RE: Statement of Proposal for Design Professional Services

State of Georgia Judicial Complex, No. GBA-182-DP

Dear Mr. Lacks and Members of the Selection Committee:

On behalf of HKS, we consider it an extreme privilege to submit our proposal for architectural services for the

design of the new State of Georgia Judicial Complex. Our proposed team has been assembled to make your

project a success. We are privileged to have made it this far and we look forward to beginning the project with

you and your team soon. Following is a synopsis of why we know the team that we have gathered is the great fit

for your project.

PROVEN TEAM WITH JUDICIAL EXPERIENCE: With HKS as the prime architect responsible for project

performance and execution; and with Dewberry Architects as the lead designers and judicial planners -- we off er

the State of Georgia the highest level of expertise in both project control and judicial design. Dewberry is one

of the nation’s first firms to specialize in courthouse design and have been providing expertise in this practice

area for over 30 years. Their designs have been recognized with nearly 250 juried awards on national, regional,

and local levels. We believe that our team’s combination of deep planning and design resources; knowledge of

the design and security concepts being used in today’s judicial buildings; and familiarity with GSFIC and the site;

make us highly qualified to provide design and planning services for your State of Georgia Judicial Complex.

A TEAM DEVELOPED NOT BY A SINGLE PROJECT BUT RATHER THROUGH A HISTORY OF WORKING

TOGETHER: HKS and Dewberry have a long history of working as partners to deliver large and complex projects.

To date we have collaborated on 10 projects -- totaling more than 5 million square feet. When architects partner

on projects it is imperative that the relationship can show a history of success. This is a partnership built on trust,

relationship and strategic benefit the State of Georgia. Additionally, our consultant team members have work

with both HKS and Dewberry on past projects and have extensive backgrounds in this product type.

PROJECT DELIVERY: HKS has delivered the most complex multi-faceted projects in the city in the last 10 years.

Whether it was Terminus in Buckhead or Cox Communications in Dunwoody or Allen Plaza in Downtown Atlanta,

all of these projects represent large scale, schedule driven, and cost conscious delivery methods. All of these

projects also represent CM at Risk relationships with our contractor partners. HKS considers project schedules

primary to the success of the project delivery. Our project management tools allow us the proper oversight to

meet our deadlines and our projects finish on time.

MARK HULTS, AIA, LEED AP BD+CASSOCIATE PRINCIPAL AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT

BIM EXPERIENCE SECOND TO NONE: HKS and Dewberry are fully committed to REVIT and have each

participated in the development of the program alongside AUTODESK. The project teams we have committed

to the deliver your project are the most advanced A team architects in the industry. For more than 14 years, our

proposed HKS team has worked collectively as a unit and are just coming off of the 1.5 million square feet Cox

Communications project in Dunwoody, Georgia which was modeled in REVIT.

EXPERIENCE WITH SYSTEMS THAT MEET YOUR NEEDS BUT DOES NOT OVERLY COMPLICATE IT’S USE: HKS

and Dewberry selected Newcomb and Boyd for their experience in judicial design as well as their experience in

providing systems that blend of eff iciency and straight forward user friendly application.

CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION IS NOT JUST AN AFTERTHOUGHT: During construction administration,

we have a dedicated construction administrator to manage the process. We have found this approach to be

a very significant benefit to our clients. The person that has been identified also has extensive experience

on State of Georgia projects all of which are GSFIC based projects. He will also play an important role in the

production of the work in a quality control capacity. This insures the project will be a continuation from design

to construction versus a handoff .

You have my personal assurance that your project will get the full benefit of our expertise, depth of talent and

passion. We look forward to further discussions, and thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Mark Hults, AIA, LEED AP BD+C

DESIGN EXCELLENCE

The new federal courthouse created for the General Services

Administration (GSA) was designed in compliance with GSA’s

Design Excellence Program and the GSA/ISC Design Criteria

for Courthouses and Federal Facilities. This project has been

recognized for its strong design, its use of BIM and the highly

energy eff icient and sustainable systems.

The architectural language of the design aims to create a stable

and dignified image appropriate to the judiciary in conjunction

with a sense of accessibility and engagement in the life and

physical patterns of the City. The courthouse’s height and scale

are in relation to the surrounding buildings; however, it is tall

enough to possess an urban presence and provide views in all

directions from the upper floors.

Overall, the cast stone cladding of the building, its horizontal

inflections, the conservatory-like entrance pavilion and its

terrace extensions into the landscape of the park suggest the

broader and traditional prairie architecture of the region.

ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE

Per the GSA’s design standards, the target sustainability goal for the Rockford U.S.

Courthouse was LEED Silver. Through careful planning and LEED, Sustainability

and life cycle costing analyses through all phases of the project’s design and

construction, the Courthouse was able to achieve a LEED Gold rating. Sustainable

measures employed on the Project include:

• High albeido “cool” roofing

• High eff iciency exterior building skin

• High eff iciency HVAC and Plumbing systems

• Building automation / management system

• Automated / mechanized window and sun shading

• Rain water reclamation and storage

One of the main sustainable features of the design is the extensive use of

daylighting and borrowed light throughout the interior spaces, including the

courtrooms.


The Interiors of the Building are formal and

patterned from the traditional courthouses and

courtrooms of the region. The use of fine woods,

detailing and craftsmanship add to the overall

presence of the space and create a solemn and

dignified atmosphere. Materials were carefully

chosen for their ease of maintenance and ability

to be carefully detailed and constructed.

Natural light enters the building through the

atrium, public corridors, and skylights. The clerk’s

off ices benefit from borrowed light from both

the atrium and the public corridor to the east.

The courtrooms on the upper floors receive

natural light through their western wall which

extends all the way to the ceiling thus allowing

light from the corridor to spill into the courtroom.


BIM

The Courthouse was both conceived and executed utilizing BIM/

CADD software. The success in the use of BIM for this project

helped form the basis for final development of the 3D and 4D

standards and applications for GSA and the Off ice of the Chief

Architect that are in use today.

The ability to view all elements in 3D had a major beneficial impact

on the design team. By modeling all components in 3D, several

issues were discovered that had gone unnoticed in traditional 2D

coordination. Furthermore, the model provided the team with

additional insights into how objects interacted in space that led to

adjustments which greatly improved the final built product.

In recognition of the positive impacts of BIM on the development

of this project’s final design, Dewberry was a finalist in the BIM

for Visualization and Simulation category at the 2007 Bentley

Enterprise Awards of Excellence.


Chatham County Courthouse

DESIGN EXCELLENCE

Dewberry is currently leading the design for the addition,

expansion and renovation of the Chatham County

Courthouse located in the historic district of Savannah.

This project is especially relevant due to its size and how

it must be incorporated into the existing fabric of the

governmental complex.

There are few places other than Savannah that have a

more rich tradition of southern architecture and its many

influences in one location. The building is designed to

respond to these rich patterns and traditions while creating

a highly functional and technologically sound work

environment.

The design of the new courthouse is respectful of the

historic Oglethorpe plan and responds directly to the

original layout of the City of Savannah. With the new

Courthouse sited facing Oglethorpe Avenue, the large

porch defines the main entry to the courthouse and recalls

the historic porches of the downtown.

DESIGNED TO FIT SAVANNAH

The genius loci of this courthouse has been developed

as a direct extension of the master planning for the

historic district of downtown Savannah, Georgia.

As a result, the new courthouse will be a strong

contribution to the rich city planning and architectural

heritage of Savannah. The design focuses on the ideas

of redefining the existing Courts Campus, restoring

both Liberty square and the western boundary of the

historic district. This is accomplished by siting the

building at the southern edge of courts campus to

restore the boundaries of Liberty square.

The exterior edges of the four story courthouse align

with the principal facades of the adjacent buildings

within the City. This reinforces the City’s well defined

urban edges and is in keeping with the scale and

character of the context buildings in the area. The

slight bend on the west end of Oglethorpe Avenue

provides a relief in the building mass to expose the

main entry at the street intersection.

SOUTHERN TRADITIONS

The central referential space is delineated

as an atrium with a public stair connecting

all levels. It is flanked by two solid

masses, the courts bar to the north and

the court support bar the south. Facing

onto Oglethorpe Avenue is the main

entry porch and colonnade. This element

encloses a two story special proceedings

courtroom on levels 2 and 3. Behind the

north courts bar is the judges’ chambers

expressed as a linear off ice sliver.

The porch is clad in aluminum latticed sun

screen which provides shade from the

southern exposure and a interplay of light

and showdown on the building surfaces.

The aluminum detailing directly recalls

the ornate iron metal work of Savannah’s

historic porches.


EXPRESSES THE PURPOSE, USE AND FUNCTIONALITY

The courtrooms are housed on the northern side of

the atrium in a simple rectangular form; specialty court

support spaces and the special proceedings courtroom

are located on the southern side of the atrium in an

irregular shaped block which responds to the bend of

Oglethorpe Street.

The exterior mass of the two resulting blocks are aligned

with the principal facades of the buildings within the city

so the courthouse can reinforce the well-defined building

edge that is another strong defining feature of the city’s

character.

Level Two houses the Special Proceedings Courtroom,

Snack Bar, and a large multipurpose meeting room.


Terminus 100 & 200

Terminus is a 4-million square foot, urban mixed-

use development in the Buckhead district of Atlanta.

Conceived as a 24-hour live/work/play neighborhood,

this high-density, vertical development is named after

the historic commerce and transportation town that

became Atlanta. Terminus marks a new direction in

development for modern-day Atlanta, which has a rapidly

growing business district but remains largely a commuter

town. The master plan for the 9.9-acre site includes the

650,000 square-foot Terminus 100 and the 500,000

square-foot Terminus 200 off ice towers that anchor the

development, a major public space known as Café Street,

a 140-unit condominium tower, Terminus 10 Place, set on

a 12-story parking structure, and three additional 200-

unit residential towers, and restaurant and retail space

totaling over 100,000 square feet.

FINDING SOLUTIONS FOR A COMPLEX PROBLEM

HKS played an integral part during the programming

and site plan phases of this project. Terminus as a

whole is a project with many parts that had to come

together in a homogeneous design. Along with that

Terminus is located at main and main in Buckhead

Georgia so the building had to address both Peachtree

and Piedmont but at the same time we needed to find

a way to bring people interior to the site to patron

the retail that wrapped the site. By creating central

pedestrian oriented spaces that ran perpendicular

to the main arteries we were able to move people

through the site which created viable off street retail

opportunities.

D4e | BIM

HKS was one of the first architectural firms to

extensively use Building Information Modeling (BIM).

For nearly a decade, all of our newly awarded

projects utilize BIM capabilities. Because of our early

implementation of the BIM platform, our team has

years of experience using it. Our team is committed

to working in a shared BIM model which will provide

continuity of the documentation throughout this

project.

BIM’s 3D approach allows the building team, as well as the

owner, to see how the pieces of their project fit together

in real time and bringing you the following advantages.

• BIM allows you, the owner, to quickly study

options via analysis tools – establishing the

best design (e.g. LEED certification points, most

eff icient volume and perimeter, site orientation

and building views).

• The new technology allows architects and their

team members to study the cost impact of

diff erent designs (e.g. exterior wall system

options, percentage of glazing versus solid wall) –

providing a better cost overview.

• BIM analysis tools promote green design (e.g.

daylighting studies, energy calculations, site

orientation and implementing new solar technology.

• BIM supports the Integrated Project Delivery

team process by giving the team the tools

necessary to exchange required information

between all members – saving time and money.

• The quality of overall documents improves due

to 3D modeling coordination – promoting a

coordinated set of construction documents.

• BIM reduces the possibility of building

construction conflicts which could require

change orders – saving additional costs.

• The process encourages all industry team

members to communicate – helping improve

eff iciency of scheduling construction activities

(e.g. analysis and sequencing of work, materials

delivery, ordering long lead items, organizing

construction site storage and staging areas).

Our team has experience with BIM and has clear

capabilities to deliver the new State Judicial Complex.

E. Design Plan

E1 | Firm Proposed Overall Role

HKS is in association with Dewberry for the State

Judicial Complex. HKS will be the architect of

record and sign the contract. HKS will lead all project

components including project management, production,

construction administration, and project closeout

eff orts. Our associate architect, Dewberry, will lead the

design eff orts and will assist with technical support and

construction administration services as needed.

Anticipated Level of Management Responsibility

HKS’s management process is second to none and

ultimately we are responsible for project concerns. We

have a track record of processing not only the design

drawings in an eff icient and methodical manner but

also the construction administration of the project in

a timely fashion. HKS processes RFIs and submittals

very quickly which enables the construction

professional the ability to process their work in the

same manner. The hallmark of HKS is that we deliver

our projects on time and on budget. We are very

proud of our 75 year track record with successful

project delivery which is among the very best in the

industry.

Project Commitment: We Partner with You

To accomplish the important mission of your project,

your team will feel much like an extension of the

GBA/GSFIC staff . We will maintain a very proactive

approach to resolving project issues.

Our Approach

We will use a series of charrettes style meetings to

establish project parameters and directives that will set

the course of the design process. At the initial project

kick off , we will facilitate an interactive discussion

to understand your administrative goals, strategies,

project drivers, vision, key project stakeholders and

committees, and refine roles. Additionally, together we

will agree on the project schedule, budget and other

key logistical concerns to guide our design process.

Leadership, Direction and Consensus Building

A steering committee will be identified – a small

leadership group – that would guide a larger select

stakeholder design committee. The stakeholder

committee would include relevant members of GSFIC

and GBA. The chair of the steering committee would be a

champion for your project’s welfare throughout its course.

The steering committee may choose to tour recent

state-of-the-art examples of similar facilities in the

region, or across the US, in order to raise the level of

common discussion and understanding. The objectives

of such a trip would be to see firsthand what might

work well for GBA/GSFIC, and what may not; and to

serve as a primer to raise the bar for further project

development.

The team would then propose to facilitate a series of

design “charrettes” at your off ice. These charrettes

are intensive work sessions, where the design team

In our soul and in our daily practice, we are a service company. Our vast suite of capabilities allows us to intersect with one another, involve experts at every level, include our clients’ visions and improve each project we touch.

E. DESIGN PLAN | 26

will literally work right there at your off ice for several

days in a row, and facilitate discussions and reviews

each afternoon with the stakeholder committee. The

committee will have selected members representing

all pertinent aspects of the project community. This is a

wonderful, lively and engaging approach to deriving input

and direction that otherwise might not be obtained.

Charrette Process

The charrette process off ers the benefits of

hearing all points of view, gaining consensus

among stakeholders, and achieving “buy-in” and

endorsement. The process will save time in the overall

schedule by having the intensive work sessions.

Our first session should be oriented toward program

validation, goal-forming, and identification of project

constraints for the new building. The second session

could be centered on site analysis and related issues;

and subsequent sessions might entail building layouts

and refinements.

These sessions would be attended and directed by all

key members of our design leadership team – each

of whom off ers a diff erent area of expertise, and an

important point of view to maximize project potential.

Among other classic design presentations (such as

tracing paper sketches), we would work with live

animations and 3D simulations projected or hung

on the wall for everyone’s participation. This graphic

illustration and true-to-life depiction provides you with

dramatic visualization of your project.

After two or three charrette sessions, the project

would be reviewed by a sub-committee – perhaps the

steering committee- for a series of developmental

meetings. The entire committee would reconvene

when necessary for major updates.

Additionally, if available, we would like to set up an

“war room” where we can hold these charrettes and

keep copies of our drawings and floorplans posted in

the room.

Communication Plan + Project Communication Tools

Communication is the thread that will provide

consistency, accurate sharing of information, build

trust and provide a design that addresses concerns of

all key stakeholder parties balanced with the realities

of budget and schedule.

E. DESIGN PLAN | 27

E2 | Unique Challenges/Risks

1. During the pre-proposal meeting the phrase

was used that this building is to be an addition

to Capitol Hill. That being said the challenge

exists on how to develop a visual and functional

connection to the State Building Complex.

The proposed site is separated from the other

buildings on the hill by the intersection of Capital

Avenue and Memorial Drive. This intersection is

both expansive as well as complex as it relates

both the surface streets above and the I-75/85

beneath. The site design will need to recognize

this challenge and reinforce the connection

through the use of street scape, a continuity of

furnishings from the rest of Capitol Hill, paving

patters, pedestrian spaces which all will have

interaction with Capitol Complex employees,

visitors, and clients. The building also will need to

provide a strong visual marker that draws attention

to the site from afar.

2. The existing building has underground spaces

that run along the Capitol Avenue frontage. The

site also has a dramatic grade change that falls

from Capitol to Fraser. The building will have to

address these conditions by providing program

that can help be day lighted on the East side of the

HKS is often recognized for its abilities and

accomplishments in communicating and

working successfully with our clients, contractors

and subcontractors We are proud of these

accomplishments, as they are a testament to our

partnering ethic.

The American Society for Healthcare Engineering

has been awarding the Vista Award to Owner,

Contractor and Architectural teams since 1993. This

award recognizes teams that have worked together

to develop and demonstrate eff ective and eff icient

communication; and rely on data-based decision

making processes. HKS has one the Vista award 8

times.

Tools: Our team will set up a project website, such

as SmartSheet, which will host meeting minutes,

action item logs, images, drawings, photography and

other key project documentation. It will also contain

the schedule and list of key project contacts, as a

reference throughout the project.

HKS uses a web video conference system called

Blue Jeans, which we will use for quick meeting and to

include key stakeholders that cannot attend the multi-

day charrettes. Through this program, we can show

video and share our screens. It is also available as a

phone or tablet application, which can be very useful

during site visits and construction administration.

Additionally, our standard communication tools

include: e-mail, telephone, electronic drawing

transfers, and other means of information transfer with

all stakeholders so that the appropriate amount of

involvement for all parties can be achieved.

Your users and stakeholders will have all of the key

project data and status available through the website,

Blue Jeans and our other communication tools with

real-time updates.

project while being buried on the West. Program

elements such as service, parking, and building

support are prime examples of areas that can

aff ord this type of condition. The placement of the

building on the site will also be critical to manage

the impact of these constraints. A building

more justified towards the corner of Capitol and

Memorial where the land issues impact the site

least will be an approach and also serves to bring

the building closer to the other structures on

Capitol Hill.

3. Ingress, egress, and building service will influence

the site access design. Curb cut locations along

Capitol Avenue will probably be limited by GDOT

which makes Fraser and Memorial take center

stage in this analysis. Having secured parking for

the judges as well as secured parking (separated)

for staff and then general public parking will create

several access points along these two streets.

Along with the parking you also will have building

service which in all has the potential to create a

confusing situation. Clearly marked ingress and

egress as well as proper separation will help to

mitigate this issue.

4. Storm water management may include Green

Infrastructure Best Management Practices, such

as rainwater harvesting and reuse. The City

of Atlanta, while not a driver as this is a state

project, actually has a guideline approach that

we can use as a guide to develop the plan. The

neighboring park may provide an opportunity

to provide landscape irrigation water or water

for other uses and features. The site design will

need to include sustainable practices for storm

water management and other sustainable building

practices. The LEED accredited professionals

on the Team will bring their experiences to the

design.

5. As we all are aware the city services such as water

and sewer have been an issue throughout Atlanta.

We expect that this building will be no diff erent.

Having an experienced Team that will quickly

analyze the capacities of the existing services

will be critical in meeting our project schedule.

The building that occupies the site currently has

minimal demands based on its past use so this

early analysis and response will garner the project

team’s immediate attention. This project team has

the experience to guide whatever opportunities

this analysis uncovers. We have been involved

in projects in the city where we have had to deal

with water being delivered in antiquated systems

as well as sewer capacity that had to be increased

using pipe burst so we do not anticipate there

will be anything that we discover that will be a

problem for our team.

6. As noted in the pre-proposal meeting, cost

estimating on every project can be a challenge.

The construction market in the City of Atlanta

is volatile at the moment. During the “great

recession” the construction industry retracted its

labor pool at an alarming rate. As construction has

continued to recover over the last one to two years

there is a general lack of supply of not only general

labor but also quality labor. This has caused

construction prices to increase and we anticipate

this condition to continue with two major stadiums

as well as other ancillary construction taking

place across the region. Material prices are also

anticipated to increase over the next year as a

result of more materials being needed for the

new construction as well as the factories that

produce these items also cut back production

during the last 6 years and have yet to increase

material production. The lack of quality labor will

also be detrimental to the quality demanded on

your project. To help mitigate that issue we feel

our Construction Administration delivery method

is perfect for your project. Our administrator is

both well versed in state procedures but will also

be dedicated to your project. This is imperative to

the success of creating a lasting building for many

years to come.

all sizes and levels of complexity. A key element of

our success in this arena is a well considered work

plan, crafted around the unique requirements of each

individual client and project. Shown below is our

proposed timeline for the GBA State Judicial Complex.

We will be able to meet your overall schedule, based

on the information we have received to date, including

the time needed for reviews, approvals, bidding,

negotiating, and construction.

We believe that the schedule should be agreed upon

collaboratively. Once awarded the project, we will

work with the GBA and GSFIC to determine the

most appropriate schedule for this new building. We

envision that the project would begin with a kick-off

meeting involving pertinent stakeholders. Additionally,

our schedule accommodates the multi-day charrettes

process that you describe – which is our preferred way

to design.

Program Verification

The success of program development relies upon

the involvement of all appropriate stakeholders. We

will work with your key project stakeholders and

committees so that all valued input can be acquired

and incorporated. The collected information, built

upon the initial building program that you shared at

the pre-proposal meeting, will be presented to the

GBA stakeholders as the process evolves so that any

adjustments can be made during the process rather

than adding time at the end.

After establishing the groundwork for the

programming validation eff ort, we will, with our

consultants, host a series of meetings with stakeholder

groups to identify important issues of each such

group. As part of a charrette, we will focus upon

the program, followed by an open discussion of

Goals/Visioning to define what is to be achieved

during all facets of the project. This could include,

but would not be limited to, aesthetic requirements,

functional requirements, facility management goals,

sustainability strategies, community involvement and

future growth strategies. It is also important to share

any constraints that may exist – budgetary, temporal,

political, code, or physical.

Conceptual Development

The main goal of the Conceptual Design Phase is to

narrow down options to a single design solution, refine

choices for building systems, and make decisions for

the building design that meet all project goals.

With adequate site information, and an approved

program, HKS | Dewberry will develop concepts and

present those to the involved stakeholders through

our regularly scheduled work sessions. Our process

focuses on listening to your needs, strategies, and

aspirations. Design information will evolve from the

amalgam of collected information into cohesive ideas

that can be distilled to clearly understood concept

documents representing three (3) distinct approaches

to the project. While you will see an evolution of

the concepts throughout the process, our team will

present the final concepts at the conclusion of this

phase. We will meld the approved ideas from these

concepts to move forward to schematic design.

Schematic Design Phase

Once appropriate concepts have been explored and a

direction approved, the team develops the schematic

design. All rooms, corridors, work stations, alcoves

and materials are planned and confirmed with the

client and users for the selected schematic design.

As part of the schematic phase, our interior designers

and engineers develop and present their concepts for

their respective portions of the project. At this point,

the design is re-checked against the project budget

to determine cost conformance. Adjustments can be

made to achieve the owner’s budget requirements.

Design Development

During design development, we work closely with

you and your users to identify and plan each room’s

intended use. Equipment, finishes and necessary

HVAC for each space are identified and planned.

Each area is planned with the client’s and users’ input

as well as our planning team’s professional advice.

As an option, we can do a courtroom mock-up

to test sights lines and gain consensus. Vendors

for special equipment needs are brought into the

process to verify planning for selected equipment,

provide schedule input and identify final installation

requirements to incorporate into the construction

documents.

Documents are prepared in 1/8” or 1/4” scale with

each piece of equipment, furniture, electrical outlet,

communications port and light fixture noted for each

area in the room data sheet stage. At this time, our

interior design group presents materials and colors for

selection and approval.

The design is again checked against the project

budget to determine cost conformance. Adjustments

can be made to achieve the owner’s budget

requirements.

“Our designs reflect the unique culture and environment in which they are sited and are progressive solutions which maintain a sympathetic dialogue with the traditions of the past.”Michael LeBoeuf, Director of Design

Dewberry Architects, Inc.

Construction Documents

With approval of the design development documents,

we develop the project’s construction documents.

During this phase, meetings are scheduled with you

and users to incorporate client-desired changes.

The result of this phase is a set of construction

documents (drawings and specifications) including

architecture, engineering, interiors, civil, landscape

and all other disciplines required for bidding and

constructing the identified scope of work.

Construction

HKS provides construction administration services

during the construction phase, with a peer review

by Dewberry. During construction, HKS participates

in owner/architect/contractor meetings to review

project progress, issues and quality. Our construction

administration staff visits the project, as required, to

review project progress and contract conformance.

The construction administration services include site

observation reporting, submittal review, payment

certifications, document clarifications, contract

changes and determination of material completion.

Closeout and Occupancy

Once construction is materially complete, our team

will assist the contractor preparing punch lists of

incomplete items or items requiring correction. We

monitor the project to completion and recommend

final payment to the contractor upon satisfactory

completion of all project requirements. HKS, as

requested, schedules and assists the client and

contractor with project commissioning. HKS will

also facilitate the Contract Warranty period and

assist the Owner in achieving warranty corrections or

adjustments. This includes a one-year walk-through to

finalize project delivery.

Managing the Schedule

The schedule provided is a conservative roadmap

to project execution We realize the importance of

establishing realistic time schedules for each project

phase. The schedule for the programming and

design phases are established from past experiences

on similar projects, constant monitoring, in-house

reviews, and scheduled reviews with the owner.

We have an understanding of how to weave the design

and construction process into the GSFIC timeline.

E4 | Construction Administration

Construction Administration is a vital part of HKS’s

design services. We employ a cadre of skilled

construction administration professionals to review

work conformance and report work progress and

quality. During the project’s construction phase,

these individuals are responsible for managing and

coordinating our services with the owner, construction

manager and general contractor. Through scheduled

on-site reviews, day-to-day issues are handled timely

and eff iciently.

Our Construction Administration group continues to

set the standard. We were nationally recognized when

the American Institute of Architects (AIA) asked us to

author two chapters on construction administration

for their intern development program guide, “The

Emerging Professional’s Companion,” and again when

E. DESIGN PLAN | 32

we were asked to write the chapter on construction

administration in “The Architect’s Handbook of

Professional Practice,” the industry guideline for the

architectural practice since 1920.

Following are activities that typically occur during

construction:

Project Start-Up

The key to eff ective management is planning and

coordination. Construction phase activities and

procedures are established at the preconstruction

conference. The primary management tool for HKS

construction contract administration is the HKS Project

Procedures Manual. This document, tailored specifically

for the project, addresses communication, document

routing and processing, construction phase procedures

and close-out requirements. We are familiar with your

Design and Cosntruction Manual and will be sure to

incorporate it into our construction process.

Project Construction

Scheduled meetings with action-item guided

management, reporting and task execution are part

of our construction phase services. Each issue is

given a priority and assigned to a team member

with a targeted completion date. Our agenda-driven

meetings are documented and distributed promptly.

Outstanding issues and time-sensitive documents

are electronically tracked and managed on Attolist, a

document management database, unless otherwise

requested.

Site visits are conducted at two-week intervals

during construction. Each design discipline issues an

observation report with every site visit. The reports,

which include site photographs, address work

conformance and progress. Issues that arise during

observations are addressed in scheduled team meetings.

Pre-installation conferences are required for

appropriate subcontractors and vendors in

anticipation of installing appropriate building elements

and systems. These contractor-supervised meetings

are used to coordinate trades with adjacent work

through drawing and detail reviews and to exchange

information necessary for eff ective coordination.

Project Material Completion

Material completion is a key milestone in the

construction process. It documents the contractual

success of project completion for the contractor

and the owner. To support this, HKS performs the

material completion inspection and helps the owner

coordinate governmental agency reviews required

to obtain a certificate of occupancy. Certificates of

material completion with appropriate punch lists are

issued for each designated portion of the project.

Project Close-Out

Project close-out is initiated well in advance of

completion through the preparation and distribution

of the HKS project close-out checklist. The checklist

includes all specified close-out items and activities

required by the contract for project completion.

Follow-Up Review

HKS will visit the project prior to the end of the

contractor’s one-year warranty to assist the owner in

documenting warranty issues.

WE BELIEVE THAT SUCCESSFUL GOVERNMENT PROJECTS REQUIRE EXTRAORDINARY EFFORT.

Our proven past performance is a key indicator of your future success. HKS is currently delivering

some of the largest government projects in the country. These important projects are being delivered

in record time and, in many cases, via design-build project delivery to not only save taxpayer money

but save valuable time with shortened project duration.

E5 | Energy Eff icient Design

and Principles

We understand a building’s position within the greater

context. We recognize its impact on its immediate

surroundings and the environment as a whole, and

we continually work to be responsible stewards of our

neighborhoods and our planet. It is with this spirit that

we approach projects with not merely an attitude of

how we can create a minimal footprint, but rather how

can we inspire and motivate behavior within and even

beyond the structure.

Our design team off ers a unique design perspective

grounded in substantial and varied experience

across the country that goes beyond mere structures

to their overall sustainability. Our cadre of diverse

design professionals is excited about making positive

contributions to all aspects of environmentally

responsive design and construction. From building

systems and infrastructure to interior finishes and

furnishings, Dewberry designers have the tools,

training, and experience to meet and exceed

increasingly high levels of green design, creating

buildings that contribute to their environmental

context – from building site to regional and global

ecosystems.

Commitment and Formalization

Sustainability is more than just a word to us. Our

commitment is documented and formalized as we

continually strive to improve our operations and

reduce our environmental footprint. The HKS Green

Operations policy has been developed to formalize

our goals and provide an operational framework for

each of our off ices worldwide.

Sustainable design is incorporated into all Dewberry

projects from inception and the “green” choice is

encouraged throughout as decisions are made.

Regardless of whether a project intends to seek LEED

Certification, we develop a “green design” strategy

Sustainability is infused into all that we touch. We build energy simulation models early in our process to help inform decisions made in our design studios. Our approach is collaborative and integrated, focused on conserving resources, achieving energy independence, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and eff ectively improving your bottom line.

during pre-design that reflects the project’s needs

and our client’s goals. For example, they evaluate site

orientation, roof and paving color, and water usage,

among other elements, for how they can impact the

overall sustainability of a given project. Dewberry

also incorporates natural daylight and ventilation as

much as possible in order to create quality working

environments and consider resource management,

recycling, and transportation when selecting materials.

In particular, Dewberry works with and challenges our

projects’ engineers to select appropriate, modern,

high performance systems that can improve a

building’s eff iciency while reducing energy bills and

the drain on non-renewable resources.
