PBC wants to be part of these discussions in considering construction and operating cost differences. DDP stated that there is a 1 -3% reduction in operating and construction costs when going from 2 story to 3 story. 12/8/11 PBC needs to vote on the preference for 2 story versus 3 story at next meeting. DDP will prepare presentation. 7.14 Schematic Design 11/17/11 PBC requested that some discussion take place with DDP and PBC over design styles and aesthetics as the architects should be aware of what general direction the PBC feels the design should be so as not to waste valuable and limited time in design phase. DDP stated that SD deliverables would include: Cost Estimates, Narrative on Systems, Narrative on Site, Narrative on finishes, Plans, Elevations, sections, Rendering and permitting issues 12/1/11 DDP expressed that the design phase would be beginning and there was general discussion on the design clues, historical elements and features. PBC suggested that the architects not cast the design features too quickly until they make some suggestions to the PBC to confirm an appropriate direction. 7.15 Conservation A proposal was reviewed to have GLM engineering prepare and submit an Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation to formalize the discussions with conservation on the impacts to the project.
