FIRM DESCRIPTION HISTORIC PRESERVATION

At Stanev Potts Architects, we believe in the importance of preserving culturally and historically significant buildings and architectural details. The intrinsic worth of historic structures often goes unaccounted for in many development decisions. We advocate for preservation by helping clients capture the value of their historic buildings through careful restoration, integration of modern elements and services, and by helping obtain available tax and financial incentives.

With our offices situated in the heart of the city of Philadelphia, we are very often involved in the re-purposing or restoration of structures 80 years and older. As a result, we have extensive knowledge of a variety of historic construction techniques from the colonial era through the mid twentieth century. We are also accustomed to navigating the often complex and potentially confusing bureaucratic requirements that accompany the permitting and approval process. This allows us to recommend tried strategies in the rehabilitation and restoration of older buildings, including the pursuit of federal historic tax credits when appropriate.

Founded in 2007, we currently have a full time architectural staff of seven talented, committed individuals, working on a range of project types in Philadelphia and throughout the northeast. Four of us are registered architects; three have close to twenty years of experience each; two senior staff are LEED certified and four of us are University of Pennsylvania graduates. Before joining Stanev Potts Architects, most of us worked in larger firms specializing in higher education and institutional architecture. Since our inception we have been a woman owned business and expect to receive official certification by the National Women Business Owners Corporation later this year.

In the fall of 2013, we were awarded the Philadelphia Emerging Architecture Prize given annually to recognize a young firm “producing high-quality design and thinking within the Philadelphia region”. Last year, our work was exhibited in a solo show hosted by AIA Philadelphia, featured in the Emerging Architecture Exhibit at the AIA National Headquarters, and received an Historic Preservation award from AIA Pennsylvania. Most recently, we were thrilled to take first prize in an international ideas competition hosted by the Philadelphia Athenaeum to re-envision it’s future home.

SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN & MATERIAL

At Stanev Potts Architects we generate unique and clear solutions through dedicated collaboration, close attention to detail, and appreciation of each client’s particular needs. Our drive toward a comfortable and clean aesthetic is grounded in the careful study of material, light, and context.

Our design process originates in a consistent focus on architectural fundamentals. We view space as the experiential sequence of paths, edges, nodes, and framed views and place a strong emphasis on connections between spaces, indoor and out. Working closely with occupants provides us with insights into the purposing of each building, allowing us to interpret subtle patterns and opportunities in the program.

We are committed to the importance architectural and artistic experimentation as a means of developing ideas outside of the architect’s conventional role. We investigate the most promising new materials and construction techniques, and integrate the results of our research with the most robust traditional and local practices. We believe these endeavors are essential to refine our professional vocabulary and expand our concepts of the sustainable, economical, and functional.

We remain committed to meeting the demands of the present. We view budget and schedule constraints as opportunities to enhance our designs. Each building is a long-term investment. Ultimately, our definition of success comes from pursuit of the best balance between the aesthetic, pragmatic, and economic goals of our clients.

Stanev Potts Architects was established with a strong commitment to sustainable design practice. We recognize our responsibility as a firm to properly account for the total environmental and economic costs of all our projects. We also seek out consultants who share this commitment as a means of exploiting all opportunities to conserve. The team assembled for this project is a fine example of this.

We work closely with every client to develop a sustainability strategy that matches their budget targets and organizational objectives. We believe that sustainability goals can best be achieved by coordinating an integrated system plan that incorporates site, infrastructure, and building, and starts from the earliest design stages and continues through construction and project completion.

Many of the sustainable strategies we employ are matter-of-course. We make responsible, renewable and healthy material choices. We are deeply familiar with sensible energy conservation practices from basic building form and orientation, to advanced daylighting strategies and highly efficient envelope and mechanical systems. When appropriate, we also pursue more ambitious and uncommon technologies. All of our projects, even those which did not choose to pursue certification have numerous conservation features built in. As part of our commitment to sustainable design, we are experienced in adopting the US green building standards of LEED and Energy Star. We are an USGBC Registered Firm. Prior experience with large institutional projects has entailed LEED certification, while our smaller projects often follow the LEED guidelines without pursuing full LEED documentation. At our current and prior firms we have been involved in a number of private and institutional LEED projects, achieving levels up to Platinum.

PROJECT SCOPE

The University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has evaluated and is moving forward with replacing outdated HVAC equipment in the Towne Building. The University is taking this opportunity to upgrade room layout and efficiency, finishes and lighting in affected spaces to best serve current and future needs and to reduce energy consumption.

The architectural goal of this project is to bring the interiors of the Towne Building programatically, aesthetically and mechanically in line with the important purposes that they support. As the cornerstone of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the Towne Building should inspire efficient and innovative work. As a new dean transitions into his leadership role, now is an opportune moment to update the building interiors to embody the school’s mission to be an international leader in scholarship and interdisciplinary research. We at Stanev Potts Architects would welcome the opportunity to reoganzie and modernize these interiors while celebrating the historic features present in the original 1906 building.

Regarding project sustainability, it is our understanding that the renovation should achieve a minimum

LEED Silver certification in the Commercial Interiors (CI) category. Our team’s past experience in various LEED projects give us confidence that this is highly feasible and that LEED Gold certification is likely within reach.

Stanev Potts Architects understands the scope of this project to be the following:

• Coordinate the installation of 4 new HVAC units• 3 units installed in basement mechanical rooms• 1 unit installed on the first floor at the location of the current unit

• Full interior renovations of approximately 6,600 square feet of office and bathroom space on the first and basement floors as outlined in the accompanying chart. In addition to new HVAC, these renovations involve a general reorganization of the existing office suites to better suit the evolving needs of the departments they serve as well as an update of all lighting and plumbing fixtures, new flooring, new interior partitions, electrical and data connections and new furniture. Aesthetic upgrades, such as new paint colors, and lighting upgrades should also be considered for the hallways connecting these spaces.

• New HVAC services with new ceilings and lighting as required / budgeted for the areas shown in the chart.

• Cleaning and painting of the mechanical spaces indicated in the chart.

• An Add Alternate to install Fire Protection will also be under consideration.


PROJECT LOCATION

The interior renovation work of this project takes place within the basement and first floor of the south and west wings of the Towne Building. The Towne Building is historically important in the development of the University of Pennsylvania’s campus and has long anchored the school’s engineering program. Built in 1906, the architectural character of the Towne Building, designed by Philadelphia architects Cope and Stewardson, set the tone for other large laboratory buildings, such as the John Morgan Building and Leidy Laboratories by the same architects.

Stanev Potts Architects recognizes the importance of the Towne Building’s adjacency to Smith Walk, a well traveled, attractive, and historic spine for campus pedestrian movement.

PROJECT CONTEXT

The Towne Building serves a number of programmatic functions, including but not limited to office suites, workshops and labs, classrooms. These programs must be carefully accommodated in order to accomplish the intended renovation with minimal disturbance. Construction is scheduled to occur during the summer months of 2016; however consideration should be taken to minimize its effect on summer programming and to mitigate environmental changes and other construction impacts on sensitive equipment and materials. We are aware that services to other building areas will be affected by the renovations. Careful coordination will be necessary to reduce impact on these spaces during construction.

We strongly believe in the importance of the social context of any new design endeavor. We pride ourselves on being patient and attentive listeners. Renovations are planned for several suites of offices, serving a variety of administrative and academic entities and their supporting staff. Our team will approach the design development process as an opportunity to build consensus amongst the different parties affected by these renovations and will work toward a design that is born out of their specific needs and shared goals. Our strengths in visualizing architectural potential will guide their individual objectives toward a common solution.

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS

We are eager to design a fresh, updated and comfortable interior within the context of a historically significant building. Our past work on notable Philadelphia icons, such as the Trumbauer’s Franklin Hotel, give us the confidence to re-examine existing conditions and the know-how to propose innovative and feasible insertions. This project presents a range of technical considerations which we are keen to address:

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Space PlanningSpace in existing buildings is a precious commodity for the School of Engineering. Intelligent and creative oversight of the collaborative effort to maximize the efficiency and functionality of the reconfigured spaces is critical.Though we may not be able to literally create more space with this project, we firmly believe that well organized space feels like more space. We have extensive experience in space planning for offices, hospitality and residential projects. Having worked on a range of project sizes we are well aware of the value of every inch of available space. We would work with the University to make best use of the available space resources as we have done in dozens of adaptive reuse projects in Philadelphia.

MechanicalThe largest technical challenge is updating the air conditioning system. As it currently exists, the system is both inefficient and ineffective. This was readily apparent during the building walk-through on a temperate spring day. While the inability to control temperatures causes discomfort, the inability to control the humidity poses an equal if not larger threat to the building program. Sensitive instruments and expensive equipment are compromised by fluctuations in their environment. Working closely with our mechanical consultant, AHA we are confident that we can address the system’s deficiencies and devise an approach to doing so that will minimize the impact on the remainder of the building during construction. Our team has a proven track record with similar projects as well as an intimate knowledge of the Towne Building itself. The 2014 Feasibility Study which AHA contributed to provides and excellent starting point.

StructuralThe flat arch masonry construction of the Towne Building poses some technical challenges to the design of penetrations. This is a fairly common construction technique in buildings of similar scale and vintage. We have renovated such buildings and have a good understanding of the ramifications of intervention. Additionally, the Feasibility Study has addressed the issue by suggesting a HVAC unit configuration that minimizes the need for larger penetrations. Our experience in Philadelphia has also given us a familiarity with relevant building codes and approval processes that are encountered when intervening in older buildings, and we are proud of our track record on a broad range of complex and multifaceted approvals and variances.

Historical PreservationThe hallways of the Towne Building maintain a number of original features which should be preserved. Our design team is highly detail oriented, with hands-on experience with historic elements and state-of-the-art technology. Our clean, modern details provide the polish to practical and professionally executed programming and space planning. Our awards and increasing number of repeat-clients testify to our ability to provide beautiful, sensitive work within technically difficult contexts.


LIGHTING

A large number of the spaces being renovated - including many proposed offices - will not have direct access to daylighting. Additionally, the client expects a large reduction in the energy consumption of the lighting fixtures.It will be very important to consider the quality of artificial light installed in the spaces and to work to maximize the penetration of natural light. We at Stanev Potts have a particular interested in light as a component of quality architecture and are confident that we can generate an attractive and efficient lighting package with our electrical consultants. We also frequently collaborate with lighting designers on projects where an even higher level of refinement is required. We feel that Andy Slavinskas, the lead lighting designer at the PMA, could make a valuable contribution to this project and propose that the University consider him as an additional service where such additional design collaboration is merited.

SUSTAINABILITY

The goal for this project is to attain LEED Silver Certification with the requisite reduction in energy consumption and selection of fixtures and materials.

Our team has a long standing commitment to sustainability and is familiar with the LEED process to help UPenn achieve the highest feasible rating for this renovation.

BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS

In 2014 UPenn commissioned a Feasibility Study and associated Cost Estimate for this project with the goal of “providing a comprehensive enough plan to insure that the future project is adequately funded”.

We do not currently have sufficient information to evaluate the completeness or adequacy of the estimate, however we propose an early meeting with the University to discuss the Basis of Design and specifications used to generate it in order to identify any budgetary concerns early on. For example, on first examination the Feasibility Cost Estimate does not seem to include a sum for the proposed interior glazing in the Office of Academic Programs. Once we have established a more complete understanding of the details of the original budget, we intend to design to the scope and the level of finish outlined, making every effort to keep the project within the defined budget. We are also proposing to produce the initial Design Cost Estimate at 50% DD instead of at 100% DD so that we can have an earlier indication of any financial concerns to be addressed before the final estimate at 50%CD. In the event that any cost estimates show the project to be over budget, we stand ready to work with the University to remedy the situation.


PROJECT SCHEDULE

This project will require consistent and intensive organization, consensus building and focused production in order to maintain the outlined schedule. In addition to the crucial importance of meeting University approval dates and the additional time allotment required to attain LEED Certification, there are three phases of the schedule that have to be given special attention to maintain the overall project timeline as defined.

Schematic Design: The proposed schedule does not include any additional time for a Programming Phase, but the Feasibility Study explicitly states that “an extensive programming phase will need to be conducted once the project moves forward”. This will require thorough and thoughtful end user meetings in order to quickly build design consensus.

Construction Documentation: Though not short per se, this phase straddles a number of University holidays and will need to be carefully timed in order to allow for productive review and estimate reconciliation periods. We are prepared to produce the 50% CD Set early on in the phase in order to facilitate navigating the timing constraints.

Construction: The available timing for the Renovation is constrained by the duration of the Summer Term in the Academic Calendar. Though this is not a long period, this project has the great advantage of coming late in the sequence of similar projects. We are ready to absorb and implement the accumulated wisdom of the University in this regard and also to produce thorough and cogent deliverables in a timely fashion in order for the work to proceed fluidly.

A complete Project Schedule is included later in this document. Please refer to it for further information on our preliminary efforts at organizing the timing of this project.

PROPOSED DELIVERY METHODOLOGY

Our methodology borrows from tried and true practices typical of the larger firms where we received our early training, tempered with our own take on the importance of balancing good leadership qualities, with empathy and passion for our clients goals, experiences and opinions. We will implement the proven architectural project delivery methodologies used by architects working with higher ed clients. After initial meetings to gather information about end users’ programmatic needs, we will establish regular progress meetings. At these meetings, we will provide the client with options represented by legible presentation graphics in order to prompt decisions. Then we will generate a record of these decisions and of action items leading to the increasingly detailed architectural drawings and specifications necessary to obtain permits, bid and build a project.


In the context of this established process we are ready to listen extraordinarily carefully and to endeavor to understand what is said, the context in which it is said, as well as what can be read between the lines; then to process the information with careful consideration of priorities of opinion, and relative roles of the stakeholders and participants in the process. One of the trickiest skills in architectural practice is to help clients form comprehensible decision-making frameworks, that allow disparate factors and points of view to be funneled toward a logical set of conclusions. In this way, decisions happen within a context that is self reinforcing, and which gives the stakeholders a methodological context that can be documented, and can help buffer potential shifts in opinion down the road.

SUMMARY

As you will see in greater detail later in this proposal, we have assembled what we believe is the ideal team for this project: a balanced partnership between practical knowledge, proven methodologies, and lean, cutting edge practices. Our young firm is nimble and flexible enough to quickly react to unknown project complexities and is comprised of experienced individuals already tested and proven on complex projects. Our familiarity with UPenn, the alma mater for most of the team, gives us insight into the needs and character of this community. We are ready to lead a team of practices that have successfully collaborated in the past, many of whom are already very familiar with UPenn and the Towne Building itself. Our project manager has worked with these individuals before at the University and elsewhere, most notably at UPenn’s New College House.

We listen carefully, document and parse what we hear, and then develop options that we walk the client through in order to prompt decisions. This pattern repeats, and is applied to increasingly detailed decisions, and over

PROJECT SCHEDULE

FEE PROPOSAL

OVERVIEW Our proposed base fee to provide the scope of architectural and engineering services and deliverables as outlined in the March 18th Request for Proposal for the Towne Building First Floor HVAC Replacement and Interior Renovations with one additional cost estimate at 50% CDs is $312,485. This scope will include design services and deliverables by the Architect and proposed Sub-Consultants beginning in Schematic Design through the end of construction and as necessary through the warranty period, including coordination with key university stakeholders. Our fee is based on the assumptions delineated below and in the proposals from our consultants.

ASSUMPTIONS

Project Scope, Budget and Schedule: We assume that the project will generally proceed per the approved project schedule without any significant hiatuses and revisions due to program, budget or scope changes which might necessitate additional services. Additionally, we assume that we will not be required to make substantial revisions to design work approved and signed off in prior phases.

Key Consultants: Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection: AHA Consulting Structural: Keast and HoodLEED Administration: AHA ConsultingCost Estimating: Darham Consulting Please see their attached proposals for details on their scope of services

Deliverables:Schematic Design: 100% Document SetDesign Development: 50% and 100% Document Sets, 50% DD Cost Estimate Construction Documentation: 50%, 90% Document Sets, 50% CD Cost EstimateBidding and Permitting: 100% CD/Bid Set for the HVAC Replacement & Interior Renovations, Furniture Bid DocumentsPost Construction: Record Documents conformed to represent all field orders and bulletins issued during construction.

A/E Team Services Assumptions:

FF&E: The base fee will include services to identify and specify new furnishings and equipment and identify existing furnishings and equipment to be relocated.

LEED: Basic services will include the identification of prerequisites and points and the selection and documentation of materials, systems and approaches and any necessary coordination with the USGBC, the builder and the LEED Commissioning Agent necessary throughout design and construction to attain the desired LEED rating. The design team will also track, review, coordinate and assemble information regarding the design-related points. The A/E team will provide energy modeling and overall administration.

Code and Accessibility: The project will meet required building and zoning codes, and design standards for accessibility.

Presentation Materials: Two-dimensional drawings and basic digital massing models necessary to convey design intent will be prepared for user meeting throughout the project and as required for the CAG, CCA and Trustee meetings. We have also budgeted time for one pre-meeting before the Trustee meeting.

AV/IT/Security: AV and IT for the Dean’s Office Conference Room commensurate with the existing presentation functionality and Coordination with the University or a Technology Consultant. Currently, no new security measures are being anticipated for this project.

Acoustical Design: Basic services will include work to design and document acoustically appropriate sound absorption and separation between spaces, but no specialized acoustical environments.

Lighting Design: Will include work by the architect and electrical engineer to select and lay out light fixtures, controls systems and circuiting for the involved spaces.

Client Responsibility Assumptions:

LEED: Commissioning Agent to be hired by the University to track, review, coordinate and assemble information regarding the commissioning related points. All LEED registration and any other LEED related fees to be paid by the University directly or through the architect as a reimbursable expense. With input from the A/E team, direct the GC/CM and his subs to track, review, coordinate and assemble information regarding the construction-related points.

Cost Consultant: The University will retain a separate Cost Consultant to provide two independent Cost Estimates and reconcile them with the team estimate.

AV/IT/Security: Cabling, connection and equipment design and specification tor the telephone, data and security system above those listed in the basic services section.

User Relocation: The university will address the logistics and cost of temporary relocation separately.

Hazard Abatement: The University will handle Hazard Abatement directly in the time period between user relocation and construction kick off.

Signage: If any new signage is required, we anticipate that the University will address this topic directly to provide signage to match that already existing in the building.

FEE PROPOSAL

Potential Additional Services:

Advanced Presentations: Renderings containing entourage, lighting effects or simulated materiality can be provided as an additional service.

Design Presentation Booklets, Presentation Models and associated Preview Meetings: Due to the size and scope of this project we do not anticipate having to produce any presentations booklets. If these are required, we are able to produce them at labor and material costs plus our standard markup.

Additional Meetings: Meetings beyond those delineated below will be charged on an hourly basis.

Space Management Cad Files: If the University requires,Space Management Cad Files in addition to the record drawings these can be provided as an additional service. Multiple Phase Project Delivery: We assume a single set will be produced for Permitting and Bidding. AV/IT/Security: If the University does not wish to provide cabling, connection and equipment design and specification tor the telephone, data and security system, or if the security scope increases, the design team can provide those as an additional service.

Fire Protection: As outlined in the Feasibility Study, the University will be considering an ‘Add Alternative’ to provide dry pipes for future installation of sprinklers throughout the proposed renovated space and a pump room connection to the City water supply. This work is not considered part of base services.

Lighting Consultant: Though we often specify lighting in-house, we have a lighting consultant who is available if and as the need arises. He is the chief lighting designer for the PMA and is a great resource.

Signage: If the University wishes, we can provide Signage services as an Additional Service.

Preservation Consultant: If required, we can retain a preservation consultant to advise on the project as an additional service.

Travel Outside Philadelphia by the architect is not anticipated, but would be undertaken as requested at standard current federal mileage reimbursement rates, plus our time in transit at our hourly rates.

Meetings: Based on the requirement for bi-weekly meetings, this proposal assumes a total of 40 meetings by the architect with the client throughout the duration of the project.

The meetings will be distributed by phase as follows:

Schematic Design: 6 total, including 4 progress meetings, 1 LEED, 1 presentation to CAG

Design Development: 11total, including 6 progress meetings, 1 cost estimate reconciliation meeting, 1 presentation to CAG, 1 presentation to CCA, 1 Trustee Approval presentation and 1 pre-meeting for the Trustee Approval meeting.

Construction Documentation: 9 total, 7 progress meetings, 1 cost reconciliation and 1 LEED meeting

Bidding/Permitting: 6 total, 4 progress meetings and 2 FF& E meetings

Construction: 8 total, which will cover regular progress meetings and 1 kick off meeting, 1 LEED meeting, 1 Punch List meeting.
