Conceptual Master Plan - Emeryville Center of Community Life

Outline Specifications
For Review and Cost Estimating Purposes
Project:
Architects:
Emeryville Center of Community Life
Field Paoli / HKIT Architects
Date: January 9, 2009
General Notes:
1. This outline specification is intended to serve for construction cost estimating and
discussion purposes only. It is not a construction document.
2. At this time, it is assumed that this will be a publicly bid job. However, the City and
School district are still considering the option of lease / leaseback for project delivery.
If the estimators believe this will have an impact on the cost of construction, that
should be so noted.
3. Because this is in part a school project, all work must conform to DSA standards, and
it will be under the continuous observation of an onsite DSA inspector during
construction.
4. Sustainability is a key goal of this project. We are aiming for LEED silver at the
minimum, hoping to perhaps be able to attain gold rating if we are able to do the
alternate for solar panels.
5. Allow for removal and disposal of any hazardous materials found at the site by a
contractor licensed for that work. As much existing construction material should be
reused in the new project as possible.
Notes on Products, Furnishings and Equipment:
1. All products are specified “or equal”, unless noted otherwise, and are intended to
establish the general level of quality for bidding purposes. Final selections will be
indicated in the Construction Documents.
2. All interior finishes, including carpeting and window coverings are to be included in the
general contract.
3. The general contract will include all built in custom casework items.
4. Other items to be included in the Furnishings & Equipment budget include all movable
furniture, fitness and other equipment, all modular workstations, telephones and
communication equipment . For purposes of this estimate, general contract should be
