RE: Proposal for Wangard Multifamily Clubhouse Prototype
PRA Project No. 240210-01
Ms. Megan Michuda, Development Manager
Wangard Partners, Inc.
1200 N Mayfair Rd, Suite 310 Milwaukee, WI 53226
MEGAN, on behalf of PRA I would like to thank you for giving us this opportunity to provide a proposal for Architectural, Interior Design and Engineering Design Services to create Wangard’s Multifamily Clubhouse Prototype Project!
PRA understands that our services will Included the development of the Clubhouse Prototype concept utilizing the program provided by Wangard. Site considerations will be further developed on a site-by-site basis as properties are acquired for development. Our services will also include full Architectural and Interior Design through all the normal phases of a project to provide Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents and Construction Administration Services as the project goes under construction. Building specifications will follow Wangard standards for building products and finishes which will be included on the CD drawing sets. The CD sets will be submitted on a project-by-project basis for plan approval with appropriate authorities having jurisdiction. PRA will further assist Wangard during the bidding process to help procure final bid numbers.
We also understand that PRA will be holding under contract consultants/engineers required for the project including MEPFP and Structural Engineering. We will coordinate with the Civil Engineer and Landscape Design consultant held under contract by Wangard on a project-by-project basis. The MEPFP engineering service for this project will be a Design Assist Performance Specification done with Graef Engineering to allow for a design/build approach for MEPFP utilities. Graef Engineering will also be providing the Structural Engineering services. Interior Design will be done with PRA’s interior design staff following Wangard’s provided finish standards which we are very familiar with and helped develop. Lastly regarding consulting engineers’ services, we will provide a Pool Consulting as needed for projects considering a pool to be part of the overall project.
Finally, when this project proceeds into construction, PRA will be providing Construction Administration Services for the project including review of project product submittals, handling RFI’s, construction bulletins and changes orders, etc. as the project progresses. PRA will be doing two site visits per month along with attending OAC meetings both virtually and in person meetings as determined when the project construction schedule is confirmed. We assume that a project of this nature will have a construction duration of 6 months.
With this understanding in mind, you will see in our proposal that we have assembled a team of consultants and engineers that we have worked with in the past and obviously are well qualified to be part of the team to perform the services necessary to make this project a success.
We believe the key to any project will be applying the right expertise and together providing the collaboration needed with your team.
Expertise | For decades, housing design has been one of PRA’s core competencies. We understand the unique nature of residential environments and creating comfortable spaces which include Clubhouse amenities for the residents that will live in them.
Collaboration | Our client-centric process begins by listening and gaining a thorough understanding of the project goals and objectives for the project. Then we engage key stakeholders throughout the process while working collaboratively with our engineering team, you the client and Wangard’s CM/ Construction Consultant, resulting in an efficient, cost-effective design process.
Commitment | Our team of architects and engineers is committed to serving our clients and the members of our team provide knowledge and direction to create unique project solutions that will meet the goals and visions of Wangard Partners. Speaking personally, I can tell you our work will not be complete until Wangard Partners is completely satisfied. Our entire dedicated team will deliver innovative, comfortable, and functional housing solutions.
Again, thank you for offering PRA this opportunity and we look very much forward to being a part of making your project a success!

THE GALLINA COMPANIES - RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES PROTOTYPE
ENGLEWOOD, FL
SCOPE Provided architectural services for various residential communities across southwest Florida
COMPLETION Varies
OWNER The Gallina Companies, 101 E. Main Street, Suite 500, Mt Horeb, WI 53572
PRA was engaged to masterplan, design, and provide construction administration services for a series of apartment communities throughout southwest Florida. Each site provided unique challenges that required our team to adapt the prototypical residential and clubhouse building designs to seamlessly integrate with their surroundings. The various spaces within each of the clubhouses were scaled to fit the overall total unit count of the community they served. Spaces such as Fitness Centers, Business Centers, Manager Offices, Outdoor Kitchens, Fire pits and Pools provide residents with exciting amenities.
These apartments represent the continued evolution of a successful design concept that has been implemented across multiple locations. This adaptable approach highlights the versatility of the concept, providing a proven model that can be tailored to meet diverse project goals and site conditions, much like the envisioned project by Wangard.
These projects are showcased below and on the following page. Examples include The Bergamot on 780, Lemon Bay Apartments of Englewood, The Residences at Creighton Waterway, and Waterfront on Hatchett Creek.

At the start, PRA will work with Wangard to identify a steering committee of executives and stakeholders that will provide top-level guidance. This is the group we will work with to identify the organization’s priorities, vision, and core principles that will guide all other decisions.
The next tier of input will come from managers and staff that are identified as the leaders of departments and processes. PRA will engage these teams regularly to define specific areas and spaces. It is during these sessions that we transform the vision of the steering committee into Practical Design Solutions that are innovative, feasible and effective. Additionally, PRA will be collaborating and coordinating our efforts with all consultants and the chosen CM/Contractor that would be involved with any of Wangard’s projects. Each phase will require regular in-person and virtual meetings with key staff. Every meeting will have a set agenda and be followed-up with minutes to record the decisions that have been made - as well as those that are still under development. The project priorities set by the steering committee will always be printed at the top of each agenda to promote continual reevaluation and assessment of the project compared to the established goals.
First and foremost, our project process starts with a clear understanding of the targeted project schedule and project budget. These two key factors will be woven into all aspects of our design process going forward. Schedules will be maintained and focused on as the project follows through each of the design phases. The project budget will be monitored with check points at the end of each design phase. If required design solutions will be modified with owner input to maintain budget goal.
Overall, the optimal project approach for healthcare design will involve considering the needs and goals of the project and implementing strategies to ensure that the design meets those needs in a practical and effective manner.
