Debra: RE: Window and Door Replacement Project
Waterloo Center for the Arts
We are pleased to provide this proposal for improvements at the Waterloo Center for the Arts. Our
understanding of the project is as follows:
The scope of work is to study and implement replacement of the hollow metal doors and glazed framing
along the river side of the 1965 structure.
We will review and document conditions of the existing hollow metal doors and windows on the original
structure. We will develop recommendations for replacement of the doors and window, along with budget
pricing for the work. Building plans and elevations will be developed to indicate the recommended solution.
We will develop bidding and construction documents to complete the work. We will issue documents for
bidding, hold a pre-bid conference, assist the City in receiving bids, and will develop the contracts for
construction.
During construction, we will hold coordination meetings, review submittals of systems and materials, will
conduct a punchlist inspection and will provide coordination of contractors submittals to complete the
project.
We do not anticipate that consulting engineers will be required to complete the project. Should we
determine that the fin tube radiation adjacent to the existing openings needs modification or replacement,
we would add that work by amendment, and would obtain a proposal at that time.
We propose to hold two meetings during design, the first to review the existing conditions and
recommendation for improvements, and the second to review documents prior to issuing for bidding. We
will hold two meetings during construction for coordination, and will provide up to four site visits, in
addition to the punchlist inspection.
We propose to provide these services working on an hourly basis with a maximum fee of $13,000, plus
reimbursable expenses. Statements will be issued on a monthly basis. Reimbursable expenses are limited
to the cost of production of bidding documents and shipping, and will be billed at cost. The maximum
reimbursable expenses will be $500. A copy of our hourly billing rates is attached.
