glasses: $55.00/Year (All Personnel) Bi-Focal Vision Glasses: $65.00/Year (All Personnel) Tool Allowance: $75.00/Year (Shop Personnel Only) Coveralls: $7.00/Week (Shop Personnel Only) Mr. Morehouse noted the new Burnett County policy manual requires the governing committee to approve the Highway Department Employee Clothing Allowance. The same items have been allowed at the same amount for the past 20 years. Motion to approve the clothing allowance as shown was made by Supervisor Byrne, seconded by Supervisor Dresel. Discussion ensued on increasing the allowable amounts. County Administrator Nate Ehalt stated the clothing allowance would be easier to administrate if a total amount was determined without itemizing specified items. Chairman Awe noted he had not acknowledged the motion and thus it was not on the table. Supervisor Sybers made a motion to allow $250.00 for safety boots, single vision glasses and/or bi-focal vision glasses annually for all highway department personnel. The motion did not receive a second. Motion that all highway department personnel receive a $250.00 clothing allowance to be used on safety boots, single vision glasses and/or bi-focal vision glasses was made by Supervisor Anderson, seconded by Supervisor Sybers. Mr. Morehouse noted personnel must submit receipts for reimbursement. It was also noted not all highway department personnel need corrective lenses and that safety glasses are provided by the department to them. Supervisor Anderson amended his motion to state “all highway department personnel required to have these items for their jobs.” Motion to amend the motion to specify $100.00 for safety boots and $75.00 for glasses, or a maximum allowance of $175.00 was made by Supervisor Gronski, seconded by Supervisor Dresel. Motion to amend the motion failed due to tie voice vote with

Page 3 Burnett County Infrastructure Committee December 10, 2014

Chairman Awe abstaining. Mr. Ehalt restated his preference for a consolidated allowance because of the administrative issues with tracking allowable items. Chairman Awe asked Supervisor Anderson to withdraw his motion. Supervisor Anderson declined. Motion carried, voice vote. Motion as approved: Motion that all highway department personnel required to have these items for their jobs receive a $250.00 clothing allowance for safety boots, single vision glasses and/or bi-focal vision glasses. Discussion ensued on the remaining items - tools and coveralls - that are specific to highway shop personnel. Mechanics are required to provide their own tools. Motion that all highway shop personnel receive a $75.00 tool allowance was made by Supervisor Dresel, seconded by Supervisor Byrne. Motion carried, voice vote. Motion that the coverall allowance for all highway shop personnel be $7.00 per week was made by Supervisor Dresel, seconded by Supervisor Lund. The county has a contract for coveralls at $9.00 per week so the employee portion would be $2.00 per week. Motion carried, voice vote. Resolution/Ordinance for Implements of Husbandry (IoH) Following discussion of the options available to the county concerning ACT 377 and how IoH and Agricultural Commercial Vehicles (AG CMV) operation could be governed on county roads, it was decided to act on a resolution at the January 15, 2015, committee meeting. Mr. Morehouse recommends Option E to opt in and pass an ordinance requiring IoH and AG CMV to apply for permit to exceed 23K/92K/Weight Table. Dan Bahr from the Wisconsin Counties Association Transportation Committee will be invited to speak on this issue at a future Board of Supervisors meeting. 2015 Winter Road School (January 12-14, 2015) Information on the 2015 Winter Road School, was distributed. Supervisors Anderson and Byrne expressed interest in attending. The January committee meeting was rescheduled to Thursday, January 15, 2015.

ADMINISTRATOR REPORT Request for Proposal (RFP) Update Mr. Ehalt reported receiving 14 proposals for the Highway Shop/Forestry facility. He is evaluating them and will narrow down to five for Mr. Morehouse and Forestry and Parks Department Administrator Jason Nichols to consider by next week. Two or three will be brought to the January 15, 2015, committee meeting. Other updates included the State Road 35/70 roundabout which is still scheduled in 2015. S and N was awarded the contract, but the cost to the county is more than expected. In addition, engineering costs were not figured into the budget by the Department of Transportation (DOT). The Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics has indicated there are funds available outside of the county’s allotment to cover the extra costs but as the engineering fee oversight is the fault of the DOT it will be covered by them. Regarding the communication towers project, Mr. Ehalt will email a report to all supervisors which details costs that have gone over contractual agreements. The report does not include change orders that were approved by the county. Mr. Ehalt also reported he is working with North Memorial Airlift to help solve their communication issues.

FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS IoH resolution and RFPs.

NEXT MEETING DATE Thursday, January 15, 2015.

ADJOURN Motion to adjourn was made by Supervisor Sybers, seconded by Supervisor Lund. Motion carried, voice vote. Chairman Awe adjourned the meeting at 10:56 a.m.

Proposal submittal deadline was November 25, 2014. At that time the County had received 14 proposals, double what was anticipated. While the high number of proposals was a good problem to have, it did lead to a delay in reviewing them in time to meet the end of year deadline for selection.

The review consisted of the following process. A review by the County Administrator focused on the following aspects:

1) Were the submission requirements met 2) Proposed process and methodology a. Did the firm clearly outline their approach to working with Burnett County? And How? b. Did the firm seem to understand the importance of all the County’s needs as identified in the RFP; administration space, fleet maintenance, employee support areas, fleet storage, facility costs, etc. c. Did the firm clearly address continuity of staff for the project as well as beyond this phase of the project? d. Did the firm proposal consist of the professionals (architects, engineers, etc.) necessary to carry the project from analysis through grand opening, should the County to continue to progress forward? 3) Unique aspects above and beyond the proposal a. Life cycle cost analysis, ongoing project continuity, past government facility projects, etc. 4) Project cost a. Did the firm set a not to exceed amount, and was it within the County established budget for this project? b. Were their hourly rates identified clearly for each staff and/or consultant identified for those working on the project?

Following this review, the proposals were narrowed to five and provided to both the Highway Commissioner and Forest Administrator for review and input. Lastly, a discussion between the County Administrator, Highway Commissioner and Forest Administrator narrowed the proposals to the following three: Kueny Architects, ISG, and CBS2.

Staff Review: All three firms are believed to be amply qualified to provide the necessary services to Burnett County, with Kueny Architects, LLC. being the lowest proposed cost of the three.

PROPOSAL RESPONSE

FOR

HIGHWAY AND FORESTRY DEPARTMENTS – FACILITY MASTER PLAN

November 25, 2014

Burnett County, Wisconsin Mr. Nate Ehalt, County Administrator 7410 County Road K, #116 Siren, WI 54872

Regards: RFP - Architectural Services, Burnett County Highway and Forestry Facility Davenport, Iowa

Dear Mr. Ehalt and Selection Team,

Thank you for the opportunity to present our architectural services to Burnett County. Enclosed, you will find our response to your Request for Proposal beginning with a description of our firm, team resumes and project experience and ending with our understanding and approach of the project and fee schedule. Submitted as a supplemental, we have included eight (8) past project examples. In 2014 dollars, many of these projects range in cost from approximately $60 - $90 a square foot.

As the preeminent leader in the field of municipal planning, our firm, Kueny Architects, L.L.C. has delivered nearly two dozen similar projects ranging in size from 5,000 square feet to over 300,000 square feet across the Midwest. Our experience and innovations have helped municipalities improve the overall efficiency of their operations for over 25 years. Such experience has also helped us develop an in-depth design data base not only on “what works and what doesn’t work” but we have also compiled a useful operations and equipment data base that can assist municipalities on a daily basis. Our approach is very “hands on’ combining our team of professionals and consultants with your staff, crew members and committee members.

In Wisconsin, some of our current projects include an:

• Operations Center in Oshkosh, • Highway Services Center in Dane County, • Transit Center for Dunn County, and a • City Hall and Police Station for Genoa City.

In Iowa, completed projects include an: • Operations Center in Waterloo, • Operations Center in Des Moines, • Operations Center in Cedar Rapids.

Our ultimate goal is to improve the way you deliver your services to the County. I’m confident our team of experienced staff and consultants can develop a cost effective, preliminary design, program and cost estimate for a new Highway and Forestry Facility for Burnett County. I encourage you to contact any of our references listed in this response and to take a tour of some of our past and present City and County facilities. Past clients can attest to our reputation for delivering high quality professional services. We look forward to discussing this proposal further.

Very Truly Yours,

Jon P. Wallenkamp, AIA, ALA Partner

The past studies, as recent as 2009, have indicated the need for an approximate 65,000 square foot facility, just for the Highway Department at an approximate cost of $4 - $8 million. Our Part One goal is to assess the current needs of the employees, vehicles and equipment and deliver a cost effective design and planning program. Upon approval of our plan and cost estimate we hope we can move the project through Part Two, which would include all design phases and construction as early as 2016-2017.

Methodology

Our team members will conduct a review of existing Highway and Forestry operations currently housed in different facilities to gain an understanding of the various organizational strengths and limitations. We will identify FTE’s, PTE’s and seasonal staff counts, future staff size, and assess the constraints attributable to the limitations posed by the current facilities. These include insufficient administrative space, lack of proper amenities, lack of sufficient storage space and poor vehicle circulation through the building. We also are aware that separate shops are probably needed for Highway operations such as Paint Shop/Storage, Barricades Shop, Carpentry Shop, Overflow Storage for bulk palletized items and/or a special storage setup shop area. Forestry will also need shop space for their own unique equipment needs and workspaces. As for vehicles, we prefer to store vehicles adjacent to their respective offices and shops. Administratively, some commonly shared spaces are possible such as conference rooms, office equipment areas and archives. Shared amenities could include areas such as training/lunch room and restroom/locker areas.

Prior to interviews, we will review previous studies for relevant information if available such as vehicle and equipment inventories, shops, and employee spatial needs. Interviews will be conducted in groups or one-on- one with Department Heads and selected employees, as appropriate. The purpose of these interviews is to gain

(17)

the perspective of the employees regarding service delivery capabilities, public interaction, physical barriers and location of existing offices and interaction with other employees.

Facilities - General

Located at 8150 State Road, Siren Wisconsin, the current Highway Shop is located within a 60 acre site which also houses the newer Burnett County Government Center. The Highway Department currently has some of the key building components in place such as a fairly new salt shed, new truck scale, and a fairly new fuel system. With most of the ancillary improvements in place, the County can focus on the needs of the primary facility. We will briefly assess the condition of the current 34,000 square foot structure and narrate its inability to accommodate current and future operations. Moving forward, we will begin to program the primary facility and its various components including;

A. Administration B. Fleet Maintenance C. Employee Support Area D. Fleet Equipment /Vehicle Storage E. Ancillary Buildings and Site Improvements

A. Administration

If selected, we propose to specifically discuss and determine the spatial requirements for the following areas:

• Reception area, frequency of public interaction, and amount / type of various security controls needed. • Number, type and size of recommended offices for Highway and Forestry, • Number type and size of any workstations for Highway and Forestry, • Plan storage/layout area needed, • Active and non-active file retention area(s), • If feasible, a shared, centralized area for office equipment and document preparation. • If feasible, a shared conference room(s), one possibly adjacent to the Commissioner’s office and one Forestry Head.

(18)

B. Fleet Maintenance

Our scope of services will analyze the Fleet Maintenance operations in order to determine hours of operation, type of service being provided on Highway, Forestry and other Department vehicles such as, Sheriff Department, and/or other Departments. We will specifically review: • The parts inventory requirements, parts purchasing, (Just in Time, (JIT)) etc. and numerous other inventory needs and the number and type of bulk products dispensed. • Active versus inactive parts requirements. • Brake and battery storage requirements. • Tire storage, equipment requirements, and outsourcing. • The number, capacity, and type of hoists (in-ground, recessed, mobile etc.). • The need for an overhead bridge crane and capacity requirements. • In ground and take-up exhaust reels. • Possible kit systems in place, bulk dispersal/space needs, and future outsourcing. • Is the Fire Department fleet outsourced and/or serviced elsewhere? • Current weld bay size restriction and needs of this area such as bridge or jib crane, weld tables, racks, and electrical requirements.

(19)

C. Employee Support Area

• A possible area for dispatch and weather equipment and co-shared training and break-room. • Amenity needs such as restroom, shower, locker rooms and mud room. • A small area for uniforms, if this is applicable.

D. Fleet Equipment/Vehicle Storage

Vehicles and equipment are currently stored in both warm and cold storage buildings. Typically all response vehicles with attachments (plow trucks and snow removal equipment), light duty trucks (department trucks and take-homes), and heavy duty equipment are stored in a warm environment. Seasonal equipment such as tractors, rollers, and mower equipment is usually stored in cold storage. For each vehicle, we will access the make, model, age, size and accompanying attachments. From this information we will work with Fleet Maintenance to identify the average age of the fleet and discuss what plans are in place for vehicle replacement.

E. Ancillary Buildings and Site Improvements

In addition to Fleet Maintenance and Vehicle Storage, the program will need to address other areas and equipment such as:

• An outside, secured area for Sheriff’s Department evidence, and possibly an indoor secured area for the same. • Review the fueling system and determine if any upgrades are necessary. • It is assumed the existing truck wash is inadequate. Either a manual or automated system should be determined. If most vehicles are serviced here, can a charge back be applied to each department for the cost of a wash? This will work if departments are set up as separate cost centers.

(20)

C - TECHNICAL APPROACH AND SCOPE

Approach and Scope

Our approach to this project is made up of two distinct parts.

PART ONE

Identify the spatial needs of the Highway and Forestry Departments and determine the necessary footprint and costs required to house all equipment, services, shops, and secured evidence storage for the Sheriff’s Department through the year 2044 (30 years). Once complete we will design and present the needs as (3) schemes; depicting workflow, room size, adjacencies, facility layout, outbuildings, and material storage requirements on current site.

PART TWO

At the discretion of the County, we are prepared to offer our continued services of design and construction oversight upon approval to proceed. These continued services would include the following phases: A. Schematic, B. Design Development, C. Construction Document, D. Bidding and E. Construction Oversight.

(21)

PART ONE - Deliverable Components

A) Two-dimensional site and facility drawings depicting up to (3) schemes of workflows, room sizes, adjacencies, facility layouts, outbuildings, and material storage requirements on current site.

B) Estimated cost of construction for each layout as a “move-in ready facility”. Costs to be in 2016 dollars.

C) Programming spatial worksheets with room by room square footage and adjacencies.

D) Any applicable site data that may affect the overall flow of site and additional cost of the project such as:

• Utility considerations. • Parking requirements. • Aggregate material storage requirements, (maximums and minimums). • Traffic flow, ingress and egress. • Storm water management and possible wetland requirements. • Yard dock. • Security concerns. • Environmental impacts. • Future growth.

E) Payback Analysis: Once all the data is in, we can prepare a Payback Analysis. This document will attempt to determine the amount of years it will take for the selected scheme to pay for itself. Typically this includes:

• Increased value of the fleet due to properly storing expensive pieces of equipment and establishing a vehicle wash program. • Some deferred maintenance may be eliminated. • Utility savings as a result of a more energy efficient structure. • Time saved by making tasks more efficient. • Savings of lost down time of staff due to a safer work environment.

Lastly, we will present the necessary layouts and schemes at (1) Infrastructure Committee meeting and (1) Final Committee meeting as a Whole.

(22)

PART ONE - Meetings

In advance of our Kick-off meeting it is helpful to have a cursory understanding of staffing levels, vehicle counts, prior concept plans and cost scenarios, land surveys, parking requirements etc. We will supply you with a request list of the needed data prior to any meetings.

Kickoff Meeting. Here we will conduct a meeting with appropriate County staff and employees. The purpose of this meeting will be to introduce the team, explain the scope and goals, answer any questions or concerns, and convey our philosophy that each and every employee has a stake in the success of the project. We have found that this initial meeting ultimately serves to bring out opinions, suggestions, and powerful constructive criticisms that only work to make the project more meaningful.

Project Team Meeting. This short meeting often immediately follows the Kickoff Meeting. Our team members will meet with County team members to explain the work plan, and ask any questions; i.e. requested information, access of buildings and equipment, project duration, and availability of team members.

Staff and Departmental Meetings. The purpose of these meetings/interviews is to gain the perspective of the employees regarding service delivery capabilities, public interaction, physical barriers, adjacencies and spatial location of existing offices. These meetings will be scheduled throughout the study in order to compile and explain data, and/or explain our means, methods opinions, expectations and conceptual drawings and costs. We will organize and lead a minimum of (4) planning meetings. Of the (4) meetings at least (2) will be used as departmental meetings in order to gain understanding of employee needs.

Lastly, we will present the necessary layouts and schemes at (1) Infrastructure Committee meeting and (1) Final Committee meeting as a Whole.

(23)

PART ONE – Detailed Scope

The purpose of this proposal is to identify the spatial needs of the Highway and Forestry Departments and determine the necessary footprint and costs required to house all equipment, services and shops along with a secured evidence storage area for the Sheriff’s Department. Our tasks are listed below, specifically:

1. Programming, Master Site Plan & Pre-Design

A. Set Project Scope and Schedule 1. Establish organization and agenda for meetings. 2. Establish team interaction, committee members and member roles. 3. Establish project schedule and goals. 4. Provide regular updates to the County. • Meetings will take place at kickoff and all milestones.

B. Site Characteristics 1. Obtain a Topographic Survey. 2. Obtain Geotechnical Investigation.

C. Analysis of Existing Facilities: 1. Kueny Architects will analyze any pertinent existing building and grounds to reveal: • What works, what doesn’t. • Building age and condition. • Energy usage and efficiency. 2. Current Adjacent Salt Shed, Truck Scale, and Fuel Island will be reviewed in terms of: • Traffic patterns and efficiencies. • Adjacencies, • Supervision and security. • Space use and upgrade needs. • Site drainage and environmental compliance. 3. Material storage requirements.

D. Analysis of Staffing and Major Equipment Needs 1. Review of current and future storage requirements of all equipment. 2. Need for new capital equipment. 3. Document every FTE and PTE.

(24)

4. As a team, develop and circulate respective spatial requirements. Data from this document will be incorporated into the space plan.

E. Analysis of Existing Operations / Staff Interviews: 1. Kueny Architects will conduct interviews with key staff to determine a program of building usage. The team approach is critical in this stage. Kueny Architects does not seek to impose a given solution on the client, rather to provide an outsiders view of current operations. Listening to the client provides a clear picture of the operation. 2. As a team, develop and circulate a space needs questionnaire. Data from this questionnaire will be used as a basis for interviews and will be incorporated into the space plan.

F. Develop an Initial Spaces Needs Summary Report and Worksheet 1. Collected data will be merged into an initial space needs report. 2. Report will be circulated to key staff for review and comment. 3. Feedback will be incorporated in the Concept Plans

G. Storm Water Considerations 1. The location of a facility requiring a significant amount of land area will have a direct influence on the facility’s impact on several site related and regulatory components. In today’s environment, storm water management is the most obvious and far reaching consideration for a large site development project. Other factors that can influence a site’s suitability for development include local zoning requirements and utility availability, whether public or private systems. Related issues that may be considered, depending on the specific characteristics of the location, include waterway and floodplain regulatory requirements. In order to deliver a complete study, our analysis includes the following: • Research and analysis of the following for the proposed site. o Storm water management requirements o Waterway/floodplain impacts o Zoning impacts o Utility considerations o Management of vehicle sludge runoff. o Permit approvals and processes o Soil conditions o Proximity to service areas o Roadway access • Develop a storm water management concept.

(25)

• Prepare conceptual cost estimates for storm water management facilities at the proposed site. • Analyze site with possible future growth needs for the next 25 years. • Determine the minimum area of impervious pavement. Investigate options for pervious pavement alternatives. • Prepare a site master plan of the preferred option.

H. Concept Plan Development: 1. Once all the data has been gathered, Kueny Architects will develop up to (3) concept plans with varying degrees of complexity. 2. Plans will be reviewed with the team and refined with their input resulting in two or three generic concepts. 3. Conceptual plans will account for changing technologies, i.e. the future use of compressed natural gas, (CNG), electric vehicles, material storage, and equipment staging. 4. As a team, we will access strengths, weaknesses, and operational efficiencies for each plan.

I. Conceptual Estimate of Preliminary Models 1. Each concept plan will be paired with a conceptual estimate of any construction costs in addition to other soft costs. The County has requested cost estimates to be “move-in ready”. 2. Costs of each plan will be compared side-by-side numerically and graphically for analysis by team members and county officials.

J. Final Detailed Estimate 1. Upon selection of the final solution, Kueny Architects will expand the conceptual estimate into a total program budget.

K. Facilities Master Plan 1. Upon completion, a Final Facilities Assessment Report will be provided. The report will include the following: • Study Objectives • Process Used and Approach • Summary of Findings • Cursory analysis of existing Facility Conditions • Existing Zoning and Site Characteristics • Existing Site – Storm water, Transportation, and Utilities • Cursory Operations Analysis • Staffing Level Analysis (26)

• Building Program – Immediate and Future Priorities • Building Sustainability • Spatial guidelines for each area (required space for each function) • Minimum building envelope standards • Mechanical and Electrical System Parameters • Technology Considerations • Site Master Planning 1. Immediate, Short, Medium, and Long Term Needs 2. Land Use and Sustainability 3. Buffers, Open Space, Landscaping and Surroundings 4. Site Access, Public Access, and Security • Estimate of Probable Costs • Possible Phasing Plans

PART TWO – Detailed Scope

At the discretion of the County and upon approval to proceed, we are prepared to offer our continued services of design and construction oversight. These continued services include the following phases:

2. Schematic Design Phase

A. The Architect will review the completed program with all parties to assure it is understood and carried out in the manner in which it was intended. The result of this phase is the final building and site design including site & floor plans and functional layout.

B. At this phase, Kueny Architects will model the final schematic design in a 3-D computer model as part of this work. This software is capable of generating plans, rendering and animations for greater understanding of the final project.

C. The schematic design phase is the most effective time for a staff information meeting. The design is complete enough to present a well-reasoned explanation of the proposed solution. It is not so far along that the design team can’t react to relevant information learned.

(27)

3. Design Development Phase

A. The Architect will lay out the building according to the schematic. The layouts will be reviewed by the design Team and the County to assure a complete understanding. The full involvement of all key members will be required. At this time, the Architect’s office would prepare the prints and sketches for review and input and to help explain details that may not be fully understood to all individuals. The result of this phase is the basis for construction documents.

B. At this phase, the Team will select the mechanical and electrical systems that will be designed in the building, layout basic site engineering, and discuss general framing requirements. Stationary equipment such as vehicle wash systems and hoists will be selected.

C. The Architect will provide basic construction estimates throughout the Design Development phase with a detailed breakdown upon resolution of the final design.

4. Construction Documents Phase

A. The Architect and Consultants will prepare drawings and specifications per applicable codes and standards. Full Architectural, Civil, Structural, Mechanical, and Electrical plans, sections and specifications suitable for construction result. Another key to our success is the continuity in the design team. The same individuals will be with the project from start to finish being sure even subtle elements are not missed. The construction documents will reflect detailed phasing and sequencing as well as safe work zones for the adjacent existing operations.

B. During the Construction Documents Phase, Kueny Architects will meet with the County’s design team at the beginning, 30%, 60% and 90% milestones, or as necessary. The busy schedules of the team members will be respected during the design process while still achieving the necessary understanding.

C. At the 30% milestone, Kueny Architects will present the current plans to the County for approval. Any comments will be incorporated into the plan.

D. At the 90% milestone, Kueny Architects will present the final plans to the County for final approval.

(28)

E. Final construction documents will contain complete design drawings, specifications and incorporate all required State of Wisconsin and local provisions. Prior to release of the documents Kueny Architects will help secure the required State and Local plan approvals. The following are the divisions of work our firm will coordinate for this project. These items are studied and researched by our team on an ongoing basis. Our expertise in each of these areas of service is a true asset to our clients.

Complete Facility Design Civil Design Plumbing Fire Protection HVAC Electrical Low Voltage/IT Capital Equipment Furnishings Bulk Fluid/Hazardous Materials Landscape Design Wash Facilities, (If Applicable) Fuel Island (If Applicable) Stormwater Design Water/Reclaim State and Federal Cold Weather Designs CNG

5. Permits, Approvals and Funding Administration

A. Kueny Architects will prepare and submit necessary drawings and calculations for applicable Plan Reviews for Building as well as Mechanical and Electrical if required. Our team will guide this project through the local and state plan review process including Wisconsin DOT and DNR. We will administrate all the required paperwork and documentation as it relates to any State and Local funding sources. We have worked on projects that have been funded by local, state, and federal fund sources.

B. Kueny Architects will apply for the prevailing wage determination. All prevailing wage requests are now made electronically.

6. Bidding and Negotiation Phase

A. Kueny Architects will provide the necessary hard copy documents for distribution of plans and specifications to prospective bidders. B. Kueny Architects will participate in the following areas as required by the County. a. Interview Contractors b. Write Addenda c. Pre-bid Meeting d. Assemble Contractor Lists- Recommendation of General e. Pre-Construction Meeting f. Make recommendations of and make presentations

C. Kueny Architects will provide analysis of the bids and issue a recommendation to the County.

(29)

7. Construction Phase – Project Consultation Services

A. Site Visits – Members of the Design Team will be present on the site consistent with the progress of construction. It is our practice to be an advocate for the Owner in our approach to construction observation services. All travel related to this project will be included in our fees for services. No per diem charge will be added.

B. Shop Drawings and Submittals -The Design Team will review all shop drawings and submittals in accordance with the design scope. The field coordination of mechanical trades will be done by those trades.

C. Job Meetings – Kueny Architects will administer project meetings. It is anticipated these meetings would be held bi-weekly at the construction site.

D. Monthly Payment Applications – Kueny Architects, LLC will review and certify the monthly progress payments as is customary. It is anticipated these applications will be made on AIA format documents. In addition, our team will prepare the necessary payroll reporting as required by any outside funding sources.

8. Project Close-out

A. The Architect will organize the final inspection of the project by the Architect, Engineers and County’s personnel. Based on this inspection, the Architect will prepare and distribute the Punch List to all affected parties.

B. The Architect will prepare the final Record Drawings (As-built) for presentation to the County. These will consist of the original contract drawings, updated, changed or redrawn, if necessary, to indicate the actual construction of the project, based on the Architect's own observations and data supplied by the Contractors. Reproductions and digital copies of the Record drawings will be made available for the Owner's future use.

9. Post Construction

A. The Architect and consulting Engineers will make themselves available to consult on any matter arising regarding this project for as long as necessary after project completion.

B. Assuming that the County-Contractor Agreement requires a one year warranty period for all the work done, the Architect will organize a Warranty Inspection Meeting approximately 11 months after substantial project completion. This inspection will define any areas of the work that will require repair or replacement under (30)

the warranty provisions. The Architect will prepare and transmit all written documents required, to inform all parties of these deficiencies

Historically, our clients have benefited from engaging Kueny Architects in two ways. Typically, our design costs are on the lower end of the scale with absolutely no sacrifice in experience and skill. Secondly, our buildings are less costly to construct for a very high level of quality. The bottom line is that the overall project budget is left with more dollars that can be invested in the facility and its operation. We encourage you to contact the users of these buildings to discuss this advantage first hand.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – LIFE CYCLE COST ANALYSIS

In the design and construction of a public building, the expected long life of the building must be considered. From a programming and layout point of view, the plan and site must be flexible, provide ease of expansion, and consider emerging technologies. Trade-offs for utilizing existing structures must also be considered. The unseen cost savings of a well programmed building saves labor hours and improves service to the end user.

From a construction point of view, there are always options for materials and systems that must be considered. The components listed below in either a re-used structure or a new structure must be analyzed on a life cycle / replacement cost basis. For example, a given mechanical system has an initial cost, energy usage cost, maintenance costs, and a replacement cost at a given life span. This holds true for multiple aspects of each building.

The following components of a building will be included in a life cycle / replacement cost analysis:

• Building envelope including walls and roof. • Structural system including ability to add equipment or change equipment. • Building mechanical systems for heating, cooling, and ventilation. • Building electrical system for capacity and expandability. Future possible energy sources.

Our mission is simple: Provide high quality, cost‐effective, value added engineering and architectural services that exceeds the needs of our clients and improve the environment around us.

At CBS Squared Inc. we believe the process for the client is as important as the final product. Our projects can affect millions of people over their lifecycle. Construction of a project is the last piece of a project’s “puzzle”. Getting it to that point, however, involves many hours of planning, design, and communication between client, stakeholder groups and the consultant. Projects don’t get created in a vacuum. The best projects are created with collaboration, which is why you project solutions start here.

Sub‐consultants / Team Members: As stated, projects don’t get created in a vacuum. CBS Squared, Inc. proposes to team with highly experienced industry partners. In this case, we propose to team with APEX Engineering and Vonasek & Schieffer, Inc. APEX Engineering is a leading HVAC, Plumbing,

general information & firm qualifications | page 4 and Electrical Engineering consulting firm and is very familiar with buildings of this type and the variations in building systems associated with buildings of this purpose. Vonasek & Schieffer provide construction management services for decades in northern Wisconsin. As such, they know what buildings of certain types and systems cost because they literally bid projects every day. Our team can provide Burnett County with real‐time and accurate cost estimating – we believe this to be one of the reasons why the construction estimates identified in past studies have been so varied. We believe this will take any guess work out of the process and also provide the added benefit of formulating a Construction Staging Plan. This will lay out how the proposed building will get built while the existing site is occupied.

We encourage further review of APEX Engineering and Vonasek & Schieffer, Inc. by reading their company bio information found in Appendix A, bound at the end of this proposal.

Statement of Project Understanding

The CBS Squared, Inc. team understands this project to be an opportunity to develop a design and preliminary facility layout concept for a new County Highway and Forestry Facility. Our team also understands that the County requires the CBS Squared, Inc. team to develop associated cost estimates for the design(s). It is intended that the County will develop a design that conjoins the Highway and Forestry Departments on the same site, utilizing shared space as applicable, and as identified during the design process. The site has been identified as the existing 60‐acre Highway Department site, west of Siren, Wisconsin. Currently, the Highway and Forestry Departments are housed in separate facilities. We understand the County's initial thoughts include the selective demolition of portions of the existing Highway Facility while new construction would occur adjacent to the present structures. The County wishes to plan and develop a design that accommodates secured, outside storage area, for the Sheriff’s Department at the same site.

Further, the County requires that a Project Assessment Review (PAR) be completed as part of the deliverables for this project. The PAR will focus on the functional aspects of the design including, but not limited to, vehicle movement and storage and multi‐department employee workspace(s). The CBS Squared, Inc. Team believes that a cost/benefit analysis component would be advantageous to the PAR document. The cost/benefit would provide data on the most common items associated with such capital infrastructure projects: Building superstructure options, reduced footprint options due to collocating multiple County Departments, building materials and finishes, HVAC and electrical systems, expected approximate energy costs, vehicle maintenance systems, more efficient use of employee hours serving the public and possible improved resale values on equipment and reduced equipment maintenance costs.

Finally, the CBS Squared, Inc. Team understands that the County has completed a number of previous studies ‐ but those had typically focused only on a proposed new Highway Facility. Our Team completely understands the County's "strong desire to focus on practical and cost conscience" designs. Doing this will assist the County in directing financial resources toward the delivery of resources ‐ both directly and indirectly. We understand this need to be critical: the County has already expended thousands of dollars on past studies and the costs for such a facility appear to vary greatly. With the last study being completed in 2009, the "cost of money" also continues to rise and the expected inflationary cost will only continue to climb.

We understand the facility needs to be those listed generally in the RFP and as follows:

A. Administration 1. Workspace design that allows two departments to share common space and equipment 2. Meeting / conference space 3. Supervisory office space 4. Plan storage and layout area 5. Building security and access control 6. Energy efficient HVAC and lighting systems 7. Enhanced use of existing fiber optic communication system

B. Fleet Maintenance 1. Efficient / cost effective layout

statement of project understanding | page 11

2. Adequate overhead lift height 3. Centralized parts / equipment area 4. Proper HVAC 5. Vehicle exhaust system 6. Workbench space 7. Reuse of existing hoist(s) and equipment as possible 8. Adequate work / repair spaces for both departments 9. Use of natural light 10. Wash Bay 11. Welding / Fabrication area 12. Plumbing islands 13. Fuel system with upgraded tanks

C. Employee Support Area 1. Adequate lunch / kitchen facility and eating space. This space may also serve as a group meeting space. 2. Adequate men’s and women’s bathroom / locker room space based upon current and future employment mix.

D. Fleet / Equipment Storage Area 1. Adequately sized to allow vehicle attachments to remain on vehicles when parked inside. 2. Adequate storage space 3. Energy efficient HVAC. Fleet / Equipment storage area will be part of the overall facility, but enough internal separation shall exist so as to lessen utility cost. This area’s climate control will not need to be the same as the fleet maintenance area. 4. An outside, secure area for Sheriff department evidence 5. Possible indoor secure area for Sherriff Department evidence

Our Process and Methodology

After visiting the site, discussing the proposed project and studying the RFP, our intent is to proceed with the following process and methodology. However some tasks will run concurrently with one another in this process.

A. Review the past space needs and facility studies. B. Review and tour, in depth, the existing facilities. C. Meet with designated Highway Department staff to compare, contrast, and coordinate what may still be relevant in the previous documented and gathered information. 1. Document each Departments space needs as it pertains to administration, fleet maintenance, equipment storage, and security space. 2. Document each Departments equipment and furnishing needs. D. Bring designated staff together for four (4) planning meetings and two (2) department meetings. These meetings may be held concurrently depending on scheduling. The intent is to correlate the information that has been gathered into a preliminary "bubble" diagram. Doing this will set the spaces in relationship to one another and begin to graphically highlight the opportunity for shared space ‐ one of the goals of this Study. statement of project understanding | page 12

E. Devise up to three (3) building layout design concepts. F. This may result in three (3) site layout design concepts. G. Develop initial estimates of probable cost. H. Organize and lead a presentation to/with the infrastructure committee and narrow options to one or two. I. Revise any documentation / deliverables. J. Create a Cost / Benefit matrix for analysis and County consideration. 1. The matrix will highlight items such as building superstructure options, building materials, building finishes, HVAC system options, lighting options, and furnishings, fixtures, and office equipment options. 2. The matrix will also contain electricity and heating costs from at least the last three years, historical and estimated equipment maintenance / repair costs, historical and estimated equipment trade in values, and existing / projected efficiencies due to equipment stored inside. K. Develop a construction phasing plan for the building layout design ‐ particularly given the existing site conditions and initial design concepts. L. Modify the estimate(s) of probable construction cost for each proposed building layout developed. M. Organize and lead a presentation with the Infrastructure Committee. Determine a plan to move forward with. N. Revise any documentation / deliverables. O. Organize and lead a presentation to the full County Board.

* Items J & K are considered value‐added additional items suggested by the CBS Squared, Inc. Team to complete this study.

SPECIALTY ENERGY DESIGN AWARDS

 Sustainability and Energy Efficiency Leadership Award: APEX Engineering received the 2006 Sustainability and Energy Efficiency Leadership Award for work on the 2002 Bush Brothers Beans Employee and Office Facility Addition; completed in 2004. This project used an innovative approach to reclaim waste heat from the baked bean processing line to heat the entire new complex when process work was on-going, as well as heat sidewalks and patios. Snow melting on sidewalks and patios saved ice melting chemicals, which would have been used for clearing snow, as well as provided a safer walking surface for employees and visitors. This system also increased process production by reducing heat build-up in the process which had been problematic for the nationwide manufacturer of baked bean products and other canned vegetables. New facility expansion engineering is now underway and will incorporate similar concepts to potentially heat all warehouse space and new office and employee spaces with recovered heat.

 Mabel Tainter Theatre, Menomonie, WI. This facility was given the top AIA Minnesota Merit Award for excellence beyond design for innovative architectural and engineering design.

he V & S Construction Services story began in 1952 when James Vonasek and Robert Schieffer, Sr. decided to team up and launch a new construction company. The company started with a blend of residential and light commercial projects and eventually the workload became almost exclusively commercial construction. The company incorporated in 1970 and grew into one of the major building contractors in Northwest Wisconsin. By 1986 V&S was in its second Tgeneration of ownership and today is owned and operated by Bob Jr., Kurt, Ren and Todd Schieffer. Collectively, the four brothers have a combined construction experience of over 137 years with each bringing their own expertise and knowledge of the industry to all of our projects.

Through the years, V&S focused and solidified its place as a premiere builder of concrete, masonry and steel structures. We self-perform the following categories of work…pre– engineered buildings, concrete work, masonry, carpentry, and metal studs & drywall. V & S provides general contracting, design-build and management services for projects ranging in value from $5,000 to $15 million. We strive to build relationships through cooperation and communication. With the goal to develop a partnership with each client that goes beyond the initial project, we are proud to say that better than 65% of our yearly workload is repeat business.

V & S has always been a family business dedicated to customer service of the highest quality. A solid financial base, a good reputation and a nucleus of key employees has led to our success. The core of our work force includes many employees who have been with us for twenty or more years. These employees have connections to the northwoods and the communities that we serve, with an appreciation for honest hard work and a knowledge of practical know-how. We serve a small geographic area and know that every building we construct will stand for years as a testimony of our skills and efforts. We point to our past accomplishments because they are the base on which we build our future.

Construction Participation V & S Construction Services tries to encourage the widest participation possible between all the parties involved when we are selected as the construction team member. We understand our role as the contractor and we know it is our responsibility to help the designer and the owner see the benefits of this relationship.

We would expect to see all the individuals involved with design, equipment selection, environmental systems and finishes. We see our role as one that ties design to construction and for that reason we offer the following services:

Design Consultation & Review: Throughout the years we have been expected to work as part of the design team to add our knowledge of construction costs to the architect’s expertise in design and function. This process involves more than simply putting together a cost proposal for your consideration. We understand that we will be expected to work closely with the architects and contractors for other phases of work. This will assist in developing a building design that provides you the best building value for your dollar.

We encourage continual and frequent communication with the design team so we can be an aid in the development of the project budget.

Budget Estimates/ Values Analysis: From the design meetings and using a preliminary set of drawings and outline specifications, we will provide budget estimates for various phases of work using costs from previous projects. We will also draw upon the expertise of key sub-contractors and suppliers to help assure us that we are using accurate information in preparing the estimates.

Cost Control/Budget Management

Our approach to cost control & budget management is team based and the process for us starts at the beginning when project documents are developed.

Our team process allows us to work closely with the design professional and share with them our knowledge of construction costing. Our goal at this point is to provide the owner with a project design that is quality based and cost efficient.

As the process moves on, we then start to look at scheduling to help control costs. We utilize the knowledge of our field personnel, along with input from the owner, to develop a schedule of construction activities that flows smoothly from operation to operation. Our goal here is to provide all of the subcontractors the opportunity to perform their work as efficiently as possible.
