MEMORANDUM :Sent By : Date June 26, 2007 Dana Ing Crawford Attn. : Mike Penwell Project : Eugene City Hall Complex City of Eugene Master Plan-Phase 3 Facility Management Division Implementation Plan 210 Cheshire Avenue Eugene, Oregon 97401 Job No. : 0522 cc : Jonah Cohen, File Re : Implementation Plan Phase 3B Scope Description Via : US Mail Fax E-Mail Other: ???? Background and Approach At the February 14, 2007 work session, the council approved a portion of work to commence the Implementation Plan Phase for the City Hall Complex Master Plan. This work, referred to as Phase 3A, included financing and phasing explorations, public involvement activities, and public opinion research. Phase 3A work is complete and will be applied to future planning studies in the remaining Implementation Plan Phase efforts, described here as Phase 3B. This memorandum describes the proposed scope of work required to complete Phase 3B. Unlike the menu of technical services proposed in the Development Plan Phase 2, the proposed scope items described below are planned as an integrated group of efforts, sequenced appropriately such that early efforts inform later efforts in a strategic manner. It is recommended that all the scope efforts be performed to efficiently and effectively inform one another and assist the council in their decision making in preparation for a potential bond measure in November of 2008. Phase 3B culminates with a May 2008 Council work session. At or before that time, the Council may choose to proceed with additional design, public involvement, or public opinion efforts, and could elect to move forward with a Request For Proposal process to complete the design and construction documents for a police patrol facility. Technical Analysis Expanded Concept Design: From the results of the Public Opinion research we learned that a new City Hall gains significantly higher support when the bond is at or under $100 million, and that the public requires clearly distinct choices with different costs and benefits when considering which option they will support. In applying this knowledge the Project Team recommends using options A and C for master planning the wholly- and incrementally-realized full consolidation options. Explore and establish one design concept for development on one site at two levels: full and immediate consolidation, and a reduced build-out to accommodate full consolidation incrementally. Identify and illustrate major green building features that shape massing, configuration, cost and public benefit. Test functionality of divisions with more developed plan layouts. Explore building elevations. Prepare a cost model on the selected concept design to establish project budget in preparation for schematic design. Produce two high-quality renderings. 733 sw oak street, Portland, Oregon 97205 telephone 503·227·1254 fax 503·227·7818
