PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FEE PROPOSAL, PHASE I
S+A PROJECT NO. 01120
Dear Mike:
Song + Associates is pleased for the opportunity to provide professional services for Phase I Space Programming /
Building Needs Assessment and Site Selection Analysis / Ranking for your new Village of Tequesta Center.
Song + Associates proposes to provide you with Architzctural and En�ineering services for the initial Scope of
Work. The project Scope of Services to be provided by Song + Associates for the new Village of Tequesta Center is
to be segregated into two separate efforts of work. The services will be identified as Phase I and Phase II. Phase I
will consist of two components to track simultaneously and will be identified as IA Space Programming / Building
Needs Assessment and as IB Site Selection Analysis. Later, Phase II will consist of the specialized Architectural and
Engineering services of Schematic Design, Bidding and Negotiation and Construction Adnninistration.
For this Professional Services Fee Proposal, only Phase IA and IB are to be described and presented for review and
approval by the Village of Tequesta.
Phase I
A. Space ProErammin� / Buildin� Needs Assessment
1. The Space Programming i Assessment effort will explore the current and future needs of space
allocation for the Village Departments to be housed at the new Center through personal interviews and
would include the following multiple tasks:
• Identify departments
• Obtain department or�anization charts
• Have face-to-face interviews with designated staff to determine staffing space needs now and in
the near future.
• Have individual meetings with Commissioners to include input on Public Community spaces as
well as any desired private spaces.

• Agree upon function of each staffer
• Ab ee upon ranking of each staffer
• Determine optimal department adjacencies and functional working relationships.
• Provide public forum for community information for potential community space and its
relationship to the administrative spaces.
Upon conclusion of interviews, Song + Associates will produce a database and diagramic illustrations to conclude
departments, staffing, sizes and types of work spaces, types of common spaces to equate to a desired amount of
building area. This database and illustrations will be documented for distribution, review and approval by the
Village, and this document will, then, be the basis of design criteria for the Phase II work.
B. Site Selection Anal,�
1. The Site Selection effort will include investigations into the advantages and disadvantages of the two
identified Center sites and would include the following multiple tasks:
• Review the historical aspects of land use, previous building uses, public use, etc.
• Review traffic patterns with the Village Engineer (Traffic Study in not included as Basic Service).
• Review current, planned and future developments surrounding the site.
• Review site specific aspects, natural and man-made (Geotechnical Service is not included as Basic
Service).
• Investigate potential hardships
• tnvestigate obvious assets
• Investigate cost and time implications due to ownership, zoning, political equations.
• Confer with local agencies having jurisdiction for official input.
This effort will also include design aspects such as site access, relationship to adjacent neighborhoods,
highest and best use of each property, image evaluation for the new Village Center, appropriateness of
the proposed land use, etc.
To allow proper evaluation this effort will also include community involvement through public
workshops. To that end, Song + Associates will conduct three community workshops to establish
public comment regarding which of the two sites should receive the new Center. Song + Associates
will design, produce and distribute throu�h the mail service a flyer announcement to notify all
Tequesta residents of the community workshops. Song + Associates will also secure a"Public Notice"
in each of the Palm Beach Post and Jupiter Courier Newspapers to announce the community
workshops.
The connments received by Song + Associates from the community and from its conclusion to findings
of evaluation will conclude with the technical ranking of each site, and one site will be recommended
to the Village for review and approval.
The Programming / Assessment effort will be conducted by Song + Associates. The Site Selection Analysis will
involve Song + Associates (Architect), LBRH (Civil Engineer) and Gentile and Associates (Landscape).

Tom Jensen naminated JaAnn Forsythe as Chair. The nomination was
seconded by Michael Couzw, and carried. by unanimons 3-0 vote.
V. Discussion Regarding Negotiation of $ Contract with Song + Associstes
Mr. Couzzo indicated that the intent was for the work of Song + A,ssociates to
be completed in two phases. The first phase would consist of analyzing the two
sites, 357 Tequesta. Drive and the site located on the old Tequesta. Plaza
property, for viability and suita.bility for a Village Center or Village Hall
complex and to do a needs assessment and programming for Villag� staffand the
community at large. I?uring Phase One the site would be determined as well as
the building si�e. Phase Two would consist of the plans, specifications, and
actual construcrion. Mr. Couzzo indicated that unlike the Architectural and
Engin�ering Selection Committee for Tequesta �7illage Center, this Committee
would stay open and viable until the 6na� phase was finished, and reminded the
members of the Committee they could not have communication outside the
public meetings.
Mr. Jensen commented that it would be logical to conduct the needs asses�ment
first. Young Song indicated that the needs assessment could be done
simuttan.eously with the programming. Mr. Couzzo clarified that the needs
assessment wauld address needs by departments, needs of staff, and needs ofthe
Village Council and would indica.te the size of staffneeded.. Ms. Song explained
that every organization had different levels of fiannction--what staffneeded to do
their work--and her company would prepare a space program chart based on the
proper function level. Song + Associates would analyze tlie filing system,
storag� system, common support facility system ar�d decide such items as
whether one centralized copy machine would meet staff needs or if individual
departments needed their own copy machines. Chair Forsythe inquired whether
this type of wor� was typical of architectural fu which Ms. Song indicated.
it was, but was a specialized. service, explained that they would meet initially
with department heac�s to determ.ine what they thtiught they w�1d need and if

they had any future plans for the next 5-10 years, and based on the department
head's plan they would transfer that person's ideas to the space requirement.
The work process would be reviewed, including how long records were kept,
and the architectural firm could decide from that what size rooms were needed_
Ms. Sang indicated that their main goal was to come up with the mast effii.cient
p1an and not to lock in the Village, but to look atiead 5-10-20 yea,rs. Ms. SQng
commented that after all departments were reviewed, they would look at how
the departments worked together. Discussion would take place regarding a
possible community center, Council chamber, who would use the building, and
how it would be accessed, etc. They would go through a dream �tage called
programming then put tha.t together with the budget to arrive at what could
realistically be accomplished. Mr. Couzw cammented. that the Village had
discussed a Village Hall at anywhere from 8,000 #017,000 square fe�t , so Song
+ Associates would na�row that, then go back to the Village Council. The
Village Council. might change the Charnber si�e, but for example probabty would
not provide a lot of input to the Finance Department space, but they woulcl be
interested. in the Village Chamber space DiSCUSSlOil eriStl�. MS. S011g
explained that the needs assessment would be �nished. first ��.use it would
show the siz� of building that needed to be built and the site, which would be
Phase I. Phase II would begin with work on the preliminaries. Mr. �uzzo
clarified that Song + Associates was only being engaged gresently for Phase I.
Ms. Song explained that the eost estimate would nvt su�port doing a tra�c
study unless it had to be done , and sne hoped to use existing data.. To fairly
compare the two di.fferent sites, the same building size would'be used ancl the
�rm would come back with a range for the cost, plus a ti.me is money factor
depending on the Village's schedule to complete the project. Mr. Couzzo
commented the Village Hall wo�.ld probably be t�vo stories. Ms. Song
commented that Iocations east or west of the railroad track wouid be considered,
Five sites had been analyzed for the City of �Vest Palm Beach, and Ms. Song
described how her fum had compared those sites and the process used in order
to get to the dolla�s, and to compare apples to apples. They ass�med if the land
wa.s sold how much money the City would keep. Other considera.tions were
dollars, �ime, and psychological and sociological issues and their importance to
the Village.

Mr. Couzzo commented. that the Committee was to give tasks to the architect
today and negotiate a fee for those tasks. Mr. Couzzo commented he wanted
to i.ncorpora.te three not to exceed 90-minute presenta.tions to the community,
one da.yti.me, one evening, and one on Saturday. The second workshop would
include material Iearned at the first workshop, and th� final one would includ.e
all of the input. Ji.m Humpage indicated that past presentations had allowed 15
minutes for questions from the public and more time was neecied for the citizens
to present their input. Ms. Song suggested 30-40 minutes for a presentaxion and
then that much time would be left to hear the citizens. Mr. Couzzo noted. that
the last presentation would be longer because it vvould incorporate all �he input,
Mr. Humpage suggested holciing six workshops for three presentations --two just
alike for each of the three p�esentations. Mr. Jensen explained that ra�her than
presenting the same information, at the first one there would be a lot of
questions, at the end of the s�cond one the questions residents a�ked at the �rst
one could be presented, building on the first workshop. Mr. Couzzo stressed the
concept was for communi�y input and interaction. Mr. von Frank comm�nted
that Ms, Song needed to be aware things were changing and that there would be
134 condos across the street soon. Mr. Couzzo indicated she would be mad�
aware of that.
The scape of services was discussed. Ms. Song reviewed engineering issues
to be eo�ered, suggesting that Reese Macon & Associates could provide history
of field engineering items such as including water service, sewer, ide�t�ifying
government approvals, SFWMD requirements, Palm Beach County H�alth
Degartment issues, and traffic for both sites. Ms. Song indicated her engineer
would analyze the site issues. Population, designing for the future, and how
other amenities could be designed would be considered. Mr. Couzw clarified
that Reese Macon and Associates could not be a part of Song + Assaciates'
presenta�ion since they were acting as the Village's representa.tives. Mr. Couzzo
comm�nted that in order to present a negotiated agreement to the Village
Council on June 14 it must be done at this meeting, and requested Ms. Song's
proposal. Mr. Couzzo clarified there was no budget. Ms. Song proposed during
Pha.se I to use civil engineers Lindahl Browning Ferrari & Helstrom, and
Landscape Architect George Gentile's firm to address comprehensive plan and
NIINUTES OF THE ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING NEG4TIATING

code issues. Ms. Song indicated 5 hours had been allowed for public
presentation. Ms. Song commented she did not have a structural engine�r. Ms.
Song explained she did not have a traffic study and ciid not think one would be
needed because the road was designed to handle traffic on both sides and there
should be existing traffic data. Traffic consultants had not been included.
Actual soils tests were not included because the downtown site shoutd be ready
to go and the other site should have been tested for the public safety facility.
Mr. Couzzo questioned what difficulties would be encountered if the well was
movad on the old site. Ms. Song indicated no serious difficulties should result
if no indian arrows or gopher tortoises were found . Mr. Couzzo asked if all
analyses done now would i.mpact Phase II costs, which Ms. Song verified. Ms.
Song pro�ided a breal�down of projected costs for programming and for site
selec�ion. Mr. Couz�o explained that the int�.t was to bring this to the Village
Council for their July meeting. Ms. Song indicated Phase I could be done in 30
days. The proposed amount was $45,858 for Phase I as discussed. Ms. Song
stated. that am.ount includ.ed civil engineering and landscape architecture, Ms.
Couzzo asked if that $45,858 included the needs analysis, site analysis, and
presentation to the community, which was veri�ed by Ms. SQng. The
breakdown was as follows: Programming phase -$17,670; site selection work
by f.he architect $13.364; engineering by LBFH $12,978; work by the Iandsea.pe
archi.tect $1, 850. A breakdown for personnel man hours and tasks was included
in the proposal. 190 hours were allotted. for Song + Associates. Ms. Song
explained how the hours compared to the job they had done for the Town of
Jupiter. Mr. Couzzo questioned what percenta.ge of the total work Ms. Song
would consider this to be, to which Ms. Song responded the programming and
site selection work was an additiorial service and not a standard architectural
confiract. Ms. Song explained that during this phase she would envision layouts
because she could not give answers without knowing where she was gc�ing. Mr,
Couzzo asked if Phase II would be a pereentage or a flat number. Ms. Song
explained that depended on things that were unknown now and things could
happen to cause changes, such as being asked to consider a third site, or maybe
the very first design would be chosen, and they would just try to do things in
steps. Mr. Humpage asked if after the need.s assessment the only thiiig that
might change would be the architeetural value, which Ms. Song indicated was

correct and stressed how important the programming was hecause it would set
up a future plan, and this was the right way to analyze what wa.s needed. and
where the Village was going so there would be a minimum impact later. Ms.
Song described other jobs done by Song + Associates which were si.milar in
size: the master plan for Palm Springs, a similar size building for B►oynton
Beach, the Jupiter project, and a customer service buitding for Pa1m Beach
County water utilities. Mr. Humpage complimented Song + Associates for their
work in designing �the Republic Bank. Ms. Song described. how that project had
been done. Ms. Song suggested tha.t anyone interested. in viewing a project
similar to the one proposed for the Village go to see the Arnerican Qrchid
Society International Headquaxters building in Dekay Beach in the Murakami
Museum Park, where her firm had done this same process. Ms. Song described
the programming book tha.t would be developed which would include
urformation on existing and proposed buildings, site analysis, and a rough
footprint based on the needs assessment. Presentations would utilize power
point, boards, and handouts-whichever types of inedia the Village believed
would make the public most comfortabla-and the report would probably be
divided irrto two sections, one for needs assessmerrt and the other fQr site
analysis. Ms. Song verified that the sites would actually be ranked and one
recommended over the other, Mr. Humpage suggested using power point
presentations. Ms. Song conf'umed. they could do that type of presentation but
might also blow up one slide and print it on a board. Ms. Song clarified there
would be no rendering of a building, just a footprint of a building. Ms. Song was
requested to provide the booklet used for their presentation dt�ring the
architectural selection process to the members of the committee. Mr. Jensen
asked if the proposed amount was cost plus or a lump sum, to vvhich Ms. Sc�ng
responded. it was a lump sum. Mr. Couzzo commented it would be more
expensive to do the work this wa.y because multiple sites were being analyzed.
Mr. Jensen commented he had e�ected a number in the range of the one
presented; that the number was not that large for the programming phase, that
he ha.d no problem with other items and two sites were being done, so the
numbers proposed were reasonable when one looked at what the Village was
getting. It wa.s noted that a needs assessment was really needed and that one
had probably never been done. Mr. Couzzo stated his analysis indic,a.ted the

numbers were within reason, and that the Village would expect a superior
product. Ms. Song stated they would do their best. Mr. Couzzo explained that
the Village Council would make tne decision to go to Phase II, and Phase I
needed to meet their expectations. Chair Forsythe questioned at what point the
presentations would be made. Mr. Couzzo indicated the initial presenta.tion
should be very soon because public input would need to be known; xhe seeond
pres�ntation could be in the middle of th.e period and the last one at the end. Ms.
Song suggested the first presenta.tion might be just to hear residents comments
and take notes, and then to analyze those comments for the second presenta.tion,
which would be more polished. Mr. Couzzo requested in addition ta the
proposal that Song + Associates produce a mailer to every resident in the
community to include a synopsis of the process and the three presentation dates,
that Song + Associates put a notice in the newspapers, and the Village would
also provide notice in the newspapers, to do everything possible to notify as
many r�sidents as possible. Ms. Song commented that the final presentation
wouid be more like an actual presentation. Mr. Couzzo notetl xhat mi.nutes
would be done for the presenta.tion meetings. It was suggested that a 5-10
minute recap of the previous presentation be done at the second meeting and at .
the third and final meet Mr. Jensen described the workshops as a series of
workshops built on others whieh would be a building process. Ms. Song
indicated this would allow true community input. Mr. Humpage and Mrs. Nagy
favored workshops after working hours, at 7 p.m. Mr. Couzzo commented the
Village Council could determine the times. Mr. Humpage commented this was
the largest capital project the Village had eve�r undertaken and a quality product
was expected, and the Village should not be afraid to spend money on the right
product. Mr. Jensen commented it was great to see Song + Assaci�.tes chosen
since they would provide a quality product. Clarification was requested by Mr.
Couzzo that Ms. Song agreed to include in her proposal a newsletter or mailing
and mail it out plus to do an advertisement in the Palm Beach Post and Jupiter
Courier. Ms. Song commented this might need to be handled as a rei.mbursable
beca.use she did not know how many would need to be mailed. Mr. Couzzo
responded that the Village would provide a mailing list on a disk. Ms, Forsythe
indicated a notice could be placed. on water bills. Mr. Gilstad commented one
person would be needed to receive phone calls af�er the advertisements were

published. The length of time that would be needed for Phase Qne was
discussed. Ms. Song indicated. she believed it was important for Mr. Couzzo to
be a.t tlie presentations, and he was going to be on vaca.tion_ It was determined
that 30 days might not be suff'icient ti.me. Ms. Couzzo indicated that a Special
Village Council meeting could be held at the end of July. The proposed
schedule was to bring the negotiated contract to the Village Council on June
14,and to ho�d the initial workshop on Tuesday, June 19, at 7 p.m., probably as
a Special Village Council meeting or Village Council workshop so that the
Councilmembers could all interact. Mr. Couzzo indicated he would consult the
Village Attorney regarding the meeting format. For the mailing, Mr. �ouzzc�
indica.ted the Village could provide a disk of narnes and addresses, Ms. Song
indicated they could go ahead. and design a one-page f(yer which would contain
the three meeting dates and if the da.tes were changed they would be able to go
into the computer and change them. It was indieated there were approximately
2200 residents. The second meeting was proposed for Saturd,ay, Ju1y 14, andh
Tuesday night, July 24 for the final presentation. It was estimated another week
would then be needed to forma�ize the report, although Ms. Song hoped the
report would be final at the last presenta.tion. August 14 was proposed for a
Special Village Council meet�ng to be held in order for the Village Council to
hopefully approve the recommendation and direct the AdministratiQn t4 enter
into the second pha.se of negotiations, after which this Committce would
recanvene to discuss the design for the site selected.. Mr. Couz�o indica.ted that
a site would be determined from the ranking. Mr. Humpage asked what would
happen if it was deter�nined both sites were viable. Mr. Couzzo responded that
the process could stop until a referendum could be held and the architects would
get a break. It was a,nnounced that the referendum process had already been
started. Mr. Humpage asked if a contract could be done for Phase II in
November. Iliscussion ensued. Mr. Couzzo explained that policy issues were
a function of the Village CouMCil, not a function of this Committee, that the
Committee would make their report, the architects would make the�r report, �the
Village Council as policymakers would then determine the acti.on to be taken,
not the Committee. The Village Council would tell Administration and this
Comm.ittee how to proceed.. Mrs. Nagy asked that t11e Village make sure Ms.
Song was willing to wait until after a referendum.
