3 e. The quotation for services from the mechanical engineer is$45,000 for SHS, as compared to $26,000 for GSC. This too must be considered within the context of the expectation of the facility. The mecanical engineer will be considerably more time involved in systems research for this project. It is interesting to note the delicate balance between the energy efficiency goal through the effective use of daylighting and the effect it will have upon the climate control systems for the building. Reece,Noland,McElrath,the mechanical consultant will work hand in hand with the design team to ensure our use of solar energy does not convert the building into a "boiler". ADDITIONAL SERVICES Services which are included as "Additional Services" in the contract, basically fall into three categories: 1. Site Master Planning, $15,500; 2. Regulatory, $26,220; and 3. Environmental and Energy related, $47,000. Site Master Planning We understand that it is premature at this point to actually site future buildings. However, we have requested that Hakan/Corley provide master planning to the extent that we would have reliable information about potential building locations on the site and associated square footage allowances. This would provide direction for future growth on the site. In addition, the resulting information will site the SHS building in a manner which will allow us to maximize the use of the land in the future. Regulatory These costs are directly related to the work that is required to prepare documentation and make presentations necessary to obtain the Special Use Permit (SUP) and the Zoning Compliance Permit from the Town of Chapel Hill. Representatives from Hakan/Corley will be present at the Commissioners meeting to elaborate on the various steps of the process. Note: Costs associated with preparations for the Town of Hillsborough's approval process for GSC is estimated to have been approximately $7,000. Environmental and Energy Related As indicated earlier in this document, a primary focus of the SHS planning committee was choosing a firm who could design an environmentally sensitive and an environmentally sustainable building. To that end, the Hakan/Corley design team includes Croxton Collaborative and Heery International Energy Engineering. Randy Croxton,a Manhattan,NY designer and a native of Lincolnton, NC, is well-known for his work with the National Audobon Society Building, NYC. The Audobon Building has a lighting budget of 0.72 watts/s.f./year. As a point of reference, the NC Building Code requires that a building be designed at 2.50 watts/s.f./year. Croxton Collaborative has developed a methodology over the last six years to address the sustainable/environmental and humanistic dimensions of designing for the built environment. Mr. Croxton Indicates in his proposal that, "In all cases, consideration is given to energy and resource conservation, indoor air quality (HVAC and material/product selection) and the life cycle impact of raw materials: extraction/gathering, embodies energy (transportation/processing), processing effects on water, land and global atmospherics. In addition, materials, products and systems re reviewed "in use" in terms of performance and humanistic impact. Final destination is considered with a view to reducing waste and landfill impacts." Heery will provide computer analysis which will test the design ideas and provide accurate estimates regarding energy and economic analysis and life cycle costing information.
