And lastly, Rich, I will address the proverbial bottom line. At this time we do not know the full scope of the project, so the fee I am proposing is to take the project through Preliminary Design (i.e. Pre-Design) only. We would provide the following services to you during Pre- Design, for a total fixed fee of $21,200, plus reimbursable costs for printing only in this phase. We will not request mileage/travel reimbursement for Pre-Design Service Phase. I would estimate printing costs at approximately $1000 max, depending on fund raising graphics requirements. • Meet to discuss overall project needs and wishes. • Develop and document the project Program, defining space needs and relationships. • Review local Zoning Requirements • Meet with Local Codes and Zoning personnel to introduce them to the project and review preliminary concerns. We have found this step is invaluable in gaining the requisite support of the local codes and zoning departments. • Study and present numerous site and plan options • Revise options based on meeting input • Identify probable construction costs of various options. • Present and revise options as necessary to meet your needs. • Prepare graphics of preferred option for fund raising and promotional purposes: o Site Plan o Preliminary Floor Plans o Exterior renderings, similar to examples provided. o Present to local groups and committees as required • Items not included in our services, but required for Preliminary Design: o Site Survey: Boundaries/Setbacks, Site Utilities o Hazardous Materials Study (to determine cost as it relates to building demolition) Once we understand the preferred overall project scope, we will propose a fee for the remaining services, to take the Pre-Design into Schematic Design and through Construction Administration, where we will work with you and the contractors to get the building built. Typical fees for Schematic Design through Construction Administration would be expected to be in the 6% to 8% range. There is room in that range to discuss specific services you mayor may not require, in order to manage the final professional fees. In closing, SJA Architects understands this type of project and we are ready to start work immediately with the City of Elk River and any other peripheral parties. We appreciate the opportunity to share our initial thoughts with you, and would look forward to working with you on this exciting project. If you have any questions regarding this proposal, please feel free to contact me at 218-491-7364. • Sincerely, Brian Morse AIA, Principal /Architect Cc: File Don Larsen Ken Johnson
