The primary objective of this phase of the project was to have a comprehensive, professional, written plan for the work and cost required to replace the roof on the Gardner House. That goal has been achieved by the creation of the following three documents by the GAI's contracted architect:
1) The Scope of Work form and architectural design and specification drawings that will be required in order to begin the process of installing a new roof. These documents will be necessary for the St. Paul HPC and SHPO review and approval process.
2) A project budget that will allow the GAI Board of Directors to evaluate its financial readiness and fundraising goals to be met before launching the construction phase.
3) A project manual to be used when the GAI is ready to solicit proposals from roofing contractors that includes preliminary bid documents.
All of the above documents have been submitted in the subsequent MNHS Historic Properties large grant application.
I believe this goal was achieved by clearly specifying in our RFP the products the architectural firm was expected to create. For example, we stated that the architect was to complete the Scope of Work form for the grant application, an attached it as part of the RFP.
