RFQ/RFP/BID #2015-16
Office of the Mayor:
It is with great enthusiasm and an cipa on that Quisenberry Arcari Architects, LLC submits our qualifica ons for your review and considera on for the “Architectural and Consultant Design Team Services for the Ledyard Middle School and the Gallup Hill Elementary School
Projects”. Our team consists of a uniquely qualified group of professionals with extensive K-12 educa onal project experience in Connec cut including numerous master-planning and renova on and specifically “Renovate as New” projects. Key personnel of the QA team
have extensive experience in the programming, planning and design of educa onal facili es. Our Team has completed over fi y educaonal projects in Connec cut, and in the process has developed a strong working rela onship with the Office of School Facili es. Our
team’s goal is to “exceed the expecta ons of our clients through excellence in design and uncompromising service.”
At QA Architects it is our belief that successful projects are the result of hard work, experience, and uncompromising a en on to detail.
A unique aspect of the QA Team is our commitment and ability to provide principal level a en on to each project. As principal, I will personally oversee all aspects of the planning, programming and documen ng of the Ledyard Middle and the Gallup Hill Elementary School
Projects and will be directly involved in every phase of the work. My focus for the past twenty five years has been on educa onal projects
and my personal experience as principal and project manager includes over twenty “Renovate as New” projects.
A significant part of the QA team’s past experience includes the programming, planning, design and renova on of municipal projects.
These projects required the evalua on and upgrade of HVAC Systems, code analysis, infrastructure replacement, ADA upgrades, building
addi ons, interior and exterior renova ons, re-roofing, fire alarm / sprinkler updates; and complete compliance with the public safety /
building code and the Americans with Disabili es Act / Sec on 504. Recently QA Architects has executed a facility study and design for
Wethersfield High School and implemented a Renovate as New approach.
Quisenberry Arcari Architects has assembled a project team that has specific renova on experience to execute the Ledyard schools projects. Key members of the team have visited the schools and have an understanding of the educa onal program and facility condi ons.
The team will focus on analyzing the exis ng design concepts as well as condi ons and assets, confirming and refining the educa onal
program, reviewing state reimbursement and evalua ng the overall budget and schedule. We will also conduct an ini al review and analysis for High Performance Building and the LEED cer fica on process, to allow you to consider the possible advantages to implemen ng
LEED for these projects. The QA team will assist the Town of Ledyard with upda ng submissions to the State of Connec cut Department
of Educa ons for any program modifica ons or updates to grant applica ons.
A twenty four person firm, of architects, interior designers and engineers, Quisenberry Arcari Architects, LLC was founded in 1994 and is
the perfect size firm to meet the design challenges and technical requirements of your project. All key members of the team have significant K-12 experience and we believe that our team will provide your project the priority and every day a en on it deserves.
QA Architects is focused on developing a strong client base and we look forward to adding Ledyard schools to our por olio of sa sfied
clients. Please find enclosed a profile of our team’s experience and some highlights of the work we have executed in the past few years. I
trust that a thorough review of this proposal will demonstrate our qualifica ons for this project, our experience in this building type, and
our enthusiasm to work with Town of Ledyard.
I am available at your convenience to discuss any aspects of this proposal and I look forward to a personal interview with the selec on
commi ee to further discuss our qualifica ons, your projects, and ul mately how we will help make it a success.
Sincerely,
Amr Rusty Malik AIA, LEED AP – BD&C

of architectural designs and the produc on of construc on documents. Our architectural staff has been trained in Revit 2013 and
Autodesk 2013 and is used exclusively for the execu on of all projects. The QA design team is a strong proponent of BIM and supports
the industry development of the technology. Although many client and construc on professionals are not yet set up to fully realize all of
the benefits of BIM models in the design or construc on process, our strategy and direc on is to pursue BIM integra on on all suitable
projects. We are poised to implement a full ‘4D’ BIM strategy for this project. Our team used BIM technology to model and facilitate the

As the popularity of BIM software gained momentum with the architectural community, CES welcomed
this new technology to coordinate and aid in clash detection with our 3D drawings. Early in 2009, AuWRGHVN5HYLW0(3ZDVUHOHDVHG0(3ZDVDVLJQLÀFDQWLPSURYHPHQWRYHULWVSUHGHFHVVRU:H
embraced this software and started to utilize BIM to its full potential of project coordination. At present,
we use Revit MEP 2013 on all of our new projects.
“I have been very satisfied with the result of their commissioning and the professional level or service offered by CES. CES showed
a desire and subsequent effort to provide us with a well controlled and fully operational building. It was clear there would have been
items which were overlooked had CES not been onboard. They played a crucial role in the process and made the final turnover
process easier on us as we felt confident that they were looking out for our best interest.” – David Fresk, CREC.

BSC Group Qualifications
BSC Group is a collaborative practice of planners, engineers, and scientists who are
thoughtfully transforming our environments with projects in site
development, transportation, and energy. Founded in 1965, the
firm offers the services of more than 100 professionals operating
from four offices in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Our consulting staff represents the best talents in planning, engineering, regulatory permitting
and ecological science, landscape architecture, land surveying, and spatial information systems.
Our greatest strength lies in our collaborative approach to
projects, involving all members of our multidisciplinary staff as
necessary, leading to better and more creative solutions
throughout the life of the project. We also encourage the
involvement of our clients in every step of the process, resulting in high quality planning and
design that is technologically and environmentally sound, economically feasible, and
aesthetically pleasing.
BSC’s design team has extensive experience in providing effective solutions to design
challenges posed by educational projects. Our civil engineering capabilities are comprehensive,
and address all phases of a project, including identification of key
issues, engineering studies, design (plans, specifications, and
contract documents), permitting through local and state agencies,
and construction phase support. Our civil engineers are adept at
working interactively on multidisciplinary project teams, allowing a positive exchange of ideas
and development of collaborative solutions to complex problems. BSC's technical expertise is
complemented by in-depth knowledge of local, state, and federal
regulatory processes. We recognize the value of ecologically
responsible and sustainable practices, including integrating school
facility infrastructure with Low Impact Design (LID) principals for
parking areas, stormwater management, hardscaping, plantings, and playgrounds.
BSC understands the dynamics involved in the construction of K-12 projects. To support our
designs, we provide ongoing civil engineering expertise throughout the construction phase.
Because of our knowledge and experience, we can offer timely response to contractor
questions and "in-the-field" recommendations to expedite the intent of design.

QUALIFICATIONS/PAST PERFORMANCE
Quisenberry Arcari Architects has designed several Connec cut public school
projects including elementary middle and high school as defined in the minimum
qualifica on criteria. Addi onally all key professionals assigned to the Ledyard
Schools project teams have extensive K-12 educa onal experience while employed
at other firms as is evident in their resumes.
State of ConnecƟcut Bureau of School FaciliƟes Experience: Senior members of
the QA design team have dedicated a majority of their professional career working
on PK-12 educa onal projects in Connec cut. Our understanding and knowledge of
the State Grant process and the requirements of the Office of School Facili es, is extensive. Mr. Malik the project manager and principal has assisted numerous school
districts in Connec cut successfully navigate the state process over the past twenty
ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE
four years. Our team understands the change order documenta on require-
K-12 Education
ments and the details required by the OSF to ensure appropriate reimbursement
Municipal
for change orders. We have assisted many districts from the ini al filing of the
Commercial
grant applica ons, the EDO-49 through the closeout documenta on, the EDO-49F
Healthcare
as well as the State Audit process. QA Architects senior staff has recently assisted
Public Housing
the town of Wethersfield though the State Grant Applica on process including the
filing of the Renovate as New applica on. Furthermore we have been successfully in obtaining a 100% space standards waiver which maximized the towns state
reimbursement.
BIM & 3D Modeling - Building InformaƟon Management: The QA Design Team
understands the importance of Building Informa onal Modeling in the development of architectural designs and the produc on of construc on documents. QA
Architects commi ed to BIM five years ago with a goal of full BIM integra on for
design and construc on documents on all projects. Most of our architectural staff
has been trained in Revit 2013 and Autodesk 2013 and is used exclusively for the
execu on of all projects. Although many client and construc on professionals
are not yet set up to fully realize all of the benefits of BIM models in the design or
construc on process, our strategy and direc on is to pursue BIM integra on on all
projects. We are poised to implement a full ‘4D’ BIM strategy for the Ledyard projects. Our team used BIM technology to model and facilitate the building design for
Wethersfield High School, the Newington Schools Bioengineering and Aerospace
STEM lab projects.
LEED Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design & High Performance
Buildings: Our design team is commi ed to a sustainable, high performance approach, and our project are reviewed for LEED Silver equivalency. We are familiar
with and have implemented the requirements of the LEED Silver ra ng or equivalent standard as well as the requirements for High Performance Buildings. QA Architects has in-house LEED Accredited professionals that assess all projects for LEED
and High Performance Buildings Criteria. The QA Architects team has designed several LEED Silver equivalent renova on projects, including the Soundbridge School.
The Wethersfield High School project is tracking LEED Gold.

described below outlines how
we will program, design and
administer the construcƟon
at each school.
2. Assessment of the Ledyard Middle School and Gallup School
based on the exis ng educa onal programs. The Design Team
will evaluate each educa onal and support space of the exis ng
building based on current u liza on and iden fy all assets and
deficiencies.
Management Approach A Proactive Team
3. Educa onal Program:
a. The Design Team will review the exis ng program and
meet with the educa onal planning team of the school to
confirm exis ng condi ons and understand the educators’ perspec ve on the assets and challenges of the
exis ng facility in the delivery of educa on.
b. Review the demographic data provided by the Board
of Educa on and evaluate the impact on the Ledyard
Middle School and Gallup School Project.
c. Confirm an Educa onal Specifica on with the Board of
Educa on. This will be a component for all planning and
design solu ons and recommenda ons.
The management team consis ng of the project manager and a
senior representa ve from each consultant firm will meet twice
a month through all phases of the project. The specific agenda
of this group is to plan, schedule, coordinate and evaluate every
detail of the project to ensure that the client’s expecta ons
are met and poten al problems are resolved and/or addressed
pro ac vely to minimize the impact on the project goals. The
Architectural/Engineering Design Services for the Ledyard Middle
School and Gallup School renova ons project will be led by Rusty
Malik. The project manager will be supported by the project designer and project architect who will a end all key presenta ons
and mee ngs. This core team will be dedicated to the project
through out the preliminary design and documenta on process,
with the project architect providing the construc on administraon services. QA works closely with its consultants throughout
the project requiring all senior staff to a end team mee ng. We
consider a proac ve approach as key to managing the progress of
all team members. Successful projects are a direct result of the
quality of the team. We are convinced that the QA Team will provide the energy, exper se, and dedica on to deliver a successfully
project to the town of Ledyard.
Building and Site Evaluation
Confirming and Evaluating the Conditions
The project manager and project team will visit the school to confirm and become familiar with the exis ng condi ons, review the
report of the Space Need Commi ee, conduct a detailed analysis
of the enrollment projec ons and op ons outlined in the report.
This process of discovery will be performed in prepara on of the
Kick-off mee ng with the Building Commi ee and Educa onal
Representa ves. A dra schedule based on Local and State Board
of Educa on requirements and deadlines has been developed
and coordinated with all members of the Project Team and will be
formally presented at this mee ng, to clearly iden fy all tasks and
con ngent ac vi es, including a Community Informa on Plan.
The Design Team members will meet with Key administrators and
members of the Building Commi ee to fully understand the nuances of their recommenda ons.
Facility Investigation
The project goals and scope based on our understanding of the
Architectural/Engineering Design Services for Ledyard Middle
School and Gallup School renova ons project and our experience
on similar projects, will include, but is not limited to the following:
1. Assessment of the building and site and the next stage of
development of the priority list established for the school:
a. Review all exis ng documenta on.
b. Life Safety Codes – Building, Fire (NFPA) etc.
c. Accessibility – ADA, 504 and ANSI
d. Envelope - windows, roofs, walls etc.
e. Interior finishes and Structure.
f. Infrastructure - Mechanical,
Electrical Plumbing and Fire Protec on.
g. Technology and Telecommunica on systems
h. Security process and Systems
i. Site – drainage, vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow, u lies, exis ng improvements
j. Evaluate HAZMAT test results provided to the Design
QuisenberryArcari
Programming - Understanding the Needs
The Programming and Planning phase is a cri cal element in the
design process. It is here that decisions are made that will have
the greatest impact on land use, func onality, adaptability, and
economy. The QA Team will work with the Building Commi ee
and the Educa onal Representa ves, review the space program
and tes ng it against the concept design op ons. This process will
also give us addi onal insight to the viability of the op ons studied. Programming for the educa onal specifica ons is an intense
phase that requires extensive interac on between the architect,
educators, owner’s representa ve planning groups, and consultants. By sharing planning, demographic, and educa onal trends
we will explore the types of programs that will best suit exis ng
Ledyard Middle School and Gallup School, and incorporate the
latest trends educa on.

Design Options Translating Ideas Into Design Concepts
Schematic Design—Refining Design Concepts
Upon approval from the Building Commi ee to proceed with the
project, the QA Team will proceed with the Schema c Design
phase. This process is the further developing the selected design
concepts, which will involve extensive addi onal interac on
between the design team and the educators.
Upon confirma on of the educa onal specifica ons and space
program requirements we will proceed with a detailed evaluaon of the design op ons developed by the study commi ee,
including developing a series of alterna ve design concepts for
the commi ee review. This will once again be a team approach
with the commi ee and educators weighing in on each solu on.
Using a wide array of visual communica on methods, we will
provide an understanding of how these ideas and requirements
can be translated into a physical structure. This process will also
include:
Step 1—Informa on Collec on
Detailed Site analyses are performed addressing, site circula on,
exis ng buildings, landscape and site design, parking capacity,
and site u li es. We meet with all agencies having jurisdic on
over the project and all local u li es companies to ensure coordina on and compliance with all requirements.
Step 2—Design Kick-off
A mee ng is held with all current planning groups and educators
as determined by the commi ee and consultants, to kick-off the
schema c design process. This mee ng is a brainstorming session
intended to develop concepts addressing the spa al, func onal,
and opera onal requirements of all the par cipants.
Step 3—Op on Refinement
Based on the outcome of the mee ngs and addi onal input of
the par cipants, the selected design op on is refined, reevaluated and the project scope is confirmed.
Step 4—Schema c Design Documenta on
Upon confirma on of a preferred op on, final documenta on is
prepared. This documenta on is suitable for public mee ngs, local
reviews, and cost es ma ng.
Step 5—Code Review
An updated building code review is prepared.
Step 6—Building Systems
In consulta on with the owner, we prepare alterna ve studies
for major building systems such as structural frame, exterior
envelope, and HVAC distribu on. These studies are suitable for
obtaining preliminary construc on cost pricing, and life cycle and
opera on costs to determine the appropriate systems for the

Step 7—Cost Es mates
The cost es ma ng process states at the field inves ga on stage
and is constantly updated through the design and construc on
documenta on process. The design team will update the schema c design es mate to reflect phasing, and will evaluate the
impact of the state grant on the final schema c budget, including
projected state reimbursement.
Step 1— Addi onal Informa on Collec on
Site analyses are performed addressing zoning, site restric ons, easements, site circula on, exis ng buildings,
landscape and site design, parking capacity, and site u lies. We meet with all agencies having jurisdic on over the
project and all local u li es companies to ensure coordinaon and compliance with all requirements.
Step 2—Code Review
A preliminary building code review will be prepared for
each op on to be er understand each op ons assets and
liabili es.
Step 3—Building Systems
In consulta on with the owner, we will prepare studies for
major building systems such as structural frame, exterior
envelope, and HVAC distribu on. These studies are suitable
for obtaining preliminary construc on cost pricing, and life
cycle and opera on costs to determine the appropriate
systems for the building.
Step 4— Construc on Es mate
A construc on es mate will be by an independent es mator with input and review from the design team will be
prepared for each op on.
Concept Design—Selecting the Right Solution
The results of the design op on evalua on phase may result
in one or more poten al solu ons. Based on a ranking system
one or more of the solu ons selected by the commi ee, may be
presented to the community in public informa onal mee ngs
for feedback. This process provides community interac on and
buy-in, and valuable insight that can be incorporated in the final
solu on.
Design Development Phase B
Creating a Workable Building
Based on the wri en approval of the Schema c Design phase,
staff begins the Design Development phase, expanding the concept into a workable building solu on.
State Approval —Understanding the Process
Step 1—Design Development Documentation
Based on the approved Schema c Design documents and any
adjustments authorized by the district in program or budget, we
prepare Design Development documents consis ng of drawings
and other documents to fix and describe the size, loca on, and
character of each element of the en re project pertaining to architectural, civil, landscape, structural, mechanical and electrical
systems, and materials.
Senior members of the QA design team have dedicated a majority
of their professional career working on K-12 educa onal projects
in Connec cut. Our understa ng and knowledge of the State
Grant process and the requirements of the Office of School Facilies, is extensive. Mr. Malik the project manager and principal
will review the exis ng informa on and recommend changes if
necessary.

QA Architects is keenly aware of the cri cal nature of construc on
schedules and the poten al impact on learning that results when
deadlines are altered. The construc on administra on phase is
given our full a en on to ensure that the projects are completed
expedi ously and in the manner intended. The project manager

assigned project architect will fulfill this role has over ten years of
experience in the field.
We provide proac ve administra on of the construc on contract
including:
Construction Documentation
Upon approval of the design development document, and based
on the selected alterna ve system studies, the design team
prepares complete construc on documents. The construc on
documents consist of contract drawings, specifica ons, general
condi ons, instruc ons to bidders, and other necessary documents. The project manager and project architect are directly
responsible for the products, systems and coordina on of the
overall specifica ons. Each project specifica on is developed
and reviewed by QA specifica ons specialist who monitor any
changes. The team also assists the owner in filing the required
documents for approval of municipal authori es having jurisdicon over the project. The Design Team has completed several
projects of similar size and scope and are prepared to produce
high quality documents for the Ledyard Middle and Gallup Hill
Elementary School projects. This process is supplemented with a
rigorous quality control procedure.
• Advising and consul ng with the school district, program
manager and construc on manager.

Quality Control - Preparing the Design

On-site observa on is provided throughout this phase as merited
by the progress of the construc on. While on-site we prepare
Field Observa on Reports for distribu on to the contractor/construc on manager and owner that enumerate our findings rela ve
to the conformance of the work with the requirements of the
contract documents. Devia ons are noted and necessary solu ons
solicited from the contractor.
During the punch list and project close-out, we make test all
equipment and items specified in the contract documents. This
ranges from major systems like mechanical equipment to the
smaller elements like correctly func oning door hardware.
Close a en on to quality and detail characterizes QA Architects philosophy on the Documenta on and Bidding phases of a
project. Several current projects are nearing comple on without
a single change-order required that was necessitated by construcon document inadequacies, a testament to the high quality of
our construc on documents and knowledgeable evalua on of bid
packages. QA Architects u lizes a quality control program that
provides both technical assistance during project design and a
strictly enforced system of periodic review. In addi on to stressing
the importance of quality documenta on as an ongoing design
