EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK Exhibit A to Professional Services Agreement (Form Approved by City Attorney’s Office January 7, 2010, updated December 2, 2022) Scope of Services Rice Fergus Miller, Inc. team of design professionals will provide architectural and engineering services to develop the necessary predesign documents for the proposed Everett Fire Training Center. The scope of service includes schematic, architectural, and engineering designs documents for an approximately 78,400 SF site. The proposed firefighting training center will consist of a multi-story burn structure prop with features of both structural and shipboard firefighting challenges, including a propane-fueled live-fire simulator, classroom facility, locker rooms for men and women, and vehicle storage facility with restrooms. Services shall be oriented and focused on creating the necessary documentation for the City of Everett to approve a conceptual master plan and based on this plan assemble additional documentation, written and graphic, to support packages seeking grants and/or additional funding towards the project’s development. Rice Fergus Miller, Inc. will have two interrelated but stand-alone contractual phases. The first phase is the Preliminary Design Phase, and the second phase is the Documentation – Construction Phase. Scope and services defined here are to address the Preliminary Design Phase Agreement. Preliminary Design Phase will establish a conceptual master plan for the new facility and with the approval of a design direction, support the plan with foundational information and documentation to enhance the City of Everett’s understanding of the project and its efforts to establish its internal funding requirements as well as investigate additional funding opportunity via additional partners, grants, and/or other sources of financial support. Training Objective & Programming: To ensure that we are mutually clear as to the design direction(s) for the new facility it is essential that the team’s efforts begin with collaborative work sessions that the Fire Department’s training goals and objectives can be clearly defined. For the definition of the training program’s objectives, we can establish the appropriate design direction for the physical facilities necessary to meet these programming goals. To compile this information: 1. It is recommended that a business day be set aside to discuss and/or visit nearby/surrounding training facilities. The design team and City representative will tour the WRG site in Kitsap County which has been specifically referenced and would be the minimum training center visit. 2. Following the existing training facility(ies) site visit(s) it is recommended that two days of workshops be held to discuss and establish: a. Service area hazards to be addressed by a new training facility. b. Training goals and objectives regarding the identified hazards. c. The resulting site program requirements, needs and goals. d. The resulting facility programmatic needs and goals. e. Facility physical requirements of parking, open spaces, enclosed areas, and facility massing and heights. f. Facility sequencing, specifically to establish Phase 1 and the minimum facilities within it. Master Planning: With the above goals defined, identify the conceptual site, structural, and building elements, free standing and combined. With the defined training facilities, planning efforts for the whole of the site can be studied. Placeholders can be studied across the site, organized in a manner that will incorporate all the training elements identified as necessary, and that will fit on the site as well as the organization of those facilities essential to Phase 1 and the northern half of the site. These efforts shall present recommendations and plans that will utilize the site to its fullest while providing for the training objectives and program established. This planning exercise shall result in the selection of a singular master plan to be developed via the following stages of the Preliminary Design Phase. The master planning documents shall be conceptual planning documents for the whole of the site however it is understood that the project will be phased, and that Phase 1 of the work shall consist of the northern half of the site (Approximately 1.82 acres.). The conceptual master plan shall not be less than two independent construction phases. The first phase is not a component of these studies. The yet to be defined scope is again why we have created the two compartmentalized scope of services for the design team. Simultaneous with the above programming and planning effort the geotechnical engineering consultants shall start site investigations of the subject site soil
