Engineering Assignment
1. For the City of RPV, City of Bellevue, and Excerpts from a Typical Construction Contract:
Determine the standard of care (SOC) required by each contract. Identify the section of the contract that defines the SOC. Is this standard of care heightened as compared to the ordinary professional standard of care? Explain your response.
2. Identify the section(s) of the Bellevue Youth Center Expansion Professional Services Agreement that deal with the following contract terms and conditions and prepare an explanation on your understanding if this clause as written would be acceptable or unacceptable and why:
Scope Changes
Contract Termination
Legal Action
Personnel
Negligence/Indemnification
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2 - In-Class Exercise Preparation
Read the scenario below and then study the contract.
You are the CEO for Inland Architects. You firm is well established in Southern California and has a reputation as providing high quality work. Your rates reflect this high quality; they’re above the average rate in the area but they’re not exorbitant.
This is your first significant opportunity to work for a major telecom company. You would really like to close this deal. You believe that this contract could be a stepping stone to other lucrative telecom work. You’ve heard Big Corp is a tough negotiator and seldom gives much on their end of negotiations. You’re willing to accept more risk than you normally would to get this opportunity, but you’ll walk if Big Corp comes in and says “Take it or leave it,” you’ll leave it. You’re not going to sign a bad contract just to get the work.
You’ve decided to focus on your top 3 to 4 concerns. If you can get some movement from Big Corp on these concerns, you can make this contract work. Bottom-line: you don’t have to have it all your way, but you won’t mortgage the farm for this contract.
Read the contract and identify the 3 to 4 areas in which you most want changes from Big Corp. For each area decide what changes would make the contract acceptable to you. Come with written notes, or you won’t be effective in the negotiations.
1. What clauses in the contracts deal with standard of care? Is the required standard of care stated in the contract greater than the ordinary professional standard of care? Which statements from the contract support your view?
2. If you were representing Inland Architects, would you sign this contract as written? If not what paragraphs would you object to?
3. For each paragraph you identified in (2), explain how much you would give up at the Big Corp representative in order to reach an agreement with Inland Architects.

Bellevue Youth Theater Expansion • 173
ATTACHMENT A
PROJECT INFORMATION & SCOPE: Th e proposed scope of work for the Bellevue Youth Th eatre will require a value-added, budget conscious, transparent, and understandable design process that informs and coordinates programming, construction, maintenance, budget, and implementation timeline decisions.
BACKGROUND: Bellevue Youth Th eatre at Ivanhoe Park Bellevue Youth Th eatre’s mission is to provide opportunities in performing arts for all young people, regardless of income or ability, and allow these young people to perform before a live audience, to provide the community with quality productions which are entertaining and/or socially relevant for the entire family.
Bellevue Youth Th eatre is a non-traditional recreation theatre program, uniquely designed to embrace young people from all backgrounds and abilities. Bellevue Youth Th eatre puts every interested participant on stage. Every child is given an important role to play and no child is turned away—the youth and their experience are more important. Th is results in an environment that promotes self-esteem and is attractive to youth who may not have the fi nancial means or ability to be involved in other theatre programs.
Th e Th eatre attracts youth who want to be part of a quality theatre program while enjoying the company of their peers. Th e Th eatre also provides a supportive environment for parents who want to remain involved in their children’s activities. Many parents help with the technical phase of productions or even act with their children.
Bellevue Youth Th eatre started as an outreach program at Crossroads Community Center in 1990. Th e pro- gram, originally named Crossroads Youth Th eatre, grew with the addition of a multipurpose theatre space in 1992. In 2001, the City renovated the Ivanhoe Elementary School site for the 110 seat black box theatre. Th e renovation to the 6,100 SF facility included the main black box theatre space, restroom upgrade, lobby and staff /ticket offi ce, mechanical spaces, green room, and other storage/miscellaneous spaces. Th e adjacent 3,500 SF ‘annex’ building currently houses Bellevue School District storage and a small BYT costume storage space.
In 2004, a new comprehensive business plan and a new name, Bellevue Youth Th eatre was introduced, and along with the formation of the Bellevue Youth Th eatre Academy, a new phase was begun for the BYT. However, the BYT has now reached its space capacity and the ability for the programs to grow is limited.
Park staff conducted a series of charettes with the BYT Board to identify the needs of the theatre. Th ese charettes evaluated the existing theatre for current program areas, perceived successful and problematic areas, future growth options, and anticipated development costs. Th e initial fi ndings determined that the BYT needs signifi cant upgrades to improve safety and security and match Bellevue service standards, including: expanded restrooms, increased lobby space, additional secured dressing rooms (for various ages and gender), and im- proved parking and lighting. Additionally, the BYT needs to be expanded to meet the increasing demand for programs—more rehearsal and classroom space, secured staff and volunteer offi ces, as well as critical storage is needed (see Attachment D—Concept Plans and Program).

Th e BYT Foundation supports this project in order to create capacity to continue growth of this successful program, to protect the theatre’s mission of inclusiveness, to bring the theatre up to standards expected of Bellevue Parks’ facilities, to fulfi ll the BYT Business Plan strategy for expansion, and to demonstrate eff ective- ness of City/Community partnership in the long range vision for Bellevue. Th e expansion has been estimated to be $2.5 to $3.5 million and will allow the BYT to continue to serve the community for many years to come.
PUBLIC OUTREACH: A public involvement process will be required as part of the scope of work. Th e City will assist in the organization, however, the overall coordination and documentation will fall within the contracted scope of work.
Th e design team is expected to participate in a minimum of one (1) public meeting to relay general information to the community and solicit input, a minimum of two (2) meetings to inform and seek input from the BYT Board. Additionally, the team may be asked to present to the City’s Park & Community Services Board. Any additional outreach meetings beyond this minimum will be determined by the City.
PROGRAMMING: Th is step will assist to address the opportunities, constraints, and benefi ts of the existing facility and how the newly identifi ed program requirements will aff ect the current use. Th is will assist to verify square footage of the size and arrangement of the spaces: storage, instructional opportunities, recreational com- ponents, and other requirements. Additionally, the team will need to work with the City and BYT members to review and identify how the conceptual components of the BYT expansion will be structured:
• Potential programming confl icts (site and building) to be included for analysis • Potential code issues and recommendations • How the individual Programmatic elements eff ect the current programming and existing structures • Schedule/timeline showing when major milestones for tasks and subtasks will be completed
PLANNING/DESIGN: Th e planning and design phases will include all diagramming and documentation, and will incorporate recommendations received from City staff , the community, and/or the BYT Board, through construction documentation. Initial building strategies have been identifi ed, and will be used as a basis for design (see Attachment D—Concept Plans and Program).
Th is stage will need to identify the critical components of the BAC and address: • How the individual programmatic elements eff ect the existing facility and site • Code requirements and potential permit confl icts and constraints • Cost estimating • Marketing strategies and analysis, including various conceptual illustrations and marketing tools
Conceptual design documents will need to include, at a minimum: written program; site and building diagrams and graphic presentations containing design objectives, space requirements, relationships, site conditions, perspective sketches/renderings, computer modeling, and/or a combination of these media; potential traffi c study and concerns; code requirements and potential confl icts; and preliminary construction and operational estimates. Th ese estimates will be divided into specifi c program components/features which can be added or deleted from the conceptual complex.
Tasks associated with the development of the design include, but are not limited to:
Task 1 – Contract Scope Goal: Defi ne and agree to a Scope of Work.
