PROJECT APPROACH

A Note from the Project Manager

For the past 17 years, my passion for community projects has strengthened, harnessing my enthusiasm to cultivate wellness and engagement at the local and regional level. My journey at SFS has been a rewarding one, characterized by collaboration with impassioned groups, resulting in the creation of truly exceptional projects that bring joy (or maybe pride) to the communities they serve.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working on a diverse range of projects, each offering a unique solution tailored to its community's context. These projects have spanned from feasibility studies to comprehensive design projects, showcasing a commitment to crafting innovative solutions that resonate with the communities they serve.

In my current role as a Senior Associate and Project Manager, I will be responsible for overseeing the project through all phases of development. This encompasses close collaboration with stakeholders to ensure their visions are realized, maintaining transparent and effective communication with clients, thorough budget and schedule management, and the establishment and execution of robust stakeholder engagement.

The SFS team proposed for Marty Park has worked together across the same spectrum of parks projects. We are comfortable and excited about engaging the surrounding neighbors, City Council, Staff, and other project stakeholders to maximize the value and impact this important new amenity can have on the community. We have developed and collaborated in a variety of settings using a wide range of tools at our disposal to develop stakeholder consensus and support. After gaining a thorough understanding of the community’s vision, our team will translate that vision to an actionable, high-value design solution. Our team uses a variety of technologies to convey that design intent to potential construction partners who will rely on the accuracy and thoroughness of our documentation. As our experience is not just with large or small projects, we subject each project to an internal Quality Assurance review performed by our Technical Design Manager in addition to the Principal Architect. From community engagement through design and construction, this team’s dedication to building strong relationships and designing exciting, responsible, and sustainable projects that meet or exceed the goals and vision of the project stakeholders ensures that each project leaves a lasting and positive impact on the communities it serves.

BIETIGHEIM-BISSINGEN PARK

Overland Park, Kansas

SFS is leading the design team in the development of a new sister-city park in Overland Park, Kansas. Bietigheim-Bissingen Park is situated on approximately 6.5 acres at the northeast corner of 159th and Quivira Streets. Based on the outcome of a community and neighborhood engagement process to understand concerns and determine priority amenities, this new public park will include a shelter, restroom, playground, bocce ball court, reading nook, open lawn space, elevated boardwalk, gazebo, and a small parking lot.

The German architectural style, city planning, integration of art, and the relationship to the water that is prevalent in BietigheimBissingen will have a strong influence in the design and layout of the park. The buildings, amenities, landscaping, and signage will convey this character and story of the sister-city as unique design solutions that are not thematic and literal. As visitors engage and experience the park, the influences and character of the sister-city will reveal themselves in the context of the park rather than obvious replicas or duplicates of traditional German features.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS: PARK STRUCTURES

SFS has been recognized by its peers and industry colleagues for excellence in design, craftsmanship and artistry for numerous park projects. This consistent level of excellence is backed by our disciplined cost, schedule and quality control process in place from the conceptual design phase, to the production of construction documents, and through the construction administration phase.

The SFS Team will work with the steering committee to develop meaningful and unique images for Marty Park. Materials, details, colors and other design elements such as paving, graphics and signage will be thoughtfully selected through a collaborative process with the committee. In addition, opportunities for feedback by the community and stakeholders may also be provided, the extent of which will be determined with the committee, as appropriate.

The design of Marty Park will take into consideration the following key issues:

Image + Park Context

► Unique architectural image and vocabulary

► Durability and sustainability

► Maintenance considerations

► Flexibility and adaptability

► Community Value – ability to inspire potential future park development or adjacent properties by creating dynamic and inspired structures

Accessibility, Inclusivity and Connectivity

► Ensuring access for all abilities and ages

Safety and Security

► Minimizing disruption to the park aesthetic while allowing visibility for improved convenience, safety and security for park patrons

Budget + Sustainable Operational Costs

► Creative, value-based solutions

► Creating a contextually appropriate appearance while providing low maintenance, economical and durable solutions

► Using sustainable and low maintenance materials

► Incorporating energy savings measures such as solar power

Site

► Responding to unique park features

► Framing key view sheds

► Responding to future plans for park expansion (if any)

► Providing access control and clear wayfinding

► Accommodate effective utilities and drainage

► Appropriate screening or buffering of activities and neighbors

OUR PROCESS

The scope of this project is to develop designs for shelters, a restroom, a splash pad and other amenities at the new Marty Park in Overland Park, Kansas. Construction and procurement documents would be developed in coordination with any required Overland Park planning and code approval timelines to solicit competitive bids. Construction would commence after contract approval and execution.

Community Engagement + Schematic Design Phase

SFS will work with project stakeholders to outline the goals and objectives for the park. These may include discussion and confirmation of the structure locations, building character, size(s) and any other overall expectations. Multiple examples of other park structures will be reviewed with the steering committee to help guide decisions on early potential preferencing. We will take this information and create site plans, floor plans and architectural concept options to submit to project stakeholders to gather feedback. We would then refine the concept based on this feedback. If desired, we will also provide an analysis of construction types and materials in our market based on current market conditions including methodologies such as site-built, pre-manufactured or hybrid structures.

At the conclusion of this phase, schematic site plans and architectural designs will be agreed on that illustrates the preferred orientation, location and basic building characteristics, massing and sustainable features/materials. Our team will be prepared to help stakeholders understand relative costs and market conditions related to labor and material availability, to the best of our knowledge, associated with aesthetic expectations early in the process.

Deliverables at the conclusion of the preliminary design phase will include the following:

► Site Plans

► Floor Plans

► 3-Dimensional Exterior Images

► Material Palettes

► Opinion of Probable Cost

Design Development Phase

During the Design Development Phase, the team will work with project stakeholders to refine areas of the project design in response to budget and vision. Preliminary and Final Development Plans will be submitted to Overland Park Plannning and Development for review and approval during this time. This submission and review process can typically take several months to complete. Once approval of the development plans have been received, the Team can proceed to developing the Construction Documents for bidding and construction.

Construction Document Phase

The construction documents phase will include final refinements of the concept and developing the technical drawings, specifications, and procurement documents for bidding the Work. Documents will be suitable for permitting, bidding and construction. Revisions required by permit plan reviewers will be included as part of this phase.

► Civil Grading and Utility Plans

► Structural Plans and Details

► Architectural Plans, Elevations and Details

► M/E/P Plans and Details

► Technical Specifications

► Exterior Rendering of Each Structure

► Opinion of Probable Cost

Bidding & Procurement

We assume the City of Overland Park will procure competitive bids for the work. SFS and the consultant team will be available to assist the City by attending pre-bid meetings, answer bidders’ questions, RFIs, review substitution requests, and attend the bid opening as needed and as customarily provided by A/E consultants during the bidding and procurement process.

Construction Administration

Depending on the time of year that construction commences, weather may play a larger factor in duration and completion of any project. Construction phase services will include submittal reviews, responding to RFIs and other issue resolution, attending periodic Owner-ArchitectContractor (OAC) meetings, site visits with field observation reports, compiling a punch list, final closeout documents and other tasks customarily required during the construction phase.

Communications & Public Relations

SFS has a strong record of success helping communities pass referendums to finance park, aquatic and recreation projects. Support includes participation in public workshops and other forums to educate voters about the project as well as the development of renderings and other graphics to visually communicate project concepts and generate enthusiasm for the project. We will work with you from the onset to determine how much stakeholder and community involvement is required and the specific methods for engagement.

We believe our team is uniquely qualified to undertake this project. We have assembled a team that has a long working relationship together and have specific extensive working experience with designing public restroom facilities in park settings.

These projects have required tailored solutions to unique circumstances such as: park topography; minimizing disruption to the natural park aesthetic, allowing visibility for improved safety and security for park patrons; providing a low maintenance, economical, sustainable ensuring accessibility to the public; among others.

This proven expertise will bring value to Marty Park.

TIMELINE

Our team would be excited to begin immediately upon approval and notice to proceed! The schedule proposed is a response to the milestone dates listed in the Request for Qualifications. Steering committee reviews and community workshops may impact the desired design or construction schedule. We are accustomed to being flexible and working with all the project stakeholders to keep projects moving forward.

Brian Sturm

Landscape Architect

PLA, ASLA, LEED AP ®

Brian’s background in urban American history coupled with his more than a decade of experience in community planning, site analysis and landscape design make him an invaluable player on any project team. Brian seeks out the stories being told by our landscapes and develops designs which bring them boldly forward for the public to enjoy. With extensive professional experience, his work includes parks and trail design, monument design, planting plans and master planning for residential, senior living and mixed-use communities to meet city ordinances to gain necessary permits. While his final designs ultimately specify materials such as pavement, pipes, and plants, it is people which are his favorite element in the landscape and which inspire his work.
