Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1.1 Project Kick-off Meeting: The successful team will prepare an agenda for the project kick-off meeting to be held with staff of Georgia Tech including the real estate development office, capital planning and space management, facilities, design and construction and other representatives from the Institute. Items for discussion will include a review of the scope of work, a work plan with critical milestones and deliverables, review of available data and additional data requests, and confirmation of key project stakeholders. 1.2 Existing Conditions Analysis: The team will conduct a review of relevant prior “framework” studies and reports and an initial general field reconnaissance of the sector. The team will produce one or more project base maps for use throughout the planning and design process. Utilizing that base map(s) information, and other readily available data and/or information. The team will prepare an existing conditions analysis, which will include some or all the following elements: •Building Facility and Utility Infrastructure Age, General Condition and General Suitability to Existing and Future Purpose •Physiography, Land Form, Topography•Storm water, Hydrology, Drainage Basins•Vehicular Circulation Routes and Traffic Studies•Bicycle (LIT) & Pedestrian Circulation Routes/Paths•Parking Inventory•Service Area Utilization and Closest Street Access Route•Shuttle Operations•Spatial Character and Quality•Correlation of Existing Conditions with Landscape Masterplan Goals and Objectives, Eco-Performance Zones, Plant Communities & Corridor Requirements •Tree condition analysis to guide planning recommendationsThe analysis will be summarized in an Existing Conditions Analysis/Synthesis Plan. 1.3 Traffic Study: The traffic study will evaluate the traffic impacts, including vehicular on 10th street, but focused on pedestrian, bike and electric scooters associated with existing and planned development in the northeast sector of the Georgia Institute of Technology. This evaluation will assess existing conditions operations at key locations in the sector, provide future trip projections, evaluate future conditions traffic operations, and provide recommendations regarding appropriate roadway/intersection safety and design elements. 1.4 Future Sector Development Program: The planning and design team will review the 2004 Campus Master Plan Update and subsequent planning documents associated with the NXNE Sector, along with other proposed changes to infrastructure, vehicular access, pedestrian/bicycle circulation etc. 1.5 The EBB Concept Design report is the most relevant and recent study for this area and provides a comparable scope of work for the adjacent area. http://space.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/images/ebbsectorconceptualdesignreport.pdfThis plan provides the current vision for the terminus of the Eco-Commons and should be thoroughly studied, evaluated, and challenged as it relates to current conditions and opportunities for integrating the presidents house into the design. Subsequently, the team will meet with key stakeholders to discuss the amount of future growth called for in the Sector and identify current documented space needs and/or general perceived future facility needs from the perspective of the units that have facilities, or use space in, the Sector. During the meeting(s) with the stakeholders, the team will also facilitate a discussion of potential outdoor use(s) for consideration in the Sector Plan. The planning and design team will document the results of this effort in the Future Sector Development Program and assist Capital Planning and Space Management leadership in determining the amount and type of future development that should be incorporated in the Sector Plan. Both the red and yellow boundaries below define the focus area for this scope. The yellow boundary is the approximate limit of what was studied in the EBB Concept Design report.
