Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a professional services contract for the Facilities Management Division with Harris Design Services for professional architectural, engineering, and LEED Certification services associated with the design of a new Fire Station 10, to be located of 1056 West Broad Street.

The new design will also provide for the first US Green Building Council LEED Certified fire station in the City of Columbus. This is in compliance with the Mayor's policy directive "Get Green Columbus 2005: Environmental Stewardship in the 21st Century." The policy directive calls for the City to follow Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) criteria when constructing, remodeling, or refurbishing public facilities.

Harris Design Services will be responsible for design and construction administration. The design phase will include the design of a facility to a LEED certified level, progressive meetings with the City and the community through completion of agreed upon final product, complete zoning process, renderings, drawings, specifications, and the bid process. The construction administration phase will include shop drawings and submittal reviews, RFI and change order process, pay request review/approval, weekly site progress meetings, providing as built drawings/CAD files, with close out documentation upon completion of the project. The contract will also include an architectural contingency for City requested scope of work changes and unforeseen circumstances.
