SCOPE OF SERVICES, CONTRACT TIME, FEE SCHEDULE
PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTING SERVICES
This is an exhibit attached to and made part of the Agreement dated May 20, 2020 between
Dennis Mires. PA (ARCHITECT) and the City of Nashua, New Hampshire {OWNER}.
This exhibit describes the Scope of Services, Contract Time, and Fee Schedule for the project
known as the MVR, TAX, ASSESSING, CITY CLERK BUILDING MODIFICATIONS DUE TC THE
COVID 19 PANDEMIC.
1.0 The Basic Services of an ARCHITECT as described in Article 2 of said agreement as amended
and supplemented as follows:
Scope of Work
This project involves consulting with the Administrative Services Division, City Clerk and
Financial Services Division, as well as personnel in Information Technology and providing
technical assistance as needed.
Tasks may include, but are not limited to:
This is a redesign of the office space to reconfigure the workstations and customer reception to
keep up with ADA needs and the Covid19 separation requirements, as well as general updates to
security and finishes that were already being discussed. There will be a new concept of how to
receive customers (behind glass) and to provide partitions/sneeze guards between employees, as
well as for the workstations and desks that provide for online registration and typical office
operations. Customer queues will be rethought so customers don’t have to touch doors and they
can keep safe separation while in line. The main doors will need to have hold opens so they can be
opened in the morning but will shut automatically when an alarm is sounded and may
be tied in with the fire alarms. Additional security features will be integrated into the design
solution like glass wall and doors for separation between the public and employee areas and glass
kiosks that respect the distance between customers while in line or being assisted by a city
employee.
The mechanical should be fine as is, unless walls are moved or added, but all the lighting will be
updated with LED lights. The ceiling grid on the main level should be fine for reuse, but the lower
level ceilings will be replaced, Integral with reconfiguring the desks for new millwork and separation
the wall finishes will be updated. It is our intent to salvage as much of the flooring as possible, but the
Main level floors will require ADA accessibility, thus eliminating the “raised floor’ in the Motor Vehicle
Division.
We feel the project does not require full MEP design. Along with our architectural design
documents we will provide Electrical engineering to prepare a fire alarm narrative report,
drawings for replacing existing fluorescent lights with LED fixtures, and preparation of
construction documents and specifications for the building electrical systems including:
Modifications to the existing Normal Power Distribution, power outlet system, Lighting,
Emergency Lighting, Lighting Control and fire detection and signaling system. ff Structural
Engineering and/or Mechanical, Plumbing or Fire Protection Engineering is required we would
provide that as an additional service.
