504-522-2050 Jerry Hebert [email protected]

Company Profile:

BIM Lab

Grace & Hebert Architects has been in continuous practice for over 45 years. Since its establishment, our firm has sought to achieve quality design by adapting to rapid changes in technology, architectural styles and market fluctuations. We have completed more than 1,000 projects of all scopes and sizes with a total value of over a billion dollars.

Grace & Hebert Architects was originally established in 1967. The firm is now comprised of the partnership team of Jerry Hebert, Adam Fishbein, Jody Gascon, & Kriste Rigby. Currently, the company has over 35 employees and with a staff of this magnitude, GHA has the capacity and capability to provide professional, full architectural services on small to large-scale projects. GHA’s size also ensures that the principals are involved in day-to-day planning, design, and development of all projects. GHA’s reputation for personal and professional integrity and competence is demonstrated by our four decades of architectural practice in the community and substantiated by the numerous design awards bestowed on the firm’s projects.

GHA has become a proven regional leader in architectural technology with the firm using the latest in computer hardware and software such as ArchitTrek and 3-D imaging. This cutting edge technology coupled with GHA’s technical capabilities allows for the production of high-quality drawings, documents for construction, as well as a variety of three-dimensional drawings for any type of graphic presentation.

In order to provide exceptional client service, the GHA principals created a web-based document management system for project delivery which allows real-time access to project information. ArchitTrek facilitates communication by allowing users view and respond to documents and drawings, coordinate schedules, post updates, exchange ideas, provide reminders and store all project related items in one centralized location. Because it is web-based, the project’s items are available to users 24 hours a day.

GHA is on the leading edge of design technology with the use of BIM modeling for all of our project designs. Building Infor-mation Modeling (BIM) allows all the elements to be modeled in real size discovering conflicts which can be resolved before construction commences. BIM allows the design team and the Owner to more fully visualize and understand the building as the design evolves. This real-time virtual construction makes it easier to study design options and enhances communication be-tween all project stakeholders during the design process.

In our office we installed the new Building Information Modeling (BIM) Lab which allows all of our clients the opportunity to enjoy virtual walkthrough’s of their project throughout the various phases. The goal in creating the “BIM Lab” is to totally immerse our clients within their future space, on an 8 foot tall and 14 foot wide high definition screen. In doing so our clients will have a better understanding both physically and spatially of the project before it is constructed.

Dana Brown & Associates, Inc. (DBA) is the collaborative creation of landscape architects and planners who have practiced in diverse professional realms and geographic regions. We are one of the largest landscape architecture and planning firms in Louisiana as well as a state certified Women Business Enterprise (WBE) and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) with offices in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. In business since 2004, the staff of DBA brings amazing talent and worldwide experience to our projects. Most members of our firm are Louisiana natives who have worked extensively in other states and countries, giving our firm a unique perspective and understanding of Louisiana cultural, economic, and ecological heritage which we incorporate into all of our designs whole-heartedly.

Our philosophy is focused in planning legible landscapes that respond to the ecological integrity of the land and reflect the cul-tural heritage of its people. Dana Brown & Associates shares a distinct vision for planning in Louisiana: commitment to cultural diversity of public spaces, ecologically based sustainable infrastructure, and the clarity of simple, beautifully crafted plans and policies based on the principles of smart growth.

Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, DBA’s extensive experience includes storm water and floodplain management, transportation corridor planning, urban design, economic development, park and recreation design and construction, health center planning and construction, campus master planning and construction, GIS modeling of land use and zoning effects, community and master planning and participation, land development regulations, guideline development, regional planning, and ecological-based design. DBA also possesses the skills and resources for extensive public outreach and coordination with citizenry, stakeholders, public officials, land managers, non and for-profit organizations, and user groups to facilitate proper planning, development, and implementation.

DBA’s knowledge of Louisiana ecological and cultural systems and resiliency has engaged them in extensive technical research, writing, and illustration for the East Baton Rouge (EBR) Storm water Management Manual and propelled Dana Brown to be a technical advisor to the development of the Louisiana Land Use Toolkit, a two-year process. Dana serves on the EBR Zoning Advisory Committee and has also rewritten significant portions of the EBR Unified Development Code, including new water quality regulations and storm water management regulations that were subsequently adopted by the Planning Commission and Metro Council unanimously.

DBA is a member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and is currently working on several projects seeking LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. The firm applies these same principles of sustainability and resiliency required for LEED to other projects not seeking certification. DBA has been certified as a Disadvantaged Busi-ness Enterprise with the Louisiana Unified Certification Program through the DOTD and SLDBE Certified through the City of New Orleans.

Licensed Landscape Architect in LouisianaRelevant Project Experience: North Boulevard Town Square: Baton Rouge, LADBA, as lead consultant in a Joint Venture, designed and managed implementation of $8 million of public space adjacent to the new 19th Judicial District Courthouse (under construction during the project), the East Baton Rouge Downtown Library, the Old State Capital Building, and retail businesses. The Courthouse Plaza area of Town Square is designed to accommodate jurors and provide both WiFi and power charging outlets for their convenience. The design, which attracts downtown workers, residents, and visitors all day and into the evening, accomplishes the need for sustainable elements through the extensive use of low energy LED lighting, stormwater management, maximizing pervious surfaces and green spaces, preserving and enhancing the urban forest canopy. The design also incorporates ultra-urban bioswales along North Boulevard and converted over one acre of street paving to pedestrian space. Large green spaces and native trees accent the historic buildings and views of the Mississippi River. The use of these sustainable techniques strengthens the integrity of the design and reflects Baton Rouge’s commitment to the environment and future generations. Dillard University: New Orleans, LADillard University located in New Orleans, commissioned DBA to develop a campus landscape master plan and to design the landscape for the new East campus area. The two new buildings and their landscapes, Professional Schools and Student Union are seeking LEED Gold certification. Public open spaces are critical to the University, as it is located in a disenfranchised neighborhood of great needs. DBA designed the stormwater management systems, rainwater harvesting system, public plazas, new tree-shaded pathways for pedestrians, and pervious concrete parking for these parts of the campus. The campus landscape master plan calls for a comprehensive green infrastructure system to address both localized flooding and water quality of runoff that outfalls into an adjacent canal and ultimately into Lake Pontchartrain.St. John the Baptist Parish Courthouse: Edgard, LADesign, Construction Documents, and Construction Observation of site planting, tree protection and preservation, and layout, grading, and construction details for the secured courtyard

The Livingston Parish Courthouse will be a new 96,000 square foot, multi-story facility that will house several of the Parish’s various agencies. Primarily, the facility will be the new home of the 21st Judicial District Court - relocated from their previous crowded facility that had been a series of additions to the Parish’s original historic Courthouse building. The District currently has 9 Judges rotating between 3 Parishes. To allow for future increase in the number of Judges because of the increasingly rapid population growth in Livingston Parish, space is provided for 11 Judges Chambers and the 21st JDC offices in the new facility along with 5 courtrooms and a large Jury Selection/Multi-Purpose room. The other agencies that will be in the new Courthouse include the District Attorney, the Clerk of Court Office and the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office. The facility is designed to allow for future expansion should additional courtrooms and Judges be required. The public space will be through a security entrance into a 3-story atrium space. From there, a public information desk is provided. Access to the courtrooms, Clerk of Court, and Sheriff’s offices for public interaction is confined within a limited and controlled path of circulation that includes elevators and stairs. The new Courthouse will also feature many state of the art and modern audio/video features in the courtrooms as well as accommodating the modern paperless filing and public transaction methods used by the Clerk of Court and Sheriff’s Office. Hard copy filing and evidence storage is still an issue and will be accommodated with the use of condensed filing systems.

The structure is a significant addition to the city and the gateway to the historic downtown district of Baton Rouge. The site is adjacent to the existing 1932 Art Modern Federal Courthouse. A large grove of mature oak trees gives character to the site. The new building is designed to respond to the specific goals of the owner; (1) save and incorporate the live oak trees into the design, (2) make reference to the 1932 Courthouse with color, architectural treatment and scale; and (3) provide modern, effective facilities for the United States District Courthouse and Federal Government. Compatibility between the new and old courthouse is achieved by the use of simulated limestone architectural concrete panels with intricate detailing sensitive to the 1932’s limestone detailing. Also, the massing was reduced to relate the existing courthouse by use of the basement areas with below grade gardens.

Originally constructed as the Great Hall for the 1984 World’s Fair, the New Orleans Morial Convention Center (NOMCC) currently covers 54 acres along the Mississippi Riverfront adjacent to the city’s historic Warehouse District. The architectural design of this premier convention and trade show facility, with its saw-tooth roof treatment, is both evocative of the wharves which once lined the banks of the Mississippi River and serves to channel rainfall directly into the river.

Constructed in three building phases, the NOMCC includes 1,100,000 square feet of continuous exhibit space, a 4,000-seat theater, two large ball-rooms, more than 60 meeting rooms, and a 400-seat restaurant. The exhibition space, subdivided into separate halls, is constructed of exposed structural steel, providing large amounts of clear span space in a single hall. In addition, an air-conditioned, roof-top pedestrian walkway provides access to the Riverfront Streetcar Line, linking the NOMCC to other destinations along the riverfront.

Hewitt-Washington participated in this Joint Venture for the New Orleans Exhibition Hall Authority. The project consisted of a 1.7 million square foot expansion of contiguous exhibit space. An added feature is the state of the art auditorium called the “best of its capacity in the region.”



Hewitt-Washington participated in this Joint Venture for the City of New Orleans. The project consisted of the new construction of approximately 35,000 square feet, state-of-the art arena located in downtown New Orleans. The arena hosts professional hockey and basketball teams, concerts, and other events.

INCLUSION


DBE Participation: CDC CourthouseThe PFIC team believes in the importance and nobility of including disadvantaged and local businesses on all our projects. Our construction team’s experience in bidding and performing contracts containing DBE goals within the local community brings added benefit to the CDC Courthouse project. The advantages of building a development/design/construction team around the local community are immeasurable. Employing local engineers, architects, and subcontractors has beneficial impacts to the community both financially and socially as we have seen on our many public sector jobs around the country, as well as on many of our team’s construction jobs in New Orleans.

Upon selection, the PFIC team will continue to identify and select DBE engineers and subcontractors to fill out our team. Our initial DBE team members include:

• Hewitt-Washington & Associates, a successful New Orleans design practice (DBE)• Julien Engineering, a New Orleans civil & structural engineering firm (DBE)• Dana Brown & Associates, a local, woman-owned Landscape Architect (DBE)

Our construction team has established and proven programs in place to exceed expectations for DBE participation. To further improve upon that, we have included DevCorp on our team for initial DBE subcontractor research and outreach. Utilizing DevCorp’s extensive database and company wide knowledge of local DBE and small businesses will increase the participation of established and capable local DBE subcontractors. In addition to working with DevCorp, we will work with Job1 to facilitate the hiring of local workers both within our immediate operations team and within those of our subcontractors. We will hold subcontractor fairs and workshops in downtown, we will hold personal meetings with DBE executives at our office, and we will remain active in the pursuit of more DBE’s through our other local New Orleans projects.

Based upon CORE’s experience in constructing the 19th Judicial Courthouse in Baton Rouge, we have already established a preliminary budget that identifies scope magnitudes to facilitate the early involvement of qualified DBE subcontractors. It is through early involvement of DBEs in the preconstruction phase that the construction team is able to exceed the minority goals without negative impacts to the overall budget or construction schedule. Early indications support the belief that a goal of at least 30% DBE participation on this project is achievable.

While some of the larger trades (mechanical, electrical structural steel, concrete) offer a more limited DBE pool, we will work with our subcontractors to provide additional opportunities within the larger scopes of work to further the DBE participation.

DBE History—Nationally & LocallyBeyond our primary DBE team members, the majority of our DBE participation will be on the construction team, led by CORE Construction Services. As a Federal Military Contractor, CORE has an excellent record of working with small and disadvantaged businesses and subcontractors on all their projects. On their past and current military projects, CORE has met and exceed Federal DBE goals ranging from 20% to 75%. These DBE certified businesses have included woman-owned, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran owned, minority-owned, 8(a) businesses, small businesses, and disadvantaged business enterprises. Recent examples include their success in reaching a 35% MBE/WBE goal on a $200 million military housing project at Fort Polk, LA (Shown Right). Historically CORE has averaged over 50% Disadvantaged Business participation on their federal projects.Locally, CORE has been a leader in the contracting industry for the DBE program for the Recovery School District. CORE was

recently awarded three RSD school jobs, including the renovations of Drew Elementary and McDonogh 42 Elementary, as well as the construction of the Dr. King Charter School at the Lawless High School site (groundbreaking shown below). On all three projects CORE will exceed the Recovery School District’s DBE goal of 25% participation.

CORE can proudly list multiple examples of successful working relationships with DBE’s in New Orleans, including:Livers Construction, EA Biggs, A-1 American Fencing, Joseph Electric, River City Fire and Rufinos Painting. Beyond CORE’s own projects, they have continued work with Joseph Electric, assisting him on a bid of his own at the New Orleans International Airport, a project on which Joseph Electric was the successful bidder.

On the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Charter High School, CORE is planning to contract with local DBE’s including Baker Ready Mix, Rufino’s Painting, Kenall Inc., Phoenix Construction, Cyclone Fence, and Disposal Services, Inc. Beyond the initial subcontracts, they are working with Jacobs/CSRS and Job1 to hold a job fair at the Dr. Martin Luther King Charter School in January 2014.

DBE Workshop: The Contractor Series with Urban League of New OrleansUnder the guidance of Urban League Director Lynette Colin, CORE recently planned and presented the first workshop in a “Contractor Series” led by the Urban League of New Orleans and the RSD/OPSB, which was held at the Xavier University Convocation Center Annex on August 24, 2013. This workshop was the product of many meetings with the RSD, OPSB, Bright Moments, Urban League, Jacobs/CSRS, and multiple DBE subcontractor representatives, including the President of the Alliance for Minority Contractors, Louis Livers. The meetings were incredibly informative, allowing the CORE team to shape the workshop to meet the needs of the subcontracting community and small businesses in general. The workshop became what will be the first in a “Contractor Series,” put on by Urban League.

The CORE Contractor Series workshop presentation (shown below) covered a variety of topics, including:• CORE’s recent awards with RSD/OPSB • Marketing to General Contractors• The design build process • Bid and proposal writing • Reviewed sample bids and scope sheets • Bidding software (Planswift & SmartBid)

“The 1st session of The Urban League’s Contractors’ Capacity Building Training Series was a huge success. The event was the direct result of CORE Construction’s commitment to provide real opportunity for DBE’s to access substantial construction contracts. New Orleans area DBE and minority construction companies are the direct beneficiaries of CORE’s commitment to economic inclusion in Orleans Parish School Rebuilding projects.” — Lynnette Colin, Director, The ULGNO Business Resource & Entrepreneurship Center

“I’ve never experienced this level of commitment from any other Prime Contractor in New Orleans. CORE’s estimating team has assisted me tremendously, both in work I’ve done with CORE, as well as my other individual projects.” — Louis Livers, Owner/Operator, Livers Construction

“I am really impressed by CORE Construction. They have set the bar for other Prime Contractors. This is the first time a construc-tion company has provided this level of specific information. I was particularly impressed by All of CORE’s Key Staff providing detailed information, from estimators to technical staff to marketing professionals. Their outlook to help subs(contractors) is genuine.” — Tyrone Ralph, Owner, Disposal Services


INCLUSION


CORE’s commitment to DBE’sCORE Construction has been a leader in advancing the DBE program for the Recovery School District. CORE Construction is the only prime bidder to issue a first tier contract to a Mechanical/Electrical subcontractor (Joseph Electric) on a major construction project with in the RSD program. Beyond CORE’s own projects, they have continued work with Joseph Electric, assisting him on a bid of his own at the New Orleans International Airport, a project on which Joseph Electric was the successful bidder.

CORE is seeking and establishing relationships with other small, local general contractors and subcontractors for other institutional projects around the Greater New Orleans Metropolitan area. One example is our recently established relationship with Livers Construction, a small New Orleans General Contractor and DBE. Owned and operated by New Orleanian Louis Livers, the company has been a successful but small general contractor in the New Orleans metro area for over 20 years, working on job-order contracting for Xavier and Tulane Universities and miscellaneous residential projects. In August 2013, CORE and Livers formed a formal JV for the pursuit of projects in New Orleans. In addition to the Joint Venture pursuits, Core has mentored Livers Construction on matters of preconstruction, accounting, risk –mitigation, subcontract relations, and operational procedures. As a result Livers recently was awarded his largest construction project to date - a $3 million new construction project at Southern University of New Orleans in October 2013. CORE has committed operational support to Livers assure that the project is successful. CORE anticipates this relationship to be mutually beneficial for years to come.

716. PROJECT APPROACH


Development & Financing Approach

The PFIC team offers a full range of comprehensive services that satisfy every aspect of development involving the JBC, design team, contractor, and operator at the beginning of the planning process. This core team remains in close contact throughout the entire project so that every step is anticipated, managed, and resolved in a professional manner.

We foster a spirit of teamwork, trust and cooperation to meet the JBC’s objectives. Our experience with public/private partner-ships is the foundation that allows us to address the JBC’s concerns and goals, efficiently manage the development process, and create a project of which the JBC and the community can be proud.

Our development program transfers the design, construction and financing risk from the JBC to the private sector. We will work with the JBC to:

1. Determine the JBC’s development objectives including function, design and budget by:• Analyzing design versus cost to determine the most efficient construction plan through a continuous design/bud-

geting process including value engineering, constructability review, and schedule conformance.• Leading the team effort with solid recommendations and professional direction.• Overseeing the development schedule and budget proformas. The JBC will be notified immediately if any aspects

of the schedule or budget changes.2. Arrange the financing by employing creative financial arrangements tailored to meet the JBC’s needs. We have several differ-

ent lease programs that will give the JBC the most cost effective financing available in the market.

3. Supervise the design and construction. We encourage the full participation and approval of the JBC staff during the design and construction phases.

4. Operate and maintain the facility for the life of the project at mutually agreeable terms.

The terms of our proposed public private partnership are as follows:

Project: An approximately 220,000 square foot facility which will house the Orleans Parish Civil District Court, Clerks, First City Court, Notarial Archives, Mortgage Office, Conveyance Office, Civil Sheriff and Constable. An approximately 55,000 square foot secure parking garage will also be included.

Master Lessee: Orleans Parish Judicial Building Commission.

Operations & Management: We propose to use SRSA, a local New Orleans based firm.

Project Cost: To be determined based on final plans and specifications.

Master Lease Term: The JBC will master lease the Project for a period of up to 30 years. Title to project reverts to the Master Lessee for $1.00 at the end of lease term and/or payoff of financing.

Interest Rate: Tax-exempt.

Average Annual Lease Payment: To be determined based on final plans and specifications and Lease Term.



Project Revenues: All Project Revenues generated by the facility after maintenance and operation expenses will go to the Master Lessee.

Professional Fees: All fees and expenses of professionals (including architectural, legal, engineering, and environmental), construction interest, cost of construction, site work, cost of issuance, development, consultant and program management fees, and all other costs for the project will be included in the total financing package.

This proposal is non-binding and subject & conditioned upon final plans, project cost, market conditions, and executed written agreements between the parties.

Site Acquisition Approach: SRSA (Steve Reisig) worked hand in hand with the CDC through Kenneth Burrell and the law firm of Sher Garner to secure a site at the corner of Poydras and Loyola. For a period of 6 months beginning in February 2005 through August 2005 we worked on various options including a “Build to Suit” by the landowner to an outright purchase of the site. SRSA assisted the CDC working with architects, the land owner and the Industrial Development Board to determine the viability of the project for the “NEW OR-LEANS JUSTICE CENTER”. The ultimate decision was to purchase the property outright and terms were being documented when Katrina struck on August 29, 2005, putting the project on hold.

Duncan Plaza option: Certainly the Duncan Plaza site is a viable candidate. Discussion of this site and its Pros and Cons will be included in the overall site analysis and the matrix comparison. A few of the pros and cons are listed below.

Other opportunities: In addition to Duncan Plaza, SRSA will identify all viable land sites in the Central Business District and any existing buildings that could be retrofitted to accommodate the CDC facility. We will work together with the architectural and construction team to provide a matrix that analyzes the pros and cons of each site including acquisition costs, location and public accessibility, parking and overall presence that the CDC facility deserves.

CONSTRUCTION APPROACH:

PFIC has selected CORE Construction to act as the Design/Build contractor for this project based on their vast national municipal experience, as well as their past performance as the GC for the 19th Judicial Courthouse in Baton Rouge. CORE has been delivering design-build projects for more than 25 years across the United States. They have completed nearly 150 design/build contracts with architects ranging from small design boutiques to international architectural practices. These projects have been for K-12 districts, cities and municipalities, universities, private developers, the United States Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and the United States Corps of Engineers (USACE). The CORE New Orleans office alone has completed over $450 million in design-build contracts for the USACE and NAVFAC across the Southeastern United States, from Texas to South Carolina.

From this vast and diverse experience CORE knows that the key to a successful design/build is constant communication between owner, designers, and the construction team. This communication begins at the onset of programming, and must continue through the entire design phase, constructability reviews, bid packaging, all the way through the grand opening of the Courthouse.

Communication with NeighborsCommunication and constant flow of information within a community is paramount to any construction project to ensure support of the project, particularly in the case of a highly visible project such as the CDC Courthouse. Regardless of whether the courthouse is built in Duncan Plaza or at another site in the Central Business District, the courthouse will be built in a very dense urban area, which will impact tenants and neighbors in the surrounding buildings for several blocks in each direction. The flow of traffic, the noise from construction, the impact to events downtown, parking availability, etc, will inconvenience the citizens who work and live downtown.

Our team will be cognizant, empathetic and accommodating at every opportunity, and will communicate that goal with the nearby neighbors of Duncan Plaza (including City Hall, the Lasalle Street Parking Garage, the Tulane Med Center Parking Garage, the Warwick Hotel, Benson Tower and the multiple high-rise office buildings on Poydras, and even the Superdome/New Orleans Arena). To give these tenants forewarning of our construction schedule for heavy delivery days and staging movement days (arrival of cranes, delivery of heavy materials, etc), we will hold project update meetings near the jobsite, as well as maintain an email database for impromptu updates and warnings for unforeseen circumstances.

Construction Schedule: phasing of construction and multiple bid packages to meet the Aug. 15 2014 deadlineIn order to meet the August 2014 deadline to bid the first contract of this job, our team will move as efficiently and quickly as possible. To meet this goal, we will plan to release multiple bid packages throughout the course of construction so as to complete design and begin construction concurrently.

Upon receiving a notice to proceed, the design/build team of CORE+GHA+HWA and Walker Parking Consultants will immediately initiate a 2-week program verification phase with the JBC. Programming will be reviewed to determine if any additional programmatic elements are required, verify square footages, create a square footage chart to determine total square footages and potential cost of construction. Simultaneously we will work with SRSA and PFIC on zoning requirements throughout the site acquisition phase (if necessary). This will be followed by a 6-week schematic design phase, with interval design review sessions with the JBC for feedback on site usage and aesthetics. The designers will also begin engaging the consultants necessary for a courthouse design, such as acoustical designers, lighting designers, M/E/P/Fire engineers, interior designers and AOS).

Upon approval of the owner on the schematic design of the project, the design team will continue developing drawings, AutoCAD plans, and 3-D models and renderings throughout a 4-month DD/CD’s phase. The building will be completely detailed out, including all roofing details, joint details, detailed hardware schedule, door/window schedule, mechanical details, electrical details, plumbing details, etc. are all complied to complete a full construction document set of drawings. All Consultant drawings are to be submitted to the Architect within the first 6 weeks of the Construction Documents phase so that the Architect has 3 weeks to coordinate and incorporate into the final Construction Document package.

All site details need to be complete within 3 weeks of the construction documents phase so that site can go to bid before the



completion of this phase. All plans will have already been assembled and approved during the DD phase, only site details remain for this portion to be bid out. At 50% Completion of the CD drawings, Architect to submit permit set to the City of New Orleans and to the Louisiana State Fire Marshal for approval. This approval process may take up to 6 weeks.

Initial site work (surveying, excavation, piles)The initial contract on a 9-story building in a downtown setting will be an independent geotechnical survey to determine the type and size of the deep foundations. We anticipate this will be accomplished by the use of Augercast piles, which would eliminate the noise and vibration concerns associated with traditional pile driving. The subcontract for the survey would be issued immedi-ately following prime contract award. Within 2 months after award, the design package for demolition, sitework and foundations will be completed. From there our sitework contractor would mobilize and begin demolition and preparation of the site for foun-dations. The sitework will take about 2 months with the deep foundation work starting upon its completion.

Impact on TrafficRegardless of which site is chosen for this project, the proposed 26-month construction schedule of the courthouse will undoubt-edly impact the events that take place year round in downtown. A long-term traffic plan will need to be prepared to minimize impact on the citizens and workers of the Central Business District.

While constructing the Duncan Plaza site is the most attractive, it will also have the greatest impact on the largest number of neighbors. The site’s proximity to the Superdome, the New Orleans Arena, the New Orleans Library, Tulane Medical Center, City Hall, and the existing Civil District Courts building will affect thousands of people on a daily basis. Therefore the PFIC team will initiate a plan to address concerns before they arise. We will contract with a traffic engineer to analyze existing traffic patterns and work with our in-house schedule manager to efficiently plan the delivery of materials, the blocking of street parking, and any possible short-term street closures. We will remain cognizant of our disruptions to our neighbors, and work as quickly and efficiently as possible to prevent unnecessary traffic delays.

Safety ProgramSafety, Health, Security, and the Environment are the highest priorities for CORE both on and off the construction site. The Court-house site will be an incident-free project from mobilization to the beneficial occupancy date for any construction personnel and civilians that will be in close proximity to the construction activities.

Our construction team will work with PFIC, our design team and Project Manager James Baker to develop job-specific safety strategies that will be supervised, monitored and adjusted on a daily basis. At the start of each day, these plans will be conveyed to all individuals working both on and off the job site. Our team will empower each individual on the job-site with the knowledge to work safely and the power to “stop the job” if any infractions are observed. Additionally, CORE will empower our Safety Man-ager, Eugene Naquin, to terminate with cause anyone unwilling to comply with the team’s safety protocols. 100% of all CORE Construction employees associated with this project will be OSHA Certified.

Quality, Cost and Schedule Control Approach:

Quality control, schedule adherence and cost control are inherently linked. Public sector projects such as the CDC Courthouse are obliged to efficiently and responsibly adhere to fixed public budgets. The PFIC team can demonstrate an excellent track re-cord in meeting these required budgets and schedules. We understand that the JBC has set a budget for the complete project cost based on recording fees, and deadlines to meet in order to ensure it is funded. The PFIC team will design the project to meet the JBC budget, and ensure costs stay on track throughout construction and beyond.

In terms of Quality Control, CORE Construction has completed multiple Corps of Engineer and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) projects throughout the country and has adopted several of the Military’s Quality Control management tools into our operational management guidelines. These tools include preparatory phase, initial phase, follow phase, mock-ups and inspections, which are used to ensure every project is built to plans and specifications to a quality that exceeds the clients expectations; NO RE-WORK.

When developing the project schedule CORE builds multiple layout platforms within our Primavera 6 software to show: overall



master schedule, milestone schedule, 3-week look ahead, submittal schedule and subcontractor-specific schedule. Each of these scheduling tools assist in ensuring each project is built on or ahead of the contract duration. CORE’s operational management also defines proper cost management for each project. Adherence to our clients’ budgets are paramount to our success as a business and we will ensure we stay true to our bid with minimal or NO change orders based on the decisions we make throughout the design process. Throughout the design phase, our team will utilize On-Screen Takeoff modeling software, a valuable pricing resource to the team and client group. This will give us increased budget accuracy through current pricing models, will reduce construction risk, and will help the team understand inclusions, exclusions and certain product and material quantities. Beyond helping us remain within budget, it will allow us to work on a fast-track schedule and ensure the “big picture outcome” is being achieved.

Our pre-construction team will break your project into separate headings of work such as earthwork, site utilities, concrete, pav-ing, just to name a few. Specific scopes of work under these headings will then be identified and communicated to each bidding subcontractor. For example, under the heading of Earthwork, we will ensure that all bidding subcontractors understand that this scope of work includes such things as all cuts, fills, spoils removal, etc. All of this information is organized on sheets in an open-book format that will be shown, shared and communicated.

During the Construction phase, CORE uses Viewpoint as its management software to maintain proper tracking and monitoring of project costs and modifications to ensure the project stays within budget.

Project Management Approach GHA has become a proven regional leader in architectural technology and design with the firm using the latest in computer hard-ware and software such as ArchitTrek and Building Information Modeling (BIM). Our process and full team engagement ensure that our clients arrive at a design solution that exceeds all expectations.

Design Approach The collaborative design process creates an engaging method that gives the client a clear understanding of the product that will be delivered. Being able to experience spaces prior to actual construction is the core principal of our team’s Collaborative Design process.

We are on the leading edge of design technology with the use of BIM modeling for all of our project designs. BIM allows all design elements to be modeled in real size discovering conflicts which can be resolved before construction commences. BIM also allows the design team and the Owner to more fully visualize and understand the building as the design evolves. This real-time virtual construction makes it easier to study design options and enhances communication between all project stakeholders during the design process.

This cutting edge technology coupled with our Team’s technical capabilities allows for the production of high-quality drawings, documents for construction, as well as a variety of three-dimensional drawings for any type of graphic presentation.

Integrated Design Process using BIM:Data Collection The historic significance of this facility cannot be understated. The history of the city and significance of the courts must be main-tained and enhanced while providing a secure and state of the art facility for the citizens of Orleans Parish.

A great start has already begun by bringing in The National Center of State Courts (NCSC). Chang-Ming Yeh, of NCSC, is currently working with Grace & Hebert Architects on the Livingston Parish Courthouse that is now under construction. Our work-ing relationship with Mr. Yeh adds credibility to our project team. The challenge of this project is quite similar to the situation in Livingston Parish - create a free standing courthouse within the tax base created by filing fees. With the assistance of NCSC, we



were able to fine tune the project program, plan for the future and work within the budget constraints presented to the team. The result is a courthouse under construction that meets the needs of the user and within the budgetary constraints that existed.

Since programming and data collection has already been done, our team and SRSA, can focus on the site selection. We will con-centrate our efforts on site analysis and a thorough review of the program to see if any additional efficiency can be achieved.

Document & Synthesis of Data Being part of the pre-design services this process includes detailed site and code analysis. This includes the zoning and code re-view of opportunities and constraints, building blocking concepts on the site and preliminary system selections. During this phase, we review an estimate of probable construction cost and coordinate with the owner.

Special and Mass Modeling Integrating the owner in the process of model development ensures all team members clearly understand the project’s identi-ty. This includes interior models of key spaces within the building, site and building concepts. We create a virtual model of the proposed deliverable helps to ensure project success. Having the contractor integrated in this process identifying potential cost savings and cost controls through the process.

Model Development and Systems Coordination As the model continues to develop, we begin to integrate the structural, mechanical, electrical and special systems. We will work hand-in-hand with the contractor to develop a model that includes virtual walk thru of key areas. Once again validating the con-struction cost with the owner and contractor. This includes the development of final specifications and construction documents for review.

Project Communication:In order to provide exceptional client service, the GHA principals created a web-based document management system for project delivery which allows real-time access to project information. ArchitTrek facilitates Project Team communication by allowing users view and respond to documents and drawings, coordinate schedules, post updates, exchange ideas, provide reminders and store all project related items in one centralized location. Because it is web-based, the projects items are available to users 24 hours a day. ArchitTrek also allows for web based plan distribution which saves our Client’s printing costs. ArchitTrek maintains every document produced by the project team including: Design Documents, Field Reports, RFI, Change Logs, Meeting Minutes, Project Team Information and Shop Drawing Logs.

Landscape Architecture

Historic Duncan Plaza has undergone renovations in the decades since it was built as part of urban renewal in New Orleans. The setting of the Courthouse should reflect a strong image of dignity, permanence, stability, and justice. The design of the plaza and park around the space should serve as the foyer for Courthouse - A place where the public could gather in front of this important civic building. The space can be used by jurors, attorneys, and the general public, this environment of equality should reflect the importance of the judicial branch of government. We envision the design to included small alcove spaces where a couple people could confer as well as having larger opening paces under shade for people to dwell while waiting to conduct their business at the Courthouse and utilize permanent timeless materials. The Landscape Design will feel like it was always apart of New Orleans.

Parking Structure Design:

The Orleans Parish CDC consists of three major components; a court tower, ground floor retail space, and a 150 space parking structure. The court tower is planned to be an independent building as it relates to the building functionality and architectural



appearance. The parking structure will support the court tower and be designed as a mixed use facility with retail space incorporated into the ground floor and three levels of parking above.

For the mixed use parking garage, we envision the following approach during the Design Phase:

• Complete a thorough review of the Orleans Parish Civil Court Architectural Program report.• Meet with the Client and their stakeholders while discussing the program so that we fully understand the Client’s expectations

and/or any deviations from the report that may have developed since the report was completed.• Develop several preliminary functional layout options for the parking garage that incorporate the ground floor retail space,

pedestrian vertical circulation towers that complement the Court Tower pedestrian movements, vehicular entry/exit location and ramping scheme that supports the development of retail space on the ground floor.

• Review the preliminary layouts with the Client and their stakeholders while receiving feedback on the options. During the meeting, we will discuss opportunities for incorporating segregated parking areas that could be secured by coiling grills or high speed doors. The segregated areas would be utilized to separate public parking from court employees and judges

• Incorporate the comments received during the meeting into the documents.• Review the updated layouts with the Client and their stakeholders. This process will continue until the functional layout, stair

tower, and vehicular entry/exit are acceptable to the Client.• Develop the drainage plans and preliminary structural framing while coordinating the design with the mechanical, electrical,

plumbing, and civil disciplines. The structural framing is anticipated to be cast-in-place post tensioned concrete due to the potential terroristic activity and progressive collapse design criteria.

• Develop a preliminary Probable Cost of Construction for the parking garage.• Review the documents with the Client and stakeholders to confirm the design intent and project budget.• Finalize the design and issue the documents.

During the Contract Administration Phase (Construction Phase), we envision the following approach:• Review shop drawing and product information submittals confirming that the Construction Documents are being interpreted

correctly.• Response to Contractor Requests for Information.• Attend construction progress meetings and walk the project site to observe the progress and address any issues that may have

arose.• Review Third Party testing agency reports to confirm that the construction is progressing in accordance with the design

documents.• Provide meeting minutes and field reports to the Client so that they may be informed about the onsite activities.• Address any concerns that the Client may have based on their observations.PROJECT APPROACH – PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Management Staff: SRSA will staff the office with a full-time manager and administrative assistant. The staff will handle day-to-day calls, will regularly walk the property to ensure safety compliance, cleanliness and security, will select and oversee all vendor contracts, will pay all invoices, will collect rent from tenants, will produce an annual budget, will produce monthly management reports, will process insurance claims and will be available - with the entire SRSA management team - on a 24/7/365 basis to protect the physical assets and all those who will work and transact business while on the premises.

If the work schedule allows it, and if approved by CDC, SRSA will permit its employees to manage other nearby facilities as well, and commensurately will lower the salaries charged to the CDC.

Engineering: A property of this size will require at least two full-time property engineers, possibly three, depending on the hours of operation and tenant mix. Engineers will be licensed in accordance with the City of New Orleans licensing requirements. When possible, and to save the CDC money, SRSA will share engineers with other SRSA-operated, nearby facilities. At present SRSA manages the nearby Entergy and 1250 Poydras properties. Engineers will provide general maintenance to the facility, with occasional outside vendor support for major work.



Management Fee: SRSA typically charges a percentage of rent collected to determine management fees. In the case of space used for public pur-poses – such as court rooms, judges’ chambers and affiliated spaces - we estimate the rent that would be collected if the space were in use by the private sector. The management fee does not include the aforementioned property management and engineer-ing salaries, but does include all accounting services, as well as SRSA back-office support.

Taxes: It is assumed the CDC will not be paying real estate taxes as a public building, unless a percentage of the property is used for private enterprise, and as such, taxes are owed on that portion.

Insurance: SRSA will place and maintain all insurance, including flood, property, liability, umbrella, equipment failure and all other insurance typically required for a mortgage.

Utilities: SRSA will contract for electricity, gas (if needed), water, sewer, cable, fiber and any other utility necessary for the proper operation of business. When possible, retail tenants will be separately metered for their utility usage.

HVAC: A crucial task for the engineering staff will be to provide a comfortable environment in which to work. The building will most likely have an Energy Management System with micro-temperature control ability, but a hands-on staff is still needed at times to maintain the overall system, including a cooling tower (if water cooled), circulation pumps, air handlers, belts, motors, chemical treatment and other standard components of an HVAC system.

The system may have boilers as well, unless electric heat will be used. Either way, both systems occasionally need human interven-tion. SRSA will also purchase and install air handler filters per schedule, and clean coils as necessary.

Janitorial: This is one of the most crucial, and often most time-consuming, contracts for property management to administer. SRSA will hire a third-party janitorial company for Monday through Saturday cleaning; detail work, such as floor stripping and waxing, and carpet shampooing, will be performed after-hours.

A day porter (or maid) will be needed as well to spruce up restrooms, restock restrooms, clean up spills, and in some cases, assist building engineers with certain projects. The porter most likely will work 40 hours/week.

Also in this category will be window-washing, typically performed once or twice a year, depending on the extent of outdoor grime and pollution. We believe twice/year will be necessary in this case.

Included in this category will be the purchase of janitorial supplies, with an eye on providing the best products at the most eco-nomical price. Janitorial product will also be inventoried to reduce and prevent theft.

Security: Given the nature of the work to be performed in the building, security guards and electronic surveillance will be a must. We envi-sion a minimum of two full-time guards during regular business hours, but court proceedings may require more at times. Either an NOPD detail or private firm will be employed, and we assume the guards will be armed. Security cameras and other monitoring devices, along with recording equipment, will be under the purview of the security depart-ment and management office.

Life Safety: SRSA will make sure the fire alarm system, sprinkler system, fire extinguishers, fire pumps and other life safety equipment are regu-larly inspected and tagged as necessary.



In the event of a fire alarm, we’ll investigate the cause of the alarm and assist with evacuation, if necessary. We will also silence the system and reset equipment, assuming no fire, and will assist the NOFD upon their arrival.

Elevators:Elevators are typically placed under a contract with a professional elevator service company and we would do the same here. SRSA will make sure the elevators are clean, well-lit, ventilated, running properly and timely. We’ll also assist tenants with move-ins and move-outs, as well as with furniture deliveries and other situations that may require protecting the elevator interiors, and placing the elevator in manual control.

In the event of an entrapment, SRSA will be the first respondent before the elevator service company arrives. We’ll keep those inside as calm and as reassured as possible until help arrives.

Waste Removal: This service will be handled through an outside trash hauler, with pick-up most likely occurring Tuesday through Saturday morn-ings. Management will make sure the dumpster enclosure area is kept clean and void of odors.

SRSA will institute a recycling program as long as there is a ready-market for the recyclables. In particular, paper, cardboard, plastics and metal will be removed from the waste stream.

Landscaping:SRSA will hire third-parties to provide interior and exterior landscaping, both for permanent plants and seasonal color. Interior plants will be placed in the main lobby and in each elevator lobby.

If allowed by law, we will also provide holiday decorations, such as a Christmas tree (artificial may be required by the fire code) and poinsettias.

Exterior seasonal color may consist of two or three plantings a year, using pentas, petunias, begonias and other varietals.

Pest Control: A vendor will be employed for monthly spraying of such common areas as restrooms, break rooms, utility closets and other areas that may harbor vermin. In New Orleans, periodic ant control is also necessary for “sugar” and “crazy” ants, which can harbor disease.

Telephone/Data: While not necessarily an on-going expense for a building, SRSA will work with AT&T, Cox, TW Telecom and other vendors wishing to bring cat fiber into the building. This will allow tenants to have cutting edge technology literally at their fingertips.

Supplies: SRSA will oversee the purchase of supplies not specifically mentioned above. This will include electrical supplies, plumbing sup-plies, light bulbs and ballasts, basic tools, shop towels, flags and other incidental materials needed.

Parking Garage: SRSA will oversee the maintenance of the garage, including cleanliness, changing of light bulbs, monitoring of life safety systems and cameras (if any) and restriping. SRSA will also hire a parking lot vendor to collect fees and issue access cards, as necessary.Other: Other services may be needed or wanted, but hard to determine at this time until further information on the building is available. This could include metal maintenance, music in elevators/common areas and other amenities.

Work Orders: SRSA will use the Yardi work order system to track all engineering work, rather regularly scheduled or a one-time task. This means all tenant calls for service will be monitored, allowing us to know the number of calls made by each tenant, the nature of the call and the speed in which the task was performed.



The system will also allow us to monitor all work performed on each piece of equipment, from the point it was put into service to its eventual replacement.

Accounting: As part of the management fee, SRSA will collect all rent, pay all bills and provide a monthly accounting of all funds to the CDC. We will also produce an annual budget, and after approval by the CDC, use that budget as the road-map for expenditures for the up-coming year. Any expenditure not budgeted, excluding certain emergency situations, will be cleared first with a representative with the CDC.

SRSA will also perform end-of-year reconciliations, billing tenants for “base-year” overages, and will notify tenants of rent increas-es - whether stipulated base rent increases or projected expense increases.

All vendors will be required to have appropriate levels of insurance and will be required to complete 1099s.

Conclusion: There is far more that goes into the management of a large office building than meets the eye. In addition to the major categories addressed above, property management intervention is needed to resolve disputes between tenants, to keep vendors in check, to work with city officials on municipal problems - such as burned out street lights, pot-holes, traffic congestion and abandoned vehicles – and to keep up with the latest fire codes, ADA codes and other city, state and federal regulations.

EquippingPFIC has selected aos architectural interiors to assist with equipment, furniture and furnishings planning and execution.

Equipment Programmingaos will work very closely with Grace and Hebert to interview representatives of each occupant agency to understand what their specific needs will be as it relates to equipment, furniture and furnishings. Programming of needs will be done in great detail.

Equipment Design, Budgeting and PlanningThis programming information will be used to build a bill of materials/equipment needed for the project. Componentry will be space planned for functionality, aesthetics and code compliance. Budgets will be prepared and ultimately specific equipment selections will be made.

Equipment ProcurementProjects of this nature (public) are eligible for procurement via a number of different contracts and procurement platforms that assure lowest possible pricing. Contracts such as the State of Louisiana (Office of State Purchasing) contracts and cooperative purchasing agreements like U.S. Communities Contract are possible sources for this type of procuring. Use of these types of contracts/agreements are in compliance with Louisiana state law.

Equipment Installationaos is a licensed contractor in the state of Louisiana specifically for the specialty area of furniture, fixtures, millwork, and institutional equipment (license # 14210). aos will coordinate with the team the physical installation of the furnishings. aos maintains adequate staff, insurances, material handling equipment, transportation equipment and warehouse/staging facilities to responsibly and cost effectively execute such an installation.

Equipment Trainingaos will play the lead role in educating agency personnel on the proper use of equipment installed in the facility.

Equipment WarrantiesWarranties will be a factor in specific equipment selection and aos will service the various warranties of the specific equipment procured after initial installation and through the life of these warranties.
