2. PROJECT OVERVIEW AND SCHEDULE

2.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW LCRA has approved a project to renovate office space on the 5 th floor of the Shapiro Building which was recently vacated by a tenant. The project will reconfigure offices to meet the needs of certain LCRA management functions that will be consolidated in this area. The space to be renovated totals approximately 11,000 square feet and will include hard wall offices, conference rooms, break room, huddle rooms, collaborative areas, reception, copy room, elevator lobby, open office and restrooms. The entire 5th

(top) floor will be vacant during construction, but all other floors will occupied during construction. Construction activities must minimize impact to existing operations and certain disruptive work activities such as demolition may be performed on nights and weekends as required.

LCRA recently engaged STG Design (Architect) to provide design and construction administration services for the project. STG’s design team includes MEJ & Associates and Datacom Design Group. Architect’s services include collaboration with the CMAR as part of the Preconstruction Services further described in this RFP. The CMAR delivery method was selected for this project to enhance cost control, quality and schedule performance.

The renovation scope is limited to interior work and will include demolition, drywall, doors, glass wall systems, interior finishes, millwork, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, security, data and audio visual systems.

City of Austin building and trade permits will not be required since LCRA is an agency of the State of Texas and the property is state controlled.

The current anticipated Cost of the Work as defined in Article 8.3 in the attached contract for this project is approximately $500,000.
