Main Organizers <br /> City of Orono <br /> Police Chief Correy Farniok <br /> Administrator: Jessica Loftus <br /> SKD Architects, Inc. <br /> President Steve Kleineman, AIA <br /> Understanding of the Scope of Work <br /> The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Orono Police Department's building and space needs, <br /> establish a scope of work and provide a rough construction cost estimate to meet those needs. <br /> It is expected that the current building space will be reconfigured to some extent, a small building <br /> addition will be added, and a new garage built to primarily house most of their squad cars. <br /> SKD looks at the current building and space layout, determines their spatial and future functional <br /> needs, and develops a building design concept that responds to those needs which will be practical <br /> and financially responsible. From this plan SKD will establish an expected range of construction costs <br /> for the project, and help to implement the direction needed to accomplish this plan. <br /> Part 1 Police Expansion <br /> SKD Architects <br /> 1. Inventoried the existing building space. <br /> a. Obtained current site and construction drawing information from the original construction. <br /> b. Documented and photographed the current conditions. <br /> c. Put the existing information on CAD as the base sheets for the remodel. <br /> 2. Evaluated how the current space is utilized and how well it meets the functional needs of the <br /> Police department today and into the future. <br /> a. Met with stafF to develop an understanding of their needs and goals. <br /> b. Developed notes and a program identifying the design parameters, space needs, goals, <br /> priorities, equipment, etc. to develop design from. <br /> 3. Developed an agreed to concept plan and image that meets these needs, and determines the <br /> extent of remodel and additional space that will be required. <br /> a. Met several times with the Police department with plans and site changes to review and <br /> refine. The remodel and expansion areas are clearly identified. <br /> b. Met with the Police and Administration to confirm the design intent and success of the <br /> proposed layout. <br /> c. Developed very preliminary exterior building concepts matching the brick, concrete block <br /> and metal roof details established in the original design. This design will really develop in <br /> the next phase of the project after funding is made available and a budget is established. <br /> d. Met with Planning and the Water Shed District to see if the proposed improvements met <br /> city and water shed requirements. <br /> 4. Also, reviewed the general site and parking changes, circulation and secured areas and wetlands. <br /> We addressed some general site changes that were being considered during construction: <br /> a. Reducing the entry points to the city parking off Old Crystal Bay Road <br /> b. Create a main entry that is off of Kelley Parkway <br /> c. Attempt to align driveways <br /> d. Provide a separate secure driveway access off Kelley Parkway for Police vehicles <br /> Page 3 <br />
