2017 Program RFI's

What is an RFI? A Request For Information is a common formal method for a contractor to gather data, clarifications and design intent information from the design professional or client. Like any project we have had a couple questions about the program intent. Here is a list of the questions and answers for further direction or clarification.

Question:

I know the digital site plan is coming but I wanted to clarify something. Site plan on program sheet is labeled at 1" = 100', but description elsewhere indicates it is 1" = 50'. I am fairly certain the latter is correct?

Response:

The Site plan should be 1”=100’-0’. AutoCAD file has been provided here:HSDC AutoCAD site

Question:

I have some students that would like to add a catering staging area / small kitchen area near the gallery space.  In addition, they are asking about storage for tables and chairs, etc. for the gallery space.  Lastly, some students are planning on raised platforms, etc. and will need elevators to access those spaces (FYI)

Lastly, can the boats be of varying sizes?  Some of the students are having difficulty planning the circulation space around 2700 SF of boats.

Response:

Additional spaces for a staging area / small kitchen area or storage space for the gallery are all acceptable provided they fit within the overall square footage of the gallery space.  Raised platforms with elevators or lifts are acceptable.  The boat sizes were given to us by the Great Lakes Historic Society, but they are average sizes.  Deviation from these sizes should be minimal.

Please let us know if you have any more questions or clarifications.
