Dear Mr. Beauxbeaux:

We enthusiastically present our qualifications to join you in this tremendous venture.

The intent of this package is to illustrate our capabilities as a multi faceted design organization, demonstrate select project experience in large and tall buildings, and express our enthusiasm to work along side you.

With a long history and foundation of design and building in California, as well as significant other experience embedded in our design team, we are intimately familiar with the opportunities and constraints with this building type.

Tall buildings require attention to very specific issues and compel the design team towards certain strategies and design decisions when considering urbanistic, social, form and language, and environmental questions. These include, but are not necessarily limited to, high efficiency of space planning to optimize leasable space, rational structural strategies and solutions, attention to the urban context and the impact of a tall structure, coordination with local agencies, interest groups and constituents, and, not least of all, human comfort and sustainable strategies. In short, HMC understands the commercial, social, and civic impact of this project.

We posses both the design sensibility and technical nimbleness suited to this process and will engage you and your team with great optimism and high expectations.

We look forward to your future news and are prepared to discuss with you a more detailed proposal of our services.

Sincerely,

Christopher Taylor Christopher T. Staggs Okkwon Kim, CIDPrincipal-In-Charge Senior Designer Senior Interior Designer

dublin gateway Reflecting Dublin, her polyva-lent facets; her multiplicity, her reflections, refrac-tions and history. Shimmering...glimmering...spirit; translucent, singing, and glowing at the edge of the city.

As light harvesters, the beacons symbolize our probing, our longing. Her body and crown shim-mer-uncovering and revealing the city’s heart and life. Her base-knowingly grounded while hovering at the edge of Dublin rhythm, The Liffey, offer back to The Docklands spatial niches and throughways; gardens and places for her young and wise...places for the life of a city to flourish and inspire.

suffolk university student residence The site was historically occupied by a 360’ tall church spire. Our challenge was to create a place for students in the high density of Beacon Hill, Bos-ton. Working directly with the Boston Civic Design Commission and historic Beacon Hill community, the design solution challenged surrounding zon-ing requirements, is configured as a daylight harvester, and speaks directly to the material and proportional context of its environment. This is a LEEDS registered project.

Project Approach

I n t e g r a t e d D e s i g n H i g h P e r f o r m a n c e

26 27

Project ApproachOur general scope of professional service

shall be to refine and implement an efficient

and functional design that is constructible,

while maintaining your budget, schedule, and

satisfaction. HMC will work to develop the

approved scope of work in terms of economic

and functional requirements.

In order to satisfy the project goals, our

approach begins with the awareness that

the project’s schedule and funding are fixed

entities that can only be met or reduced.

Services provided by HMC are implemented

with a team approach, consisting of owner

representatives, building user groups, HMC,

and consulting engineers. Beginning with the

existing facilities assessment and continuing

through post-occupancy, the expertise of each

team member will be incorporated. Team

cohesion will be reinforced through regularly

scheduled progress meetings.

Typical project deliverables may include, but

not be limited to:

:: HMC to field verify existing facilities and

site conditions and prepare CAD drawings

on electronic file.

:: “Record Drawing” floor plans, submitted

on electronic media.

:: HMC to prepare furniture and equipment

plans for various interior spaces.

:: HMC to recommend various cost effective,

yet aesthetically appealing interior design

materials, including wall covering, floor

covering, and modular furniture.

:: HMC to incorporate its understanding

of the principles of ergonomic and

sustainable (green) design as appropriate.

:: HMC to provide cost effective, aesthetically

appealing design of public areas.

:: HMC to perform workspace population

density studies and growth forecast.

:: HMC to coordinate efforts with the

engineering and construction of the

projects.

HMC will provide project delivery in phases,

generally standard to the industry, and

recognized by the American Institute of

Architects (AIA). The project objectives,

detailed schedule, and deliverables will be

established at the beginning with the owner,

and rigorously followed by HMC.

Design

Throughout the design phases, HMC applies

concerted effort on satisfying the requirements

of regulatory agencies. HMC staff has in

depth knowledge of the California Building

Code, Department of Health Services, the

Americans with Disabilities Act, and the

submittal and review requirements of local,

state, and federal authorities.

Construction documents

The progress of Construction Documents

is assigned milestones within the Project

Schedule where the entire set of drawings is

assembled for review by all team members.

Coordination of the various consulting

engineers is the primary focus of each

submittal. The complete set of construction

documents also receives the review of other

senior architects at HMC to ensure that quality

is maintained. The owner and designated

site staff will also receive a complete set of

documents for their review and approval prior

to bidding.

HMC considers budget parameters to be of

paramount importance. HMC utilizes the

cumulative experience of an in-house cost-

28 29

estimating department, consulting engineers,

and other construction professionals to

track project costs and current trends in

construction. HMC reviews construction

costs during the initial design phases as well

as during preparation of the Construction

Documents.

Construction

HMC is committed to keeping the number

of revisions (addenda) during the bid period

to a minimum. Issuance of addenda, should

they be required, are included on the

project schedule to insure adequate time for

evaluation by potential bidders.

HMC’s approach to construction is one of

timely, informed response and the resolution

of disputes prior to escalation. Should

program design changes arise, HMC provides

a diligent review of all costs and alternatives

prior to recommending applications for

payment.

Regularly scheduled construction meetings

have been the corner stone of HMC’s

Construction Administration success. During

these meetings, the progress of construction

is reviewed and concerns are discussed. HMC

also maintains a detailed logging system,

enabling the movement of information

efficiently throughout construction. HMC’s

thorough documentation of construction

issues serves as a catalyst to the construction

process, and becomes a valuable resource in

the event of a construction claim.

Bidding

:: Issue clarifications to bidders and

incorporate information for construction

documents via addenda.

:: Assist the owner in preparation of bid

advertisements

:: Coordinate pre-bid meeting

:: Respond to any requests for clarifications

:: Assist the owner with review of bids

received for responsiveness

Construction administration services

:: Review and respond to all requests for

information

:: Review contractor’s shop drawing

submittals

:: Attend project construction progress

meetings

:: Review and make recommendations for

contract change orders

Post-construction services

:: Job walk and creation of final punch list

:: Review of corrections required by the punch

list

:: Prepare close-out documents

:: Post-occupancy survey and analysis

Quality Assurance

Effective construction document quality

control is an ongoing process, starting in the

programming phase and ending with the

completion of the construction documents.

The end result of these reviews and strategies

are higher quality and more thoroughly

coordinated documents, which will translate

into better bids and fewer change orders. The

following are the systems HMC will employ:

Project planning group

This group is the core of our quality control

effort. It meets in-house regularly to discuss

the recent and upcoming management,

design, and coordination issues for the

project. These issues will be coordinated and

communicated back and forth by the group

leader with the owner and with the consultant

28 29

team. This group provides ongoing review

of project issues by a group of qualified

individuals and ensures that these issues

are incorporated into the development

of the design and documents prior to

formal review by any applicable regulatory

agencies.

Code analysis and code

conformance reviews

A preliminary code analysis will be A preliminary code analysis will be

prepared at the onset of design by all

architectural and engineering disciplines.

This analysis will be submitted to the owner

for review. The A/E team will review the

documents at the completion of each phase

of work to ensure compliance with earlier

Code Analysis findings. Any necessary

Code Analysis revisions will be prepared

by the A/E team and forwarded to the

appropriate agencies.

Design and construction document

checklists

HMC will customize our master checklist for

this project with respect to each discipline.

This provides our staff and all consultants

with an extensive list of specific items to be with an extensive list of specific items to be

included in the documents for each phase

and for each drawing type. This will help the

number of review comments required.

Milestone coordination meetings

The purpose of these regular meetings will

be for progress coordination of building

and system issues. These meetings are the

forums for the majority of the technical

coordination.

Progress reviews

These reviews, conducted by HMC and

the engineering consultants, will occur

several times during each phase, preceding

milestone coordination meetings. The

point of these reviews is to examine

the practicality, functionality, and cost

implications of the design and building

details, as well as to ensure that all review

comments from the owner are being

appropriately addressed.

Plan check reviews

Following each phase submittal, each

member of the A/E team will review the

drawings and specifications relative to

the coordination of their scope of work,

with HMC plan checking the work of all

disciplines. These are objective reviews of

the documents evaluating code compliance,

constructability, coordination, and

completeness.
