Notes on process/experience
This company seems to misunderstand the project, their
proposal includes gathering data to hold in an asset management system
more like database entries than a comprehensive master plan
Firm specializes in energy consumption and efficiency, focus on energy audits
Promises a 30% savings in energy consumption
Scope focuses on energy efficiency, evaluating building envelope, lighting and HVAC for efficiency
Does not mention finishes, flooring, lighting design and bathroom fixtures, ADA compliance, etc.
Extensive experience with libraries, thorough plan including meetings with stakeholders before assessment begins
Scope mentions all areas of concern although it refers to details from a different project in another community
Thorough assessment covers all of the elements mentioned in the RFP as well as
as lighting recommendations and an ADA review. Mentions potential for solar PB,
plumbing upgrades and solutions for air handlers other than full replacement.
Costing would be based on recent projects and knowledge of the market
Great experience with assessing library buildings and master plans for same.
Thorough plan outline: kickoff, interviews, review of docs, bi-weekly status meetings
Offers Harvey Construction as optional for costing estimates; | would recommend we add that if we chose this vendor.
Thorough plan outline, includes grounds and recommended maintenance, lighting review as well as
all mechanical systems, windows and electrical systems. Costing provided by Harvey
