SCHEDULE REVIEW BKV G R O U P Project Schedule There are different schedule approaches that can be taken to accomplish the work required for the remodeling & expansion of The City of Elk River's Public Safety Facility and new Fire Station No. 3. One option would be to spend the 10 to 12 months completing all of the planning and design work, in that approach the preliminary schedule might be as follows: • Site & Program Confirmation - 4 to 6 weeks • Schematic Design - 9 to 12 weeks Review Period - 2 weeks Design Development - 10 to 14 weeks Review Period - 2 weeks Construction Documents - 12 to 16 weeks Review Period - 2 weeks Bidding & Award Phase - 6 to 8 weeks In this approach the project would be ready to issue documents for bidding in approximately 40 to 50 weeks, roughly in January or February 2021. FAST TRACK Another option would be a fast track approach, in which construction begins in the summer/fall of 2020, saving time and project cost. The BKV Group team has done many resent phased projects that have been done with construction managers using a fast track approach. Some resent projects have been Pennington County Justice Center, Le Sueur County Justice Center, and the Rochester North Police Station. In this approach the approximate schedule might be: • Site & Program Confirmation - 4 to 6 weeks • Schematic Design - 9 to 12 weeks Review Period - 2 weeks • Design Development - 10 to 14 weeks Review Period - 2 weeks • Construction Documents - 12 to 16 weeks Issue site prep, foundation, structural system for bids - 4 to 6 weeks after start of the construction document phase • Review Period - 2 weeks • Bidding & Award Phase - 6 to 8 weeks • Construction Phase Start construction of Fire Station No. 3 and foundation / structure for Public Safety Facility - starts around October 2020 The Fast Track approach could save approximately three to four months in the overall project schedule. The other aspect of scheduling your project that needs to be thoroughly reviewed will phasing construction and remodeling of the Public Safety Facility to maintain operations. For this work, based on our experience with similar projects we would anticipate the following: • Build new additions for fire & police • Move operations to new addition or adjacent areas to allow for remodeling • Remodel existing areas • Move into completed project Once final schematic plans are developed and approved, strategies for phasing can be better evaluated. Another topic that has schedule impacts is weather the Public Safety Facility and Fire Station No. 3 bid as one project, or based on locations are handled separately. There could be some economics of scale in bidding and construction all the work as one project. We will work with the city and Construction Manager in evaluating the options cost and time with each. However, as we start the project with you and the Construction Manager we will work with the team to identify which approaches would be best for the city and develop a detailed schedule identifying all deadlines, meetings, council meetings, etc. ENRICHING LIVES AND STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES 1 57
