May 11, 2018 Charles Gantt Director of Planning, Planning and Project Management University of Rochester 271 East River Road Rochester, NY 14627 Re: University of Rochester - New Sloan Performing Arts Center Dear Members of Selection Committee, Wilson Butler Architects (WBA) is pleased to submit for your consideration the following qualifications and fee proposal for the new Sloan Performing Arts Center at the University of Rochester. When we received the thorough but brief RFP, we were pleasantly surprised. In contrast, we are often the recipients of lengthy requests that seem to be more about filling out forms than getting to the true crux of the matter – determining the best, most qualified firm and team to guide you through your challenging project.

We are a firm unique in our focused dedication to architecture for the arts. Our projects span a wide range within this specialty area, including new and renovated educational arts facilities dedicated to students of the performing arts, civic performing arts centers, the restoration and expansion of historic theaters and the design of state-of-the-art entertainment venues. With this singular focus, WBA can bring to our clients an unsurpassed wealth of knowledge regarding this complex building type, while successfully leading multiple constituent teams and projects from programming through design and construction/occupancy.

We understand the challenges that are at the core of this building type, the concerns of multiple stakeholders often involved, and how to design for the future of the performing arts at the University of Rochester campus. To achieve this goal, the process and subsequent solutions will require extraordinary attention and innovative thinking to clarify and translate the visions of the University of Rochester. It demands a team completely familiar with bringing complex projects to fruition under the constraints of time and budget. Uncovering elegant, functional solutions is what we do.

We are enthusiastic at the prospect of working with the University of Rochester and are prepared to begin immediately on your exciting project.

Sincerely excited by this opportunity,

Scott C. Wilson, AIA Director, Wilson Butler Architects scw@wilsonbutler.com

Project Approach

Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center at Auburn University

OUR APPROACH “If you build a performing arts center, a lot of people think you build this great spectacular sculptural building and then you put a theater in it. We do it just the opposite. We actually start with the stage, then we design the audience chamber, and then you want to create the intimacy. You’re trying to create the most intimate experience between the performer and the audience.

And you want them to feel they’re as close as they can be with no distractions or interruptions.” SCOTT BUTLER, DIRECTOR | WILSON BUTLER ARCHITECTS A TRULY COLLABORATIVE PROCESS Architects and designers frequently throw around certain words - at the top of the list: collaboration. We all have a unique process for involving stakeholders and clients, but often it results in working in a vacuum and coming to a user meeting with ideas of what the designer wants to do and what the designer’s statement is. However, we know this is not about us, it is about you. We think our process stands out as one that indeed takes into account all voices and tools at our disposal. Our process ensures you understand the process and why every design decision and direction was made so that you are fully integrated into the process.

First, we facilitate the client meeting. When we say facilitate we mean we let every voice be heard. We apply our knowledge and experience and work together to come to a consensus with unique design solutions. Secondly, we are expert distillers - we flesh out what is most important and develop the driving goals and systems to guide the project. Lastly, we communicate, organize and manage the systems, the relationships, the progress, the process and the people in a consistent, structured yet flexible manner.

OVERALL DESIGN COLLABORATION APPROACH Our design approach allows us to share a common language with both our clients and stakeholders throughout the life of a project. This means we ask a lot of questions. We are committed to a holistic approach and an ongoing dialogue that invites everyone to contribute their perspectives, concerns, and needs. Why? Because we believe a thorough understanding of a project’s optimal usage best guides the many design decisions that follow.

We want you to feel immersed in the new spaces. We model, model again, model again and again. It can be hard to interpret a 2-D drawing or rendering, and models have proven to be the best communication tools we have - and they are trusted. We want you to be able to feel what it will be like as you experience the new arts center. It is easy to do so with models; you just have to miniaturize yourself!

In the pages of this section, we hope you get some insights into how we think, what issues are important to us, and hopefully are inspired and ready to roll your sleeves up with us. We hope this window into our heads will help convince you that Wilson Butler Architects is the right choice for your project.

WHAT WE BRING - EXPERIENCE Experience comes in all shapes and sizes: the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. What we bring to the University of Rochester’s, Sloan Performing Arts Center Project is a team that has had all these types of experiences as well as the fact we pride ourselves in learning from them.

As a firm that focuses solely on architecture for arts and entertainment, our team has been honored to collaborate with the best of the world’s special consultants in theater, acoustics, landscape and engineering. We know these national and local experts, having successfully delivered multiple projects with them. We know they have an unsurpassed depth of experience and that they bring their lessons learned to each new project.

Our relationship with Alec Stoll and Stages Consultants dates back to some of WBA’s earliest and most memorable projects. Stages Consultants is one of the world’s leading theatre planning consultants. We will work hand in hand in program validation and pre/schematic design to refine and confirm program assumptions and begin to adapt a design that is reflective of the mission and vision of the project.

Both firms share a common desire - to create memorable experiences. Stages Consultants specialists for stage machinery and rigging will work, consult and coordinate directly with the structural design and engineering team and Stages Consultants’ theater and stage lighting experts will do the same with their counterparts from the electrical systems design and engineering team.

Wilson Butler Architects and Threshold Acoustics have been waiting for an ideal opportunity to collaborate and have found it with this project at the University of Rochester. Scott Pfeiffer will provide overall acoustical consultation for the project, working closely with the full design team to ensure great sound design. Scott and his team of specialists will work in collaboration with the structural and mechanical engineering design teams to develop the ideal acoustical noise solution as well as directly with the electrical systems design and engineering team to deliver the optimal Audio/Video/Projection systems.

“They helped us imagine what we could not imagine on our own.”

PROJECT MANAGEMENT THE RIGHT LEADERSHIP

Our office is a collaborative design studio with an integrated design and project management process. We engage all stakeholders and consultants early in the process through planning workshops and design charrettes. This high-level engagement and collaboration is important for all projects, as project costs are most easily controlled with early identification of process and objectives.

From this engagement, we work together to develop an overarching design and management framework, including clear deliverables for each phase. This framework will be both technical - to address the University of Rochester’s current budget, schedule and objectives - as well as creative – to ensure we provide a design that is engaging and exciting. Our project teams grow through the life of a project, with the early design team continuing on with working drawings and ultimately, a member of the documentation team guiding the project through construction. We do not separate our office into design and production teams, as continuity is essential to the successful delivery of our projects and ultimately, our client’s satisfaction.

We are committed to achieving the best outcome for your project and bring extensive experience with university administrators and facilities managers. We live and breathe the arts and care deeply about the impact of our work. Because of our commitment to excellence, we have an enduring and respectful relationship with our civic leaders.

We have brought a seasoned project manager who has worked on many award-winning projects to lead our team. Paul Vaivoda has led complex, multidisciplinary teams to deliver a variety of projects across markets. His expertise in successful execution will enable our local team to exceed the University Rochester’s expectations. He is supported by a highly collaborative and engaged team ready to support and supplement this level of service.

WHAT PAUL BRINGS TO THE NEW SLOAN PERFORMING ARTS CENTER: As the firm’s Higher Education Practice Leader, Paul oversees the HEP studio and directs several of the office’s most complex performance space venues. With over 30 years of experience, Paul has worked across a number of disciplines, from interiors to architecture and urban design. His projects have received recognition for their innovative designs and achievements in environmental performance. Through his leadership in higher education projects, he has gained a trusted reputation with administrative officials and senior managers. Paul thrives on the complexity of managing project teams and enjoys working with clients and consultants as part of a dynamic multi-disciplinary team. Paul has been heavily involved in our firm’s most recent performance venue, the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center at Auburn University.

Paul is currently working with Berklee College of Music on a site study review.

Client service is our number one priority. Paul will be the primary point of contact for your project and will manage the entire Wilson Butler Architects in-house team and external consultant teams. Paul will work closely with the University of Rochester to monitor budget and schedule, and to think strategically about how to achieve project success.

“On campus, in the audience or onboard: it’s memorable spaces and people that enrich our lives.”

SCOPE CONTROL Scope control requires establishing clear scope definition. We will do this as a project team in the internal kickoff and within the scopes outlined in the preliminary study. Project cost parameters and, ideally, a new cost model will be provided by the client’s cost consultant and will inform the decision making process. Finally, project scope must be monitored in terms of project benefit. To do this, we recommend that the project team establish clear, measurable guiding principles and vision at the beginning of the project aiding decisionmaking throughout the duration of the project. Our core team is staffed with project leaders empowered to make and facilitate decisions. We request the same from the client side. Working as an integrated project team, with University of Rochester leadership and stakeholders, allows us to more easily identify when or if a scope is out of line.

We will practice the following to help monitor and control project scope: • Regular project status update meetings between our core team, University of Rochester’s project management, and leadership teams to renew project cost, time and owner benefit.

• Regular project cost and schedule checks.

• Regular internal design team meetings to monitor status of project scope versus project vision and guiding principles.

• Clear documentation of budget data, updated costs, and value information.

SCHEDULE CONTROL

FACILITATE EFFECTIVE STAKEHOLDER REVIEW OF DELIVERABLES All stakeholders play an integral role in program validation, design development and design review throughout the process. This allows continuous feedback from University of Rochester leadership and supports an efficient schedule. Our process facilitates continuous, clear and informative presentations with subsequent delivery of comprehensive meeting notes. Stakeholders will be asked to review/clarify comments and expectations and respond in a timely manner. This confirms project design direction throughout the process and enables on-time delivery of project deliverables at each project milestone.

COST CONTROL

QUALITY CONTROL MANAGEMENT

We must vigilantly watch the budget without compromising the project goals. There are several methods with which to approach cost control.

Our Team is known for the quality of its construction documents, resulting in low change order rates on our projects. The heart of the quality control program is the quality of the people we employ. Our strategy is to maintain consistent project design and technical leadership staff for the project from start to finish.

For this project the following recommendations have been discussed within our team: •• Regular cost estimate practices – cost evaluated at the culmination of each design phase •• Parallel cost estimates – two estimating teams cross referencing information and estimates It has been WBA’s experience that the Performing Arts building type is not well suited for typical ‘rules of thumb’ estimating practices; many variables contribute to this. Having a second set of eyes throughout the process is what has contributed to our successes. We typically recommend a parallel cost estimate approach (retained by the owner) where cost is estimated by two estimating teams at our (4) critical thresholds along the design schedule – at the culmination of programming phase, SD Phase, DD Phase, and 50% CD Phase. Parallel estimates provides that second set of eyes. All areas quantities and unit costs are compared and reconciled. This exposes omissions, reveals overly conservative or overly optimistic forecasting and has allowed our clients to have realistic expectations for their project.

With these methods, the main objective remains the same: providing a second set of eyes – a checks and balance system that ultimately provides a more accurate cost estimate to the client at the culmination of each phase.

This continuity ensures that things do not fall through the cracks. We employ sophisticated protocols for plan reviews and utilize the latest in BIM clash detection programs.

Central to our quality control protocols is the “cold team” review. The cold team is made up of architects and engineers who are well versed in Performing Arts Center design but are not directly affiliated with the project.

They review the documents near the end of each phase of design for completeness, coordination, and accuracy. We believe that conducting cold team reviews throughout the process, instead of waiting until the end of the construction document phase, produces the best quality contract documents.

We have a quality manager assigned early in each project who is responsible for quality control. For the Sloan Performing Arts Center we have committed our Senior Associate, Chris Dynia, known throughout the Northeast architectural community for his thoroughness. Under Chris’ review, every detail will be scrutinized, from construction practice to the more esoteric requirements of performing arts equipment.

He or his direct reports will review the overall design approach, technical design, and constructability/scheduling impact.

SAMPLE CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATE Only WBA prepares such documents as the “Miscellaneous Metals checklists” attached that assigns all metal pieces of the building to each specification section and to each bidding vendor to avoid all confusion and make sure no pieces fall through the cracks or no overlaps.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

INTEGRATION THROUGH TESTING AND EVALUATION Design Development is the time when the team continues in-depth discussions with the University of Rochester and the specific user groups as we further evaluate and define the design with increased specificity. Design models and drawings are developed and studied increasingly larger scales – often using scale models of key elements and features. During Design Development, we expand the approved Schematic Design concepts to further fix and describe the size and character of the entire project. Here again each discipline involved in the project focuses on the systems, materials, and elements necessary to its successful implementation. Consideration is given to availability of materials, equipment, and labor; construction sequencing and scheduling, including maintaining operations, economic analysis of construction and operations; user safety and maintenance requirements; energy conservation; and life safety.

By the time the team has completed Design Development, primary and secondary design decisions have already been made. The Construction Documents delve even deeper into the details where coordination of architectural and engineering disciplines is paramount.

Thorough construction documents are perhaps the best protection for the University of Rochester and the project. It ensures the hard work and visions of the earlier design phases are maintained. Although this is the “nuts and bolts” phase of the project design, the involvement of representatives from the University of Rochester remains critically important for review and approval along the way.

ABOUT US

Calderwood Pavilion

Our focus on architecture for the arts is the product of our directors’ 35+ year careers designing performance and cultural facilities. With this singular focus, WBA can bring our clients an unsurpassed wealth of knowledge regarding this particularly complex building type, while successfully leading projects from the programming/master planning phases through construction and occupancy.

To understand the history of this success, you should know more about WBA’s history prior to its founding. WBA’s founding directors, Scott Wilson and Scott Butler, began their careers working for Benjamin Thompson + Associates, the nationally-recognized and award-winning firm that emphasized buildings are about creating a “setting for an enriched way of life.” Having spent a decade working under Ben’s design influence, they proudly continue that approach as they design facilities which meet each client’s unique requirements, respond to the individual physical context of each site, and celebrate the joy embodied in the arts. Our buildings reflect that creative energy, the character of their distinct surroundings and the unique personality of their users. As a result, our projects are distinctive without a ‘signature style.’ We take great pride in our work and the energy we apply to each challenge. More importantly, our enthusiasm energizes our clients, our consultant partners, and the construction teams. By maintaining an open door policy for our clients and designing in a transparent method, we invite all project participants to be as invested in the design outcome as we are. Employing a staff of 32, our repeat client business is a testimony to our dedication and high level of service.

Scott is a founding partner of Wilson Butler Architects, with a 40-year career focused on the planning and design of award-winning performing arts and entertainment facilities. Clients and users alike respect his ability to lead the architectural planning and design process while connecting all the dots. In WBA’s beginning, Scott, with his partner Scott Butler, developed a unique array of visual tools that allow clients to actively engage in the design process. Scott’s depth of experience includes “out of the box” approaches to stretch existing conditions, coordinate building systems and maximize construction value with thoughtful, smart, creative, often clever and efficient planning and design. With Scott as design leader, no option gets overlooked, no detail forgotten.

As champion of the WBA-brand of “hands-on collaboration”, Scott mentors our growing design staff, infusing their state of the art digital skills with a proven design approach that continues to succeed. Scott has wide-ranging experience in urban design, community realm design, and land-use that integrates performing arts and entertainment into all aspects of a campus and/or community plan. Under Scott’s careful guidance, Wilson Butler has also fostered their signature design process, blending traditional methods of conveying design ideas (model building) with the most up to date computer rendering programs. The tools they use and the approach they bring are tailored to meet each client’s unique requirements, respond to the individual physical context of each building site and, in the end, celebrate the joy that is embodied in the arts and entertainment.

OUR APPROACH EMPHASIZES REINFORCING THE VISUAL REALM WITH THE SUBTLETY, VARIETY, AND EVEN SURPRISE THAT AN AWARENESS OF THE AURAL REALM CAN BRING TO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT. COMPANY OVERVIEW

SERVICES PROVIDED

REPRESENTATIVE CLIENTS

Threshold Acoustics LLC provides room acoustics and audio/video design consulting services for performance and education facilities, worship spaces, cultural centers, and other places of public assembly. Our collective experience, based on a remarkable diversity of work, has led us to work with clients who seek intentional, well-crafted soundscapes in their buildings.

Brown University

Audio-Video Systems Design

Columbia College Chicago

Noise Control Engineering

Duke University

Sound Isolation

Gonzaga University

Our accomplished staff bring together backgrounds in music, theater, mechanical and electrical engineering, physics, live sound, architecture, and architectural acoustics. This rich medley supports our approach to room acoustics, audio/video systems, noise control, and sound isolation as inseparable parts of a whole. We apply our deep knowledge of the subject to every project, taking care to explain the scientific and perceptual basis for our recommendations because doing so frees the design team to explore possibilities with a clear understanding of what is acoustically important and why. Smart decisions, new approaches, and elegant designs can then emerge from the team as a whole.

Beyond our core practice, we apply ourselves to design projects that affect people on a daily basis, for example: serving on boards and lecturing in academia; presenting our research to the Acoustical Society of America; and contributing to new Veterans Administration guidelines for healing environments. By working through the AIA and other professional design organizations, we seek to increase awareness of the aural realm’s importance – which extends well beyond cultural events to workplace interactions, social exchanges, and the quality of life overall.

JAY AND SUSIE GOGUE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AUBURN, AL SIZE: 80,000 SF COMPLETION DATE: est. 2019 CONSTRUCTION COST: est. $50M The performing arts center is organized around two primary venues: a 1,200-seat multi-purpose performance hall, and a 250-seat flexible venue.

These two venues are linked with a transparent multi-story lobby oriented towards the art museum and major campus entry roadway, inviting all to join in the celebration of the arts. The 1,200-seat multi-purpose hall has been designed with natural, variable acoustics, orchestra pit/lift, and an adjustable proscenium, with a stage (and stagehouse) to accommodate a full range of performers: from a small ensemble or dance troupe, to a full symphony orchestra and chorus, to touring Broadway shows.

The second venue is intended to serve a variety of needs from rehearsal space, to banqueting/event space (working in concert with the lobby and outdoor “porch”) and, of course, performance space. It will not only facilitate the technical needs of a multi-media experimental theatre, but also has the additional feature of operable “hanger-type” doors that allow for performers to play to an outdoor “lawn” with a capacity of over 2,500 concert goers. The project is designed to achieve LEED Silver Certification.

CALDERWOOD PAVILION BOSTON, MA

SIZE: 38,000 SF COMPLETION DATE: 2004 CONSTRUCTION COST: $8.2M The Calderwood Pavilion is the anchor tenant in a ninestory mixed-use building on Tremont Street. The larger facility includes restaurant, retail and residential spaces.

The facility is connected to the historic Cyclorama building, home of the Boston Center for the Arts (BCA), and is jointly operated by the Huntington Theatre Company (HTC) and the BCA. The new 38,000 SF complex has a three-story interior space that includes generous rehearsal rooms, box office, public lobbies, and back of house functions.

This is the HTC’s second performance venue and the additional space allows them to expand both creatively and physically. The theatres are given distinct identities within: The Roberts Studio is designed with an unexpected red leather upholstered wall to represent the more experimental productions it houses; while the Wimberly is outfitted with more traditional wood paneling. Blue accents reference the soft blue lining that

covers the wooden interior of a musical case.

A new events venue was designed within the performance facility to address the lack of event space in the neighborhood and to provide additional amenities for the mixed-use development. Machado and Silvetti Associates and ADD Inc. designed the building’s exterior, and the mixed-use project condominium component.

TOWSON UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR THE ARTS TOWSON, MD

SIZE: 300,000 SF COMPLETION DATE: 2006 CONSTRUCTION COST: $42M Wilson Butler Architects, in a joint venture with Design Collective Inc., of Baltimore, brought the previously disparate visual and performing arts communities of Towson together in a 300,000 SF arts center that highlights the distinct individuality of each department.

The facility provides a public “frontage” space in a unified collectie village via an interior “street for the arts.” The eight venue arts center includes the renovation and spatial reorganization of the original 165,000 SF CFA building built in the early 1970’s, and a seamless addition of 135,000 SF. The AIA and IIDA-award-winning Center now includes a new recital hall, recording studio, dance theater and new “black box” studio theater, and an expanded program of studios, classrooms, rehearsal halls, galleries and administrative space for all departments.

Classrooms, rehearsal halls, and studios, along with administrative offices, create a home for the performing arts students at Towson. Spaces support the artistic and musical soul in the growth of their art. Gathering nodes and neighborhoods mesh seamlessly with the more formal performance spaces to create opportunities for conversation or an impromptu jam session. Students both learn and play in the Center for the Arts, fostering both their creative spirit and their thirst for knowledge.

HOWARD COMMUNITY COLLEGE VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS CENTER TOWSON, MD

SIZE: 42,400 SF COMPLETION DATE: 2006 CONSTRUCTION COST: $21.4M The rural campus of Howard Community College, a rich intellectual, cultural and economic asset in Howard County, is attended by 43% of county residents. The Performing Arts Wing addition to the Arts & Humanities Instructional Building was the latest in a string of projects Howard Community College had undertaken to improve the quality of their facilities in response to the College’s 2000 Master Plan.

Wilson Butler Architects was responsible for the design of the project’s three performance spaces, many of which are shared with community groups to enhance their operational use time and to further bond the community and the college. They include the 2,320 SF Dance Rehearsal Studio, the 2,570 SF, 118 seat Recital Hall, and the 3,200 SF, 108-116 seat, Studio Theatre. The 3,800 SF Black Box will serve as a flexible, experimental space with state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems for theatrical learning for both performers and production crews.

The 2,400 SF Multimedia Hall serves vocal and instrumental practice performances for an audience of 100, while educating students through a highly technical, multimedia approach to music instruction. Instruction also takes place within the Dance Rehearsal Studio.

BROWARD CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS FORT LAUDERDALE, FL

SIZE: 220,000 SF COMPLETION DATE: 2014 CONSTRUCTION COST: $40.5M In 2009, WBA was selected to develop the design for the $40 million renovation of the 220,000 GSF Broward Center for Performing Arts (BCPA), originally designed by the firm’s partners, Scott Wilson and Scott Butler in 1986 - 1987 (completed 1991), while working with Benjamin Thompson Associates.

The project was executed in 3 main phases and the facility remained open during the entire construction period. Phase I focused on the renovation of the 2,700 seat Au-Rene Theater and the creation of the new Club Level, an all-inclusive patron experience modeled after those offered in sports arenas, a first in the performing arts industry. Phase II continued with new and improved patron experiences; the new Intermezzo Lounge, Peck Courtyard, renewed lobbies and vastly improved restrooms.

Phase III concluded the main project with the grand opening of the new Huizenga Events Pavilion which was sited along the New River and the addition of the Rose Miniaci Arts Education Center. During the summer of 2015, BCPA opted to finish what they started and renovate the 590 seat Amaturo Theater as the final chapter in the ambitious project.

THE BUSHNELL CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS HARTFORD, CT

SIZE: 91,000 SF COMPLETION DATE: 2001 | 2006 CONSTRUCTION COST: $34M Wilson Butler Architects guided the project into becoming a leading player in Connecticut’s cultural life with the design of the 91,000 SF Maxwell M. and Ruth R. Belding Theater addition and the restoration of the 1930 historic gem Mortensen Hall.

The multi-purpose 907-seat addition dramatically expands the Bushnell’s ability to present cultural and educational programming. Designed for theatre, ballet, opera and symphony, it includes a ceiling mural, created by the Wilson Butler team along with Boston based artist James Piatt, AIA. The performance hall also houses offices and educational facilities for the Bushnell’s youth programs.

Mortensen Hall, the original 2800-seat performance venue, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a vital part of Hartford’s Elm Street Historic District. Its restoration, completed by Wilson Butler Architects in 2006, brings its faded glory back to vibrant life.

The transformation of the Bushnell into a full Performance Center also includes generous new lobbies with patron amenities for both theaters, as well as the 200-seat Autorino Great Hall for cabaret performances and functions, with a new box office, café, and gift shop.

BOSTON UNIVERSITY HARRIS MUSIC AND TEACHING CENTER BOSTON, MA

SIZE: N/A COMPLETION DATE: 2009 CONSTRUCTION COST: $11.4M Wilson Butler Architects partnered with Boston University’s College of Fine Arts (CFA) in 2001 to conduct a comprehensive program inventory and building evaluation. The end result was the multi-phased 2004 Master Plan which addressed immediate needs as well as laying the foundation for the future vision of the CFA. In 2009, we completed renovations to the Harris Music and Teaching Center at 855 Commonwealth Avenue, along with a new printmaking studio and classrooms at 808 Commonwealth Avenue. The teaching center replaced the existing music practice rooms located in the basement of the College of Fine Arts. The project required full demolition of the existing facility which suffered from poor air quality and unacceptable acoustic separation. The renovation provided 119 Wenger modular practice rooms, some of which were equipped with Wenger’s Virtual Acoustics Environment technology which acoustically simulates various performance venue types and enables musicians to better prepare for performances.In addition to the practice rooms, additional rehearsal spaces were provided for percussion as well as labs for ethnomusicology, piano and music technology and a student lounge.

FEE PROPOSAL The following Professional Fees are based upon the University of Rochester’s Sloan

Design Staff Hourly Rates

Performing Arts Center Request for Proposals dated 27 April 2018, and subsequent provided material (Owner’s Project Submission Requirements – Exhibit B, and Supplement to Project Requirement Letter, received 1 May 2018), including requested comments appearing later in this section. Our professional fees are a direct function of effort and the criteria set forth by our clients. With that understanding, we are always willing to have substantive discussions with our clients in order to negotiate fees that are fair and equitable to all parties.

Wilson Butler proposes a total professional fee for Basis Services in the amount of 1,495,000.00 (One Million Four Hundred and Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars). In the interest of transparency, the below chart breaks down the Wilson Butler Design Team’s professional fees by individual Consultant and Phase.

It has been Wilson Butler’s experience that, due to the complexity of the performing arts building type, reimbursable expenses are typically in the range of 6-8% of the total fee.

Given the current Sloan Performing Arts Center program, we are comfortable with a 6% of the total fee or $89,700.00 (Eighty-Nine Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars) allowance to be established for Reimbursable Expenses.

ASSUMPTIONS & EXCLUSIONS The following represent assumptions made by the Design Team and items that are excluded from the scope of services. Should these services be required or desired by the University of Rochester, the services shall be treated as Additional Services.

• •

• • • • • • • • •

No services are included for the testing, documentation, or abatement of hazardous materials are included.

The University of Rochester shall provide a complete topographic site survey including all utilities, invert elevations, neighboring structures, trees, roads, walks, etc. Additionally, an applicable site Geotechnical Report shall be provided or a Geotechnical Engineer retained by the University of Rochester for the preparation of said report. All required subsurface investigation shall be included as part of the Geotechnical Engineer’s scope of services Available as-built drawings for existing structures All existing systems (water, sanitary, electric, cogen hot water and chilled water) have sufficient capacity for the additional loading of this project and there is adequate water pressure so as to not require a fire pump.

No Life Cycle Cost Analysis for systems alternatives No design of telephone, data, communications, or security systems other than empty raceway.

No seismic design for systems or supports.

The project will be constructed with a single prime contract and issued for bid as a single package.

Above fees do not include FF&E, except that equipment that falls within the scope of the Theatre and A/V Consultants.

No U.S. Green Building Council LEED Project Certification.

No New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) studies, anticipated incentives and application process.

COMMENTS ON EXHIBIT B – OWNER’S PROJECT SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS 1.16 – It is assumed that the Catering Kitchen is intended for warming and plating only and no food prep will be conducted requiring DOH approval.

5.6 – It is assumed that Project Meetings can be attended in-person or remotely utilizing web-based teleconferencing.

5.7 – Wilson Butler has proven to successfully administer and conduct construction progress observation/review on projects utilizing a number of differing techniques, including: representation by the most appropriate Design Team member to the construction work at hand, live web-based cameras, extensive photo documentation services (Multivista), etc. We feel that instead of a predetermined weekly on-site construction progress observation/review – when there may be nothing to review - it is more important to utilize review time when it is most needed and at appropriate levels of construction. In some cases this may necessitate multiple days on site to review critical conditions later in construction.

5.14 - Record Drawings shall be the input of the Contractor‘s supplied Certified “As-Built” information into original documents. Wilson Butler Architects and their Consultants cannot verify or certify “as-built” conditions.

COMMENTS ON SUPPLEMENT TO PROJECT REQUIREMENTS LETTER (OWNER CONSULTANT AGREEMENT) 1.2.2 – The Owner acknowledges that the Consultant is relying upon the accuracy, competence, and completeness of any services or documentation provided by the Owner to the Consultant.

2.4.1.3 – The Consultant shall investigate and determine the nature and scope of only those existing University standards and practices directly applicable to the Project, and may, but is not required to, make recommendations as desirable to their revision.

2.6.22 – “Owner shall have the right to reasonably disapprove…”

2.6.23 – Mutually agreed timeframe to be determined.

8.4.1 – All undisputed payments due the Consultant from the Owner shall be paid per 10.3.1.

8.5.2 – This provision shall be mutual.

9.1.1 - In the first sentence strike “…defend…”, “…any and all…”, “…attorney’s…”, and “…caused by or resulting from…”

11.5.2 – Incomplete 2nd sentence?

14.2 – “…benefit of the Owner and Consultant…”
