(WJE) is pleased to provide you with this proposal for providing <br />architectural and engineering related services for a limited scope of exterior repairs to address the <br />observed water leakage at the Arden Hills City Hall building in Arden Hills, Minnesota. TIns proposal is <br />a follow-up to the City Council work session attended by WJE in September 2007 and our recent <br />telephone conversations. <br /> <br />SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> <br />This proposal addresses the following tasks: <br /> <br />l. Preparation of construction documents and obtain contractor bids for installing new through. wall <br />flashing along relieving angles (WJE Work Session Item 3). <br />a. WJE will prepare a Project Manual for the required repair work. The Project Manual will contain <br />bidding and contracting requirenlents, technical specifications, and drawings. Division 0 - <br />Bidding and Contract Requirements of the Project Manual was previously reviewed by the City <br />of Arden Hills (City) for the chimney repair project that was completed in 2007. We assume the <br />same standard AlA contracts and bidding requirements will be used and that the construction will <br />be competitively bid following the City's requirements. <br />b. During the bidding process, we will: <br />(l) Attend a pre-bid meeting to answer any questions the bidding contractors may have. <br />(2) Prepare addenda as required to answer questions generated during the pre-bid meeting or <br />bidding process. The addenda will be used both for clarifications and for any changes that <br />arise from these questions. The addenda become part of the contract documents. <br />(3) Provide a tabulated sumnlary of the bids and assist the City in selecting a contractor. <br />c. Our design will be based upon our field measurements, conditions that have been exposed to date <br />and the original design drawings. Until demolition is underway however, we will not know how <br />well the as.built construction matches the original design drawings. It is likely that some <br />unforeseen conditions will be encountered once the repair work starts that will necessitate <br /> <br />Headquarters & Laboratories-Northbrook, Illinois <br />Atlanta I Austin l805ton I Chicago I Cleveland I Dallas I Denver I Detroit I Honolulu I Houston <br />Los Angeles I Minneapolis I New Haven I New York I Princeton I San Francisco I Seattle I Washington, DC <br />
