Redstone Architects, Inc.
DEXTER TOWNSHIP - FIRE SUBSTATION FACILITY
PROJECT APPROACH & WORK PLAN
Dexter Township is on the road to building a new fire substation, replacing the current
substation located at the MLWSA location on North Territorial Road. The Redstone
team has been assembled based upon our successful work together and qualifications
to provide professional architectural and engineering services necessary to effectively
assess space needs and develop a design which meets the needs of Dexter
Township.
, I
I
We understand that reaching a successful outcome requires a thorough collaboration
of the knowledge and experience of all team members, from township and fire
department staff, to designer and engineers. Our approach is designed to maximize
collaboration through meetings, discussions, and open communications which will help
assure the development of a functional, cost effective and an aesthetically pleasing
design solution meeting the desires of the Township.
We have briefly reviewed the 2012 Public Safety Advisory Committee study and
appreciate all of the time and effort that has already taken place in developing the
project. We intend to do all we can to take advantage of those efforts and
recommendations.
One of the future needs was for police use for a report writing room and for interviews
for either the MSP or the Sheriff. Redstone Architects recently completed a Public
Safety Substation in Bridgeport, WV which included, in addition to a full service fire
station, a police substation programmed to accomplish similar functions to those
anticipated in this station. We would be happy to discuss some of the security issues
that may occur when police operations are included.
PART 1- PROJECT INITIATION & PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
Step 1a- Kick-off Meeting with Dexter Township.
l
The Redstone Team will meet with Members of the Fire Department and Township
Any
representatives to review the process and identify expected outcomes.
information and prior studies performed for the township shall be provided to the
Redstone team, including the existing, overall boundary surveys of the site, located at
the Multi-Lake Water & Sewer Authority property at 12088 North Territorial Road,
Dexter, MI. Prior to the meeting, the Redstone Team shall tour the existing township
fire department substation facility, and the other facility identified by the RFP.
We will jointly develop a tentative schedule for subsequent meetings and activities,
using input of the participants. Additional information needed by the Redstone Team
shall be identified .
Step 1b - Programming meetings with Dexter Township Fire Department.
Redstone will interview members of the township fire department to gain a full
understanding of current and anticipated future operations.
Step 2 - Compile a listing of required spaces and functions with spaces.
Based on our interviews with key township fire department staff, we will develop a
compilation of required spaces and functions, which will be used during subsequent
discussions to solidify everyone's understanding of the space needs of the
department. We will list by space or activity all of the areas needed to
accommodate projected operational needs. Individual space square footages
will be summarized.
Square footages are multiplied by an internal "grossing factor" to account for internal
circulation in the functional areas of the facility. The net departmental requirements
are then totaled, and a second grossing factor is applied to account for building
structure, external and internal walls, circulation spaces between departments and
agencies, as well as necessary mechanical and electrical spaces. The total of this
process provides the Projected Gross Square Footage for the identified Needs.
Vehicular and other special needs are also identified, in order to size special parking
and operational needs not located within the proposed facility (e.g ., Haz-Mat Truck), or
on the site.
Step 3-
Develop Preliminary Project Cost Estimate based on Initial Space
Needs Assessment
Using the projected gross square footage developed in Step 2, and our initial
observations regarding the site, the team will put together an initial projection of the
project's cost. This projection, along with the Space Needs Assessment, will be data
the township can use to help confirm that the project is within its budget criterion.
Step 4-
Space Needs Analysis- Review Meeting with Fire Department
We then review the space needs document with the fire department and township
administration to confirm that all known needs have been identified, understood, and
covered .
Step 5-
l
I
Final Review and Acceptance by Township
We then ask for a final review in order to finalize the analysis. Once accepted, the
Space Needs Analysis and accompanying projected cost become the basis for
determining the adequacy and development of the new substation, and for our team to
proceed with the conceptual design of the new facility
Step 6-
Field Measure MLWSA Administration Building
Develop a background drawing for future use during the Schematic Design Phase.
PART 2 - TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
Prepare a new topographic survey of the property being considered.
propose doing this after one of the three options has been chosen.
We
PART 3- SCHEMATIC DESIGN
As required in the RFP, all three options must include preliminary engineering on
storm water management measures, as well as architectural elevations of each option.
It has been our experience that one site and building option will rise to the top after
developing conceptual site and block diagrams (example attached), and that
developing elevations and engineering calculations for all three options is not
necessary.
Step 1 - Develop Conceptual Floor & Site Plans
Our design team will develop up to three, conceptual floor and site plans reflecting the
requirements of the Space Needs Analysis. The conceptual plans will be developed to
create an efficient work flow and provide a good working environment for the
department. Per the RFP, the three options are:
1. Stand Alone Building
2. Incorporate
existing
MLWSA
Administration
Building,
with
renovations/additions as required
3. Stand Alone building on the Existing MLWSA s building (footprint) site.
Existing building to be demolished.
It is our opinion that option 1 and 3 will likely have the same or similar footprint, and
that the real comparison is building new versus renovation.
Step 2 - Concept Design Progress Meeting with Fire Department
We will meet with the department to review the layouts and obta in feedback. A
successful design requires that the department become a real part of the design
process, and our process helps ensure this objective. During this meeting we will lead
users through a number of operational work flow scenarios from the perspective of
users, public visitors, staff ingress and egress, apparatus ingress and egress, etc. We
expect that representatives of department will discuss the initial plans with other staff,
and we will receive comments after the meeting's conclusion.
l
Step 3 - Concept Design Evaluation and Selection
Based on our experience, we believe that from the discussions arising out of this
meeting, it will be likely that Dexter Township will be able to develop a preliminary
preference for one of the two concepts, based on site layouts, work flow, security, and
public/staff separations. We anticipate that one of the two concepts will be chosen to
continue into Schematic Design.
Step 4-
Develop Schematic Plans and initial massing studies.
Using the approved concept, the design team will develop schematic design plans,
incorporating the comments from the users and township. We will begin a "massing"
study, which will lead to the development of schematic elevations. During this time we
will also have internal design meeting to coordinate systems' concepts .
Step 5-
Design Progress Meeting with Fire Department and Township
A progress meeting is held to obtain comments from the Fire Department and
Township.
Step 6-
Complete Schematic Design Plans and Elevations
Based on the comments received at the progress meeting , the Redstone Team will
complete the conceptual plans and elevations for the new substation.
Step 7-
Develop initial Construction and Project Cost Projections
Applying both unit square footage costs to the conceptual building and site design, and
detailed costs for specific building and site elements, we will develop an initial
construction and project cost estimate for the new Central Fire Station, including
allowances for related project costs. These costs will include soft costs such as
Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E), agency costs, professional fees, security
equipment, IT requirements, and other specialized items that may be identified during
this process. Appropriate allowances for design and construction contingencies will be
included.
Step 8-
Assemble Executive Summary
We will prepare an Executive Summary, which provides a broad view of the study, the
schematic design, cost projections and conclusions. The final draft will be discussed
with the Township Supervisor prior to its issuance. After comments from the Township
Supervisor are received and incorporated, the Final Study, including schematic
building plans and elevations, a site plan, a Project Budget projection, will be
presented to the Township.
Step 9-
l
I
Presentation to the Township Board
We will present our findings and schematic design concepts for the Fire Department to
the Township. Our presentation will be a document that has been developed as a
Team, reflects a unified consensus, and meets the requirements of the community.
Our recommendations, based on thorough discussion, interaction, and agreement of
representatives of the agencies, will become the foundation for a successful Project.
PART 4 -
GEOTECHNICAL
We will procure soil borings for the design of the footings and for storm water
management measures, and follow the recommendations of the consultant.
PART 5-
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT (TO A 50% COMPLETION OF
DOCUMENTS)
We will continue our development of materials and systems for the building, and
further develop the building plans and elevations. Progress meetings with the
Township will be held at appropriate times during this phase.
Step 1 -
Design Development Meetings
Key representatives of our architectural and engineering team will meet with township
and fire department representatives to discuss approaches to building components,
including structural, mechanicai/HVAC and electrical systems. Appropriate
approaches will be discussed and evaluated to determine the most appropriate
solutions which meet the needs of the township program and budget.
Step 2-
Design Development Drawings and Outline Specifications
Prepare drawings and outline specifications to define and illustrate the spaces,
appearance and form of the building. Drawings will include site and floor plans,
exterior and key interior elevations, building sections, and .critical construction details in
order that a detailed construction estimate can be performed.
Step 3-
Storm Water Management Drawings and Calculations
Prepare updated calculations, drawings and descriptions defining the storm water
management measures to be implemented for the Project. One meeting with an
appropriate agency will be included.
Step 4-
Site Plan Approval Package
Prepare drawings as needed to obtain site plan approval from the Planning
Commission. We have included one meeting each for Township staff review,
attendance at a Planning Commission meeting and Zoning Board of Appeals meeting.
One revision to our submittal is also included. Please note that a preliminary Site Plan
Approval needs to be obtained before proceeding into the CD phase.
l
Step 5-
Cost Estimate and Schedule
Prepare a Project Cost estimate and schedule based upon Design Development
documents.
Step 6-
Design Development Presentation and Finalization
Prepare and present finalized Design Development drawings and outline specifications
to township and fire department. Review and incorporate final comments and
recommendations as appropriate.
PART 6A-
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
Construction documents are completed during this phase. Progress meetings with the
township and fire department will be held at appropriate times.
Step 1-
Prepare Construction Documents
Prepare final construction documents to include all drawings and specifications
necessary to completely define and illustrate the requirements for the construction of
the project.
Step 2-
Site Approvals from Governing Authorities.
Obtain approval from the governing municipal authorities listed, including:
• WCRC for Curb Cut
• WCWRC for Storm Sewer Management System (WCWRC SESC
Permit)
• MLSWA sewer connection approval
• Washtenaw County well approval
• Final Site Plan Approval from the Dexter Township Planning
Commission
One meeting with each appropriate agency will be included.
Step 3-

Collect and tabulate bids
Evaluate bids and make recommendations for contract award.
Included in this step is attendance at the bid opening and attending one Township
meeting to confirm recommendation of award.
PART 7- CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION SERVICES
NOT REQUESTED BUT RECOMMENDED
In the traditional design- bid- build process, architects normally provide
administration of the Construction Contract. Administration normally includes issuing
responses to questions raised by the Contractor, periodically visiting the site to
observe the status of construction, review and approve Applications for Payment,
prepare a completion list, and issue a Certificate of Substantial Completion.
Owners have frequently run into trouble by not engaging the design professional who
designed the facility to administer Construction Phase services for the Project.
Services during construction normally include:
A. Construction Administration I Office
Pre-construction Meetings
Shop Drawings and Equipment Approvals
Review and approve shop drawings, samples, and other submissions of materials,
finishes, products, or equipment for conformance with the construction documents.
Color and Materials Schedule
Prepare and submit schedule of color for appropriate building materials and finishes

PROPOSED SCHEDULE
Since 2010 the Dexter Township Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) has been
working to build a new Substation to serve its citizens " .. .for the next 50 years." In late
2010, the existing, temporary substation opened at the MLSWA facility on North
Territorial Road. In addition to fire operations, it is the Township's goal to use the "new"
station as a polling station, and possibly even a substation for the Sheriff and MSP.
The RFP is hoping that the new facility may be in operation in the fall of 2014. The
estimated cost, according to the RFP, is between $1,200,000 and $1,600,000. From
the Study, the 2012 OHM estimate appears to have been in the neighborhood of
$1,900,000.
"OHM is studying needs and the site, & has provided an initial estimate of the work, including professional
services, site work, utility work, & construction + contingency. Their estimate of $1. 9M is very
conservative and could shrink as the definition proceeds."
We believe it would be prudent to spend sufficient time programming, planning and
estimating the Project early on so that the Township's objectives of an efficient. wellplanned facility that is built within its budget can be reached.
Once we are selected and working with the Township, we will be able to identify
meeting availability, submission dates and deadlines of commissions and agencies, or
other items impacting a team schedule. For now, we have provided a range of time for
each major step in the design process.
Part 1- PROGRAMMING (Project Initiation and Program Development). ONE
MONTH. We feel that this phase, which involves discussions with members of the Fire
Department and Dexter Township officials, will take about one month. This is in part
because it would be foolish to move forward with the conceptual design of a facility if the
"ball-park" costs of the programmed spaces and site requirements were in excess of the
available funding. We anticipate at least two meetings to reach a consensus on the
Program.
Part 3- SCHEMATIC DESIGN. FOUR TO SIX WEEKS.
Part 5- DESIGN DEVELOPMENT. TWO TO THREE MONTHS.
l
I
1
Part 6A- CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. TWO TO THREE MONTHS.
Part 68- BIDDING AND AWARD. FOUR TO SIX WEEKS.
If the Project were to start at the beginning of 2014, we believe the Project could be
designed and bid so that it can be awarded between July 41h and Labor Day, 2014.
Allowing 9 to 12 months for construction would suggest an opening of a "new"
substation in the summer of 2015.

Tom Tarkiewicz, City Manager
(269) 781-5183
Redstone Architects (and Redstone Public Safety Consulting Group) was selected to develop a design and a Business Plan
for a Regional Law Enforcement Center that would house three agencies- the City of Marshall Police Department, a Michigan
State Police Post, and offices and operations of the Calhoun County Sheriff. The Business Plan includes sharing of staff
agreed to among the agencies, as well as initial and annual cost-sharing allocations . The building was designed to insure
maximum collaboration among the agencies.
The City of Marshall applied for and received a State of Michigan Economic Vitality Incentive Program ("EVIP") grant to help
fund a portion of its share. Calhoun County also applied for an EVIP grant, but did not receive one. The EVIP program was
established to encourage governmental agencies to share or consolidate services. As a result, the City of Marshall and the
Michigan State Police will be proceeding with a shared facility for the two agencies. Redstone Architects is the Architect of
Record .

facility. The new central fire headquarters includes fire administration , training, a four-bay apparatus garage, and
living quarters for 12 firefighters per shift. The completed design successfully provided accommodations for the
capacity needed for the Township's operations . The facility became operational in 2001.
Monroe Michigan Public Safety Building Study (2013)
Redstone Architects is in the process of developing a Needs Assessment and
Site Selection for a new Public Safety Building . In 2010, the City of Monroe made
the decision to merge its Police and Fire Departments into a fully cross-trained
Public Safety Department. The existing Central Fire Station, built in the 1960's
has been scheduled for replacement for almost 10 years, and the decision to
implement a Public Safety Department presented the opportunity for a building to
house all public safety functions . (Image is from 2005 Fire Station Study by

To Whom It May Concern :
I have had the privilege and honor of knowing Mr. Dan Redstone for
more than five years and can easily say he is one of the most
competent and professional individuals I have conducted business
with. In early 2007, my organization was fortunate enough to secure
Dan's expertise and the services of his team at Redstone Architect's
to perform the Architectural Design and Engineering Services for a
new Firearms Training Center. In the fall of that year construction
began and in January 2008 a new, state-of-the-art Firearms Training
Center was opened and dedicated.
Throughout the entire bid , award, and construction process, Dan and
his team of professionals provided competent, honest and open
counsel to our Project Manager to make this initiative a success. In
fact, the entire $1 .75 million dollar project was only $700 over budget
and that was due to additional add-on items and change orders
requested by MY organization.
In my capacity as Chief Executive, I have the opportunity to work with
hundreds of vendors and service oriented businesses. The
professional services of Dan Redstone and his team are the finest
you will find and are truly second to none! I will continue to
recommend Dan and his firm to potential clients and can objectively
provide offer him the highest of praises for his efforts.
If you have any questions in this regard please don't hesitate to
contact me.

To Whom It May Concern;
I am writing this letter in behalf of Daniel Redstone who was the architect that designed and managed
the construction our City of Saline Municipal and Police Building.
I found that working with Dan and his staff during the two year project was a very rewarding experience
for me personally. They took the time to help me understand the process, listened to me and my staff
with our ideas and managed to convert those Ideas Into reality through their creative approach to
design. I mentioned creative in their approach. By this I mean that if we wanted a space for a certain
purpose like an armory for our weapons and ammunition, he and his staff would have dialog with us and
design the space according to our specific needs. This occurred with our lock up facility, armory and our
training room. Instead of just space, it was specifically designed for our projected use. As a result, after
being in the building for almost 10 years, there Is nothing that I would change from the original design.
That is what Dan Redstone and his staff are all about. Custom designs with the client in mind at all
times. Dan was always available to us during the entire project and continues to be a good friend today,
some 10 years later.
I can and have recommended Dan Redstone to many jurisdictions in the past ten years and feel
confident that all who utilize his services will be as pleased with the results as I am.
