grossing factors to establish the overall size of the buildings, as well as outdoor space for fire training, parking etc. in these programs. 4) Conceptual Plan Scenarios. This task assumes the Consultant will make one trip to the City. a) Programmatic Scenarios: Based on data and input from interviews with City police and fire department staff, establish the needs for the City's public safety facilities, which will be incorporated into a combined City /County room -by -room master space program, including identified shared space for efficiencies. The Consultant will use this program as the basis for developing subsequent conceptual options. b) Blocking and Stacking: Develop blocking and stacking diagrams for the County's jail facilities under separate contract with the County. The Consultant will incorporate the City's facility needs with the County's to develop scenarios for the combined operations. The diagrams prepared by the Consultant will consist of pre- schematic concepts, illustrating the general footprint configuration and multi -story options as applicable. c) Site Testing: Test the combined City/County blocking and stacking options on the various sites and evaluate the viability of the sites to accommodate the new facilities. In addition the Consultant will address on -site parking, security and landscape buffers, outdoor recreation, service and access roads, site /grounds maintenance facility(s) and future expansion capacity. The Consultant will provide a plausible configuration that demonstrates each site's suitability, but will not provide detailed site design services. 5) Design and Construction Guidelines. Develop guidelines that describe overall characteristics of the physical plant to establish a general level of construction, systems quality and performance goals. These guidelines are intended by the Consultant to be a supplement to the County design guidelines addressing general structure, windows and doors, exterior and interior finishes, suggested MEP systems, security and technology and site characteristics. The guidelines will be general in nature and will not be at the level of an outline specification. The purpose of this task is to provide the cost estimate and to provide an indication to those-solicited for design and construction of the general type and quality of facility the City, in conjunction with the County, is looking for. 6) Cost Estimate Assistance. Provide cost estimates for the proposed City portion of the facilities, including both construction and soft costs. The Consultant will prepare the cost estimates on a systems format basis (based on unit costs) in order to assist the City with its budgeting process. Where spaces are shared between the City and the County, the Consultant will facilitate conversations between the parties regarding the apportioning of costs. 7) Summary of Outcomes /Final Presentation. This task assumes the Consultant will make one trip to the City. CITY HALL • 630 EAST HOPKINS • SAN MARCOS, TEXAS 78666 • 512.393.8150 • FACSIMILE 512.393.3983 SANMARCOSTX.GOV 4
