1. Determine fire substation facility program space and functional needs for both current requirements and a projected growth period. 2. Prepare site and conceptual building plans based on the program including floor plans, elevations and sections. Multiple conceptual plans may be possible. 3.. Determine infrastructure impacts of new substation including, but not limited to: a. Septic/sewerage disposal b. Town water c. Public utilities (i.e. electricity, gas telephone, etc.) d. Parking and traffic 9. Provide a list of recently completed projects (past five years), and their corresponding project costs, in the Massachusetts area, that are similar in function and size to the proposed project. 10. Develop a detailed construction cost estimate for each conceptual plan including, but not limited to: a. Complete site-work and building plan b. Phasing, relocation and moving costs including temporary relocation or facilities c. Furniture, fixtures and equipment d. If required, environmental remediation e. Related and required infrastructure even if not on the project site f. Building operating, replacement and maintenance costs for a project appropriate period of time. g. Corresponding detailed project schedule including design, bidding, procurement, construction (phasing), commissioning, occupancy and project close-out 11. Provide a complete program budget for each conceptual plan including, but not limited to, costs for design and construction documents, bid advertisements and plan distribution, all capital costs identified in the detailed construction cost estimate, contract administration (off and on site), and a project contingency. 12. If multiple conceptual plans are developed, provide an evaluation for each option and recommendation for that option which is the most cost effective and meets the program requirements. 13. Provide presentation materials and displays for public review and comment for each conceptual plan. May be asked to assist with public meeting presentations. 14. Prepare and issue a final report including description of the agreed program requirements, all site and building plans, narrative descriptions of each option and their corresponding cost estimates and recommendations.
