Remodeling for East Fire Station
65th and Dupont Avenue North

Dear Mr. McCauley,
Having received your letter requesting a fee proposal for architectural, engineering,
and landscape design for the above-referenced projects, Mjorud Architecture and the
members of our professional team appreciate this opportunity to send you this
information.
Mjorud Architecture is supported by professional consultants who are chosen
specifically for their experience with projects similar to the two fire station remodeling
projects, as well as the pump house design. For the basic services on this project,
we have selected:
❑ Ellerbe Becket for structural engineering and special inspection services
❑ Follestad & Barrett for mechanical and electrical engineering
❑ Melchert/Block Associates for civil and landscape design.
This team of professionals has worked together on many projects and is very
experienced with the special needs of municipal fire stations. We have also
included costs for other work that you may need for both projects.

Brooklyn Center Fee Proposal
October 29, 1997

We perceive the scope of work to include the following:
Scope of Work--Fire Station No. 1 and Well House No. 2
The City of Brooklyn Center intends to construct an all-new West Fire Station
approximately 16,000 sf in size. A new Well House No. 2 would be an additional
800 sf and made part of the fire station building.
❑ The existing 3,600 sf Liquor Store may be demolished and portions of the
existing 5,400 sf Fire Station may have to be removed to allow space for new
construction. All smaller buildings on this site would also be demolished and
removed. The existing Apparatus Room and Watch Room would remain to
allow continuity in fire protection of the community. Substantial completion
would be declared when the firefighters can move into the new building to
use the new facility for its intended purpose.
❑ Then the existing Apparatus Room and Watch Room would also be
demolished.
❑ The construction materials will include a colored CMU exterior skin, and
masonry bearing walls throughout. If two-story, there may be a need for a
column line with steel beams to support a precast floor with concrete topping.
We expect the entire roof structure(s) to consist of steel joists and metal
deck. Some interior non-bearing walls in the non-wet areas will be light
gauge metal studs and gypsum board.
❑ The hose tower must have a 30' clear height inside, matching East Fire
Station No. 2.
❑ Most mechanical units will be located on the roof, requiring higher roof
parapets for screening.
❑ Provide a convenient means to access this roof to service equipment.
❑ Three contractors were contacted to determine construction time. Adolfson &
Peterson, Inc., M.A. Mortenson, and Kraus Anderson Building Division all
stated that this type of project could be constructed in five to six months.
This may require preordering certain items, placing the project "on hold" until
material arrives.
❑ The new West Fire Station may be one-story or two depending on the
outcome of the Liquor Store market study.
❑ If a new Liquor Store were attached to the project, this may require an
additional 5,000 to 6,000 sf, bringing this building size to the 22,000 to 23,000
sf range. The Liquor Store portion of the complex must occupy a lower level
space and no design fees are included in this proposal for the Liquor Store.
RESOLUTION NO. 97-203

❑ The disciplines required for this project include: Architecture, Structural
Engineering, Structural Special Inspections, Mechanical Engineering,
Electrical Engineering and Landscape Architecture. Depending on work
provided by the City of Brooklyn Center, other services could include Civil
Engineering for site utilities, site grading, and a hydrological design for a
NURP pond. For example, the City may want to provide revisions and
connections to the water main without assistance from an outside Civil
Engineer. A comprehensive topographical land survey should be provided,
as will soil testing before and during construction of the building.
Scope of Work--Remodeling to Fire Station No. 2
The City of Brooklyn Center intends to remodel the interior of fire Station No. 2, as
the overall outside dimensions will remain.
❑ The major remodeling work involves the removal and replacement of interior
partitions. The diagonal non-bearing walls running into the building will be
removed to gain better use of the interior, as most of the inside rooms will be
removed and re-designed.
❑ New windows will replace the windows in the Watch Room. New windows in
other new rooms will be cut into the existing exterior masonry walls.
❑ A new generator set will be added on a concrete pad at the exterior of the
building.
A Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Room (SCBA) will be constructed
within the present Apparatus Room, requiring new footings and foundations
to support masonry walls and a precast Mezzanine Floor above. Presently,
the mechanical equipment is located on a Mezzanine above the existing
Toilet Rooms. A new catwalk will be constructed to join the existing
Mezzanine to the new Mezzanine.
❑ The entire building will be re-roofed-new roof insulation will be added.
❑ The building exterior will be painted.
❑ The interior face of the exterior walls will be insulated.
A new roof access will be included with a ship's ladder and roof hatch.
❑ The new rooms to be created and finished are identified as: Kitchen,
Recreation Room, Watch Room / Company Room, SCBA, Storage,
Conference / Meeting Room, District Chief's Office, General Open Office,
Men's Locker Room, Women's Locker Room, and a Unisex Toilet.
❑ Cabinetry with the remodeled Watch Room will be replaced.

❑ Equipment includes: generator set, washer and dryer, DeBourgh lockers
refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher. New cabinets will be provided
in the SCBA Room, Watch Room and Kitchen.
❑ On an alternate bid, the deteriorating, exterior apparatus slab will be
replaced.
❑ On another alternate bid, the existing trench drains within the Apparatus
Room will be replaced with new Poly Drains approximately twice the length of
those existing.
❑ There will be no changes to the landscaping, existing ground cover, curbs,
driveways and sidewalks, except to accommodate the generator set on the
Base Bid and a new concrete apron, bid as an alternate.
FEES
Determining Fee
The method of charging for basic services is normally tailored to meet the Client's
specific requirements. The fee may be determined as:
❑ A percentage of construction costs
❑ Hourly fee
❑ Hourly rates with a fixed limit
❑ A fixed fee
We prefer the fourth alternative, a fixed fee, whenever possible. This gives you a
clear statement of anticipated costs, establishes a budget for the work, and
eliminates fee surprises late in the project.
In the very early phases of some projects, where the scope of work is not sufficiently
determined to allow a development of a fixed fee, we would propose the use of
hourly rates with a fixed limit. This can later be translated to a fixed fee at the
earliest practical point of the project.
The range of our fees is dependent on three factors: the size of the project, its
complexity, and the extent of services to be provided. Small projects often
necessitate higher fees relative to square footage or construction costs than will large
projects. As projects increase in size, they usually have sufficient repetition in both
plan and detail to increase efficiency and reduce the fee rates. The complexity of a
facility also affects the fees.
Our preference on agreement forms leans towards standard agreements published
by the American Institute of Architects (specifically Document B141 for this project).
We feel these documents clearly define the basic services requested.
