Theatre Way and Courthouse Plaza Wind Consultation and Wind-Tunnel Solutions Workshop adverse wind speeds along walkways or other critical areas. These studies are best approached in the workshop format. ESA would assist Freedman, Tung & Bottomley in developing and evaluating possible mitigation measures. As such, Freedman, Tung & Bottomley would develop design concepts for street furnishings, plantings, or components based on ESA comments - for testing of their effects on mitigating winds identified as excessive; ESA or Freedman, Tung & Bottomley, as appropriate, would produce the scale mockups of these components for testing purposes. Model builder time is included to assist with construction of the models to be tested. Building-mounted mitigation measures for the Theatre building on Theatre Way may also be considered. In the workshop, ESA will conduct limited wind testing for identified specific test locations and the major wind direction components as identified in Task 1, with and without mitgations. Only a few combinations of wind direction and test locations will need to be examined, and the participation of the project landscape architect in the test allows the wind consultant to focus quickly on effective solutions. This workshop would provide Freedman, Tung & Bottomley staff in attendance with the ability to observe the performance of their designs and to test alternative design and other mitigation measures. ESA would analyze the data and provide the results to Freedman, Tung & Bottomley and the City. With this test information at hand, the architect can refine these concepts into finished design elements that are practical and aesthetically pleasing. After the workshop session, ESA will present these test data in summary, table form and present all other results and conclusions in an oral presentation to Freedman, Tung & Bottomley staff, for their information. We will make general comments on the existing ano potential future conditions and also recommend remedial measures to improve wind conditions at those locations that do not meet the acceptance criteria developed in Task 1. The testing workshop is expected to yield helpful information in a single working session of 4 hours to a practical maximum of 8 hours of testing. SCHEDULE ESA can begin work upon receipt of written authorization from Client and receipt of all pertinent design and site information. ESA is expects to be able to construct the site and vicinity test model ~ithin 3 weeks of the receipt of all needed information. Once the wind acceptance criteria are approved, completion of the wind test workshop can be scheduled to occur within the following 2 to 3 weeks. ESA will prepare the summary information within the following week to 10 days. FEE The maximum fully burdened fee for the work is estimated to be $13,500. including the costs of Task I and the optional Workshop, Task 2. The actual work would be billed on a Time & Materials basis up to that maximum, with the estimates of the individual task amounts as noted below. These task fees are composed of the following estimated costs: P203394 - Scope, Schedule and Fee Page 4
