ADJOURN 1 Special City Council February 11, 2020 Agenda Number:2.1 To:Dave Callister, City Manager Prepared by:Amy Hanson, Fleet and Facilities Manager Reviewed by:Michael Thompson, Public Works Director Item:Fire Station Architectural Firm Interviews and Selection 1. Action Requested: Following interviews, staff is requesting selection of an architectural firm for the building/expansion and renovation of Fire Stations 2 and 3. 2. Background: In January 2019, the City contracted with CNH Architects to conduct a fire station study. The results of that study were presented to the Council on June 25, 2019. Based on the results of that study and other operational deficiencies with the stations, the Council directed staff to begin the architectural selection process. In November 2019, staff solicited Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) from eight architectural firms with experience in the design and construction of fire stations. On November 18, seven firms attended an optional pre-submittal meeting which was held at Fire Station 3. The City received a total of seven responses to the RFQ. On December 9, the Fire Department and facilities staff (Batalion Chief, Deputy Fire Chief, Public Works Director, Fleet/Facilities Manager) met to review the RFQs. CNH, Leo A Daly, and Wold Architects were selected to continue in the selection process. The City sent the three firms a Request for Proposals (RFPs) of which each firm submitted a proposal by December 30. Staff subsequently conducted interviews with all three firms on January 15. Those same staff members from public safety, administration, and facilities (City Manager, Public Safety Director, Public Works Director, Deputy Fire Chief, Battalion Chief , and Fleet/Facilities Manager) ranked the firms based on the submitted proposal and interview. Staff recommends the top two firms, CNH and Leo A Daly, participate in the Council interviews on February 11 in order to select the architect. The schedule is proposed as follows with each time slot generally accounting for 15 minutes of presentation and 20 minutes of questions: 5:00 - 5:05 pm - Staff introductions 5:05 - 5:40 pm - Leo A Daly 5:45 - 6:20 pm - CNH 6:25 - 6:45 pm - Council and staff discussion, selection of architectural group 2 Before the interviews, begin staff will provide potential questions to Council. However, there is no obligation to use them as it is assumed each council member will generate his/her own questions. Leo A Daly's estimated costs are as follows: Phase 1 (Schematic Design) $127,282.61 and Phase 2 (Design Development/Administration) $721,268.11 for a total cost of $855.550.72. Travel and reimbursable is included in each Phase. CNH Architect's estimated costs are as follows: Phase 1 (Schematic Design) $119,100 and Phase 2 (Final Construction) $674,900. Travel and reimbursable of $11,000.00 for a total estimated cost of $805,000.00. Staff recommends Council determine which architect it would like to proceed with, then staff will bring back an action item to the Council meeting on February 18 for official action and approval. Staff would then proceed to work with the selected architect in order to onboard a construction manager. A project timeline is attached which outlines the next steps. 3. Budget Impact: Project costs will be tracked through a capital project code for each fire station: FM 210014.001 for Fire Station 2 and FM 210014.002 for Fire Station 3. The estimated fees for an architect are listed above and these soft costs would be part of the overall project cost. 4.

In this plan, the facility should be refiective of the community, both the community of Plymouth and the community of flreflghters that work and live there. These communities will be integral in providing input into the design. These buildings should be fiexible and allow for the growth of the service in the future and be a sound flnancial investment of resources. These new spaces should refiect trends in design including crew health and wellness, and trends in training and equipment like air exchange systems or cleaning systems that mitigate health hazards. The LEO A DALY team is uniquely positioned to partner with you on the design of these facilities. Some of the highlights of our team for your consideration include: • Strong local knowledge and working history with leading Minnesota flreflghters and experience with 37 local jurisdictions. Our similar experience includes a facility at Forest Lake, a new 10-bay station for Bayport, and the renovation of Richfleld’s Fire Station No. 2. As well, our Minnesota team leads the flre facility planning to our other eleven offlce regions around the country, providing us a national perspective at best practices; • Experience in listening to and incorporating personnel ideas. Our team members bring extensive knowledge in best practices for municipal/flre/emergency facilities; however, we count on the expertise of your personnel to provide valuable insight into how the facility needs to perform for you. City staff provide critical input on vision, building performance, systems, maintenance and utilities, budget and schedule performance; • Passion, commitment and gratitude for those who serve our communities, as shown through our donation of all professional design and engineering for the Minnesota Fallen Fireflghters Memorial at the State Capitol Grounds; • An integrated team, the LEO A DALY team has access to all architecture and engineering disciplines within our offlce, making us well organized for rapid project service, seamless coordination and ready to mobilize. On behalf of LEO A DALY, we thank you for this opportunity. Should you have any questions related to our response, or need additional information please contact me. Sincerely, LEO A DALY Cindy McCleary, AIA, LEED AP Vice President, Managing Principal CAMcCleary@leoadaly.com 6 Minnesota Fallen Firefighters Memorial The Minnesota Fire Service foundation launched an initiative to move the Minnesota Fallen Fireflghter memorial sculpture from the baggage claim area of the MSP International Airport, to a new prominent position of honor on the State Capital grounds. The new memorial provides a place for families, friends and community members to honor the 227 Minnesota flreflghters that have died in the line of duty. From the original vision, through current day, the LEO A DALY team provided pro-bono design, project management and construction oversight services and renewal and maintenance services, in partnership with the Minnesota Fire Service Foundation. As an international architecture/engineering flrm with 104 years of local roots in Minnesota, we pay tribute to the men and women of our state who gave the ultimate sacriflce. Through gifts as such, we may “Serve those who serve others.” 7 FIRM DESCRIPTION LEO A DALY Firm Description Firm: LEO A DALY 730 Second Avenue South, Suite 1300 Minneapolis, MN 55402 612.338.8741 www.leoadaly.com Contact: Cindy McCleary, Vice President, Managing Principal CAMccleary@leoadaly.com 612.341.9588 Length of time in business: 104 years Ownership: Family-Owned Number of employees (MN): Our Minnesota offlce houses 89 employees among a total of over 800 employees company wide. Great design endures, sustains, and transforms, bringing both solutions and new quality of life experiences.” Leo A. Daly III Chairman and CEO “In my family, the community of firefighters is something that crosses multiple generations. My father-in-law is a Fire Chief of 25+ years, I am fortunate enough to design stations, and my son has hopes to become a firefighter one day just like his grandfather. This community is one that truly affects the greater society. What it means to be a part of that group is something we would not trade.” - Matthew Keenan, LEO A DALY Design Team Lead Serving those who serve others. Fire station and emergency response design is important to the LEO A DALY team. This is our way to contribute to those that serve our communities. Fire stations are landmarks within our cities and towns and help shape neighborhoods and the community fabric. By working to better the procedures and processes of the individual flreflghter and the department as a whole through building design, we become part of the flreflghting team by contributing to faster response times, creating efflcient and future minded facilities that help everyone get home at the end of the day. This is the type of design that allows us to better the community at large. 3 8 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LEO A DALY Professional Services An integrated design team We believe that successful projects require mutually engaged teams comprised of LEO A DALY’s design team members and your team. At the foundation are philosophies that all must hold dear; (1) an active desire to understand needs and perspectives, gained through dialogue and listening, (2) the confldence to share creative ideas that both flll a need and serve a mission, and (3) the ongoing commitment to the project and the team to meet the agreed upon outcomes. The LEO A DALY team approach is unique from many flrms providing similar services. We offer full architectural and engineering services by team members that have worked on municipal projects together. This team composition leads to an efflciency in our delivery of projects as we can spend more time on your project working on details, rather than on “negotiating, communicating and managing” many out-of-offlce subconsultants. This integrated delivery will beneflt you because our work effort is focused and efflcient. Our architecture team is experienced in flre station and emergency operations center design and will put our best practices in these project types forward into your project. Our engineering team has also completed the design of facility renovations of mission critical facilities that need to remain occupied while under construction. Working with Construction Managers Our team has extensive experience with the Construction Management process, having executed multiple successful projects, like the Bayport Fire Station, using this approach. We value our partnerships with Construction Managers to inform of real-time market conditions throughout design and to keep the scope in balance with market realities. We work throughout our projects, and closely with CM’s, to coordinate specs, details and construction assemblies. At the end of each phase we schedule Page-Turn reviews of the project documents with the CM and client representatives to catch any problems or clashes early in the design as possible to minimize change orders during construction. 4 9 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LEO A DALY Our design process at a glance BAYPORT FIRE DEPARTMENT, BAYPORT, MNBAYPORT FIRE DEPARTMENT, BAYPORT, MN UP 221 SF STORAGE155 205 SF STAIR/TRAINING156 686 SF TRAINING/STORAGE157 633 SF MEZZANINE158 OPEN TO BELOW 85'-0"LEVEL 1100'-0" T/TOPPING APPARATUSSTORAGE110'-8" T/ROOF APPARATUS122'-8" KEY PLAN REVISIONS FILE LOG ACTIVITY Draw Design Manager Check STAMP ©LEO A DALY Company 2013 Project No. BY 654321 A B C D E 654321 A B C D E 11/4/2014 3:07:58 PMBayport, MN City of Bayport MEZZANINE AND TRAININGTOWER A-101 BAYPORT FIRESTATION 023-10215-000 10-23-2014 Checker Author Designer RFB SCHEMATIC DESIGN NOT FORCONSTRUCTION 730 Second Avenue South, Suite 1100Minneapolis, MN 55402-2455 USATel 612-338-8741 Fax 612-338-4840 294 North 3rd Street,Bayport, MN 55003 10-23-2014 Print Name: Signature: Date: I hereby certify that this plan, specification, or reportwas prepared by me or under my direct supervisionand that I am a duly Licensed Architect under thelaws of the State of Minnesota.

PLANNING & LAYOUT: Using the vision developed and information gathered as a guide, our team begins preliminary building layouts and site interaction diagrams. Throughout this process, our team will investigate operational beneflts and costs. We will also be an advocate and perform public awareness to the community. TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS: After all options have been considered and narrowed down to a single concept. The construction documents, systems, materials, site, spacial relationships, and technical elements will be flnalized and detailed. Cost and owner review will occur at various intervals in this phase. CONSTRUCTION: Our Team remains an active partner throughout the bidding and construction process. We will work closely with the Construction Manager to ensure that the intent of the documents is captured in the flnal constructed facility. How we lead the design process Our design team uses a collaborative workshop approach that builds upon user input. We use a speciflc workshop strategy, called the charrette process, to deflne the project. The charrette is a collaborative design workshop engaging ALL critical project advisors around a common table. This includes key members of our design team and critical City participants, to put all issues and challenges forth, and to make a series of decisions that are vetted on-the-spot. This approach builds consensus, enables full access of the team to the City, and allows each participant to be an expert in their critical fleld. We have used this process on other city/emergency response facilities with great success. Throughout the design process we will use tools such as sketches, drawings, renderings (below), and virtual reality demonstrations (above) to allow you to visualize how pieces of the building flt together and what your new space can look and feel like. 5 10 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LEO A DALY Input from the building committee, stakeholders and residents Your time is extremely valuable. This design process will be shaped by your input while maintaining focus on high value conversations and respecting – not consuming – your time. The meetings we do hold will set the direction of this facility that will impact your service and community for many years to come. The timeline below is a demonstration of how often we plan to meet with your Core Team, flre personnel, city council, and community/public. We will deflne how often and the goals of the process with the Core Team in our discussion at the kickoff meeting, but we understand that you and your Council values that everyone have a variety of opportunities for input. We flnd in projects like this, that different people respond to different types of input strategies. Therefore, we will construct a process with a variety of means of input, consistent meetings with the Core Team, and periodic project updates to the City Council. Some engagement strategies we use are: Engage the Core Team • Project kickoff workshop for goal setting and planning • Regular hands-on workshops with the Core Team and key stakeholders • Regular meeting minutes to allow for conflrmation of information received/discussed • Regular meetings through construction to quickly address issues as they arise. Engage all fire service staff • Interviews at early and late stages during planning • Digital surveys to capture input/needs efflciently • Feedback sessions of design documents of department layout for comment and input. Engage the City Council • Critical point presentations to the City Council • Special sessions to answer questions and gather feedback. Engage the Plymouth community • Public meeting to collect public comments • Web-based presentations and posting of process documents • Public meeting to showcase project development. Public engagement was a goal that the City of Forest Lake held strongly during the design of their new flre/public safety facility. LEO A DALY assisted this client throughout all phases of design and construction and was an advocate and active partner.

To mitigate the risk of exceeding the budget, we will work closely with you throughout the project to deflne the project scope up front, and to right-size the project for your budget. We work throughout the project to maintain the project size and scope and to monitor market conditions. Our cost estimating partner will accurately estimate the project at key intervals, using all information to inform the project evolution. We will schedule Page-Turn reviews of the project documents with your Core Team at each phase and schedule internal quality assurance/ quality controls (QA/QC) reviews prior to each phase completion. We take seriously the monitoring of the project to mitigate known market conditions and will be transparent throughout. Maintaining the schedule Meeting the project schedule is a team effort that requires high attention and effective team-oriented planning and forecasting. After our discussion with you at the project kickoff, our team will deliver a project schedule for the full project. We will regularly engage the Core Team/CM to review the schedule progress and make proactive adjustments. Based on review of our current workload, we have conflrmed available capacity to accomplish the design documents in the required time with adequate reserve stafflng to cover any contingencies. In addition, the schedules of the individual team members have been reviewed to assure their immediate and continued availability. Quality assurance/quality control We are committed to providing quality in design and the flnished product. We integrate a belt-and- suspenders approach, consisting of internal technical reviews at monthly and end of phase milestones and a standardized national protocol manual that all of our offlces follow. We also utilize detailed project work plans, schedules and internal weekly design team meetings; standardized cross-checklist to assure best practices are achieved; use sophisticated software programs including a building modeling system that integrates team members changes in real time showing all potential systems clashes; hold technical advisor document quality control reviews at select intervals and at the end of each phase; and page-by-page end-of-phase reviews with the Core Team and Construction Manager for inclusion of review comments. Internal document pinups and page turns allow our team to catch potential clashes throughout the design process.

Brian Porter ROLE: Optional - AV/Technology/Communications FIRM: True North EXPERIENCE: 18 yrs 13 18 PREVIOUS PROJECT EXPERIENCE LEO A DALY Understanding your goals At over 40 and 30 years old, Plymouth’s Station 2 and Station 3 are showing their age. Years of deferred maintenance and repairs such as roof replacement and water inflltration are needing to be addressed. In addition, many best practices in flre station design weren’t in the original concepts and upgrades are needed to meet today’s standards. For Station 2, the City has decided to move forward on constructing a new station. The new station will be on the same site as the current Station 2 which should remain operational during construction and demolished when the new station is operational. Station 3 will expand to the east of the current footprint, and an extensive remodel will address water inflltration issues. The City would also like this station to remain operational during construction You are looking for a partner that has been through this process before, “gets” how flre stations operate, function and support flreflghters, and is knowledgeable of modern trends/NFPA requirements. Your goals include: • Integrating best practices in building function, layout, incorporating in-station training opportunities and maximizing every space possible; • Integrating safety, wellness and NFPA design standards in flre station design; • Exhibiting a warm, welcoming presence in the community; • Planning for fiexibility to address future uses, apparatus upgrades, and responding to changes in your service model strategy in the future. Project Objectives and Priorities Previous project experience • Integrate apparatus bay HVAC systems to achieve CO2 monitoring, exhaust, air exchange and consider heating systems speciflc to flre stations. For example, in-slab radiant heating minimizes overhead heat on apparatus paint, heats the space where the flreflghters are, and melts snow which can damage vehicles; • Develop training components into the design solution which can be done more cost effectively at initial design and can keep flreflghters in the jurisdiction during some training; • Incorporate innovative efflciencies such as in-fioor vehicle water refllling / recharging; • Layout appropriate for shifts in gender diversity, including separation at dorms, lockers, showers and other spaces to better prepare for the future; • Proper planning and site organization at the early stage, can be best able to future-proof the design by planning for reasonable expansion. Designing to maximize your investment Fire facilities require consistent predictable operation. Not only to protect the assets of cities (flre apparatus is typically the largest vehicle expense) and to support efflcient response but also to prepare flreflghters for active service. The layout and sequence of physical spaces are critical to achieve ease in maintenance, effective and safe response times, separate “clean” and “dirty” activities, to ensure the natural fiow of movement to a vehicle and to enable the effective on-site training, when able, to prepare and respond efflciently. Best practices include: • Develop apparatus bay size to accommodate contemporary vehicles to meet OSHA an NFPA requirements for working space around rigs, and provide options for protecting non-apparatus; • Establish backup generation, power and lighting to meet NFPA, FEMA and OSHA; 14 19 PREVIOUS PROJECT EXPERIENCE LEO A DALY Integrative training Fire facilities are a critical investment to many departments and should be considered a tool in the tool belt for the delivery of their service and the preparation of their flreflghters. As designers we will never have to make that critical decision under extreme conditions that our flreflghters do. However, we do design our facilities for human experiences, so in understanding your practice, it enables us to advance ours by providing you a thoughtful, effective environment catering to how you deliver service. An important strategy to service success is an enhanced facility that meets some of your advanced needs for training. Integrative training does not have to be expensive; but it does need to be closely considered. There is no better time to consider how to maximize your building investment than in planning and eventually design. Simple adjacencies or the integration of simple components, such as a breeching door or a rappelling hook can make a routine space into a compliment to your training program. A past client of ours and Fire Chief said it best, “train as you would respond”, and we have taken this philosophy to heart. The philosophy being, the more realistic you can make a training activity, the more innate the response becomes and the more your team can develop your standards. The more speciflc our conversations can be about your unique hazards, the more relevant the integrative training your building can support. Examples of training structures that can be included throughout the building ROOF VENTILATION TRAINING • Simulated roof installed at mezzanine level for Roof Ventilation Training Mezzanine filled with specific types of training opportunities: • Three variations of windows for rescue/ladder training • Smoke machine integrated into space for Limited Visibility Training • Movable partitions allow for situational training • Separate training sprinkler heads and standpipe system for sprinkler training • Framed openings for single and double door Forcible Entry/Breaching practice MEZZANINE TRAINING AREACAGED LADDER/BALCONY CONFINED SPACE TRAINING • Two caged ladders and an upper level balcony allow firefighters to train for multiple situations • 18” and 30” pipes installed horizontally and vertically for Confined Space Training STAIRWELL • Separate Fire Department Connection/Standpipe for hose training in stairwell • Smoke machine integrated into space for Limited Visibility Training 15 20 PREVIOUS PROJECT EXPERIENCE LEO A DALY DECOMPRESSION AREA • Includes: Dormitory, Exercise, Firefighter personal space. • Quiet / break away spaces for contemplation or work out spaces for firefighter physical/mental wellness. • Includes: Meeting, Dayroom, Kitchen, Administration, Staff Restrooms and Showers. • Completely separated from Hot Zone with independent HVAC and does not open directly into the hot zone. TRANSITION (WARM) ZONE • Includes: Public Entrance and Corridors, Public Restrooms, Dispatch, Department History and Memorabilia. • Creates a physical separation between the Hot and Cold Zones. HOT ZONE (NEGATIVE PRESSURE) • Includes: Apparatus Bays and Training Areas. • Location of contaminants, carcinogens, and vehicle exhaust. Completely separated from Cold Zone with independent HVAC systems. • Neg. Pressure - no air is pulled into other facility. POSITIVE PRESSURE ZONE • Includes: Turn-out Gear Room • HVAC system creates a positive pressure to ensure that exhaust and other contaminants from within the apparatus bay do not enter and settle on the turn-out gear. DECONTAMINATION AREA • Includes: Decontamination Showers, Laundry, SCBA Room and Compressor Area and Restrooms • Firefighters clean off contaminants within this zone so they are not brought into the cold zone. • Separate spaces for Compressors (noise issues) and SCBA filling ensures no cross contamination between spaces. SECURED STORAGE • Includes: Medical Equipment and Medication Storage • Secured and sealed room for limited access only. HOT ZONE COLD ZONE COLD ZONE Designing for wellness and healthy environments Our flrm’s design principals for flre station design use a wholistic approach for personal wellness to create spaces that impact and positively affect the human behavioral response. Through our design process we will gather input from you on how the spaces will serve the work of the day. This process allows the architecture and engineering to balance the workplace and minimize the physiological and psychological impacts within the space. We recognize that certain colors, noises, smells, and spatial adjacencies are proven to raise cortisol, already high when one is under stress. The high cortisol impacts one’s ability to reason, conduct orderly logical sequences, and interact with others. Creating sleep friendly environments in addition to all the technical spaces needed is something that will be balanced with the user in mind. In addition, the overall facility will be designed to minimize cross contamination from flreflghters, PPE and equipment returning from an IDLH flre environment. Bay areas = Hot Zone, the design will create a trafflc fiow from Hot to Cold Zone (dorms, day room and offlce space). The transition area (warm zone) will include DECON for equipment, PPE and staff, i.e. showers, extractors, gear drying, etc., preventing contaminated staff entering the cold zone. Additionally, air exchange systems will be used preventing contaminated air from entering the cold zone, i.e. higher pressure in the cold zone. Consideration when planning a healthy environment 16 21 PREVIOUS PROJECT EXPERIENCE LEO A DALY Your program and fiow The LEO A DALY team has designed facilities that actively mitigate potential health and wellness issues. Our goal is to design a healthy workplace environment that includes both current and future apparatus and technology trends, as well as considerations to cancer, cardiac and emotional trauma that flreflghters face daily. Creating areas for team building and camaraderie, places for wellness and exercise are all ways we focus on those inside the building. Knowing there are different users of the building and discussing how each user will fiow through the building is critical to our design process. Administrative staff interact with flreflghter staff and the public differently than Captains or paid-on call staff. Duty crew staff will respond quite differently than a paid-on call flreflghter. Knowing these type of service models may or will change over time greatly informs the fiow and efflciency of each user over the course of the building’s history. Planning to maximize your site and building Analyzing different users of the building as to how they will fiow through the building is critical to our design process. Administrative staff interact with flreflghter staff and the public differently than Captains or paid-on call staff. Duty crew staff will respond quite differently than a paid-on call flreflghter. Knowing these type of service models may or will change over time greatly informs the fiow and efflciency of each user over the course of the building’s history. 17 22 LEO A DALY Bayport’s Fire Department was located in a 6,630 SF facility built in the 1940’s that no longer met the needs of the community. The building didn’t provide adequate space for modern apparatus or meet current design principals for health safety and training. Designed by LEO A DALY, the new 18,150 SF Bayport Fire Hall is one-story plus mezzanine with flve double-deep apparatus bays to accommodate pull-through capability with ten bay doors. The design accommodates safety needs and the ability to expand and evolve over time as service needs evolve. Planning for the future Bayport’s calls have doubled in the last ten years, and while all of their flreflghters are currently paid on-call, they anticipate they will need to add full-time service staff in the future. The integration of dorms, residential areas as well as gender- neutral features assist this evolution. The building also includes new offlces and storage, expansion space for apparatus and gear, equipment storage, laundry and mechanical shop.

Not only residential houses and mid rise facilities, but prairies, the river, and the most challenging, the Anderson Windows and the Xcel Energy Power Plant. Training for response to these sites require conflned space training, rappelling, dark space searches, caged ladder training and a variety of other unique training opportunities. To accommodate, training features include a stair tower with repelling capabilities, rescue balcony, conflned space shaft, breaching doors and windows, roof venting, smoke mezzanine, and caged ladder which provide realistic simulation of the hazardous situations faced by flreflghters on a regular basis. Community The Bayport Fire Department has over 125 years of history, and several families have served for three or four generations. There is a deep connection to those who have served before and the pride and tradition carries on. The design includes an honor wall showcasing the equipment, articles, and the many faces of years prior. Painted apparatus-red with checker plate backer, this feature created the rotating display of the decades of flre helmets, extinguishers, photos and uniforms that represented their history and families. This concept became the guiding force in the overall design to honor the sense of pride and camaraderie, with the red, checker plate and historical elements repeating throughout the facility. Relevant to Plymouth • Warm, welcoming architecture with concealed security measures; • Integrated health, wellness and training features into the building design, i.e., decontamination and fltness areas • Adequate storage for apparatus bay needs, and streamlined support spaces (linen / paper storage, washer/dryer) for offlce / day space needs; • Accommodate gender equity and support both male and female flreflghters; • Community engagement; • Plans for future needs, i.e., potential change to include full-time staff. 19 24 LEO A DALY The City of Forest Lake commissioned LEO A DALY to design a new 65,000 SF municipal service center refiecting their community. Built as a place of gathering, a civic center, and a home, the building pulls infiuence from the quiet lakeshore of conservative cabin homes, the central park on the lake, and the humble surrounding buildings. The design captures those qualities with the front entrance of the facility mimicking a front porch where civic conversation sparks. The gathering spaces for flreflghters focus on devoting the dayroom and training room to camaraderie while integrating essential training space to build trust. Integral training includes: stair, breaching doors, balcony, smoke room, conflned space, and rappelling as well as exterior training spaces. The facility includes administrative offlces for municipal staff, flre/dispatch/training spaces, public safety department and the emergency operations center. The public safety facility accommodates full law enforcement operations over two fioors including squad operations, investigations, detention, secured squad parking, K-9, and fltness and training spaces. Planning for the future Important in furthering a growing community, the city of Forest Lake had need to plan for the future rather than simply accommodate the present. As key portion of a city redevelopment process, the design incorporates a newly constructed, operationally efflcient flre station with state-of- the-art amenities including seven tandem drive-through bays, Owner City of Forest Lake Contact Rick Peterson, Director of Public Safety (651) 209-9725 Rick.peterson@ci.forest-lake.mn.us Size 68,198 SF Cost $19,000,000 Scope Architecture; Interior Design; Engineering; Programming; Landscape Architecture Completion Date 2014 City of Forest Lake City Center, New City Hall, and Public Safety Facility Forest Lake, Minnesota 20 25 LEO A DALY quick connects for recharge at each bay, in-fioor heat, energy efflcient systems, and door glass. Highly successful in careful planning and sizing of spaces and needs, this project enables the service to grow while not overbuilding in the present. The project resulted in a facility sized for efflciency $2M under budget. We separated vehicle spaces, on- call trafflc routes and apparatus routes for safety and integrated best practices into HVAC systems separating clean and dirty. Integrated training opportunities Alongside sustainability goals and desire for high performing materials, integrated training needs for the flre station included a training stair with balcony as well as breaching doors and windows. We selected an extremely high performing roof membrane of which signiflcantly reduces urban heat island effect and reduces energy loads of the building to meet sustainability goals. To include slip resistance, we integrated protection devices and guards to plan roof spaces and materials differently around training towers. Other integrated on-site training features include hose tower to support ladder training, breaching from rooftop, stair training, and storage garage to support conflned space and limited- visibility maze training. Community Intended as a community space, the design process allowed multiple opportunities for meaningful public engagement at critical stages. Digital surveys, public meetings, web-based presentations and uploads, and public project development all allowed for public access to the process for transparent priority and ability to input. Relevant to Plymouth • Warm, welcoming architecture with concealed security measures; • Integrated health, wellness and training features into the building design, i.e., decontamination and fltness areas • Adequate storage for apparatus bay needs, and streamlined support spaces (linen / paper storage, washer/dryer) for offlce / day space needs; • Accommodate gender equity and support both male and female flreflghters; • Community engagement; • Plans for future needs, i.e., potential change to include full-time staff. 21 26 LEO A DALY City of Richfleld Fire Station No. 2, constructed in 1963, received only minor cosmetic improvements over the years despite the flre service changing signiflcantly in the time passed. To bring the facility up to code, the city hired LEO A DALY to update the building achieving goals of gender equity, reduced energy usage, and maximized operational efflciency. In addition, the Richfleld Community Development department, who has organized the revitalization of the Penn Avenue Corridor that the station resides on, encouraged the station to update the exterior facade on the Penn side of the building. While remaining operational during construction, the scope of this project encompasses 5,710 SF. The renovation design includes a complete reconflguration of the interior, without expansion. This provides dedicated sleeping rooms to replace a one-room dorm and reconflguration of toilets, showers, changing rooms, and lockers to achieve gender parity accommodating a modern day flre service team of men and women. Dedicated fltness space replaces free weights previously in the dorm allowing for flreflghters to maintain critical skills and strength through integrated training and updated equipment of which has increased in size and technology over time.

The renovation also includes sustainable elements such as an energy efflcient water heater, windows, and rooftop equipment to maximize building efflciency as well. A small expansion included a new vestibule lobby and offlce providing a refreshed image of the flre service to the Penn Avenue Corridor, achieving the aesthetic, code, and energy goals of the Richfleld Community Development department. LEO A DALY provided a pre-design study, architectural design, interior design, and structural, mechanical and electrical engineering services. Relevant to Plymouth • Facility renovation (bunk rooms, changing rooms, shower and locker) to accommodate gender equity and support both male and female flreflghters; • Space for fltness equipment; • Reduced energy costs, update to mechanical and electrical systems; • Adequate storage for apparatus bay needs, and streamlined support spaces (linen / paper storage, washer/dryer) for offlce / day space needs; • Front exterior upgrade, apparatus doors and entry vestibule to accommodate code, energy goals, and Penn Avenue corridor recommendations. 23 28 LEO A DALY Fire Station No. 1 is the City of Plantation’s oldest flre station. The existing single story flre station was in need of replacement to accommodate increased stafflng and operational needs. The City proposed to demolish the existing flre station and replace it with a new two-story flre station equipped with an emergency generator. As the site will remain operational during the course of construction, the design effort took into account placing the new building and vehicle circulation in ways that would not encumber existing service response. A modular building for staff operations as well as canopy style vehicle storage was utilized during construction. The new building concept streamlines operations by separating clear and dirty work fiows and moving toward a racetrack arrangement to maintain the health of flreflghters when coming into shift or returning from response. As a Mission Critical, Category 5 facility in a FEMA zone, remaining operational during construction was a must. In addition to flre and EMS calls, this station services as the local emergency operation center during storms, ocean surges, high-force winds and extreme fiooding. Additionally, the site is the location of the regional cell tower and power generation must remain protected and functional during construction. These challenges infiuenced the flnal design strategy and phased construction.

Prior to the flnal design, LEO A DALY began review of their existing police facility and requirements to phase the construction while still allowing for standard operations to occur. After extensive review of use, efflciency, and cost, the city determined a new expansion and remodel to existing city and flre hall appropriate based on LEO A DALY’s flndings By combining these operations into a single facility, the city would see beneflt and returns on cost of operation. Doing so created challenges regarding PHASING as both the city hall and flre hall must remain operational during construction. Working closely with the city prior to construction, LEO A DALY has ensured the construction documents include an understandable and appropriate phasing plan to alleviate confusion and/or added costs during construction. This phasing plan begins with utility and service re-routes, then construction of the new shell and interior spaces, followed by relocating existing flber optic into a new network/ IT room as the future brains of the city. Lastly, select remodeling within the existing City Hall and Fire Hall areas upgrades and provides better joint services between the departmental spaces. The results of these proper phasing discussions during design will pay dividends on the back end and to the project’s bottom line.

Construction phasing in a high trafflc space, or one with a sensitive occupancy requires careful planning and coordination with the functional program. When planning the renovation of the Richfield Fire and Plantation Fire facilities, the LEO A DALY team analyzed flreflghter, vehicle, equipment and people fiow, vehicle and equipment dimensions and maneuverability, and the overall life safety plans to ensure that not only were the temporary control provisions adequate for “business as usual” in the operating environment, but that flreflghter safety was not compromised. Special attention was paid to construction barrier speciflcations, timing of the work, clearances of new and temporary walls, and maintaining critical infrastructure at all times. Another recently-completed project is the Hennepin County Behavioral Health Center, a 24/7 behavioral health living unit with vulnerable populations. The County wished to renovate and expand to three nursing, offlce and behavioral health residential living units within a functioning Public Health facility. The program included a substance abuse residential and nursing unit, a new advanced Sobering Center unit and a new 16-bed crisis stabilization unit. The facility construction and infrastructure ranged from 1920’s though 1980’s era posing signiflcant challenges. The facility required a full gut and remodel of the HVAC, security and flre suppressions systems, exterior wall and window forensics and replacements, and signiflcant fioor and roof structural repairs/ restructuring while remaining operational and serving these vulnerable populations. Multi-phase project planning Expanding and building new emergency response infrastructure is something that often occurs while existing operations need to remain functional. Working closely with the Plymouth Fire Department and the City, we will take the time to understand early how the existing systems operate today and what needs to remain in use. Together we will create plans how phasing of the construction may occur with minimal disruption to the City’s ability to provide adequate and safe response times to the community. Phasing and construction sequencing decisions are a multi-layered process involving building systems, scheduling, safety, security and cost. The importance of these considerations is amplifled when continuous occupancy and the unexpected nature of emergency calls are layered into the decision making. We can minimize flreflghter and administration frustration with early and thorough planning. The engineers of LEO A DALY have had signiflcant recent experience with building system modernizations and will work with you to flnd a solution that flts your process. The new Fire Station #2 is planned to be constructed on the site of the current station and it is required for the existing station to remain open. A facilities communication plan is essential in occupied construction sites such as these to ensure that both the ingress and egress of apparatus and flreflghters s not hindered. Compiling this plan should occur in tandem with and inform the development of the construction sequencing and is a collaborative effort between the design team, construction manager and the flre department. By creating this plan, we ensure the response time to the community does not change while keeping the flreflghters who work within these spaces safe throughout construction. 27 32 FEE LEO A DALYLEO A DALY Fee LEO A DALY’s fee is based upon and assumption of a single project effort anticipating a construction value of $9,280,000 for Station #2 and $4,861,550 for Station #3, for a total combined construction value of $14,141,550. For the scope indicated in the RFP, we propose a total fee of 6% of construction value. Therefore, the fee distribution is as follows: Phase 1 Schematic Design $127,282.61 • Travel & Reimbursables included Phase 2 Design Development - Administration $721,268.11 • Travel & Reimbursables included Total Combined Phase 1 & 2 $855,550.72* * If the City decides that extensive data/voice cabling, optical flber and audio/video should be added to the scope of the project, True North Consulting Group is an available partner to our team. LEO A DALY has a close working relationship with TNCG and can add their services as necessary. In addition, if waterprooflng requires more extensive inspection and mitigation design, Inspec is a partner we have frequently collaborated with and we can include their additional services if necessary. 2828 33 34 PLANNING ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING INTERIORS leoadaly.com Cindy McCleary CAMccleary@leoadaly.com 612.341.9588 730 Second Avenue South Suite 1300 Minneapolis, MN 55402 612.338.8741 35 City of Plymouth Fire Station 2 and 3 February 11, 2020 36 TEAM Matthew Keenan Project Designer LEO A DALY Ahmet Senyurekli Structural Engineer LEO A DALY Adam Rohde Senior Mechanical Engineer LEO A DALY Virginia Pappas Interior Designer LEO A DALY Zac Essig Civil Engineer LEO A DALY Jesse Symynkywicz Landscape Architect DAMON FARBER Jack Elliot Electrical Engineer LEO A DALY Brian Porter Optional - AV/Technology/Security True North Consulting Leadership Design Team Michelle Watanabe Architect LEO A DALY Doug Holmberg Cost Estimator PPM Dave Campbell Optional - Roof/Waterproofing Inspec Cindy McCleary Principal in Charge Melisa Rodriguez Fire Protection Engineer Todd LaVold Project Manager Matthew Keenan Project Lead/QC 37 TEAM Cindy McCleary Principal in Charge Melisa Rodriguez Fire Protection Engineer Todd LaVold Project Manager Matthew Keenan Project Lead/QC 38 WE GET FIRE STATIONS 39 SPECIALIZED DESIGN TO IMPROVE HEALTH • Zones • Codes DECOMPRESSION AREA • Includes: Dormitory, Exercise, Firefighter personal space. • Quiet / break away spaces for contemplation or work out spaces for firefighter physical/mental wellness. • Includes: Meeting, Dayroom, Kitchen, Administration, Staff Restrooms and Showers. • Completely separated from Hot Zone with independent HVAC and does not open directly into the hot zone.

COMPOSITION OF FIRM Architects 6 Interior Designer 1 Designers 4 Administrative Support 2 Sustainable design is an integral part of our practice. A majority of our professional staff has LEED Accreditation and our office designed the first Green Globe projects in Minnesota. This is a third party national verification system as administered by the Green Building Initiative. 59 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 3 3 The following narrative describes the professional services that is the basis for CNH Architects’ work plan to ensure a very successful project. While the descriptions cover the high-level steps important for a project of this type, CNH has found that ultimately the day-to-day focus on the small but critical detail level tasks that underpin the high level goals are what leads to the success of our past fire station projects and our very satisfied clients. Although the following narrative does not generally list this level of attention to detail, rest assured that CNH’s team is committed to providing the City of Plymouth with this same focus which has been so effective in our past fire station facilities. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, EDUCATION, AND CITY COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS Throughout the project, CNH Architects will work with the Building Design Committee to develop a plan for communicating the different milestones of the two fire stations to the City Council, broader stakeholders and the general public. This communications plan will lay out the timing for each update, format of presentation, and the intended audience. CNH will prepare graphical materials, drawings and realistic visualizations for meetings and publications and will assist City staff in presenting the project at open houses, Council meetings, and fire department presentations. We are experienced in responding to design questions from officials as well as engaging and educating the public in the value of the fire station elements. As the project design develops, we have found that the use of three-dimensional (3-D) video tours in addition to fixed renderings and project plans provides for the most realistic communication of the project to the viewer. PROJECT KICKOFF The project will begin with a detailed kickoff meeting to review the schematic plans CNH developed in the earlier study and discuss the Fire Department’s goals for these two facilities as well as gather input from any new building committee members. We will focus in on the detailed needs and expectations within the building, gathering information developed to this point as well expanding into the level of detail needed as we enter the design development phase. Finally, Quinn Hutson, the Principal Architect on the public safety team for your project, will lead the development of the project delivery planning documents: revising templates for workflow/schedule, design budget, construction budget, and setting up communication systems including a project collaboration website specific to this project. This kickoff process is critical to create a cooperative, engaging tone and finalize the expectations that will guide the rest of the project. SCHEMATIC DESIGN Once the design data and goals have been updated, the earlier schematic designs we created for each station will be reviewed and refined. Throughout this updating of the schematic design, the CNH team will continue to evaluate the many key elements in fire station design starting with the critical concern for firefighter health and wellness. We will share strategies we have developed and incorporated in other fire stations to reduce exposures to harmful chemicals, whether originating in the station or brought back from emergency calls. We have analyzed national studies and collaborated with regional experts to develop a comprehensive approach to toxin reduction in all our fire station buildings. CNH presented our recommendations to attendees at recent Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Conventions and will use this knowledge to review and upgrade your current concept plans to include recommended techniques along with discussing expanded strategies to maximize firefighter toxin reduction. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 60 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 34 After the concept plans for the stations are updated, CNH will develop multiple exterior image concept options for each station. We will incorporate appealing aesthetics, durable materials, clarity in public versus firefighter entrances, as well as a focus on sustainability in the building envelope. CNH will use high quality 3-D video tours along with fixed renderings to explore each visual option to assist the Building Committee in evaluating and selecting the most appropriate fire station aesthetics for both the new Station 2 as well as the remodeling of Station 3. With input from the Building Committee, and other stakeholders, a single preferred schematic design concept for each fire station will be identified. This selected concept design will be further adjusted based on the schematic design review feedback prior to further design development. Finally, the two stations will be evaluated by our cost consultant and the selected construction manager to ensure that all projects meet the budget goals. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT In this phase, we will work with the Building Committee to create the interior elements, texture and image of the two buildings. CNH Architects will emphasize the use of the 3-D imaging capabilities of our Revit Building Information Modeling (BIM) software to develop 3-D tours and renderings of the design options being considered, exploring different options together to find the right approach for each building. We will review and select materials and product choices, as well as develop interior architectural design elements such as millwork, signage, and specialty equipment to be incorporated in the facilities. Early in this phase we will discuss overall sustainability opportunities and set goals with the City that are appropriate for these projects. CNH will discuss possible goals for daylighting, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and low-maintenance landscaping, among other potential topics. This is also a busy time for mechanical and electrical design as the engineering team will fine tune mechanical and electrical system options, reviewing the best fit for each station. They will evaluate system upgrades or replacements for Station 3 and the best new approaches for Station 2 as an all new facility. Operational details will be discussed and information gathered on special systems within the fire stations such as any pre-emption controls, ramped lighting systems, turnout gear room ventilation, tailpipe exhaust systems, CO monitoring and other detail options specific to fire station design. During this phase we will also work with a custom spreadsheet that CNH Architects has developed to gather specific data on specialized equipment and systems that the Department will be bringing to or including in the new fire station. This spreadsheet will help navigate the multitude of options available, providing the data that our team needs to match the building systems to the specialized equipment. During design development, the firefighter training feature goals will be visited, training features will be selected and positioned within the design with cost, operational impacts for training and response, and multi-use of space will all be considered. We will lead a review of the many training elements developed for stations around the country, whether comprehensive elements such as those incorporated in the Roseville and Lino Lakes Fire Stations or simple props, like using an existing stairwell or corner of an apparatus bay. An outline specification will be produced indicating the material, brand, systems and other product information that has been determined during this phase. The drawing and specification information created during this phase will be regularly passed on to the cost estimating team at the construction manager’s office, allowing them to quickly provide a more detailed cost estimate at the completion of the design development phase. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 61 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 3 5 CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS Once the detailed design has been established, CNH Architects and our engineers assemble the drawings, specifications, schedules, and details that make up the construction documents. We take pride in developing very comprehensive construction documents with complete, clear information describing the systems and elements of the building to minimize contractor questions and uncertainty in bidding. Providing comprehensive documents also ensures the use of building detailing that has been shown to provide durability and value for past fire station and other public project designs. The fire station will be highly modeled in 3-D using Revit BIM software. In addition to the main architectural BIM model, all the engineering disciplines also model their designs in Revit. This allows us to link them all together to create a comprehensive model from design development through construction document phases. The engineering consultants are required to build all elements as 3-D objects, including smaller items such as light fixtures, power outlets, plumbing faucets, HVAC grilles and structural trussing and braces. This level of detail allows for a high level of coordination between disciplines, ensures clearances for all trades, and validates visual elements of the design. In addition, CNH Architects will conduct collision detection and create visual cuts throughout the combined Revit model, including structure, mechanical, and electrical models near the completion of the project construction documents to locate and eliminate overlapping or incorrectly located building elements. This final quality control step has shown to resolve many potential coordination items that would have been invisible in two-dimensional (2-D) drafting. Quality control during this phase will also include a final rechecking of the many building codes, accessibility requirements, NFPA and other standards that are applicable to the fire station design as well as a review of client goals and decisions that have been documented during previous phases of the project. As in all previous phases, CNH Architects will assist the construction manager to update the cost estimate will be d a final time prior to completion of the construction document phase, adjusting for changes in systems, quantities, material costs or other bidding environment issues. As in all previous phases, CNH Architects will assist the construction manager to update the cost estimate will be d a final time prior to completion of the construction document phase, adjusting for changes in systems, quantities, material costs or other bidding environment issues. BIDDING During this phase, CNH Architects and our design team will support the Construction Manager to administer the bidding and help maintain a smooth process. We will assist the City in advertising the project both for legal requirements and for maximizing bidder awareness. CNH and our team will be available to address contractors’ questions as they arise, will attend a pre-bid conference, and will write and distribute addenda to clarify bidding questions and to approve submitted substitutions where appropriate. CNH Architects will assist in the Construction Manager in their process of the opening of bids and evaluating the bid results. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 62 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 36 CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION We feel the success of any project depends on staying on top of the process from early planning through construction. Where many firms lose interest in a project after the building is designed and drawings complete, CNH has found that much of the success of the project depends on working closely with the Construction Manager to assist in addressing the issues that arise during construction, making sure the client is represented and protected. Unlike many firms, CNH Architects and our engineering team provides the administration of the contract with the same personnel that designed the project. We feel these architects and engineers are the only ones who understand not only what is on the construction documents, but why the building was designed or detailed that way to begin with. This maintains continuity throughout the process, reducing the potential for construction changes that negatively impact the client goals or the integrity of the building systems. The Principal / Project Architect and other team members will regularly review the construction at each site to determine progress, conformance to the construction documents and to discuss upcoming construction all with the goal of a smooth, efficient construction process that is done professionally and correctly. We strive to work in a collaborative approach with the Construction Manager and prime contractors, valuing the knowledge and experience of the many skilled trades people on site. However, our primary objective will be to represent the City of Plymouth and the Fire Department, looking out for your best interests including the quality, conformance and timeliness of the construction. For this project we would schedule a weekly construction observation for the architectural team supplemented by the appropriate engineers as relevant trades are on site so that we can provide quick response to questions and very regularly review progress schedules to keep on top of the important project timeline. These construction observations will be documented with detailed reports including pictures of progress and items requiring correction. Other construction administration services will include providing the document and Information flow necessary for this phase of the project. This will include answers to RFI’s, writing supplemental information documents, shop drawings and other submittal review, writing change orders, and reviewing contractor applications for payment. CNH Architects will provide a web-based project collaboration website for the transmittal, storage and coordination of all information and document flows during the construction administration phase. This simple to use website has shown itself to be very helpful as a not only a transmission tool, but as an organized repository for the project information for all relevant project members. As the construction process comes to an end, CNH Architects will provide preliminary and then final punchlists of incomplete, non-conforming or damaged items for the contractor to address. Since the fire stations will transition to operations upon substantial completion, we will particularly focus on preliminary review and punchlist generation and contractor attention to these details as each area of the project approaches the last stages so that the fire department has as little disruption as possible during their ramping up and transition to live operations. After project completion, CNH Architects considers follow-up and being available for questions a regular part of our normal practice. We feel a large reason for our numerous repeat clients is the service we provide after the project is finished and occupied. Whether it is a problem that has developed that needs to be reviewed or just helpful advice on adding building systems, we make ourselves available to help. This post-occupancy contact with our buildings has also given us a great insight into what is performing well over time and what is not, which is information that allows us to provide our clients with the detailed information to provide the best design choices possible. PROJECT COLLABORATION WEBSITE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 63 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 3 7 DESIGN TO REDUCE TOXIN EXPOSURE CNH Architects and our design team are also keenly aware of the growing data on firefighter health concerns. We will share strategies we have developed and incorporated in other fire stations to reduce exposures to harmful chemicals, whether originating in the station or brought back from emergency calls. We have analyzed national studies and collaborated with regional experts to develop a comprehensive approach to toxin reduction in all our fire station buildings. CNH presented our recommendations at an attendee workshop at previous Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Conventions. The floor plan diagrams below show one of the aspects we evaluate in new or remodeled fire stations. Also of prime importance is the careful design of the HVAC systems to prevent cross-contamination between zones as well as ramped exhaust from “Hot” zones and positive pressure in “Cold” zones. While carcinogen reduction is critical, we will also focus on other protective measures to improve firefighter health and safety. These including minimizing the negative impacts of the “startle response” caused by sudden alarm signals. To combat this, we recommend designing the station with ramped lighting and soft-start alerting tone paging systems to reduce heart rate spikes and long-term hearing impacts. CNH will also incorporate a fitness area, including both strength training and cardiovascular health equipment for improved firefighter physical conditioning. Hot - High Hazard Zone Transition - Moderate Hazard Zone Cold - Low Hazard Zone SECOND FLOOR CONCEPT PLAN - ZONING FIRST FLOOR CONCEPT PLAN - ZONING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 64 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 38 OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY THROUGH DESIGN Operational efficiency can take many forms, most of which can be directly impacted by the building design. CNH Architects and our design team offer significant expertise to maximize the efficiency potential of each new fire station. Some of these are items commonly associated with operational efficiency such as energy conservation and lifecycle cost analysis, while others unique to our project team address firefighter training opportunities or elements that specifically address recruiting and retention of quality firefighters. Because a municipal facility represents the investment of tax dollars, CNH Architects understands the importance of providing a design that will provide value in as many ways as possible and for many decades to come. INCORPORATION OF FIRE SERVICES TRAINING INTO FACILITY Designing fire training opportunities into fire stations is a concept that has been adopted by fire department leaders and architects. This “new generation” of fire stations are functional, affordable, durable, sustainable and educational. Incorporating on-site fire training into the new facility is a customized approach developed in conjunction with the building design and project budget. The first step is to complete a training Needs Assessment with the department training committee and potentially include other vested organizations such as law enforcement and local colleges. There are many benefits to providing training feature opportunities within the design of a fire station building. These include reduced external training costs, increased training availability, maintaining fire fighter availability for calls during training sessions instead of leaving the service area, as well as improve fire fighter recruiting for the department. Our recent fire stations have included training capabilities allowing fire fighters to work on 11 of the 12 Fire Fighter I certification requirements, essentially everything except for live burns. Many facilities also include some advanced training features as well. Some of the typical items often included are: • Ladder evolutions, both at windows and balconies • Rescue scenarios • Confined space drills • Stairway hose advancement • Floor breach exercises • Rappelling and tripod exercises PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TRAINING FEATURES 65 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 3 9 After obtaining this information, the team will establish a priority list of training elements and look for opportunities both interior and exterior. At a minimum, the department should adopt a “Basic Training” mentality and consider the following fundamentals: • Ground Ladder Training / Evolutions • Confined Space Rescue • Hose Advancement / Stairwell Evolutions • Search + Rescue • Rappelling • Salvage Operations • High Angle Rescue • Fire Attack • Elevators • Fire Suppression • Search Line Survival Training Incorporation of training features into the building and site has shown to provide significant cost, staffing and training efficiencies to past clients in several ways. First, this approach allows firefighters to update their fire training experience while remaining at the station and available to respond to emergency calls. There are no fees to train at other off-site locations and firefighter time is saved by not traveling away from the Fire House. As an example, the Roseville Fire Station incorporated training elements to allow for recertification on 11 of the 12 required Firefighter I skills, everything except live burns. PLANNING FOR A CHANGING FIRE DEPARTMENT The previous operational efficiencies provide savings from day one, but the future can bring even more costly impacts than the daily savings lost by not including energy use reductions or firefighter training elements. These costs are represented by the implications of NOT planning for the changes that will come during the decades the Fire Station is intended to serve the community. While we do not have the proverbial “crystal ball” to see clearly what will occur in the next 20 to 50 years, there are design approaches to be discussed and incorporated that will provide the flexibility, growth and adjustments that will maximize the ability for the facility and site to adapt to anticipated and sometimes even unexpected changes. CNH Architects and our design team has worked with many local fire departments. We have seen failures in facilities to address change, but more importantly, we will discuss the many creative ways fire departments are approaching the challenges that are to come. These approaches can include planning for adaptations as the City’s makeup changes, supporting departments with recruitment and retention goals, or the flexibility in firefighter scheduling. Each of these approaches represent just a few of the topics that may be anticipated in years to come. All of these topics have impacts that if considered during the initial design, can allow for flexibility in use of the original fire house, appropriate opportunity for expansion without major cost, or even the ability to extend the usable life of the building in later decades. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 66 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 310 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES VISUALIZATION AND VIRTUAL REALITY CNH Architects believes that graphic visualizations are one of the most important ways to explore and understand a project’s design with the client. While for some there is a tendency to embrace technology as an end in itself, our approach is that technology only has the value inherent in its ability to strengthen the communication with the client and improve the visual development of the project design. With this goal in mind, CNH Architects uses Revit, the leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, to create 3-D models of all project designs from schematic options to final construction documents. These visualization tools build excitement with their realistic imaging of interior or exterior views but can also study the use of different building materials, natural daylighting, or the views between or around spaces. We have added the capability to visualize this BIM model in virtual reality, allowing the client and design team to explore the architectural design together in an informal setting through live control of a walk-through, either on screen or connected to a visual reality headset. For formal presentations, exterior fly-by and interior walk-through videos can be created presenting the design in ways quickly visualized by city officials or shared to the public. During the schematic design phase, the use of the images and video from the BIM model provides the opportunity for the client to make decisions regarding multiple design options or future phases of a facility master plan with more visual information than possible with limited renderings or two-dimensional plans and elevations. Actual material colors and textures can be applied, and several variations evaluated, assisting the Owner and design team in the Design Development phase. The images developed have also shown to be very valuable when presenting the selected design to committees, stakeholders, and public agencies when approvals are required, or excitement generated. 67 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 3 11 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING68 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 312 PROJECT ARCHITECT BROOKE JACOBSON INTERIOR DESIGN ASHLEY KLIS MECHANICAL STEVE SCHREURS & BILL KOSANKI ELECTRICAL JAY HRUBY & CLIFF CHANG PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT QUINN HUTSON STRUCTURAL DOUG HUGHES CIVIL MATT WOODRUFF LANDSCAPE AMY BOWER COST ESTIMATE DOUG HOLMBERG PROJECT TEAM COLLABORATION Along with a talented multi-disciplinary team of professionals, CNH Architects brings a strong reputation for well-designed projects and personal attention to client requirements.

We research national trends as they develop, explore operational and design efficiencies within our fire station designs, and share this expertise with the broader fire service including lecturing at the MSFCA annual convention. We have worked with fire departments all around the Twin Cities metropolitan area providing fire station and site selection studies, additions and remodeling of existing fire stations, as well as many all new fire station facilities. The following is a list of projects within the last 10 years.

CNH’s collaborative project approach fits well with the incorporation of a Construction Manager throughout the design and construction process and we are pleased that the City of Plymouth is using this construction approach for the Fire Station 2 & 3 project. We feel that a Construction Manager will provide value during the design process providing additional cost estimating and general experience in construction systems. The Construction Manager approach is even more beneficial during the construction phase by having a team of construction personnel daily involved in the project and on site with the best interest of the City of Plymouth and the Plymouth Fire Department in mind. CNH Architects has worked with many of the local Construction Management firms that have experience in the fire station market including CPMI, Kraus Anderson, Terra Construction, and Wenck. 75 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 3 19 PROJECT EXPERIENCE ROSEVILLE FIRE STATION | Roseville, MN The Roseville Fire Station is a new facility that consolidates three former stations and the fire administration into a single location. To fit into the tight city government campus site of one of the former stations, special attention was given to apparatus turning radius and zoning of fire department circulation, public parking, and pedestrian paths, as well as other city staff operations, all with safety in mind. The fire station includes six apparatus bays, office, support functions and dormitories. State of the art training features are designed into the building, allowing fire fighters to do almost all of their recertification training on site. In addition the project focuses on sustainable design principles, including a shared heat loop from the adjacent ice arena. The system provides 100% of the fire station’s heating needs, significantly benefiting the occupants, citizens and environment. Project Challenge: The Roseville Fire Department decided to consolidate all their operations into a single facility and place it on the main city campus. This resulted in a very tight site with significant public and city staff traffic in the area as well as a regional bike and pedestrian path along the apparatus exit frontage. Our design focused on zoning the building and site to create clearly identified circulation, separation of emergency traffic, and custom warning signals all to maximize firefighter and public safety. AWARDS Nationally awarded top project in New Volunteer/Combined Station Category of the 2014 Station Design Awards by Firehouse Magazine. Named as a Top Project of 2013 by Finance & Commerce. Projects were judged for their degree of difficulty, cre- ativity in design, innovative construction techniques, and sustainability efforts.

The 16,500 square foot walk-out facility includes five apparatus bays on the lower level. Centrally located off the bays are the turnout gear lockers, decontamination, and support equipment storage, all of which are carefully designed to remove contaminants from the air brought back on vehicles, protective gear and equipment. The remainder of the first floor includes training rooms, offices, dispatch and wellness rooms. The firefighter living quarters including dayroom, kitchen, dining, dorms and laundry are arranged on the upper level between bays separated for air quality and quiet. CNH Architects designed an exterior building image incorporating a central tower, lighted Maltese cross and clock elements, and a special “thin red line” lighting accent to memorialize all fallen firefighters. The site design includes a curved sign wall facing the main intersection capped by a tall flagpole. The goal was to create a landmark image within the community. In the initial study for this facility, CNH Architects assisted the City of Eagan in evaluating multiple potential station sites, presenting the benefits and liabilities of each for staff and Council review. After the City Council selected the proposed site, we developed a full schematic design to determine image and provide a detailed cost estimate. Project Challenge: As the consolidation of two smaller existing fire stations, Station #1 required careful site evaluation and selection to appropriately address the larger coverage area. Also inherent in a consolidation and closing of the old stations was the careful integration of the concerns and history of each station’s staff. CNH Architects started the evaluation with two studies spanning several years until the perfect site was identified and consensus was formed.

This study evaluated the existing condition of fire station exterior envelope and all interior elements to determine their life expectancy and repair costs. The facility was also reviewed for ADA accessibility, identifying deficiencies and recommended upgrades. In addition, the facility was evaluated for function, current staff and equipment needs, and finally fire fighter safety. From this review, CNH developed a list of recommended remodeling elements and an expansion to better fit the current apparatus and to expand gear locker clearance to meet NFPA safety standards. The final design of the facility improvements emerged from these recommendations. Project Challenge: Most notably, this project was an addition and remodeling to an existing station done by a low-bid contractor that required additional attention. CNH Architects believes that the construction administration phase is as important as the design phase and was on site regularly to represent the City of Eagan, verifying that the quality construction expected by our team was provided.ASSESSMENTCOMPLETED 2015 PROJECT COST $1,300,000 AREA 7,100 SF PROJECT ARCHITECT Quinn Hutson, CNH Architects REFERENCE Mike Scott, Eagan Fire Chief, 651-675-5901, mscott@cityofeagan.com 78 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 322 PROJECT EXPERIENCE MENDOTA HEIGHTS FIRE STATION | Mendota Heights, MN The addition and remodeling upgrades to the Mendota Heights Fire Station will provide an up-to-date functioning fire station that will meet the needs of the Fire Department well into the future. Providing a separate, dedicated space for Turnout Gear with direct connections to firefighter parking and Apparatus Bays will help shorten response times and provide more room in the Apparatus Bays for apparatus and response. Grouping dedicated decontamination areas together in the support spaces that are separate from the Apparatus Bays will help with overall firefighter health and reducing carcinogen exposure. The administrative functions were moved to the north addition to provide more space and better separation from the decontaminated areas as well as separating the public and firefighter traffic to not disrupt response times. Project Challenge: As the only fire station serving the City of Mendota Heights, one of the most important goals of this current project was to develop a station expansion and remodeling design that would allow phasing of the construction in such a way to minimize disruption to the operating fire department. The resulting design provides for an addition that will be built first and then occupied while the remodeling is completed, maintaining essential operations throughout.

The first step was an in-depth study to determine and evaluate potential sites. The review included drive time analysis, apparatus access and safety, site constructability and the comparative total project cost at each site. CNH Architects then led extensive discussions with the City’s design committee to review operational approaches, apparatus needs, on-site training options, and firefighter social activities as well as support space needs, from which a detailed space needs assessment was developed. The new 13,000 sf fire station has 3 double deep drive through apparatus bays. Other spaces include offices, classroom/ EOC, dayroom, kitchen and apparatus support spaces. Extensive training features were designed into the facility, including ladder rescue, floor breach, confined space rescue, search and rescue with cold smoke and maze, wet training tower with standpipe, and interior/exterior rappelling options. Durable and attractive materials such as brick, decorative cast concrete masonry units, and high performance coatings were used inside and out. The high-efficiency boiler, in-floor heat, daylighting, highly insulated envelope, low VOC materials and coatings, and LED lighting throughout are significant sustainable design features that will save operational costs and add comfort to the facility. Project Challenge: Due to a change in service model that included a hard deadline for the new station to be operational, the site selection, station design and construction needed to meet a very aggressive schedule. To ensure that this timeline was met, CNH started the project with a detailed critical path schedule exercise looking for areas where efficiencies could be found as well as calculating the project phases to avoid expensive winter construction impacts.

COMPOSITION OF FIRM Architects 6 Interior Designer 1 Designers 4 Administrative Support 2 Sustainable design is an integral part of our practice. A majority of our professional staff has LEED Accreditation and our office designed the first Green Globe projects in Minnesota. This is a third party national verification system as administered by the Green Building Initiative. 85 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 3 3 The following narrative describes the professional services that is the basis for CNH Architects’ work plan to ensure a very successful project. While the descriptions cover the high-level steps important for a project of this type, CNH has found that ultimately the day-to-day focus on the small but critical detail level tasks that underpin the high level goals are what leads to the success of our past fire station projects and our very satisfied clients. Although the following narrative does not generally list this level of attention to detail, rest assured that CNH’s team is committed to providing the City of Plymouth with this same focus which has been so effective in our past fire station facilities. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, EDUCATION, AND CITY COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS Throughout the project, CNH Architects will work with the Building Design Committee to develop a plan for communicating the different milestones of the two fire stations to the City Council, broader stakeholders and the general public. This communications plan will lay out the timing for each update, format of presentation, and the intended audience. CNH will prepare graphical materials, drawings and realistic visualizations for meetings and publications and will assist City staff in presenting the project at open houses, Council meetings, and fire department presentations. We are experienced in responding to design questions from officials as well as engaging and educating the public in the value of the fire station elements. As the project design develops, we have found that the use of three-dimensional (3-D) video tours in addition to fixed renderings and project plans provides for the most realistic communication of the project to the viewer. PROJECT KICKOFF The project will begin with a detailed kickoff meeting to review the schematic plans CNH developed in the earlier study and discuss the Fire Department’s goals for these two facilities as well as gather input from any new building committee members. We will focus in on the detailed needs and expectations within the building, gathering information developed to this point as well expanding into the level of detail needed as we enter the design development phase. Finally, Quinn Hutson, the Principal Architect on the public safety team for your project, will lead the development of the project delivery planning documents: revising templates for workflow/schedule, design budget, construction budget, and setting up communication systems including a project collaboration website specific to this project. This kickoff process is critical to create a cooperative, engaging tone and finalize the expectations that will guide the rest of the project. SCHEMATIC DESIGN Once the design data and goals have been updated, the earlier schematic designs we created for each station will be reviewed and refined. Throughout this updating of the schematic design, the CNH team will continue to evaluate the many key elements in fire station design starting with the critical concern for firefighter health and wellness. We will share strategies we have developed and incorporated in other fire stations to reduce exposures to harmful chemicals, whether originating in the station or brought back from emergency calls. We have analyzed national studies and collaborated with regional experts to develop a comprehensive approach to toxin reduction in all our fire station buildings. CNH presented our recommendations to attendees at recent Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Conventions and will use this knowledge to review and upgrade your current concept plans to include recommended techniques along with discussing expanded strategies to maximize firefighter toxin reduction. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 86 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 34 After the concept plans for the stations are updated, CNH will develop multiple exterior image concept options for each station. We will incorporate appealing aesthetics, durable materials, clarity in public versus firefighter entrances, as well as a focus on sustainability in the building envelope. CNH will use high quality 3-D video tours along with fixed renderings to explore each visual option to assist the Building Committee in evaluating and selecting the most appropriate fire station aesthetics for both the new Station 2 as well as the remodeling of Station 3. With input from the Building Committee, and other stakeholders, a single preferred schematic design concept for each fire station will be identified. This selected concept design will be further adjusted based on the schematic design review feedback prior to further design development. Finally, the two stations will be evaluated by our cost consultant and the selected construction manager to ensure that all projects meet the budget goals. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT In this phase, we will work with the Building Committee to create the interior elements, texture and image of the two buildings. CNH Architects will emphasize the use of the 3-D imaging capabilities of our Revit Building Information Modeling (BIM) software to develop 3-D tours and renderings of the design options being considered, exploring different options together to find the right approach for each building. We will review and select materials and product choices, as well as develop interior architectural design elements such as millwork, signage, and specialty equipment to be incorporated in the facilities. Early in this phase we will discuss overall sustainability opportunities and set goals with the City that are appropriate for these projects. CNH will discuss possible goals for daylighting, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and low-maintenance landscaping, among other potential topics. This is also a busy time for mechanical and electrical design as the engineering team will fine tune mechanical and electrical system options, reviewing the best fit for each station. They will evaluate system upgrades or replacements for Station 3 and the best new approaches for Station 2 as an all new facility. Operational details will be discussed and information gathered on special systems within the fire stations such as any pre-emption controls, ramped lighting systems, turnout gear room ventilation, tailpipe exhaust systems, CO monitoring and other detail options specific to fire station design. During this phase we will also work with a custom spreadsheet that CNH Architects has developed to gather specific data on specialized equipment and systems that the Department will be bringing to or including in the new fire station. This spreadsheet will help navigate the multitude of options available, providing the data that our team needs to match the building systems to the specialized equipment. During design development, the firefighter training feature goals will be visited, training features will be selected and positioned within the design with cost, operational impacts for training and response, and multi-use of space will all be considered. We will lead a review of the many training elements developed for stations around the country, whether comprehensive elements such as those incorporated in the Roseville and Lino Lakes Fire Stations or simple props, like using an existing stairwell or corner of an apparatus bay. An outline specification will be produced indicating the material, brand, systems and other product information that has been determined during this phase. The drawing and specification information created during this phase will be regularly passed on to the cost estimating team at the construction manager’s office, allowing them to quickly provide a more detailed cost estimate at the completion of the design development phase. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 87 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 3 5 CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS Once the detailed design has been established, CNH Architects and our engineers assemble the drawings, specifications, schedules, and details that make up the construction documents. We take pride in developing very comprehensive construction documents with complete, clear information describing the systems and elements of the building to minimize contractor questions and uncertainty in bidding. Providing comprehensive documents also ensures the use of building detailing that has been shown to provide durability and value for past fire station and other public project designs. The fire station will be highly modeled in 3-D using Revit BIM software. In addition to the main architectural BIM model, all the engineering disciplines also model their designs in Revit. This allows us to link them all together to create a comprehensive model from design development through construction document phases. The engineering consultants are required to build all elements as 3-D objects, including smaller items such as light fixtures, power outlets, plumbing faucets, HVAC grilles and structural trussing and braces. This level of detail allows for a high level of coordination between disciplines, ensures clearances for all trades, and validates visual elements of the design. In addition, CNH Architects will conduct collision detection and create visual cuts throughout the combined Revit model, including structure, mechanical, and electrical models near the completion of the project construction documents to locate and eliminate overlapping or incorrectly located building elements. This final quality control step has shown to resolve many potential coordination items that would have been invisible in two-dimensional (2-D) drafting. Quality control during this phase will also include a final rechecking of the many building codes, accessibility requirements, NFPA and other standards that are applicable to the fire station design as well as a review of client goals and decisions that have been documented during previous phases of the project. As in all previous phases, CNH Architects will assist the construction manager to update the cost estimate will be d a final time prior to completion of the construction document phase, adjusting for changes in systems, quantities, material costs or other bidding environment issues. As in all previous phases, CNH Architects will assist the construction manager to update the cost estimate will be d a final time prior to completion of the construction document phase, adjusting for changes in systems, quantities, material costs or other bidding environment issues. BIDDING During this phase, CNH Architects and our design team will support the Construction Manager to administer the bidding and help maintain a smooth process. We will assist the City in advertising the project both for legal requirements and for maximizing bidder awareness. CNH and our team will be available to address contractors’ questions as they arise, will attend a pre-bid conference, and will write and distribute addenda to clarify bidding questions and to approve submitted substitutions where appropriate. CNH Architects will assist in the Construction Manager in their process of the opening of bids and evaluating the bid results. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 88 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 36 CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION We feel the success of any project depends on staying on top of the process from early planning through construction. Where many firms lose interest in a project after the building is designed and drawings complete, CNH has found that much of the success of the project depends on working closely with the Construction Manager to assist in addressing the issues that arise during construction, making sure the client is represented and protected. Unlike many firms, CNH Architects and our engineering team provides the administration of the contract with the same personnel that designed the project. We feel these architects and engineers are the only ones who understand not only what is on the construction documents, but why the building was designed or detailed that way to begin with. This maintains continuity throughout the process, reducing the potential for construction changes that negatively impact the client goals or the integrity of the building systems. The Principal / Project Architect and other team members will regularly review the construction at each site to determine progress, conformance to the construction documents and to discuss upcoming construction all with the goal of a smooth, efficient construction process that is done professionally and correctly. We strive to work in a collaborative approach with the Construction Manager and prime contractors, valuing the knowledge and experience of the many skilled trades people on site. However, our primary objective will be to represent the City of Plymouth and the Fire Department, looking out for your best interests including the quality, conformance and timeliness of the construction. For this project we would schedule a weekly construction observation for the architectural team supplemented by the appropriate engineers as relevant trades are on site so that we can provide quick response to questions and very regularly review progress schedules to keep on top of the important project timeline. These construction observations will be documented with detailed reports including pictures of progress and items requiring correction. Other construction administration services will include providing the document and Information flow necessary for this phase of the project. This will include answers to RFI’s, writing supplemental information documents, shop drawings and other submittal review, writing change orders, and reviewing contractor applications for payment. CNH Architects will provide a web-based project collaboration website for the transmittal, storage and coordination of all information and document flows during the construction administration phase. This simple to use website has shown itself to be very helpful as a not only a transmission tool, but as an organized repository for the project information for all relevant project members. As the construction process comes to an end, CNH Architects will provide preliminary and then final punchlists of incomplete, non-conforming or damaged items for the contractor to address. Since the fire stations will transition to operations upon substantial completion, we will particularly focus on preliminary review and punchlist generation and contractor attention to these details as each area of the project approaches the last stages so that the fire department has as little disruption as possible during their ramping up and transition to live operations. After project completion, CNH Architects considers follow-up and being available for questions a regular part of our normal practice. We feel a large reason for our numerous repeat clients is the service we provide after the project is finished and occupied. Whether it is a problem that has developed that needs to be reviewed or just helpful advice on adding building systems, we make ourselves available to help. This post-occupancy contact with our buildings has also given us a great insight into what is performing well over time and what is not, which is information that allows us to provide our clients with the detailed information to provide the best design choices possible. PROJECT COLLABORATION WEBSITE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 89 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 3 7 DESIGN TO REDUCE TOXIN EXPOSURE CNH Architects and our design team are also keenly aware of the growing data on firefighter health concerns. We will share strategies we have developed and incorporated in other fire stations to reduce exposures to harmful chemicals, whether originating in the station or brought back from emergency calls. We have analyzed national studies and collaborated with regional experts to develop a comprehensive approach to toxin reduction in all our fire station buildings. CNH presented our recommendations at an attendee workshop at previous Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Conventions. The floor plan diagrams below show one of the aspects we evaluate in new or remodeled fire stations. Also of prime importance is the careful design of the HVAC systems to prevent cross-contamination between zones as well as ramped exhaust from “Hot” zones and positive pressure in “Cold” zones. While carcinogen reduction is critical, we will also focus on other protective measures to improve firefighter health and safety. These including minimizing the negative impacts of the “startle response” caused by sudden alarm signals. To combat this, we recommend designing the station with ramped lighting and soft-start alerting tone paging systems to reduce heart rate spikes and long-term hearing impacts. CNH will also incorporate a fitness area, including both strength training and cardiovascular health equipment for improved firefighter physical conditioning. Hot - High Hazard Zone Transition - Moderate Hazard Zone Cold - Low Hazard Zone SECOND FLOOR CONCEPT PLAN - ZONING FIRST FLOOR CONCEPT PLAN - ZONING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 90 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 38 OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY THROUGH DESIGN Operational efficiency can take many forms, most of which can be directly impacted by the building design. CNH Architects and our design team offer significant expertise to maximize the efficiency potential of each new fire station. Some of these are items commonly associated with operational efficiency such as energy conservation and lifecycle cost analysis, while others unique to our project team address firefighter training opportunities or elements that specifically address recruiting and retention of quality firefighters. Because a municipal facility represents the investment of tax dollars, CNH Architects understands the importance of providing a design that will provide value in as many ways as possible and for many decades to come. INCORPORATION OF FIRE SERVICES TRAINING INTO FACILITY Designing fire training opportunities into fire stations is a concept that has been adopted by fire department leaders and architects. This “new generation” of fire stations are functional, affordable, durable, sustainable and educational. Incorporating on-site fire training into the new facility is a customized approach developed in conjunction with the building design and project budget. The first step is to complete a training Needs Assessment with the department training committee and potentially include other vested organizations such as law enforcement and local colleges. There are many benefits to providing training feature opportunities within the design of a fire station building. These include reduced external training costs, increased training availability, maintaining fire fighter availability for calls during training sessions instead of leaving the service area, as well as improve fire fighter recruiting for the department. Our recent fire stations have included training capabilities allowing fire fighters to work on 11 of the 12 Fire Fighter I certification requirements, essentially everything except for live burns. Many facilities also include some advanced training features as well. Some of the typical items often included are: • Ladder evolutions, both at windows and balconies • Rescue scenarios • Confined space drills • Stairway hose advancement • Floor breach exercises • Rappelling and tripod exercises PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TRAINING FEATURES 91 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 3 9 After obtaining this information, the team will establish a priority list of training elements and look for opportunities both interior and exterior. At a minimum, the department should adopt a “Basic Training” mentality and consider the following fundamentals: • Ground Ladder Training / Evolutions • Confined Space Rescue • Hose Advancement / Stairwell Evolutions • Search + Rescue • Rappelling • Salvage Operations • High Angle Rescue • Fire Attack • Elevators • Fire Suppression • Search Line Survival Training Incorporation of training features into the building and site has shown to provide significant cost, staffing and training efficiencies to past clients in several ways. First, this approach allows firefighters to update their fire training experience while remaining at the station and available to respond to emergency calls. There are no fees to train at other off-site locations and firefighter time is saved by not traveling away from the Fire House. As an example, the Roseville Fire Station incorporated training elements to allow for recertification on 11 of the 12 required Firefighter I skills, everything except live burns. PLANNING FOR A CHANGING FIRE DEPARTMENT The previous operational efficiencies provide savings from day one, but the future can bring even more costly impacts than the daily savings lost by not including energy use reductions or firefighter training elements. These costs are represented by the implications of NOT planning for the changes that will come during the decades the Fire Station is intended to serve the community. While we do not have the proverbial “crystal ball” to see clearly what will occur in the next 20 to 50 years, there are design approaches to be discussed and incorporated that will provide the flexibility, growth and adjustments that will maximize the ability for the facility and site to adapt to anticipated and sometimes even unexpected changes. CNH Architects and our design team has worked with many local fire departments. We have seen failures in facilities to address change, but more importantly, we will discuss the many creative ways fire departments are approaching the challenges that are to come. These approaches can include planning for adaptations as the City’s makeup changes, supporting departments with recruitment and retention goals, or the flexibility in firefighter scheduling. Each of these approaches represent just a few of the topics that may be anticipated in years to come. All of these topics have impacts that if considered during the initial design, can allow for flexibility in use of the original fire house, appropriate opportunity for expansion without major cost, or even the ability to extend the usable life of the building in later decades. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 92 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 310 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES VISUALIZATION AND VIRTUAL REALITY CNH Architects believes that graphic visualizations are one of the most important ways to explore and understand a project’s design with the client. While for some there is a tendency to embrace technology as an end in itself, our approach is that technology only has the value inherent in its ability to strengthen the communication with the client and improve the visual development of the project design. With this goal in mind, CNH Architects uses Revit, the leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, to create 3-D models of all project designs from schematic options to final construction documents. These visualization tools build excitement with their realistic imaging of interior or exterior views but can also study the use of different building materials, natural daylighting, or the views between or around spaces. We have added the capability to visualize this BIM model in virtual reality, allowing the client and design team to explore the architectural design together in an informal setting through live control of a walk-through, either on screen or connected to a visual reality headset. For formal presentations, exterior fly-by and interior walk-through videos can be created presenting the design in ways quickly visualized by city officials or shared to the public. During the schematic design phase, the use of the images and video from the BIM model provides the opportunity for the client to make decisions regarding multiple design options or future phases of a facility master plan with more visual information than possible with limited renderings or two-dimensional plans and elevations. Actual material colors and textures can be applied, and several variations evaluated, assisting the Owner and design team in the Design Development phase. The images developed have also shown to be very valuable when presenting the selected design to committees, stakeholders, and public agencies when approvals are required, or excitement generated. 93 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 3 11 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING94 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 312 PROJECT ARCHITECT BROOKE JACOBSON INTERIOR DESIGN ASHLEY KLIS MECHANICAL STEVE SCHREURS & BILL KOSANKI ELECTRICAL JAY HRUBY & CLIFF CHANG PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT QUINN HUTSON STRUCTURAL DOUG HUGHES CIVIL MATT WOODRUFF LANDSCAPE AMY BOWER COST ESTIMATE DOUG HOLMBERG PROJECT TEAM COLLABORATION Along with a talented multi-disciplinary team of professionals, CNH Architects brings a strong reputation for well-designed projects and personal attention to client requirements.

CNH’s collaborative project approach fits well with the incorporation of a Construction Manager throughout the design and construction process and we are pleased that the City of Plymouth is using this construction approach for the Fire Station 2 & 3 project. We feel that a Construction Manager will provide value during the design process providing additional cost estimating and general experience in construction systems. The Construction Manager approach is even more beneficial during the construction phase by having a team of construction personnel daily involved in the project and on site with the best interest of the City of Plymouth and the Plymouth Fire Department in mind. CNH Architects has worked with many of the local Construction Management firms that have experience in the fire station market including CPMI, Kraus Anderson, Terra Construction, and Wenck. 101 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 3 19 PROJECT EXPERIENCE ROSEVILLE FIRE STATION | Roseville, MN The Roseville Fire Station is a new facility that consolidates three former stations and the fire administration into a single location. To fit into the tight city government campus site of one of the former stations, special attention was given to apparatus turning radius and zoning of fire department circulation, public parking, and pedestrian paths, as well as other city staff operations, all with safety in mind. The fire station includes six apparatus bays, office, support functions and dormitories. State of the art training features are designed into the building, allowing fire fighters to do almost all of their recertification training on site. In addition the project focuses on sustainable design principles, including a shared heat loop from the adjacent ice arena. The system provides 100% of the fire station’s heating needs, significantly benefiting the occupants, citizens and environment. Project Challenge: The Roseville Fire Department decided to consolidate all their operations into a single facility and place it on the main city campus. This resulted in a very tight site with significant public and city staff traffic in the area as well as a regional bike and pedestrian path along the apparatus exit frontage. Our design focused on zoning the building and site to create clearly identified circulation, separation of emergency traffic, and custom warning signals all to maximize firefighter and public safety. AWARDS Nationally awarded top project in New Volunteer/Combined Station Category of the 2014 Station Design Awards by Firehouse Magazine. Named as a Top Project of 2013 by Finance & Commerce.

The 16,500 square foot walk-out facility includes five apparatus bays on the lower level. Centrally located off the bays are the turnout gear lockers, decontamination, and support equipment storage, all of which are carefully designed to remove contaminants from the air brought back on vehicles, protective gear and equipment. The remainder of the first floor includes training rooms, offices, dispatch and wellness rooms. The firefighter living quarters including dayroom, kitchen, dining, dorms and laundry are arranged on the upper level between bays separated for air quality and quiet. CNH Architects designed an exterior building image incorporating a central tower, lighted Maltese cross and clock elements, and a special “thin red line” lighting accent to memorialize all fallen firefighters. The site design includes a curved sign wall facing the main intersection capped by a tall flagpole. The goal was to create a landmark image within the community. In the initial study for this facility, CNH Architects assisted the City of Eagan in evaluating multiple potential station sites, presenting the benefits and liabilities of each for staff and Council review. After the City Council selected the proposed site, we developed a full schematic design to determine image and provide a detailed cost estimate. Project Challenge: As the consolidation of two smaller existing fire stations, Station #1 required careful site evaluation and selection to appropriately address the larger coverage area. Also inherent in a consolidation and closing of the old stations was the careful integration of the concerns and history of each station’s staff. CNH Architects started the evaluation with two studies spanning several years until the perfect site was identified and consensus was formed.

This study evaluated the existing condition of fire station exterior envelope and all interior elements to determine their life expectancy and repair costs. The facility was also reviewed for ADA accessibility, identifying deficiencies and recommended upgrades. In addition, the facility was evaluated for function, current staff and equipment needs, and finally fire fighter safety. From this review, CNH developed a list of recommended remodeling elements and an expansion to better fit the current apparatus and to expand gear locker clearance to meet NFPA safety standards. The final design of the facility improvements emerged from these recommendations. Project Challenge: Most notably, this project was an addition and remodeling to an existing station done by a low-bid contractor that required additional attention. CNH Architects believes that the construction administration phase is as important as the design phase and was on site regularly to represent the City of Eagan, verifying that the quality construction expected by our team was provided.ASSESSMENTCOMPLETED 2015 PROJECT COST $1,300,000 AREA 7,100 SF PROJECT ARCHITECT Quinn Hutson, CNH Architects REFERENCE Mike Scott, Eagan Fire Chief, 651-675-5901, mscott@cityofeagan.com 104 Plymouth Fire Station 2 & 322 PROJECT EXPERIENCE MENDOTA HEIGHTS FIRE STATION | Mendota Heights, MN The addition and remodeling upgrades to the Mendota Heights Fire Station will provide an up-to-date functioning fire station that will meet the needs of the Fire Department well into the future. Providing a separate, dedicated space for Turnout Gear with direct connections to firefighter parking and Apparatus Bays will help shorten response times and provide more room in the Apparatus Bays for apparatus and response. Grouping dedicated decontamination areas together in the support spaces that are separate from the Apparatus Bays will help with overall firefighter health and reducing carcinogen exposure. The administrative functions were moved to the north addition to provide more space and better separation from the decontaminated areas as well as separating the public and firefighter traffic to not disrupt response times. Project Challenge: As the only fire station serving the City of Mendota Heights, one of the most important goals of this current project was to develop a station expansion and remodeling design that would allow phasing of the construction in such a way to minimize disruption to the operating fire department. The resulting design provides for an addition that will be built first and then occupied while the remodeling is completed, maintaining essential operations throughout.

The first step was an in-depth study to determine and evaluate potential sites. The review included drive time analysis, apparatus access and safety, site constructability and the comparative total project cost at each site. CNH Architects then led extensive discussions with the City’s design committee to review operational approaches, apparatus needs, on-site training options, and firefighter social activities as well as support space needs, from which a detailed space needs assessment was developed. The new 13,000 sf fire station has 3 double deep drive through apparatus bays. Other spaces include offices, classroom/ EOC, dayroom, kitchen and apparatus support spaces. Extensive training features were designed into the facility, including ladder rescue, floor breach, confined space rescue, search and rescue with cold smoke and maze, wet training tower with standpipe, and interior/exterior rappelling options. Durable and attractive materials such as brick, decorative cast concrete masonry units, and high performance coatings were used inside and out. The high-efficiency boiler, in-floor heat, daylighting, highly insulated envelope, low VOC materials and coatings, and LED lighting throughout are significant sustainable design features that will save operational costs and add comfort to the facility. Project Challenge: Due to a change in service model that included a hard deadline for the new station to be operational, the site selection, station design and construction needed to meet a very aggressive schedule. To ensure that this timeline was met, CNH started the project with a detailed critical path schedule exercise looking for areas where efficiencies could be found as well as calculating the project phases to avoid expensive winter construction impacts.
