Both areas have <br /> experienced failures with skylights which were installed approximately ten years ago. These skylights <br /> need to be replaced. It is understood that the property owner will be starting roof replacement in <br /> February, and so this project may be a high priority. The Owner has already researched replacement <br /> systems and will furnish that information to the architect. Assistance is required to secure competitive <br /> pricing to have the units replaced and moisture mitigation completed. The adequacy of the existing <br /> structure supporting the skylights will be explored and should their capacity need to be increased a <br /> structural engineer will be engaged. <br /> Verification of the existing structure and any new structural requirements and provision is required. <br /> Given the accelerated timeframe, we will want to meet with stakeholders as quickly as possible. <br /> Additionally, we will meet with you, the end users and the county commissioners and whoever you <br /> designate to be a necessary part of this process. <br /> We will provide per square foot cost estimating at the conclusion of the design development phase in <br /> order to endeavor to stay within your budget. Please understand, pricing the work is extremely <br /> challenging of late, and the fact that this project has a need for speed will likely increase costs. We will <br /> use recent experience to provide you with a ballpark cost range with which you can move forward. This <br /> cost,along with all architectural and engineering fees, are included within our overall fee. <br /> PROGRAMMING/SCHEMATIC DESIGN/DESIGN DEVELOPMENT: <br /> Smith Sinnett Architecture will work with and coordinate all members of the design team to evaluate the <br /> owner's requests and begin developing an approach to design and construction of the proposed <br /> improvements. During the programming phase, Smith Sinnett will meet with the owner's designated <br /> stakeholders to fine tune our understanding of space needs and the eventual build out of the up fit. After <br /> these conversations, we will develop a program and a preliminary budget. Initially, we expect to meet <br /> with Orange County's Planning Department to assess and meet all requirements for approvals. During <br /> the schematic design/design development phase we would anticipate attending meetings with the <br /> 4600 Lake Boone Trail, Suite 205 1 Raleigh, NC 27607 1919.781.8582 1 HUB Certified I www.smithsinnett.com <br />
