PROPOSAL BACKGROUND AND PROJECT SUMMARY
City of Costa Mesa
Fire Station #4 Renovation I RFP No. 1166
Background and Project Summary
This scope of work for this project is consistent with previous assignments that we have
performed for other clients in Southern California. IDS' primary goal for this assignment is to
ensure that the City of Costa Mesa is provided with prompt, cost-effective and quality
professional architectural and engineering services.
The following presents our proposed Scope of Work, including a brief description of the
activities associated with each scope item.
Background
Fire Station No. 4 is a one-story, 6,000 SF type V-1hr construction, designed and built under
the 1964 UBC. The occupancy class is F-2, E-4, and G. The existing apparatus room is 39'-
10" X 58'-9". The dimension from the finish floor to the top roof steel beams is 16-0". The
existing apparatus bay currently housed 2 fire engines, the USAR-84, and the ME-84, and
the SCBA Bottle Filing Station.
The Fire Station requires a renovation and add on to accommodate additional vehicles and
relocate the SCBA Bottle Filing Station. The design will include the 2 options described
below:
Option 1: Extend the existing (39'-10" W x 58'-9" Q apparatus room at the roll -up door
(East) side by 201 x 16' H, to accommodate two ME-84 fire engines and one MT-84 ladder
truck.
Option 2: In addition to option 1, add a 25' W x 301 x 12' H garage adjacent but not
attached to the new addition or existing classroom structure that will accommodate one
utility and one reserve fire truck.
Description of the scope includes discussion of necessary payment of fees we understand to
be part of the project description but not the scope of A/E services included in the fee
portion of this proposal.
Project Goals
All our services will comply with the 2013 edition of the California Building, Fire, Plumbing,
Mechanical, Electrical, and Green Standards Code. Our architects and engineers are
thoroughly familiar with current accessibility regulations and federal ADA requirements as
they relate to fire station renovation and addition. We will be responsible for pulling all
necessary permits, paying all fees, and obtaining approved plans from the City.
Site Design, building architectural and engineering design will be under a single contract for
a cost of the work with a guarantee maximum price.
IDS aims to streamline the process for the City of Costa Mesa by keeping in mind simplicity,
durability, long service life, lowering future maintenance and repair costs, and reasonable
standardization of the fire station.

PROPOSAL METHODOLOGY
City of Costa Mesa
Fire Station #4 Renovation I RFP No. 1166
Methodology
Implementation Plan
Our implementation plan is based on an effective management of project and resources and
will include developing a project schedule, implementing effective communication protocol,
monitoring project cost and budget, and implementing quality control measures to ensure
quality products as follows.
Our plan is based upon a hierarchical team approach and is led by the Project Manager, Mr.
John Silber, AIA. In this plan, and as identified in the organization chart, he will assign a
Project Engineer, Architect and assemble the project team, matching the special capabilities
of our staff and / or consultants with the requirements of the project. The Project Manager is
committed to meeting staffing and schedule requirements necessary for successful project
completion.
Project communication begins with establishing project responsibilities, organizational
structure and clear lines of reporting within the consulting team. Based on our experience in
similar projects, we have developed a clear and efficient management procedure for our
services.
In this management plan, the Project Manager will give the City a single -point of contact /
responsibility for the overall contract. In addition, the Project Manager will:
• Ensure that the team is supported with the commitment of necessary resources of the
firm to respond to the project needs for a successful project completion.
■ Develop the project schedule and monitor the progress of the project through standing
team meeting and monitor the review budget at various stages. Provide progress reports
and facilitate the review of the work.
■ Monitor the technical performance of the project team, ensure quality and consistency
(QC), and ensure detection and resolution of project performance issues before they
become problems.
• Ensure that the City is clearly informed of the progress and status of the project.
• Enhance working relationships of team members and the City.
Each Project Engineer I Architect assigned for each needed discipline (mechanical,
electrical, architectural, etc.) project assignment will:
• Have full responsibility for the discipline from start to finish, immersing himself/herself in
the project and reporting progress to the Project Manager through standing meetings
scheduled at the start of the project.
• Assume full responsibility and liability for the work performed by assigned staff and bear
full responsibilities for the work.
• Attend necessary meetings, perform required site visits to project site(s) and perform
project design / design review.
Quality Assurance: Quality Assurance has been always our company's strong commitment.
We emphasize establishing and maintaining technical and professional expertise among our
staff and in their work product. We are staffed with licensed professionals, as are our sub-
J & IDS GROUP Page 2
PROPOSAL METHODOLOGY
City of Costa Mesa
Fire Station #4 Renovation I RFP No. 1166
consultants. All our professionals are encouraged to maintain membership in professional
organizations, to attend professional development conferences and to sustain proficiency
within the field of engineering.
We implement a written and detailed program for quality assurance / quality control. It
requires the review of all engineering work by a QA I QC manager who is qualified in this type
of review. The main objective of this program is to satisfy the client's need for quality work
expected from our design team and also to limit the exposure of the county from problems
that may arise during construction.
Our practice stresses response to project requirements, adherence to applicable codes and
regulations, developing work products consistent with standards prevailing in the profession
and producing documents conforming to our in-house standards established. Throughout
the course of the project our Project Manager will be in continuous contact with our team
members to ensure efficient use of the capabilities of the entire team. He will ensure that
our team understand the County's requirements and preferences as wells as to assure
adherence to the project schedules and deliverables in a timely manner. The City will be
provided with a minimum of a biweekly update of the progress of the work.
Staffing and Resources Management Plan: Our team members are guaranteed to be
available on request to serve the City of Costa Mesa. IDS has a total staff of over 70
professionals and our team members all have the depth and adequacy of resources to
successfully complete assigned projects within the County -specified time frame.
Our experience with our clients has been to furnish the most expeditious and efficient
response time available. Our current and projected backlog of projects will enable us to
provide a quick turnaround for this project. We are sufficiently staffed with licensed
engineers and designer and our team has the required specialized and in depth resources
necessary to ensure that project assignments will be performed according to schedule.
Scope of Work
The project consists of two phases. Phase I will complete the process of establishing which
of the two options will be fully developed. Phase II will see the full development of
construction documents, permitting, and construction. Both phases will be completed at a
fast paced and focused development in order to meet the City's project schedule.
Facility Performance
Based on the building's designation as an essential services facility, the performance of its
structural systems as well as its non-structural systems and equipment is of great
importance. In this project, IDS will work closely with the City to identify the impact to
systems critical to the facility's continued operation arising from the addition.
Phase I Scope of Work
Phase I will consist of development of the two options from concept to Schematic Design
alternatives with their associated probable costs and recommendations. The evaluation will
include a thorough and detailed review of the structure and systems that would affect the
performance of this Essential Facility. Statements of probable costs associated with the
each alternative will also be developed in this phase in order to allow the City to make
informed decisions regarding the project. We anticipate approximately 3 to 4 meetings with
AA IDS GROUP Page 3
PROPOSAL METHODOLOGY
City of Costa Mesa
Fire Station #4 Renovation I RFP No. 1166
the City to discuss the project during this phase. Phase I will conclude with the City's
selection of a Preferred Option Schematic Design.
1. Kickoff I Project Mobilization: Review the project goals and anticipated results along
with our understanding of the project and our plan of project delivery with the City.
Establish standing / periodic meetings and communication protocol. Establish desired
structural performance levels and acceptance criteria and identify permit requirements
for the project, including disabled access compliance, and fire -life safety improvement
requirements. Schedule field reviews and testing.
2. Document Review and Field Reviews: Review the available documents and identify
areas where additional information is required. Visit the facility to investigate and verify
the existing configurations and condition of the structure. If required, the capacity of the
existing foundations as well as any proposed new foundations will be established in
consultation with our geotechnical engineer. Soil boring and sample testing may be
necessary.
3. Preliminary Architectural/ Engineering Systems Analysis: Assess the capacities of the
structural components. Perform preliminary structural I seismic analysis and develop
retrofit schemes with a focus on minimizing facility disruption while balancing cost and
feasibility. Evaluate the proposed Scheme 1 and Scheme 2 in terms of potential impacts
to the facility operations, as well as impacts to architectural features and MEP
components.
4. Develop one Schematic Design each for Option 1 and Option 2: Development of these
preliminary concepts and review of their impact on the Facility as well as their
constructability are important at this stage of the project. IDS will ensure that its work is
focused on the identifying the most probable design solution for each option and
identifying significant roadblocks to their ultimate implementation early in the design.
5. Statement of Probable Cost: Prepare a preliminary Statement of Probable Cost for each
alternative, and present / discuss all options with the City along with their advantages
and disadvantages.
6. Report I Presentation: Submit one Schematic Design each for Option 1 and Option 2
and budget for same, and solicit City feedback. This work includes preliminary work
limits and staging plans for discussion purposes. Update concepts, work plans and costs
as appropriate based on meeting results.
Phase II Scope of Work
Phase 11 consists of the preparation of construction documents and implementation of the
Preferred Option Design and the construction of that Preferred Option. The project design
will include consideration of the facility's location, neighborhood vicinity, and use and
maintenance as a public structure. Sustainable building practices as well as the City's Green
Building design and construction guidelines will provide a basis for the design. This design
will also comply with the current Building Code and standards. Finally, our work will be
closely coordinated with the City in order to meet the project timeline while providing clear
and comprehensive Construction Documents for bid and construction. We anticipate
attendance at regularly scheduled meetings with the City to discuss the project.

Fire Station #4 Renovation I RFP No. 1166
1. Complete Design and Specifications: Prepare analyses, design calculations and
construction drawings and specifications to meet the project goals, building codes and
City standards. This design will provide innovative solutions to minimize disruption of
Facility operations and activities as well as consideration of construction costs. This will
include all necessary architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire
protection, and civil design services required for obtaining necessary permits.
2. Field Constructability Review: Take the Preferred Option Schematic Design to the field
to visually confirm constructability, and make adjustments as necessary. A key aspect of
this constructability review is determining potential impacts on building operations and
non-structural systems, and integrating this information into the most cost-effective /
least -disruptive design solution. IDS' in-house experts in architectural, mechanical,
plumbing and electrical systems and engineering will play a key role in helping to
minimize adverse impacts to non-structural systems.
3. Preliminary Statement of Probable Cost: Update the preliminary Statement of Probable
Cost at the Design Development stage to ensure that the project design is on -track and
consistent with the City's plans and budget for project implementation.
4. City Review: Although collaboration with the City will be made throughout the process, a
formal submittal of project documentation at the Design Development stage will be
provided for City review. This submittal will include the probable cost indicated above.
5. Finalize Construction Document Package: Finalization of the Construction Document
package will continue through the City review period, however, this finalization will also
incorporate any comments or concerns identified by the City during their review.
6. Final Field Constructability Review. As the Construction Documents are nearing
completion, IDS will visit the site once more to verify the documents and make
adjustments as necessary based on construction issues or other design items identified.
7. Final Statement of Probable Cost: Prepare a final Statement of Probable Cost based on
the completed Construction Documents. This Statement of Probable Cost will be
provided in sufficient detail to ensure the successful completion of the project within the
approved budget.
8. Project Submittal: Submit the Construction Document package for Plan Check and
provide support through the plan check approval process to obtain the necessary
permits. Any comments received through this process will be incorporated into the
Construction Documents. As the documents are finalized for approval, IDS will perform
final checks to ensure that bid documents comply with all owner and regulatory agency
general conditions, general requirements and construction regulations.
9. Bid Support: Support and assist the City in bidding the project and performing bid
evaluation as requested. Attend a job walk and answer questions from interested
bidders.

Fire Station #4 is located in the City of Orange,
California. It is a 1-story Type V building with a
total floor area estimated at 4,130 SF. IDS Group
conducted site investigations and reviewed the
existing structure, and performed detailed
structural analysis. The expansion / upgrade
consisted of the demolition of the existing wood -
framed apparatus bay and the construction of an
expansion in order to provide space for turnout
storage, an exercise room and a larger apparatus
bay. The existing roof diaphragm was evaluated
and retrofitted with new shear transfer and drag
connections. The construction documents of the
structural modifications and expansion also
included improvements to the kitchen, bathrooms,
sleeping quarters, and site walls and the seismic
bracing of non-structural elements.

Fire Station #28, located in Piru, California, is a 1-story
Type V building with a total floor area estimated at
3,450 SF.
IDS Group conducted site investigations and reviewed
the existing structure, and performed detailed seismic
evaluation and retrofit. The seismic retrofit work
included strengthening of the roof diaphragms,
providing shear transfer connections and drag
members, and new shear walls, and the addition of a
new two -bay steel moment frame and foundation at
the apparatus bay doors.
The review of the non-structural elements, including
mechanical, electrical, and architectural elements of
the building revealed that many of these elements are
not adequately braced for seismic loads. Failure of
these elements could lead to falling hazards and
interruption to the operation of this essential facility.
Subsequent to our findings, structural documents for

Background: Fire Station No. 3 is currently active
and serving the northern and central area of the City
of Santa Monica. It was built in the early 1970's,
but several additions have since been made
including a storage room and sleeping quarters. The
City requested a seismic retrofit of the building
which requires ADA/ Accessibility improvements. In
conjunction with the development of the seismic
retrofit plans, IDS reviewed the facility for
accessibility and is developing several options for
removing barriers. Due to the layout of the outdated
spaces, these improvements require modification of
several spaces to provide accessibility and also to
better serve the Fire Station staff. IDS also provided
an Opinion of Probable Cost for the implementation
of the structural upgrades, the accessibility
improvements as well as the retrofit of non-
structural items and equipment.
