3.292's Project Process <br />projects by reviewing both capital and ongoing operational costs. <br />292's goal is to design innovative and pragmatic buildings that promote reuse of <br />resources where possible; provide a highly functional and healthful environment <br />for the occupants; minimize pollution; have a-long, useful life expectancy, and <br />most importantly, meet the current and future needs of all project participants and <br />maximize the benefit achieved for each dollar spent. <br />The Work Plan <br />The 292 team begins each project with a clearly defined work plan that outlines the <br />projects goals and potential outcomes. The work plan outlined below will address <br />the scope of services anticipated for this study. 292 would be happy to work with <br />you to modify this plan as needed to best suit your needs. <br />1. Project Kickoff <br />Representatives ofthe City of Elk River and other project stakeholders will meet with <br />the 292 projept team to discuss the work plan and to identify the decision-makers who <br />will be involved in the project. We then prepare a statement of goals and objectives <br />and aschedules/agendas for additional meetings and presentations. <br />292... <br />Design Group <br />2. Userlnput <br />With an established statement of goals and objectives, the next critical phase is to <br />review the work undertaken to date and collect input from the various groups and <br />individuals who will be participating in the facility. The 292 team feels strongly that <br />the greaterthe open dialogue with the various partnering groups, the greater the ~' <br />potential for a successful study. _~ <br />3. Facility Program Development and Review <br />After collecting input from the various users, the 292 team will prepare a written <br />facility program - a document outlining and prioritizing the needs and requests of <br />the project stakeholders. The preparation of this initial draft program document will <br />begin to establish the parameters of the facility design at each level and will become <br />the outline for further development of the project. The city, user-groups and other <br />stakeholders will then review the program documents to insure compliance with their <br />needs, desires and wishes.Often this will entail difficult decisions regarding budget, <br />building area, and included amenities. The 292 team will provide professional cost <br />consultation and guidance in the resolution of these issues. <br />4. Conceptual Design <br />With approval of the written facility programs, the 292 team will prepare a series of <br />conceptual designs. These concepts will formulatethe adjacencies and relationships <br />between the various components of the project, explore the space requirements ~ <br />and relative costs, and provide a clear understanding of the possibilities for the ~ <br />Elk River Ice Arena. These conceptual designs will begin to suggest the Torm and z <br />organization of the project and are a useful tool for analyzing the operational aspects <br />of the proposed project. The final conceptual designs will set the basis for defining <br />project scope and budget. 292 provides guidance during this process, refining the o <br />various designs to create final conceptual design alternatives that best meet the ~ <br />needs of the community. All of the designs prepared during the conceptual design ~ <br />phase will include site plans to assist in understanding the impact the design will ~ <br />have on the existing site in terms of parking, circulation, emergency access and <br />other site planning concerns including compliance with local zoning ordinances. y ~' <br /> w " <br />
