Briefly describe your knowledge of and approach to renovating facilities of similar size and complexity as the Project. Provide approach to minimize business operations during renovation.
Fentress Architects is a convention center renovation expert. Over the past 25 years 13 million square feet have been renovations to existing centers. We have kept all of them completely operational during the expansion and renovation process. We have become experts at developing phasing strategies that minimize impacts to scheduled events and will keep the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) open and operational during the construction upgrades. Construction Phasing options require careful consideration of the following: 1.
Calculations to determine which phasing approach would provide the required number and size of meeting rooms to accommodate events taking place during construction
2. Exiting capacity and travel distance 3. Building structural framing 4. Building enclosure 5. Locations of system head end units for fire alarm, fire protection, security, communications, building automation, public address, and main and emergency power In coordination with the Construction Manager and major subcontractors, the above criteria will be carefully incorporated into the construction schedule to provide an efficient construction sequence with minimum impact on operations.

Dialog with the AHJ is critical to foster a common understanding of the building’s level of completion and life safety systems status for every show during construction. The Fentress | EV&A Team has relationships with the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for Clark County. Below is a list of project challengesfor convention center we have mitigated and documented through the design and construction process. 1.
Fentress Architects designed Colorado Convention Center Phase II over the existing operational light rail line with only a single weekend interruption in light rail service.
2. Miami Beach Convention Center held 45 events during a complete renovation without disruption to event patrons. Miami Beach Convention Center
3. Miami Beach Convention Center held three full building events during construction with the largest attendance ever. 4. At the Palm Springs Convention Center, Fentress Architects completely reoriented the main public entry of the buildings while it remained open and operational. 5. Colorado Convention Center Phase III, Fentress designed an addition to be constructed above an operational exhibit hall. Fentress Architects brings to this project a tried and tested team with an exceptional history of convention center project renovation experience. All key team members have worked on convention center projects together for many years. IMichael Winters and John Kudrycki have worked together on all Fentress convention center projects over the past 25 years.
Colorado Convention Center
Palm Springs Convention Center
Our designers have years of experience dealing with the complex problems inherent in reconfiguring existing convention centers without disrupting operations. We fully understand the unique problems presented and are the best in the industry at solving them with out-of-the box solutions and valueadded revenue-producing ideas. Fentress’ first convention center design was hailed by former Chrysler Corporation Chairman Lee Iacocca as a facility that “blew my mind! Our people say it’s the best they’ve ever been in.” He was speaking in and about the Colorado Convention Center Phase I. We embrace the ability to meet with LVCC users, TVS, Cordell, and others to collaboratively solve problems. We have used this process successfully in the past. In fact, after a meeting with users of the Colorado Convention Center, we identified user preferences for room sizes, divisibility, and building technology needs. We vetted these ideas with our client and incorporated them into the design. This type of input provides user-specific insights which will keep the center marketable and user friendly, greatly enhancing the success of this project. Virtually all our convention center renovations have involved developing phasing plans to keep a center operational during construction.
LVCCD PHASE THREE - RENOVATION

With LVCC and Construction Manager’s assistance, we can devise a phasing plan that helps mitigate the effects of on-site construction during these shows and any others the LVCC identifies from a phasing standpoint. EV&A was the Associate Architect for the LVCC South Hall Expansion and Renovation in 2008. Fentress and EV&A have been working together for the past year at the World Market Center Expo in Las Vegas and have developed a strong team relationship.
Pasadena Convention Center
Project Manager John Kudrycki and Assistant Project Manager Kelly Dunn are experts in construction and in developing options. We have developed solutions in our specifications that specifically address noise issues, communication protocol, and even identify floating no work days when the contractors will not be able to work specific areas of the site, in order to accommodate user needs. Once a phasing plan is conceptualized, we will provide LVCC, Cordell, and TVS with a 3D digital animation showing how construction sequencing will take place. We will define the timeline for events during the animation, so that the phasing is logical and within the project schedule. This tool is paramount in providing an understanding of the construction sequence for LVCC, Cordell, the construction manager, subcontractors, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
Georgia World Congress Center
Santa Fe Convention Center
We understand that the LVCC books events years in advance and that keeping commitments to clients is crucial in maintaining client relationships and future bookings. Our extensive experience in designing major additions and renovations to functioning convention center spaces provides us with numerous strategies to complete the work without disrupting ongoing events and activities. Fentress will work closely with convention center management to plan and design all phases of the project minimizing disruptions to ongoing events. Our strategy includes: Understanding the current facility operations Facility maintenance issues—understand and document as-built conditions with respect to utility infrastructure Facility operation issues—Move-in and move-out procedures and locations, work hours, etc. Visitor experience—entrance points, parking, pedestrian access, visibility, public safety Incorporate understanding into design Minimize impacts to existing structures by utilizing independent new structures as additions Explore design solutions to minimize impacts such as drilled pile foundations in lieu of driven piles to reduce noise and vibration Incorporate event schedule into overall project schedule

Include move-in, move-out, show dates, halls, and spaces utilized Identify events with noise and/or vibration concerns Evaluate construction shut-downs during critical shows Design specifically to the construction phases to minimize interruptions. This includes considering overall phasing in the layout of spaces down to the specific details showing the connection of the old and new buildings to minimize disruption when opening the new building areas to the existing ones. Meet weekly with operations and events staff during construction to fine tune construction activities to the evolving needs of the event planners Build additional no construction work days into the schedule for unexpected event demands Case studies for Miami Beach Convention Center Expansion and Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall Renovation and Expansion are provided as examples of our in-depth knowledge and experience in the renovation of facilities of similar size and complexity and how we minimized business operations disruption during renovation.

CASE STUDY #1 - SIMILAR SIZE RENOVATION
Miami Beach Convention Center Renovation Fentress Architects was selected from a ďŹ eld of national convention center architects for the design of the Miami Beach Convention Center Renovation and Expansion and District Redevelopment. Part of a collaboration to redevelop the Miami Beach Convention Center and the surrounding properties, the plan envisioned new and renovated space for the existing convention center, while incorporating surrounding historic properties as part of the new convention center campus. In the new plan for the Miami Beach Convention Center, views, climate, and cultural atmosphere are integrated into the 1.4-million-square-foot transformation from old to new. In order to compete among the best convention centers, domestically and globally, the plan involved the analysis of the current technology being used in order to make recommendations that will enhance and maintain Miami’s status. The technological transformation will included a Distributed Antenna System for cell phones; expanded Wi-Fi throughout the entire facility; digital read boards for meeting rooms, ballrooms, and exhibit halls; and new digital exterior signage.

The Miami Beach Convention Center Renovation reconfigured existing exhibit halls to provide ultimate flexibility and continuous space. Upon completion, the convention center will have an unidentifiable transition between the new spaces and the old spaces, creating a seamless visitor experience.
Complete new security system New fire alarm and fire suppression systems Because of the extent of this renovation, Fentress Architects worked intensely with the City of Miami Beach and the Construction Manager to develop multiple options for the phasing of the project.
The project will create 502,000 square feet of exhibition space, 150,000 square feet of meeting space, a 1,500-square-foot business center, and a new 60,000-square-foot ballroom.
An integral part of the phasing plan was the accommodation of the 45 events that were scheduled during the construction phase.
Miami Beach Convention Center Renovation was a complete 1.4-million-square-foot renovation with the following scope:
Determining the sequence and duration of the construction phases was imperative to break the construction schedule into mini milestones that must be accomplished for each event.
Addition of the west lobby prefunction New building enclosure All new interior finishes Complete new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing system Complete new communication system including hard wire fiber optic and copper cabling network and a10 Gigabit WIFI
The Convention Center hosted the full building show “Art Basel”—an international modern art show—three times during construction. Close coordination with the Miami Beach Building and Fire Departments and life safety subcontractors was critical to ensure that the building areas were safe for occupancy.

CASE STUDY #1 - SIMILAR SIZE RENOVATION
Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall Renovation and Expansion EV&A was a member of the 2008 project team for the expansion and renovation of the Las Vegas Convention Center and served as the executive architect for the South Hall Meeting Rooms and South Hall Renovations as well as the interface with the Grand Concourse or North/South Connector. The entire project teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibilities included full architectural design services, including preparation of a building program and master plan, architectural and interior design, and structural engineering for the $890 million enhancement project. Complete services encompassed 3.8 million SF of space and were focused on enhancing the existing facility throughout, expansion of meeting facilities, site improvements, sustainable design and an improved user experience. There were four major space types comprising the interior of the convention facility: the grand lobby (connector), concourses, meeting rooms and ancillary spaces. The grand lobby linked the main entrance, taxi drop-off, monorail connector, pedestrian bridge and all the major concourses in the facility. It was to serve as both a collector and distribution center for people arriving at the convention center.
18 | FENTRESS ARCHITECTS I ED VANCE & ASSOCIATES
The projects general sequencing was as follows: 1. South Hall Meeting Rooms 2. Section One of the Grand Concourse 3. Renovation the Existing Concourse 4. Section Two of the Grand Concourse
There were three major classifications of finish types for the convention center, and a required common denominator among all of them is durability and maintainability. The areas accessible to event attendees were to appropriately reinforce the industry standards for commonly held expectations in the industry regarding quality service delivery, business climate and hospitality.
5. West Hall Meeting Rooms 6. Enhancements to the Existing North, Central and South Halls Concourses, exhibit halls and meeting rooms were clustered together and assigned a color and a letter. These colors are deployed throughout the finish palette to zone the building and reinforce passive wayfinding. These colors also serve as accents to the primarily neutral color palette. The walls, ceilings and floors are varied in shape, modulation, articulation, surface and color.

As design progresses, and at the close of each project phase, the Project Manager will evaluate the project to ensure adherence to the cost model. Our Quality Assurance program minimizes the possibility of conďŹ&#x201A;icts within the documents, avoiding costly changes during construction. The best method to control change orders is to ensure delivery of high-quality construction documents. Extra effort in this phase results in fewer addenda, clariďŹ cation requests, and change orders. The success of any project can be measured by whether the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals are met. The program, budget, schedule, and client expectations must be satisďŹ ed. The team of consultants assembled for the LVCC Phase III Renovation was selected for its ability to satisfy these expectations.
Fentress Architects has developed management tools that ensure schedules and budgets are realistically developed and met. A variety of management tools are employed to monitor and control the progress of servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from simple bar charts to the complex network of sequencing and critical activity diagrams. Our experience has been that no single management tool is appropriate for all projects. Each client or project presents unique scheduling and budget requirements, and we will tailor our management techniques to meet LVCC needs and produce the highest quality. Schedule control can be achieved through organized programs and experience working with a variety of projects, each with unique requirements. A dedicated professional staff must fully comprehend the importance of time constraints. Systems like our Project Management and Quality Assurance programs provide the framework to gather input and disseminate information to all team members and effectively solve problems as they arise. A detailed Project Schedule will be established as part of the schematic design startup, which sets completion dates per task and project milestones. This schedule will be addressed at each team meeting to verify compliance.
Provide a description of methods the Respondent will employ to deliver the project within the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget and schedule. Provide examples of previous experience(s) to illustrate your approach as deemed appropriate.

The Project Controls Team will be headed by John Kudrycki, Kelly Dunn, and Matthew Burns. The Cost Control Team will work with the CM and the LVCC Team to establish accurate cost parameters, set budgets, and then monitor and manage them to assure on-budget delivery. John, Kelly, and Mathew are thoroughly familiar with various cost estimating systems. Cost control begins with a comprehensive understanding of the scope of work. The design team will lead the effort to develop or validate a program for the scope of work. A Basis of Design Document will be created by the design team in conjunction with the LVCC, Cordell, TVS, and the building operators to fully describe each building system and set the level of quality for each.
Proposed Construction Sequence B
22 | FENTRESS ARCHITECTS I ED VANCE & ASSOCIATES
This document, along with a concept design package, will be the basis for the initial construction cost model. The CMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimators will use these documents to price the work. The design team will then participate in a scope meeting with the CM for each of the building disciplines to further deďŹ ne the scope and validate the CMs line item budget. If design-assist subcontractors are involved, their input into design options and project costs is imperative. Given the uncertain construction market, the ability to lock in a price and capacity for any number of disciplines is a major advantage. On Miami Beach Convention Center, the Design Team and the Design-Assist Mechanical Subcontractor were able to provide a savings of $44,000 in initial cost, higher energy efficiency, and the reduction of six weeks of on-site labor by providing the owner with new cooling towers rather than reconditioned cooling towers. For construction costs to be controlled, the Design Team must focus on the needs of the project as established by the ďŹ nalized Basis of Design and keep these needs in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;crosshairs.â&#x20AC;? This is done by a complete understanding of the program and constant monitoring and feedback between the Construction Manager and the Design Team. This is best achieved by having a member of the CM team in the Design Teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office to participate in the design process. The process is ďŹ ne-tuned to follow the path of schedule and cost control as close as possible.
Proposed Construction Sequence

At the appropriate point in the project, the Construction Manager will develop an Initial Guaranteed Maximum Price (IGMP). This cost is based on the latest set of design drawings and the ďŹ nalized Basis of Design Document. The Design Team will attend scoping meetings to validate building system assumptions and line item budgets. Because the design is still incomplete and to accommodate known and unknown project risks, there must be contingencies included in the IGMP to offset these risks. Our Project Controls Team is uniquely qualiďŹ ed to assist the LVCC team in developing and implementing cost management strategies, bringing quality and value to the process. In the tight construction marketplace, and with the competition for resources, and a fast-paced demanding schedule, management of costs and accurate conceptual estimating will be critical to the success of the project in assuring all goals are met. The Team has exceptional experience in working with CM/GCs and estimating consultants on large, technically complex projects in developing accurate estimates and implementation of cost controls on extremely fast-paced projects. Clear, effective communication and coordination with the CM and LVCC will assure accurate estimating, and greatly assist in the cost control management. The Project Controls Team will work to ensure that planning and construction costs stay within budget. Cost estimates by the team will be performed in conjunction with the CM, and outside cost consulting, if required, for conďŹ rmation of assumptions. We propose that the team generate a minimum of four estimates during the design phase with cost tracking exercises bridging the following milestone estimates:

Starting with program estimating, and developing to a more detailed, systemspecific cost estimate, the effort culminates in a detailed Final Guaranteed Maximum Price. The Final Guaranteed Maximum Price is used for initial construction purposes (bid reviews), reconciled with the actual bids being generated for cost control purposes after commencement of construction. This final model will be utilized to monitor and manage costs through the construction period. As early bid packages are released during the fasttrack process, the costs associated with the work are rolled into the cost model by the CM in a constant update process. At each phase, the Project Controls Team and the CM will be reconciled with the cost model with the Owner’s budget. Before commencement to the next level of documentation begins, a clear understanding of the relationships of the design to the budget, and confirmation of the design assumptions will be communicated to the LVCC team. If necessary, the team will also attend “Value Management Meetings” if the initial cost is above the project budget. The Design Team and the CM will offer LVCC, Cordell and the building operators modifications to the Basis of Design to bring the project within the construction cost budget. This will assure that all expectations regarding facilities, budget, and schedule are understood and issues addressed.
Michael Winters Meeting with CM
It will be imperative that the Owner is aware of and well informed about the status of design, timeliness of decisions required, and impacts of decision delays to the cost. On a large, complex, interdisciplinary project such as the LVCC Phase III Renovation, one of the greatest challenges to the Owner is to bring all the varying interests and spacial needs together, while maintaining the critical mass in decision making necessary for successful adherence to schedule and budgets. Successful management of this process will assure successful cost control. The Project Control Team will provide valuable assistance in helping the LVCC team manage their clients through this process to assure project goals can be achieved. In projects such as this, change is inevitable. What is important to LVCC is the management of these changes. The Design Team has both the process and the tools in place to effectively manage these changes. The primary process is project controls. We have an experienced Controls Team, which we intend to utilize on the LVCC Phase III Renovation project that brings to the team an impressive portfolio of experience with similar projects. Construction Schedule Control The same Project Controls Team headed by John Kudrycki, Kelly Dunn, and Matthew Burns will be responsible for contribution and adherence to the project schedule. The overall project schedule should include the following: LVCC events
Testing and Inspection Activities
Design Package milestones
Commissioning
Entitlements an Permits
Quality Control
Construction Trade Procurement
Certificate of Occupancy
Construction Activities
Substantial Completio
The initial schedule is a collaboration of the Owner, Operator, Construction Manager, and Design Team. Each party has constraints and durations that need to be accommodated by the project schedule. These needs are established in the project inception meeting.
24 | FENTRESS ARCHITECTS I ED VANCE & ASSOCIATES
The Project Schedule is an integral part of the IGMP and the FGM). This cost is based on the project schedule and the sequence of construction. With an incomplete design schedule, contingencies should be included in the IGMP to offset risks of delay. The Design Team has exceptional experience in working with CMs to establish and maintain project schedules on large and phased projects like the Phase III Renovation. The project schedule should be updated monthly by the Construction Manager based on status reports for all the stakeholders. The Design Team will use “Project Completion Estimates” monthly to determine the status of design completion and adjust the design team resources to compensate for work that is either ahead or behind schedule. This is the best predictor that our design package will be on time and complete. Entitlements and permitting often have long durations and may have significant impacts on a project schedule. The Fentress | EV&A Team will meet with governing agencies to determine the most efficient permitting process, their submittal requirements, and turnaround times. This information will be included in the project schedule so that permit submittals are made on time and agency responses can be monitored for progress. On the Colorado Convention Center Phase III Addition, Fentress Architects determined while meeting with the governing authorities that a Site Development Plan Process normally takes 9 to 11 months for approval. This quickly became the critical path for the project. We worked with the City of Denver to minimize the duration of the approval process. Miami Beach Convention Center Cooling Tower
The LVCC Design Team will monitor the process to identify and to track change. Before any changes that will affect budget, schedule, or quality are implemented, the Project Manager and the Project Controls Team will prepare reports; identifying the nature of the change, source, and implications of the change. These reports will not be implemented until authorized by LVCC. Once authorized, the appropriate adjustments will be made to the Project Plan and the team will implement the change. The status of Change Report activity will be included in monthly reports. Decision tracking is an important part of our proposed process. For team meeting memos and the monthly reports, we propose to keep a running list of all key decisions made. For quality control process, we will utilize this Issues/Actions Log as an additional checklist for the team to ensure that all decisions previously reached will be implemented.

Describe your intended approach to integrating the AOR services with the design consultant for the Project. Provide examples of previous experience(s) as deemed appropriate.
Fentress | EV&A embraces the opportunity to work directly with TVS on the Phase III Renovation for the LVCC. Fentress has great respect for the creative design abilities and convention center knowledge that TVS possesses. TVS was selected for the Phase II Expansion and has been working with the Authority on the design for over a year. TVS’ experience in developing the approved design for Phase II will bring invaluable insights and lessons learned to the Phase III Renovation team. The Phase III Renovation has the potential to complete a holistic design for the entire LVCC campus. The design TVS has developed for the expansion will set the architectural vocabulary for all further design. When the Phase III Renovation is complete, there should be a seamless tie between all portions of the LVCC. An attendee to the Center should never feel the experience of the “Old” vs. the “New.” It should feel as one complete center, as if designed at one time. This is the advantag TVS brings to Phase III as the Design Consultant. Fentress | EV&A are creative problem solvers. We sommit to a fully collaborative process that provides the best possible solutions for the center. As public architects, Fentress has 30 years of teaming with other architects to successfully complete projects. During that time, we have teamed with 77 different architects. Thirteen times we have specifically teamed as the AOR with a Design Architect. Approach to Integrating With TVS - Suggested Process Begin the process with a kick-off session. The kick-off would include LVCC stakeholders, Cordell, TVS, and the Phase III Renovation team. During the kick-off, TVS can provide a design presentation to the renovation team so that the team can understand the design and the process to date. The kick-off is an opportunity to establish goals and vision for the Phase III Renovation. A strong understanding at the beginning of the project will help create a more efficient process. As Architect of Record, Fentress | EV&A would see TVS as an integral member of the renovation team. TVS’ role as Design Consultant would provide design input for incorporation into the documents. It is the AOR’s role to manage the team, schedule, and budget so that the approved design gets integrated into the documents and ultimately constructed as desiged.

Fentress | EV&A will schedule regular team meetings. These meetings would consist of two separate meetings. One as an internal design team meeting with all design consultants. The other as an Owner, Cordell, CM project progress meeting. TVS would bepart of these meetings as an integral team member. Communication and collaboration would occur with TVS as necessary to implement the design intent. Fentress | EV&A will establish concise meeting minutes to track decisions during these meetings. These meeting minutes will establish a design log with tasks, responsibilities, and time deadlines clearly defined to keep the project on schedule. Coordination with TVS Design As part of the Phase II Expansion, TVS will have developed finishes and materials that should be incorporated into the Phase III Renovation to foster continuity of the overall design. Coordinatate with TVS on specific building elements that may have been developed that can be utilized into the Phase III Renovation to further the design consistency throughout. Materials, finishes, and details that TVS has developed and vetted with LVCC in the Phase II Expansion can provide an efficient decision making process for the Phase III design team and reinforce the holistic design for a completely seamless LVCC. The Phase III Renovation is a unique opportunity for the LVCC to complete a full transformation and unite the entire campus. Fentress | EV&A commits to working with TVS, LVCCA, Cordell, and the CM to achieve a world-class, holistic renovation, on time and within your budget.

d. Describe your intended approach to collaboration with a Construction Manager during the design and construction phases. Provide examples of previous experience(s) to illustrate your approach as deemed appropriate. Upon award of the LVCC Phase III Renovation, the Fentress | EV&A design team will prepare a schedule that includes meetings with the LVCC management team and the users. These meetings will serve as a forum to update the LVCC about the progress of the project and to gather information related to the design. The progression of the meetings might follow the following pattern: Inception Meeting—All team members will be invited to the inception meeting which will serve as an introduction to the project. The LVCC management team will be asked to provide a brief synopsis of the project and how it will serve LVCC and the community. We will introduce the team members including the design consultants and the other design teams. We will review the project scope and site at a high level. We will establish the project timeline, schedule meeting dates, and create communications protocols. Fentress will produce meeting minutes that record the discussions. Program Review Meeting —All team members, including the LVCC management team and the user organizations, will be invited to the program review meeting. Fentress will lead a review of each of the spaces in the building, open the floor for discussion about refinements to the program that may result in an improved facility. Following the meeting, the program will be refined and published for confirmation of all information recorded. Design Review Meetings—Design review meetings will be held bi-weekly and will include the LVCC management team and user groups. An agenda will be provided one week before each scheduled meeting to document the objectives of the meetings. In these meetings, the design team will review progressive iterations of the design, asking questions and soliciting clarifications. Fentress will produce meeting minutes that document the items covered, issues resolved, and issues that are still outstanding. These meetings will be ongoing throughout the design and documentation phases of the project. When the CM joins the project, they will join the Design Review Meetings, and the meetings will be extended to include a review of the budget. In the budget section of the meeting, we will review materials and systems to ensure that they are both optimal for the project and are a good value. As the CM develops the project cost, these meetings will also ensure that the project is aligned with the budget. If budget issues arise, this meeting will serve as the forum for exploring and selecting materials and systems that bring the project back into alignment with the budget. Upon LVCC management team and user group approval of the conceptual design, Fentress will schedule an initial meeting with the Regulatory Agencies. This meeting will allow the design team to introduce the Regulatory Agencies to the project and obtain their feedback on any areas
32 | FENTRESS ARCHITECTS I ED VANCE & ASSOCIATES
of concern very early in the project. Fentress will follow this meeting with meeting minutes to document the information received and the path forward. At each stage of the project, Fentress will return to review the project with the regulatory agencies. We find that this process engages the Regulatory Agencies in the project in a very positive way, enabling them to fully understand the project, and as such it expedites the permitting process. Throughout the design and construction close coordination with the Construction Manager is essential for the success of the project. Locating a liaison from the CM team with the Design Team provides a day-to-day interaction that keeps the design progress in sync with the budget and schedule. The following measures are integral to this interaction: Definition of project scope through a Basis of Design Document facilitates cost and schedule efforts. The Basis of Design will provide a clear understanding of what each building system and budget line item includes. Cost-benefit analysis of building systems will be performed to determine the best value for LVCC. Development of a construction budget based on the Concept Design Package is critical to start on the right foot. The CM and the Design Team will engage in regular Value Management reviews to keep the project within the budget constraints. Design and Construction Schedule coordination will establish Bid Packages issuances that provide the CM with materials and labor to facilitate the fast-track construction schedule. At the appropriate time Fentress | EV&A will work with LVCC and the CM to establish the Initial and Final Guaranteed Maximum Price. Our participation will include comprehensive drawing and specifications and attending scope definition meetings for each building discipline to reinforce a common understanding of the scope of work. Constructability and phasing reviews by the CM involving the LVCC will inform the Design Team on how the design can facilitate construction sequencing and ongoing building operation. The CM will see advantages to procure certain construction disciplines early in the design to lock in construction pricing and capacity. The Design Team will coordinate with the CM on these early design packages. The CM may engage Design Assist Subcontractors for certain building systems. Fentress | EV&A welcomes their input. We have collaborated with Design Assist Subcontractors on many CM projects. Every project has a lynch pin, whether it is a point in time or an area of the project that is critical to its success. The Design and CM team will collectively anticipate these project “pain points” and creatively produce a design and construction sequence (with contingency plans) that will facilitate a positive outcome. The Design Team commits to LVCC to work as one team with the Construction Manager to creatively solve problems and complete this project on time and within budget. LVCCD PHASE THREE - RENOVATION

Project Management Approach There are three critical elements to Project Management: project control and documentation quality, construction cost, and project schedule. Project Control The Design Team will develop a Project Management Plan, and review it with the Executive Committee. In addition to providing documentation of staffing and technology, the plan provides structure for development of the design and documents, interface with the consultants, periodic quality control/ quality assurance reviews, budgetary constraints, and schedule goals. The meeting to review this information takes place at the beginning of the project, and John Kudrycki, Project Manager, will keep the plan updated throughout the project. Basis of Design Document A Basis of Design (BOD) Document is assembled at the beginning of the project by the Design Team to identify project criteria. The document is used and updated throughout the life of the project as a record of the minimum requirements to which the project must comply. This document is presented and approved by the Owner prior to starting detailed design of the project. The suggested table of contents for the BOD is as follows: Team Space Needs - Space Allocation Tables - Department Profiles - Technical Design Criteria Site Analysis - Zoning/Design Guidelines - Urban Design Context - Utility Capacity - Storm Water Detention/Water Quality - Site Survey - Geotechnical Reports - Site Constraints - Site/Building Layout - Project Expansion Capabilities Building Criteria - Code Analysis (IBC, Local Codes, Neighborhood Guidelines/ Standards, Government Criteria, ANSI, etc.) - Architectural (Design Objectives, Design Approach, Use of Materials, Building Area Calculations, etc.) - Structural - Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing - Security - Elevator Analysis - Parking Analysis - Circulation Study

Project Management Plan Success rarely, if ever, happens accidentally. It is most often the result of clearly visualizing the desired result and then developing a plan of action to successfully attain that result. The Project Management Team assists all key personnel on the team to develop that vision. Formalizing the project goals and implementation plan in written form will allow the team to keep those goals in mind and measure their success in meeting those goals at important milestones along the way. The Project Management Plan is divided into the following four parts: 1. Work Plan The work plan is the architectural portion of the project management plan. It outlines the project’s description, project specific data, project goals, roles and responsibilities among all consultants including internal staff, client contact, and our quality assurance and quality control plan. The document is intended to be released to the owner, consultants, and internal team as needed to communicate project goals. 2. The Technology Plan The Technology Plan sets the criteria for the use of computer technology for the project team. Below are the topics of this section: CAD/BIM Strategies Project Extranet Project Software Analysis Auditing 3. Communications Development Plan This plan defines the opportunities, coordination, rules and limitation requirements, credits, and client satisfaction plan as well as new business and marketing needs for the project.
LVCCD PHASE THREE - RENOVATION

4. Project and Documentation Quality The Project Management Team will have oversight of the development of the design documents, as well as the local members of the team. The Fentress Architects | EV&A Design Team will observe the construction to ensure the information documented is implemented in the field. Fentress has developed and uses a 28 Chapter Procedures Manual for each of our projects. . Following are the subtitles within Chapter 6 which is devoted to Quality Control and Quality Assurance: Design Review – This review ensures that the design meets the client’s programmatic and functional requirements as well as their aesthetic requirements. Sub-System Review – This review looks at enclosure construction and continuity, as well as analyzes building systems for appropriateness and consistency. Documentation Completeness Review – At the 95 percent completion mark of each phase, the documents are analyzed for completeness and compared with Fentress’ completion checklist. Interdisciplinary Review – The QA/QC team reviews the documents to detect any missing or conflicting information. The Design Team keeps a PDF set of documents in a group collaboration software representing the state of the project. Each team member can use them for reference and can review the work as it develops, “redlining” corrections or revisions that are required. Each item is reviewed by the Project Architect to determine if the design must be revised to satisfy the comment. This system ensures that the work produced by the team is complete, coordinated, and ready for construction. Cost Control As part of the Project Management Plan, the Project Management Team along with the Construction Manager schedules periodic cost estimates. These periodic estimates ensure that the progression of the design aligns the project scope with the client’s budget. When the CM joins the project, they will join the Design Review Meetings, and the meetings will be extended for a review of the budget. In the budget section of the meeting, we will review materials and systems to ensure that they are both optimal for the project and are a good value. If budget issues arise, this meeting will also serve as the forum for exploring and selecting materials and systems that bring the project back into alignment with the budget. The Design Team and the CM will evaluate building systems for initial cost and life cycle cost to provide LVCC the best value. Schedule Control The schedule has important impacts on a project and it is the Project Management Team’s responsibility to develop and monitor the design schedule to ensure project success. The Project Management Team develops the design schedule as part of their Project Management Plan, and
54 | FENTRESS ARCHITECTS I ED VANCE & ASSOCIATES
the schedule is designed to comply with the LVCVA’s goals and objectives. The Project Management Team works closely with the CM to incorporate the design schedule into the overall project schedule. The team then monitors the schedule, making modifications as necessary. Modifications might include increasing staffing to ensure deadlines are met, or modifying deliverable packages per the contractor’s request. Throughout the project, the Project Managemeent Team is responsible for keeping the client informed of the progress of the work and any schedule revisions.
Project Communications The Project Management Team is responsible for communication on many levels and will develop a communication plan for each. LVCVA and Cordell During the pre-design, conceptual design, schematic design, and design development phases of the project, the Design Team will hold biweekly meetings with the LVCVA and Cordell. In this meeting, the Project Management Team present updates on the design progress, schedule, and budget. In latter documentation phases, the meetings might only occur once a month; however, the Project Management Team will keep the client informed of all progress throughout this period of time. All meetings will be documented in meeting minutes that will be distributed to the design and owner teams.
Design Team Meeting
Design Team and Design Consultant Communication with the Design Team and Design Consultant will take place in multiple ways. All members will meet weekly in face-to-face or WebEx formats. In these meetings, the team will review document development and system integration. The Project Manager will confirm that the project is progressing according to the approved schedule. Decisions and issues reviewed in these meetings will be documented in meeting minutes and distributed to the team and the client. Decisions made by small groups by phone or email will be documented in a similar manner. The project will be developed in a shared three-dimensional modeling software, and consequently, communications can take place electronically through use of the model.

Construction Manager Communication with the Construction Manager at Risk is critical to the success of a CMAR procurement process. Daily communication of the Design Team should be monitored by the Construction Manager to confirm design decisions are in keeping with the project schedule and construction cost goals. Drawing progress issuances will be scheduled to provide milestone checkpoints for the Construction Manager and the subcontractor team. Co-locating the Construction Manager’s design liaison at the Design Team facilitates the daily communication needed to keep the project cost and schedule up to date. The Construction Manager would also be included in the Design Team consultant coordination meetings. Public Communications The Las Vegas Convention Center is an important facility for the community, and engaging the community in the process will cultivate support for the project. To assist the client in engaging the public in an understanding of the project, the Design Team can provide renderings, physical models, and narratives for public release. The Project Management Team’s primary role is ensuring that all stakeholders and members of the Design Team are fully informed and engaged in the process. The Fentress Architects | EV&A Design Team is committed to provide excellent communication for all parties involved with the Las Vegas Convention Center Phase Three Renovation project.

5. A work plan to demonstrate how inclusion will be monitored during the project and periodically reported to the Authority.
We fully support the LVCVA approach to include small business, womanowned business, minority-owned business, and veteran-owned business into the Design Team for the Phase III Renovation of the Las Vegas Convention Center. We specialize in governmental projects, and are very familiar with soliciting, engaging, and fostering relationships with emerging businesses. Our approach is to fully integrate them into the team and design process. We often pair them in a mentoring relationship with larger established businesses so they can beneďŹ t and grow under the guidance of the larger ďŹ rm. Following is a graphic workplan for the inclusion of small, woman-owned, minority-owned business, and veteran-owned business enterprises followed by a written description of their scope.
