RE: RFP F-24-1009 POLICE STATION LOCKER ROOM RENOVATION Sincerely,
Thomas Riggle, Architect, NCARB, AIA (authorized to submit this proposal) President
Dear Eddie,
WE’VE DONE THIS BEFORE
Thank you for this opportunity. We are a seasoned architectural team with a track record of over two decades in the industry, led by a team of experienced Architects with a collective background spanning over a hundred years.
We are currently just completing construction on the Fountain Valley Police Dept. locker room, restrooms, gym and forensics lab project. This is very similar to your project in that it is within the secured area of the building and is also on the second floor, creating some additional challenges.
We were also the architects for the Aviation Division Headquarters for the San Bernardino County Sheriff. The project included 12,500 SF of locker and shower facilities, similar to your project.
BROAD PUBLIC AGENCY EXPERIENCE
Approximately 50% of our work annually is public / agency work. As such, we are familiar with Code and Accessibility requirements as well as public bidding, grant, and Prevailing Wage issues.
We also have a California Certified Access Specialist (CASp) on-staff.
Additionally, we’ve completed a number of Public Safety projects including police facilities, fire stations, and gym facilities.
QUALITY PROJECTS : ON-TIME DELIVERY
It is what we are about and how we approach each project.
We work to develop strong Client-Architect relationships based on trust and integrity.
We are ready to go!
With your approval, we can get started right away.

(g) Had willful disregard for applicable rules, laws or regulations. b. ii.
Technical Competence c.
Teamwork of our multi-disciplinary staff and an integrated effort by our entire architecture and engineering consulting team help us to produce quality sets of drawings, resulting in fewer change orders and an overall lower project cost.
Regarding Technical Competence, we use several technologies to assist in the delivery of projects. Newforma is an integrated project management platform that provides our office with increased communication and organization workflows as well as a databased project history. It also integrates with Procore.
Deltek Ajera provides us with up-to-the-minute project status and progress reports for managing deadlines. We use Revit (BIM) for most projects and Bluebeam Studio, which allows for markup and collaboration between teams in real time.
Your Police Locker room project is fairly straightforward, in that the objectives for it are clear. Renovate the restrooms, update the lockers, finishes and materials, provide as many lockers as possible, and rework the restrooms and showers to meet accessibility requiremetns. Of note, our past experience with projects like this, tell us that both “non-gender” facilities may create a “third” restroom/locker room. And, it will be imnprtant to discuss temporary facilities, as this is key to keeping the department operational while the facility is under construction. We have thoughts for that but will need to review key objectives with you as to security, other facilities within the building, and potentially off-site facilities.
Thankfully, we are well qualified and have completed other projects very similar in scope. We know the steps and can take the ball and run with it. We will develop and deliver a comprehensive project in cooperation with you.
PHASE 01 – PLANNING PHASE / EX. DRAWINGS / CODE REVIEW
Your existing site and building plans are a great place to start. There are important site studies and investigations that need to take place prior to starting Schematic drawings. Additionally, we need to review the Program with you as this will determine what “success” looks like later in the project. We will first meet with you for the kick-off meeting, and to introduce the team. First, we want to meet with and establish a relationship with your team and your Project Manager. Our goal will be to clarify communications, distribution lists and “who to call when”.
We will create a Project Team list and distribute contact information for our team to all appropriate members, including our President, Thomas Riggle’s cell phone number. We will make ourselves available to you and have multiple possible contacts so you can reach one of our team members when it’s urgent. We will analyze the existing conditions, your current design plans, and the related supporting information. Our MEP engineers are in San Bernardino and will meet with us at the site to begin determining Points of Connection and existing services.
We will also then review those drawings and files for constructibility, code and other issues. This will help us to finalize the design. We will have a photo documentation company photo doc the Area of Work.
This will reduce the number of trips needed for information gathering and will be a reference for future work.
PHASE 02 - SCHEMATIC DRAWINGS
Then, with your input and code issues in hand, we will prepare concept drawings that illustrate the potential new layouts and how to improve the locker rooms and restrooms. We will solve the problems and present ideas to you. We will work with you to refine the concepts. After the CIty approves the conceptual floor plan, we will then select materials and finishes and design the spaces. The materials will be provided to you in physical form as well as 3D renderings of the spaces to better illustrate the designs and receive your approval.
APPROACH
7 PHASE 04 CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
From the Schematic Design approval, we will prepare the Construction Documents (drawings and specifications) for bid, permit and construction.
Detailed drawings and schedules will be prepared for Architectural, Structural (very limited), Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical systems.
Our engineers are right in San Bernardino so site access and driving over to see field conditions is not a concern. We will work with our consultants for inter-disciplinary coordination. At this point we will need final selections for all equipment, furniture and items to be included in the building and/or the General Contractor’s Scope of Work. Green Code requirements, and other Code Requirements will be incorporated into the plans to demonstrate Code Compliance to the AHJ.
QUALITY PLANS
We thoroughly review every set of drawings through our rigorous QAQC. As part of our team, James Horecka will do this review.
He has done QAQC reviews for 40+ years. He is also a Certified Access Specialist, which means he is consistently involved throughout the development of our plans to confirm clearances and accessibility, and carefully reviewing plans for compliance. We are committed to quality and will review the documents for coordination, accessibility and constructibility issues prior to bid with the goal of reducing issues in the field and Change Orders during construction.
PHASE 08 PLAN CHECK SUBMITTAL
We have extensive experience in securing agency approvals and permits and work closely with many agencies. We will start early, meet with Building and Safety, Fire and Public Works and determine their requirements to facilitate a smooth permitting process. We anticipate these plans will be checked by Jim Rossman at the County’s Facilities and not through TLMA. TR Design Group can assist the County in issuing plans for bid, although this was not requested and not currently in the contract. If Project Management is selected this can be included.
Typically the County prepares their front-end and we support that with drawings and specs. Additionally, most agencies post and advertise projects for bid through the bid boards. We will assist during bid for RFI’s and Addenda, if any.
PHOTO DOCUMENTATION (OPTIONAL AND ADDITIONAL)
As part of the service for your project, we have a third-party photo documentation company that will photo doc during construction. This service will include regular on-site GPS enabled location-specific photos and system specific milestone measurable photos. We have included this service for the beginning of the project to document the existing conditions and an optional regular / static photo doc during construction. Clients who have used this service have found it to very be valuable to “see inside” the building after construction is complete.
PHASE 05 CONSTRUCTION BID SUPPORT
We will assist you in issuing the plans for public bid. We will attend the Pre-Bid meeting and be available for RFI’s and Addenda, if needed.
PHASE 06 CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT
We can provide Construction Support up to the hours included in our proposal, including the review of shop drawings and submittals, confirm that products and equipment meet specified requirements.
TR Design Group can review (and challenge) any changes in products and materials for equivalency. Regular site visits and meetings will be attended to review progress and expedite information for the GC. We can also then assist with the punch-list review. We regularly assist agencies with Construction Administration.
PHASE 07 POST CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
We will receive and distribute the as0built drawings from the GC.
From those clear, organized and legible as-builts, we will revise our drawings for the record sets. Any information received from the GC will be provided to the City for your records. Typically the warranty and manuals go direct to the agency.
