<br />and site lighting, lighting control systems, lightning protection, grounding systems, surge protection,
<br />generators
<br /> Systems - Cable Television (CATV), Closed Circuit Television (CCTV), fire alarm and mass notification,
<br />voice/data and premise distribution, security, access control, intercom, audio/video systems
<br /> Environmental - Environmental site , permitting municipal solid waste facilities , infrastructure crossing
<br />environmental projects, asbestos abatement, archeological and cultural resource investigations, geotechnical
<br />Additional services include: investigations; s and mapping; test and evaluation modeling and simulation studies and
<br />analysis (including data collection and verification); consultation; construction cost estimates; construction
<br />inspection; preparation of record drawings; soils engineering; drawing reviews; preparation of operational
<br />maintenance manuals; National Historic Preservation Act analysis and documentation; historic and cultural resource
<br />studies site identification s; design review; seismic analysis; design construction cost reconciliation; environmental
<br />testing; statement of work review; site and evaluation; remed iation design; state regulator or EPA compliance for
<br />hazardous materials such as petroleum products, automotive chemicals, asbestos, lead, and radon; designing
<br />security and communications systems; designing fire protection and life safety systems.
<br />
<br /> Other Studies and Related Services include: undertaking of any reviews, studies or investigations; planning
<br />services, site selection services, relocation services, document processing, testing services, professional
<br />experts at hearings, and photographs.
<br />
<br />Design considerations include landscaping, architectural hardware, architectural evaluations, electronic and
<br />communications systems, force protection, electronic communications, environmental or EPA regulatory
<br />considerations including storm water pollution prevention plans and Section 404 Permit considerations.
<br /> Project deliverables include: engineering studies, environmental (wetlands/waters of the U.S., asbestos,
<br />lead based paint, soil, etc.), soil borings/samples for testing, boring logs, CADD produced plans,
<br />specifications prepared utilizing Specsintact software using Unified Facilities Guide Specifications,
<br />construction cost estimates prepared utilizing MII.
<br />
<br />All work will be done by or under the direct supervision of licensed professional engineers or arch itects. Work and
<br />deliverables may also include engineering studies, environmental studies, reports and recommendations;
<br />formulation of facility sustainment programs, CADD produced plans and specifications.
<br />
<br />Construction Plans: Once the preliminary engineering phase has been completed, preparation of the final
<br />construction plans would begin. This would consist of preparing plan sheets, detail sheets and other drawings and
<br />specifications necessary to produce a constructible set of construction documents. Upon the approval from the
<br />City, SGM Engineering will proceed with 30%, 60%, 90%, & 100% review design by City’s Staff, coordinate the
<br />review process with City’s Staff and implement the comments as needed. The construction scheduling is the
<br />key to a successf ul completion. SGM Engineering will assist the City to minimize the disruption in building's
<br />function, by providing steps to use after -hours, weekend and Holidays for major tasks. During the plans
<br />production phase, SGM will keep the City’s Project Manager informed as to the status of the design and plans by
<br />telephone conversation or email. Email has worked very well for SGM on past projects because these project
<br />status emails can be reviewed at staff’s convenience.
