Request for Qualifications for A/E Professional Design Services for

First Responder’s Training Facility RFQ No. 20-09 December 12, 2019 / 2:00 p.m.

December 12, 2019 Mr. Arturo Lopez, Senior Buyer / Procurement Operations Department Houston Community College System; 3100 Main Street, 11th Floor / Houston, Texas 77002 RE: RFQ 20-09, Architectural and Engineering Services for New First Responders Training Facility Dear Mr. Lopez: We are pleased to submit this technical proposal to the Houston Community College System for the above referenced project. Huitt-Zollars is uniquely qualified to be the prime design professional for this project. As you read through the qualifications of our firm and selected sub-consultants, you will notice numerous reasons to select Huitt-Zollars, which I have summarized below.

We have Deep Roots in this Community. In 2012 Huitt-Zollars acquired the stock of Morris Architects, a prominent architectural firm that has been active in Houston since 1938. Huitt-Zollars was founded in 1975 in Dallas, where its headquarters office is located. There are six Huitt-Zollars offices in Texas, employing 325 highly skilled design professionals.

There are thirteen offices located outside Texas, which when added to the Texas staff, total 530 employees firm-wide. HuittZollars is incorporated in the State of Texas as a “C” Corporation and registered with the state as a licensed provider of architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, and engineering services.

We Know First Responder Training. Huitt-Zollars has designed sheriff and fire training and emergency management facilities for Harris County and the City of Houston. Our swift water sub-consultant, S2O, is one of the nation’s foremost experts in the design of swift and rising water training facilities.

We Design Educational Facilities that Teach Skills. Huitt-Zollars has designed higher educational facilities in the past ten years, ranging in size from $1.0 million to more than $65 million. We have a sub-specialty in the design of hands-on workforce training for automotive repair, welding, energy and manufacturing sectors as well as service sectors such as cosmetology and the culinary arts.

We Understand Water from Gulf Coast Flooding to Water Treatment. Huitt-Zollars led the Greater Houston Flood Mitigation Consortium study commissioned by a number of prominent non-profits in Houston. Additionally, having provided civil engineering services to the Harris County Flood Control District for many years, we were hired by FEMA to do facility condition assessments after Hurricane Harvey. Our water treatment consultant, Cloward H2O, has worked with us and S2O on numerous projects including waterparks and themed attractions. They understand the importance of keeping the water safe for trainers and trainees.

We are Experts in Creating Themed Environments. Huitt-Zollars is one of the foremost experts in the design of complex, award-winning theme park environments. We were the lead architects for Disney on Pandora: Land of Avatar, the recently opened Stars Wars attractions in Orlando and Anaheim, and numerous other attractions. For Universal Orlando, we were the architect for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley™ and Escape From Gringotts™ and most recently, Volcano Bay™, a very large water park. The knowledge of how to create themed, life-like, and engaging environments that are durable so they can be experienced by thousands of people each day is a skill set we enthusiastically bring to this project.

Sincerely,

Chris A. Hudson, AIA Sr. VP, Huitt-Zollars, Inc.

3. Proposed Approach and Methodology

Proposed Approach and Methodology

3. Proposed Approach and Methodology

i. Proposer shall respond to all requirements and questions noted in Section 1, including the proposed approach and methodology the firm proposes to deliver the services required in this RFQ.

Our firm is capable of providing all services required for the design, construction, and delivery of this type of facility. We have been challenged before with complex projects and have successfully delivered every one of them.

We believe that we have that extra ingredient to stand out from the rest: Our expert theme parks design team is capable of making things appear as real as possible with systems that can be reused and recycled.

In order to provide the best services to HCC for this project, assembling the right team is essential. As the prime consultant, Huitt-Zollars, Inc has the experience of managing large, medium and small successful projects of all types and complexities. In the past, we have put together teams from all disciplines and locations and this project is no exception. As part of our approach, we have reached out to the experts in each of the related disciplines (in-house or outsourced) that will take part of this exciting training center project. This experienced team offers the following methodology: DESIGN PHILOSOPHY. For this and all of our projects, we begin with our mission statement:

“Our commitment is to understand the needs of our clients and to meet those needs by delivering professional services with the highest level of quality and integrity.” Our objective is to mold the design

solutions to meet your needs as we focus on the quality of the solutions, composed in responsiveness to your needs, it’s flexibility to change/adaptation as our understanding of your needs evolves. Through the design and the construction process, to the grand opening, we will rely on integrity in our developed personal relationship with you to maintain open and honest communications, common purpose and mutual benefit.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY. Our methodology is

governed directly by our philosophy. The initiation of any project begins by establishing and understanding the objectives, client goals and constraints. We will use “feedback” to confirm our process and considerations.

Design issues, opportunities and constraints may change over the course of the design process, revised “feedback” from owners, users, consultants, and various other projects stakeholders. This simple approach creates a powerful way of measuring a design solution’s responsiveness to participant input.

We will begin the process by listening to the College’s representatives about their goals, aspirations, desires, schedule constraints and budget requirements. We will visit the project site and develop a clear understanding of the existing conditions and influences that will affect the design concepts that are developed early in design. We take care to confirm program criteria for the project against the reality of existing conditions in the field, and we will verify construction dollars at this point – before we begin to formulate design solutions. An essential element of our approach to the programming and design of the facility is to assure the achievement of our Client’s expectations and budget prior to design initiation by means of, as detailed as possible, parametric estimate as a part of the initial programming effort.

INTEGRATING INSTITUTIONAL STANDARDS. Huitt-

Zollars understands the importance of a thorough knowledge of the College’s institutional standards – whether technical, programmatic or other – that must inform the resulting design solutions. While we strive for integration of institutional standards into the design, we will also generate unique solutions that can be HCC / First Responders Training Facility

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REVIEWS. As we

Aesthetics is an important aspect of every design decision, whether a part of the architecture or a component in an operating system and this training center is no exception. Orderly and efficient organization, consistent appearance and appropriate scale, all play a role in establishing an appreciation and acceptance of the spaces and systems by the users and occupants.

progress from Schematic Design to Construction Documents, our process shifts to focusing on internal design reviews among our design team. Our Design Director and Project Manager review the project at each phase to ensure that we are maintaining the direction set forth in our user group meetings, while our Quality Control Manager checks our specifications and drawings to ensure code compliance and proper construction documentation.

BEST PRACTICE VISITS. There is no better

We can set up visits to training facilities such as the Harris County Sheriff and Fire training facility. Higher education facilities such as the San Jacinto College Center for Industrial Technology or the Lone Star Energy Manufacturing Institute building.

team and documentation teams stay on the project during construction administration in order to maintain the institutional memory of the project. Our Project Manager, Antonio Puerto, spent 18 months full-time on site on a 1,000,000 s,f, complex project. By dealing with the contractors and subcontractors on a day to day basis he understands what they go through and the challenges that arise which has clearly changed our way of documenting our drawings and specifications.

COMMUNICATION. It is in

our culture to ensure that communication is the base of a project relationship. We understand that it is key for a successful project not only with the client but also with ALL team members including the contractors.

USER GROUP PROGRAMMING & DESIGN CHARRETTES. Our

design team will meet with Project Managers, Trainers and other user groups in sessions focused on understanding and parsing through the needs, goals, and educational aspirations of the project at hand. We create a guide specific to your project that not only gives us a strong basis for design solutions, but also helps us check that we are meeting or exceeding your goals as the design progresses.

We can compare programs from previous projects 32

ii. HCC intends that each proposer provide a detailed and comprehensive description of all services that the proposer will provide if it enters into a contract pursuant to the RFQ.

WORK SESSIONS. Our first step is to conduct a

work session with the stakeholders to develop a comprehensive project scope, define the budget, and schedule constraint.

WORK PLAN. Our second step is for the Project

Manager and our team to develop a work plan, which

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN CHARETTES. Next, a series of design charrettes will be led by the design team.

This intense, multi-day series of meetings is necessary to define the district’s ideas and goals required to meet expectations and will begin to organize the project and start developing the appropriate solutions for the program and site. The Charrette process encourages participation from all parties interested in the design of the training center and we have found it to be enlightening and agreeable to all involved as it allows each team member to express their ideas and concerns eventually establishing a set of group goals to be incorporated into the design of the project.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN (SD). During this phase of the process, our team will develop a series of options that allows your team to visualize layouts, structures, massing, and spatial relations for the proposed facility.

Our deliverables will include a site plan, a series of floor plans, sections, elevations and massing studies, program summary and relationships as well as a series of 3D images and renderings.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT (DD). During this phase of

the project, our design team will further develop the design into a more comprehensive site, structure and building solution. The team will explore facility systems, structural systems, materials, finishes and all other aspects of this project to develop a comprehensive solution. Budgets will be developed and we will begin to validate the cost of the project to ensure we are on budget and eventually on schedule.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS (CD). During this

phase of the project, our design team will build from the previous phases and documents a complete, coordinated, and referenced set of documents for

the contractor to build the project. This effort will be under the direction of one of our Project Architects who brings the knowledge and experience in the management of comparable projects. In addition, our Project Architect will be assisted by our Quality Manager to ensure our documents are coordinated and in alignment with our specification manuals.

intent and quality of the construction is up to the expectations of the College. Our onsite effort will be led by our project architect Carlos Hernandez that not only brings all of the institutional memory of the project but more than 10 years of construction administration experience.

POST OCCUPANCY / CONSTRUCTION / WARRANTY (POCW). After the project reaches substantial

completions, Huitt-Zollars is very involved in the project close out, building systems start-up, and Post Occupancy Reviews. Close to the completion of construction our team will be involved in the management of the punch list items in order to ensure that all systems are functioning per the team’s design expectations.

Our firm is capable of providing all services required for the design, construction, and delivery of this type of facility. We have been challenged before with complex projects and have successfully delivered every one of them. We believe that we have that extra ingredient

checks to assess the level of quality in project delivery.

Following project completion, the project team will participate in a lessons-learned meeting. The corporate quality manager will perform routine project audits. Client feedback is solicited to improve Huitt-Zollars’ project delivery, and support our dedication to excellence.

iv. Customer Satisfaction: How do you measure and monitor customer satisfaction; describe the method used, frequency, and how results are reported.

See chart inserted below.

4. Act. Huitt-Zollars will take the following actions to ensure improvements in project delivery and the Quality Management System are incorporated: Checklists are updated to address feedback and audit concerns and the Corporate Quality Management Team (including the chief executive officer and corporate quality manager) annually review the results of the checklist, and establish quality objectives for the following year.

The Plan – Do – Check – Act process described above supports Huitt-Zollars’ commitment to achieve an error-free project; that matches the scope, meets the outlined timeframe, and does not exceed the project budget. These factors are measured throughout the process to ensure the number of QC comments are not outside the norm for the type and size of the project. QC comments outside the anticipated norm can indicate a larger project issue. With a multi-layered review process, the project manager and principal-in-charge are involved in understanding and tracking the document quality level long before it becomes an actual deliverable.

Huitt-Zollars is committed to quality control in our overall delivery process and documentation of projects. The A/E team believes that a successful project is one that all stakeholders take pride in both the final product and the process that led to it.

v. Capabilities and Capacity: Proposer shall clearly define its in-house capability and capacity to perform the work identified in the Scope of Services of this RFQ. Your response must describe the various technologies, tools, methods, and technical expertise that you will provide to HCC and/or that will be used in the delivery of the services and how that will be of benefit in the delivery of services to HCC.

TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES. Huitt-Zollars is a leader in the application of computer-aided design, drafting, and modeling technologies, including Building Information Modeling (BIM). Today we have more than 300 workstations employing both traditional CADbased design packages and BIM systems, such as Revit and Bentley BIM. We also deploy a wide selection of other specialized engineering software.

We maintain subscription relationships with all major software producers to ensure that we always have access to the current versions of these design tools.

METHODS. We produce nearly all of our facilities projects with BIM tools. We work primarily with Autodesk Revit, but we can also produce projects in Bentley BIM. We supplement these systems with an array of other software including AutoCAD and MicroStation for general drafting and plan production, Visualization tools including but not limited to Rhino, HCC / First Responders Training Facility

OFFICES. Huitt-Zollars currently has 20 offices throughout the United States. Five offices are located in Texas and each one is equipped with a minimum of a full gigabit-LAN with local file storage and Internet access, one color and black and white copier, a fax machine, VOIP phones, a video-conference system, office furniture and supplies as needed for each person.

3ds Max Design, Enscape, Adobe and Sketchup. Revit and Navisworks are used for project coordination and clash detection. MS Project, MS Office and Newforma are used for project management and document administration.

As a firm, we are accustomed to using the owner’s preferred web-based project management software and we are happy to comply when asked. For this project, we propose NewForma as our web-based project information management software. During the design and construction phases, we have found Newforma to be an excellent tool to track all project data including action items, product literature, owner directives, and consultant reviews. The software assists with accountability and action item deadlines with the broadcast of task reminders as responses become due or required.

NewForma consolidates all of our project-related emails from all users to one central location where the information is accessible and searchable.

PROJECT: RIVERSPORT WHITEWATER CENTER Oklahoma City, OK

RAPIDS

Project Construc�on Cost: $45 million Key Staff: Sco� Shipley, Jeffrey Gus�n, Chris�ne Clark Project Dates: August 2012- May 2016 Reference: Mike Knopp, Execu�ve Director, OKC Boathouse Founda�on, 405-552-4040, mknopp@chesapeakboathouse.org

Riversport Rapids Whitewater Center is the designated training center for the Oklahoma State University Homeland Security degree program. The site features a dedicated swiftwater rescue training area designed for vehicle rescue, self rescue, rescue from structures, and self rescue training, amongst other scenarios.

The Whitewater Center is ideally located at the crossroads of two arterial highways and strategically placed within the city; a short water taxi or river walk away from Bricktown and Downtown OKC. S2o, as project lead, worked with the City, stakeholders, and sub-contractors throughout the planning and design process to create a design that is unique to the Western United States. The Whitewater Center has the technology of a world class venue but also has the aesthetics and scale to blend into the existing Boathouse District Master Plan and the City of Oklahoma City.

The swifwater rescue training area provides rescuers the ability to practice in calm, moving, and class III/IV whitewater. The venue has the capability of creating practice scenarios from open swimming and live bait, to aerial helicopter rescues. The site also provides dryland practice space, a catered restaurant, and Indoor conference and classroom space.

Project highlights: •

1,305 linear foot Recreational Channel that drops 19.5 feet in elevation.

•

1,073 linear foot regulation length Competition Channel that drops 19.5 feet in elevation.

•

2 feature, combined-flow channel creates the highest volume, pumped freestyle features, in the world.

•

Pump station (6 pumps) that pumps 492,000 gallons/minute, 23 feet in elevation.

PROJECT: LEE VALLEY WHITEWATER CENTRE London, UK Project Construc�on Cost: $45 million Key Staff: Sco� Shipley (S2o)

Andy Laird (EPDUK) Lee Valley Whitewater Centre, the 2012 Olympic Venue, Project Dates: Spring 2009- Summer 2010 has a thriving Swiftwater Rescue training program. S2o Reference: Andy Maddock, Program Director, /EPDUK were commissioned to complete the design for Bri�sh Canoeing, this Olympic Venue on a rush basis. Within four months andy.maddock@gbcanoeing.org.uk of receiving authority to proceed, our team reviewed all pertinent materials, recreated the entire drawing set, created both computer and physical models, and completed design documents for the most modern whitewater park in the world.

The S2o/EPDUK team continued to work with the Client to implement the design for construction, including construction oversight and project commissioning. The completed project was approved by the ICF, who cited the modeling and design as the most advanced and predictive ever used for a whitewater park. The facility has then gone on to host a full program for swiftwater rescue training--a use not anticipated prior to S2o’s involvement.

The Lee Valley Whitewater Centre has been a tremendous success with athletes as well as first responders, who reference the facility as ideal for their uses. Users also applaud the RapidBlocs moveable obstacle system, innovated by S2o and EPDUK for this course, as created a robust and adjustable system that adapts to the needs required. The movable obstacle system is a tremendous step forward from previous systems, and is the future of whitewater and swiftwater channels.

Project highlights: • S2o completed a remake of the master plan design documents, and created computer and a physical models within 12 weeks of receiving a contract.

• The facility provides anchoring points for all types of rescue scenarios, including vehicles.

• Used advanced physical modeling to accurately predict flows and key features.

• S2o and EPDUK worked with the contractor to ensure a fast and cost efficient build.

• The project is equipped with the patented RapidBlocs™ obstacle system.

iii. Describe your company’s process for the selection of subcontractors in accordance with the statutory procedures required for the solicitation of subcontractors, including your process for evaluating subcontractors’ performance while also incorporating a Small Business Development Program.

Selection Procedures We begin the selection process by identifying the percentage of participation the institution requires.

This gives our team an understanding as to whether the institution has a base line, a preferred level of expectations for their business services, as well as to discover the past history and performance of various HCC / First Responders Training Facility

HUB/MBE/WBE firms from the institution’s perspective based on their past performances.

s m all b us in e s s p r a c t ic e s

The next step is to assess the type of consulting opportunities the specific scope of work has and the skills required. With this knowledge, we then begin to identify local or regional firms / consultants with the experience and expertise to meet the project needs. We also look for teaming opportunities with smaller HUB/MBE/WBE firm with good reputations that could benefit from a monitoring opportunity with larger and more qualified firms.

During contract negotiations, we monitor the percentages of the fee spent on the HUB/MBE/WBE partners. We work extremely hard to ensure they have the opportunity to develop their skills for future projects.

Once in a while, we fall short of the HUB/MBE/WBE participation recommendations, and that usually is driven by the complexity of the tasks and the inability to find a HUB/MBE/WBE firm that has the experience, the willingness to take a risk, or simply that they are unable to support the project due to their size. This does not happens very often, but it has happened.

For this project, we have followed the procedures outlined in the RFQ from HCC. iv. Provide a reference list of all customers noted in Tab 4 above that included a Small Business or similar program where you have performed work similar to the type of work described in this RFQ. Provide the contact person and the representative who served as the Small Business Development liaison (or equivalent), telephone number and email address.

For client projects listed in Tab 4, there were no SBE requirements to be met.

i. Your definition of a mutually successful “relationship” between your firm and HCC; and,

GROWTH. For Huitt-Zollars, a successful relationship is based on growth. We want to help HCC grow and we want to grow. Under Huitt-Zollars’ Corporate Ideology, our purpose is “To constantly improve the quality of life in our world”.

Improving is growing. If HCC grows, the HCC students grow and consequently the community grows.

COMMITMENT. We are committed. We desire not only growing relationships but also long-lasting relationships. We have experience to offer from various disciplines. Sharing our knowledge and expertise is a critical way to helping HCC grow. We will be unrelenting in the pursuit of our goal, which is a successful training facility. A successful training facility equals student growth, College growth and Huit-Zollars’ growth. ii. Your firm’s commitment to a mutually successful “relationship” in the form of at least three, and not more than five, specific, obtainable criteria, activities, agreements or requirements that shall, at the discretion of HCC, become features of the awarded contract and shall guide the HCCContractor relationship for the duration of the contract.

TOOLS FOR GROWTH. We want to be your partner for growth. Let us work together in creating a state of the art facility. But as we do it, let’s involve the students. Let us allow them to experience real world job activities. Below are some criteria for your consideration to develop a mutual successful relationship:

 Allow HCC students to attend some of the design meetings at our office for this training facility. This will provide direct in person experience of how architects and engineers develop the project.



Huitt-Zollars has the capability to hire two (2) HCC interns each summer during the duration of the project to help out with drafting and contract administration tasks that will help them grow in knowledge and awareness of the construction and design fields.



We will keep HCC informed of the status of the project on a timely and consistent basis. Meeting reports will be published within 48 hours of a meeting and a weekly report will be sent to HCC via email highlighting the past week’s work and project activities planned for the week ahead.



We will document HCC’s goals and objectives for this project as HCC defines success. This will be done at the beginning of the project and the PIC and PM will review these with HCC at each project milestone (completion of the Schematic Design, completion of Design Development, completion of Construction Documents, completion of the Bidding and Negotiation phase, and every three months during the Construction Phase.



Allow HCC students to visit the site with the Architect during construction. We propose 4 to 6 visits that the Project Architect can schedule to walk with them through the project.

These visits will provide detailed insight on how a project is constructed.
