ENRICHING LIVES AND STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES | 52  PROJECT APPROACH DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE Throughout the DD phase, BKV Group will conduct a series of workshops guiding the owner through the process of selecting mechanical systems, selecting finishes and equipment, planning all of the casework, picking plumbing and lighting fixtures, etc. At each workshop and for each topic we will discuss how the proposed options will impact police operations or fire operations and what specific workflows are supported. We will finish the building energy model and begin to output information about optimal insulation thicknesses, lifecycle savings from daylighting, anticipated energy costs, etc. Other sustainable approaches will be discussed and confirmed. We will finalize all of the engineering designs, including the integration of altering/ dispatching equipment, to conform with city standards and the latest code requirements. We will assemble product cut sheets of each proposed material and equipment to be clear about the design intent, and we will assemble a specification document for your review. Spaces with an elevated interior design, like a training room, or complicated integration of many building systems, like an apparatus bay, can be modeled in great detail and exported into a 3D spin around that the city can use to understand the fine-grained details proposed for the space. These code assessments will be reviewed in detail with the appropriate regulatory agents to ensure mutual interpretation. We will meet with Xcel Energy to help the city through the design assist process to make sure that the project can take full advantage of the rebates offered. We will update the city council and the residents about project progress. At the end of the phase, BKV Group’s in-house quality assurance (QA) team will review the design development deliverables just prior to the end of the phase to catch any discrepancies and ensure a well-coordinated set. We will meet with the owner’s project team to discuss any final comments before getting notice to proceed into construction documents. Our design development deliverable will include grading and utility plans, stormwater plans, landscape plans, irrigation plans, architectural site plans, floor plans, fixtures, furnishings and equipment (FF&E) plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, wall sections, interior elevations, door/window schedules, interior finish plans, foundation plans, roof framing plans, mechanical plans and schedules, plumbing plans and schedules, electrical plans and schedules, and communications plans and schedules. In addition, we will include a code review, up-to-date renderings, a detailed cost estimate, a description of potential cost- control alternates, cut sheets for all the equipment, materials, and products planned for the station, and a draft specification. Finally, BKV Group has a tremendous value-added feature to ensure that the design will serve the needs of police and firefighters. We utilize virtual reality software that allows a police officer of firefighter to “walk” through the designed facility to ensure that the design reflects the desires and needs of public safety personnel. CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS PHASE During this phase, we thoroughly develop the final drawings and specifications to illustrate in detail the requirements for construction. We will resolve the last few outstanding questions in workshops with the owner, but much of the time is
