Directions: This is an individual term paper assignment. Students are to work on their own to complete the assignment. This project must be a direct reflection of your ability to conduct research, document and evaluate your findings, apply principles learned and discussed in class, and elaborate meaningful managerial conclusions. The length of the "body" of the paper should be 3-4 pages in length. That is: these 3-4 pages exclude a cover sheet (1 page maximum), a table of contents (1 page maximum), and a list of references (1 page maximum). Each page should be numbered to correspond to the table of contents. Please include a graphic such a Gantt (Bar) Chart for a schedule and/or a table for the budget or fee schedule as discussed last class. These documents are included in the 3-4 page length. Scope of Work: Attached you have a project definition provided by a Project Owner. You have assisted the owner in developing a brief scope based on the project objective. From this limited scope you are to create a design proposal for one design discipline (i.e. architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or fire protection). Considering the following questions we discussed in class: 1) Why are we doing this project? - Project objective provided by owner 2) What is needed to accomplish the end objective of the project? (plans, specifications, industry standards) 3) What is the cost to complete the project? 4) How much time is required to complete the project design? 5) Who will do the work? (ie, with personnel in-house, or will it be subcontracted out to another firm) Your proposal must include the scope of design services offered, the schedule for delivering these design services, and the budget for completing the design services rendered You may also include basic information about you company including history, qualifications, expertise, and past projects. This information should be a maximum of one page. NOTE: Your work shall be original, grammatically correct, and well organized. You are free to research any necessary information available to you. Please remember that all and any "work published by others must be properly cited and referenced. Please use APA style to properly cite and reference your sources of information. Scenarios (Choose ONE): 1. East Neuse Regional Pump Station and Force Main (ENRPS) - Sanitary Sewer Pipelines. This portion of the project involves the construction of approximately 2,200 linear feet (1f) of 42-inch FRP sanitary sewer gravity pipe, approximately 80 If of 96-inch FRP sanitary sewer gravity pipe, approximately 1,000 If of parallel (2,000 If total length) of 72-inch FRP sanitary sewer gravity pipe, approximately 800 If of parallel (1,650 If total length) of 48-inch FRP or PVC sanitary sewer force main pipe and approximately 1,520 lf of parallel (3,040 If total length) of 90-inch FRP sanitary sewer gravity pipe with a connection to the Neuse River Resource Recovery Facility. This includes all associated trench shoring and trench dewatering. This work requires a large set of polymer concrete junction boxes to join the proposed 42-inch sanitary sewer with the 96-inch gravity sewer with the outlet being the beginning of the parallel 72-inch sewers. Also required is an open cut crossing of the Neuse River for the parallel 72-inch sanitary sewer gravity pipes, restricted to a 6-month window between October 1 & March 1, and backfilled with flowable fill. The crown of the 72-inch pipes is expected to be approximately six feet below the river channel at the deepest point. River flows must be maintained during construction via temporary diversions, pump arounds, or other methods. A second set of large polymer concrete junction boxes will also be required to be set to join the 48-inch force mains to the existing parallel 72-inch sanitary sewer gravity pipe and the new parallel 90- inch gravity sewer sanitary pipe. A portion of the pipeline work will be within the 100-year flood plain, floodway, and Neuse River buffer. Excavation depths will exceed 40 feet in some locations with rock excavation anticipated. A portion of the pipeline alignment is along undeveloped properties on the north side of the Neuse River and along temporary and permanent easements to be acquired by the City. The remaining portion of the project will be on the site of the Neuse River Resource Recovery Facility. The total estimated cost of construction for this portion of the project is $18.6 million. 2. LEED and Energy Single-Family Residential Home: A 3,250 square-foot residential finished home, with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. This home should be designed to be eligible for LEED Silver and Energy- star rated. Exterior finish in accordance with environmentally preferable products, energy independence systems, including rooftop solar energy, with renewable energy battery support building room attached to back of the garage, and a geothermal heat pump. A 2-car, detached, finished garage, insulated and sheet rocked with an attic storage area and with built-in connection for electrical vehicle recharging. Equipment and appliances should be Energy Star, or higher, rated all-electric stainless steel kitchen appliances, to include induction cooktop, dual ovens, built-in microwave and dishwasher, integrated, intelligent control systems for lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), high speed internet, and entertainment. 3. Middle School Building Project: The new middle school building includes classrooms, offices and administrative spaces, dining commons with kitchen, and media center. Additional spaces that may be part of the final design include auditorium, gymnasium and athletic fields. Building construction may consist of a multi-story masonry and steel load bearing building with elevated slabs, poured in-place concrete retaining walls and associated underground waterproofing. Exterior finish materials may include brick veneer, aluminum storefront and curtain wall, and aluminum composite wall panels. Interior finish materials may include masonry and drywall partitions, brick veneer, cementitious terrazzo flooring, VCT and carpet tile, and lay-in acoustical tile ceiling. Roofing systems include TPO single ply roof system or standing seam metal roofing system. Building systems include forced air mechanical systems, plumbing, fire protection, electrical, communications, security and data systems. Site construction consists of work on approximately 20 acres, including erosion and sediment control measures, clearing and grubbing, storm water piping and retention ponds, building pad preparation, utilities including a forced main sanitary system, temporary and permanent parking areas and driveways, bus loop, concrete walks, areas of concrete, fencing and other miscellaneous site work
