Attn: Jonathan Luiz, Town Administrator Re: RFP: Facilities Optimization Committee Project

Greetings Mr. Luiz: The Town of Weston’s educational and municipal facilities are your most valuable physical asset. Optimizing their use makes great sense since they are serving one community that has common interests not competing ones. As Architects and Planners, we are committed to not only working alongside you to produce a realistic outcome or product but also to design and facilitate a credible and transparent process that builds consensus. We have found that with public projects a successful process validates the product and leads to overall community support.

Managing your physical assets requires reliable data, careful analysis, and imaginative foresight. The Town of Weston is at a critical juncture in determining the future of your facilities; there is a lot to consider and it will take an experienced team of professionals that know the complexities of assessing and planning community infrastructure to be successful.

We have assembled that team and we are fully committed to working with your leadership and the Facilities Optimization Committee to engage all stakeholders to ensure that a comprehensive and credible Optimization Plan is established from a clearly communicated, consensus building, process. The firms and individuals who will be working on this project know the Weston Public Schools and are highly experienced in assessing and planning public buildings.

We have successfully completed planning projects for similar sized communities including:  Greenwich Public Schools Master Plan (2019) – 15-year plan for 16 buildings totaling approximately $900M.  Darien Public Schools Master Plan (2016) – 5-year plan for all 8 buildings for $82.5M.  Yonkers Public Schools Educational Facilities Plan (2019) – Long Range Plan for 37 buildings serving 25,000 students totaling approximately $1.9 Billion. All three of these communities are using these plans as guidance moving forward and because of their satisfaction with the KG+D team, they continue to work with us to implement small and large portions of their plans. Our goal is to provide the Town of Weston with the same level of satisfaction by conducting an engaging and accessible process that answers Weston’s key questions about how best maximize the potential of your facilities.

KG+D’s primary differentiator is our ability to actively listen, test ideas with imaginative design and to always view the solution through the lens of how it is best realized or built. This manifestation of our firm’s adage, ‘Listen. Imagine. Build.’ is what guides our projects and allows us to plan and develop dynamic built environments that reflect the specific needs of the communities they serve.

As principal Owners of KG+D, both Erik Kaeyer and I will be personally involved in the development of your plan. Please feel free to contact me should you require any further information.

Sincerely: KG+D ARCHITECTS, PC

Russell A. Davidson, FAIA - Principal + President

TOWN OF WESTON FACILITIES OPTIMIZATION PLANNING MARCH 8, 2021

INTRODUCTION

Our goal is to provide the Town of Weston with an excellent product that builds off your existing assessment and planning efforts to develop an achievable plan that is delivered through a high quality and effective process. We feel the best process for this type of engagement emerges from the initial meetings with you but have outlined our recommended approach in this proposal. We look forward to refining the design of the process to suit the specific needs of the Weston Community.

There is a reason that the first word of our firm tagline is “Listen.” We practice active listening with all our project stakeholders (clients, board members, community members, and end users) to understand their vision and create imaginative solutions for their design challenges. We build healthy, sustainable projects that embrace equity and celebrate the diversity within our communities and our region.

Our full response provides a detailed description of our approach and qualifications. Here it is in brief:

Approach

• Extract a detailed list of infrastructure and program improvements needed for maintaining/updating all facilities at their status quo with assigned realistic budgets and relevant priorities aligned into achievable projects outlining a 10–20-year continuation. • Listen, Look, and seek to understand both how municipal activities and instructional programs are best accommodated as established by Weston’s administrators and to gain a comprehensive knowledge of how the existing buildings are utilized and their current conditions and challenges. • In addition to reviewing and understanding the existing assessment and planning work, each site and building will be evaluated by architects with municipal and educational planning and design experience. The data gathered will be catalogued in the form of a model program of spaces and outline of performance specifications as well as a narrative description of existing conditions. • Test fit the model program into the facilities in a range of options to fully explore the “art of the possible” as it pertains to Weston’s specific buildings. • Analyze buildings slated to close for adaptive re-use for Town Administrative facilities or other identified uses for the Town of Weston. • We embrace the concept of generating multiple conceptual iterations to test ideas with design. We will explore “Good, Better, Best” design solutions for each challenge as they best support the Weston community. As architects specializing in public facility planning and design, we have found that exploring multiple options including both the blue-sky approach as well as the path not taken, leads to more widespread community support and the overall success of the selected design solution. • As architects, we realize that oftentimes the design process and project deliverables are not accessible or easily understood by those who are most affected by a project. Our inclusive process and open dialogue throughout the life of a project ensures that our clients and project stakeholders have a clear understanding and level of comfort at every step of the project.

TOWN OF WESTON FACILITIES OPTIMIZATION PLANNING MARCH 8, 2021

• The process outlined above will be led by the FOC conducted in collaboration with Weston Public Schools and the Town of Weston. • We also advocate for a series of public forums once some baseline information has been developed to create an open dialogue on the process and the findings. The location, topic and frequency of these forums should be decided in collaboration with FOC/Weston leadership. We firmly believe that building consensus on the output of a process requires meaningful and authentic input during the early stages. We have also recently utilized e-mail questionnaires to attendees of virtual meetings and can also facilitate live polling during a Zoom meeting to get quantifiable and authentic feedback efficiently in a virtual setting. • We will present and package the Plan, so it is both a comprehensive planning resource and has embedded within it clear, accessible, actionable messages to assist in gaining support for the required improvements. • The final deliverable will include an 11” x 17” formatted pdf and print document with appendices and PowerPoint presentations that can “stand-alone” on a website or be used by the Town to share the plan. We are also willing to participate in videotaped presentations suitable for posting on a website. • Cost estimates and the overall fiscal plan & schedule will be embedded in the two deliverables above as well as provided in an “executable” or “live” Excel file. We have developed this customized programmable spreadsheet format over the course of several of our recent planning efforts and our clients have continued to use it after our engagement has concluded as their plans are implemented or as they are inevitably modified in scope or schedule. We can demonstrate how this interactive tool works at an interview or videoconference.

SCOPE OF WORK

By submitting our proposal, KG+D understands and agrees to carry out (if selected) the entire scope of work as outlined in the RFP.

TOWN OF WESTON FACILITIES OPTIMIZATION PLANNING MARCH 8, 2021

PROJECT APPROACH

Weston Public Schools’ buildings and facilities are the Town of Weston’s largest and most valuable physical asset. As your community will support these facilities forever, the Town’s initiative to conduct a comprehensive facilities analysis and planning process will allow you to develop a clear path for the future that is practical for the sustaining Weston community.

We understand that the Town of Weston through its Facilities Optimization Committee requires professional services related to the development of a plan that explores and addresses the possible consolidation, expansion, closing and/or renovation of Town educational facilities and certain Town administrative facilities, and the relocation of municipal and school staff offices located in those facilities.

We understand that some of the FOC overarching goals for the plan include:

• Explore and determine whether it is feasible, given school population trends and expectations, for the Town to move from the four-school model to a three-school model at a reasonable cost and timeline. • Develop a plan to optimize the Town’s non-school facilities which would include the reorganization of the Board of Education Central Office, Annex, Bus Depot, the Historic property known as Jarvis and Town Hall. This plan should explore the possibility of repurposing the Bus Depot for Annex use and relocate the Bus Depot. • Improve learning environments and explore modifications and enhancements that include but are not limited to physical security, sustainability, health and safety, daylight enhancements and MEP improvements. • Explore renovations or alterations that would enhance students’ 21st Century Learning Environments including, but not limited to:

o Science classrooms o Performing arts spaces o Art classrooms o Life skills classroom area o Culinary arts classroom o Enhance F-Wing, G-Wing, H-Wing general classrooms and hallways o Enhance High School D and E wing general classrooms

• Ensure consistency with the Town’s Plan of Conservation and Development.

Furthermore, we understand that the Facility Optimization Committee has developed a shortlist of scenarios, which at their core encompass a change from a four-school campus to a three-school campus and consolidate the Town and School District staff offices. It is anticipated that these scenarios may be further developed, combined, or additionally explored against a comparative baseline consisting of the existing four school campus and current configuration for Town and School District Staff.

TOWN OF WESTON FACILITIES OPTIMIZATION PLANNING MARCH 8, 2021

The two principal scenarios being considered currently are:

Option Reconfiguration

OPTION 1 High School: Grades 9-12

Close (and repurpose) Middle School: Grades 5-8 Hurlbutt Elementary School Intermediate School: Grades PreK – 4

OPTION 2 High School: Grades 9-12

Close (and repurpose) Intermediate School: Grades 5-8 Weston Middle School Hurlbutt Elementary School: Grades PreK - 4

The detailed process and tasks we anticipate completing are outlined below:

FACILITIES ASSESSMENT KG+D proposes to first implement a facilities assessment process. Our intent is not to repeat the survey or planning work that has already been completed, but instead we will review all available information, plans and drawings and utilize them as a starting point for establishing clear information for the basis of Weston’s planning project.

• Review existing drawings and reports and meet with the Town of Weston and Facility Optimization Committee and facilities staff for each campus/facility. • In addition to reviewing and understanding the existing assessment and planning work, each site and school building will be evaluated by architects with educational planning and design experience. The data gathered will be catalogued in the form of a model program of spaces and outline educational specifications as well as a narrative description of existing conditions. • Extract a detailed list of infrastructure and program improvements needed for maintaining/updating all facilities at their status quo with assigned realistic budgets and relevant priorities aligned into achievable projects outlining a 10–20-year continuation. • Each improvement line item has an associate construction cost estimate (based on regional construction cost data), and priority listing to determine the importance of the improvement and the planned year for replacement. • We will review the findings with the Town of Weston’s facilities staff and administrators including the list of improvements and assigned priorities.

TOWN OF WESTON FACILITIES OPTIMIZATION PLANNING MARCH 8, 2021

• The observations and recommendations will be assembled into a detailed scope of work and realistic and achievable budgets for coordinated repair or capital projects. • Identified tasks will be prioritized to identify areas of urgent need and aid in the grouping of related tasks to create efficient and effective project planning. • Itemized cost budgets will be developed that are inclusive of project contingencies and a reasonable allowance for professional fees to specify each project. Once the budgeting process is complete, we will again meet with the Town of Weston to gather input into capital initiatives, prioritize projects and refine the scope of each project. • KG+D will present a final report to the Town of Weston and the Facility Optimization Committee and deliver a digital file of the report.

Using the information gained through existing reports, plans and evaluation, we will work collaboratively with you to complete a planning process that explores the two potential options for consolidation and address the reorganization and optimization of Town Administrative Facilities.

Facilities Optimization Plan In order to explore potential optimization of design solutions for the Town of Weston’s educational and municipal facilities, our team will lead a collaborative programming and planning process that will include the following steps:

• Introduction + Gather Program Information • Analyze Data + Explore Design Options • Evaluate + Refine the Selected Option • Create the Final Report or Facilities Plan Document

Introduction, Gather Program Information • During the initial phase, in conjunction with district administration, city departments, organized committees and project stakeholders, the KG+D project team will become oriented to the project goals, define a strategy and finalize the schedule for completing the planning process. • We will work with school leadership to plan a series of stakeholder meetings with the appropriate KG+D team members and district staff to address each building and site under consideration. • Listen, Look, and seek to understand both how instructional programs are best accommodated as established by Weston’s school administrators and to gain a comprehensive knowledge of how the existing buildings are constructed and their current conditions and challenges. • This programming, review and evaluation phase of the project is accomplished in a highly interactive manner that requires access to staff and interviews with key personnel. It involves a deeper review of the programs, activities and spaces that are to be incorporated into the plan. • We will also consider key changes to educational programming and spaces as well as municipal office programming and spaces as they have been affected or changed by Covid-19. • Review your demographic and capacity information.

TOWN OF WESTON FACILITIES OPTIMIZATION PLANNING MARCH 8, 2021

• We will analyze in detail the use of all spaces within each building to determine how best to realistically accommodate programs and create spaces that are flexible and adaptable to the full range of instructional needs. We will provide recommendations regarding maximum site sizes, possible school additions or new sites.

Analyze Data, Create Program + Explore Design Options • The data gathered will be catalogued in the form of a model program of spaces and outline educational specifications. Test fit the model program into the three facilities slated to remain educational buildings in each option in order to analyze the alternative layouts for consolidation and to generate a true functional capacity for all schools at each grade level. • Based on the information gathered through our evaluation and discussions with the Town of Weston and the Facility Optimization Committee, KG+D will further develop the identified scenarios and/or generate 2-3 new or modified design options. • Analyze buildings slated to close for adaptive re-use for Town Administrative facilities or other identified uses for the Town of Weston. • We embrace the concept of generating multiple conceptual iterations to test ideas with design. We will explore “Good, Better, Best” design solutions for each challenge as they best support the Weston community. • KG+D will conduct a meeting with the Town of Weston and the Facility Optimization Committee to review the design options and gather input and feedback. • Options will be updated to reflect the Town of Weston and the Facility Optimization Committee input and feedback. • Meet with the Town of Weston and the Facility Optimization Committee to review the design options to determine the best approach. • The exploration of design options is thorough and typically includes the following: 1. Conceptual site plan (in color) that illustrates major site improvements – building footprint, walkways, driveways, and parking lots. 2. Conceptual floor plans (in color) that depict the major program spaces, sizes and adjacencies. 3. Three-dimensional computer-generated massing models that generally show the size/ shape and how the concept ‘sits on the site.’ 4. A phasing plan with built in “swing space” is also considered as design options are explored. The open discussion of options typically leads to widespread support for the selected option.

Evaluate + Refine the Selected Design Option • After the preliminary design options are reviewed, KG+D will refine the selected design option based on input and feedback from the Town of Weston and the Facility Optimization Committee. • In addition to the documents created during conceptual design, a more detailed and refined set of drawings is assembled, and the designs are reviewed for all mechanical and electrical requirements.

TOWN OF WESTON FACILITIES OPTIMIZATION PLANNING MARCH 8, 2021

• Develop a phasing plan for implementation. • Create a comprehensive project budget based on the selected design option and phasing. • Our planner will also research both funding sources and how school and municipal facilities are managed in similar communities in the region. • A draft of the Facilities Plan will be presented at a meeting the Town of Weston and the Facility Optimization Committee for review and comments, and your input will be incorporated into the final Facilities Optimization Planning Report.

Create the Final Report or Facilities Plan Document • Upon completion of the planning process, KG+D will prepare a final report for the Town of Weston. This is typically in the form of an 11” x 17” presentation book of the proposed comprehensive development plan. The report includes floor plan drawings and summarizes all work done during the study and preparation of the plan. • A draft of the plan is presented (1) to you for review and comments, and your input is incorporated into the final report. • The final report comprises our analysis of the existing program and space utilization, program requirements, development of proposed design alternatives, the recommended design solution and the proposed plan of action including phasing and costs. • KG+D will present the final report to the planning committee, which will comprise our analysis of the existing program and space utilization, program requirements, development of design alternatives, the recommended design solution, and the proposed plan of action including phasing and costs.

TOWN OF WESTON FACILITIES OPTIMIZATION PLANNING MARCH 8, 2021

PUBLIC COMMUNICATION KG+D has been involved in many public information processes and has found that municipal leadership and educational administrators, board members and parents are most successful as leaders of the public information process. We will be available to act as a resource and to play any role that the Facilities Optimization Committee and the Town of Weston deems appropriate.

As part of the public information process, KG+D will provide relevant graphics and narratives, attend public meetings and presentations, and assist in preparing responses to specific concerns raised during public meetings. We will work alongside the Town of Weston and the Facilities Optimization Committee’s leadership during this planning process to effectively communicate both the needs and the appropriateness of the proposed plan.

• We also advocate for a series of public forums once some baseline information has been developed to create an open dialogue on the process and the findings. We firmly believe that building consensus on the output of a process requires meaningful and authentic input during the early stages. • We have also recently utilized e-mail questionnaires to attendees of virtual meetings and can also facilitate live polling during a Zoom meeting to get quantifiable and authentic feedback efficiently in a virtual setting. • We will present and package the Plan, so it is both a comprehensive planning resource and has embedded within it clear, accessible, actionable messages to assist in gaining support for the required improvements.

Over the course of the last 15 years, KG+D Architects has completed in excess of $750 million of public- school projects. Unfortunately, the nature of this work and construction environment has resulted in a limited number of legal disputes. The majority of these instances originated as claims between the Owner and Contractor related to contractor performance. KG+D Architects has never delivered sub-standard professional services or adversely impacted a project in any way. We would be happy to discuss this topic further if you have any specific questions.

TOWN OF WESTON FACILITIES OPTIMIZATION PLANNING MARCH 8, 2021

FEE PROPOSAL KG+D has always been able to establish fair and reasonable fees for our services with our clients. We strive to find the right balance between providing high quality professional service with being affordable and competitive in the public sector. We focus on the value of our service and working with our clients to create an overall cost-effective outcome that will serve users and taxpayers for the full life cycle of all facilities.

We have generated a detailed breakdown of our fees as requested in Weston’s request for proposal which is attached (11 x 17 format).

Base Proposal

Assessment + Planning 4 School Buildings $167,250

Alternate 1

Town Administrative Facilities $60,850

Alternate 2

Bus Depot $21,900

Grand Total $250,00

KG+D’s lump sum grand total fee is: Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

We are flexible and willing to discuss adjustments to this proposal associated with modifications to scope and or level of detail. It is possible that some of the assessments already completed can suffice and if we are not obligated to do that work a reasonable credit to the fee can be discussed.

We have also attached a preliminary schedule based on the tasks in the RFP. KG+D is flexible and can work with the FOC to refine the overall schedule. We find that it is important to take the proper amount of time to complete a process as impactful as this one will be for Weston. It is also important to schedule important decisions when leaders and the community are engaged which often requires a pause during summer months.

Printing and delivery expenses would be limited to the costs for printing and the cost of express delivery services related to the project. There would be no invoices for typical in-house printing or plotting of documents, travel to and from the project site or proximity, meals or fax and phone use related to the project.

The pool in the gymnasium has been the primary cause for the facades’ deterioration; as part of the project the team redesigned the pool’s HVAC system to properly ventilate and remove moisture to reduce vapor infiltration into the masonry cavity.
