SUBJECT RESPONSIBILITY NARRATIVE

Community-Oriented Design Community Orientated Design

FFKR Landscape Site specific strategies to advance community oriented design per DFCM standards include inclusive, accesible outdoor spaces and pedestrian focused amenities to strengthen connections to the greater context. All plans show paths with a Minimum of 5' sidewalks for all door locations. As retail spaces are developed, we will coordinate with the Civil and Architects to ensure public access and refine outdoor seating locations. These will be incorporated to enhance safety, longevity, and comfort.

Transportation Management Alternative Transportation Management Strategy

FFKR Landscape Transportation strategies are largely provided through The Point Framework Plan and address public transit, vehicular, cycling, and pedestrian focused options. The site specific design of this project will maintain public sidewalk access consistent with the framework and accommodate bicycle parking. We are currently showing a 10 bike rack split between the north and south entrances to the building. This would be in addition to any bike locker provided inside by the architects.

Site Design (FFKR Landscape) Stormwater Management Strategy

CAPE Civil Storm Water detention/retention is provided by The Point development downstream of the project. Because storm water is managed downstream, it is impractical to store the first one-inch of rainfall on site. The site density also makes most stormwater quality BMP's impractical. Therefore, the design team is requesting variances for both HPBS design requirements.

Heat Island Reduction Plan

FFKR Landscape We will reduce the urban heat-island effect across the site and roof gardens through a coordinated hardscape and landscape strategy that includes the following measures:

pedestrian-oriented hardscape areas will utilize concrete or light-colored pavers or pavement; any colored concrete will have a 90-day aged SRI of less than 29. Soil cell structures will be incorporated to support large-canopy trees in ground-level plazas and along streetscapes, providing shade over hardscape areas and mitigating summer heat.

Roof areas visible from interior spaces will utilize planted or Paved roof systems to reduce glare and enhance occupant comfort.

Light Pollution Reduction Strategy

Envision The largest impact to light pollution is exterior lighting; however, interior lighting can also contribute to light pollution. Both interior and exterior lighting will utilize LED technology for greatest efficiency. Exterior lighting will utilize dark sky approved, full cutoff fixtures that direct the light downward with internal shielding to limit light trespass onto neighboring properties. Careful selection of brightness levels, color temperature and pole height shall ensure that over-illumination is avoided and that optimal comfort for pedestrian safety and functionality is provided. The interior lighting will utilize full cutoff fixtures near windows that direct the light downward as well as enhanced lighting controls that will reduce the light output during the hours of 11:00 pm and 5:00 am in spaces that are being occupied, and turn off lighting in spaces that are not in use. Emergency lighting shall only be provided when the space is occupied or in the event of a power failure.

Water Use Reduction Landscape Water Approach

FFKR Landscape Site design to focus around native and native adapted plant selection, rainwater harvesting/ low impact development stormwater strategies and efficient irrigation design. we have included an initial draft version of the Water Sense Budget Worksheet for the Site.

Building and Process Water Use Strategy

Colvin The plumbing system is designed to minimize potable water consumption through the specification of EPA WaterSense®-qualified fixtures for all applicable interior uses. Water closets, urinals, lavatory faucets, kitchen faucets, and shower fixtures are selected to meet or exceed WaterSense performance criteria.

Process water consumption for evaporative cooling equipment (pending system selection) is minimized through an integrated design and control strategy. Cooling systems are selected for high efficiency with optimized cycles of concentration to reduce blowdown volumes while maintaining water quality and protecting equipment longevity. Conductivity-based controls and automated makeup water management are incorporated to closely regulate water use. The design emphasizes equipment selection and maintenance practices that reduce drift, leakage, and unnecessary purge.

Other materials to be avoided include: Formaldehyde, Flame retardant chemicals, per-and poly-fluorinated compounds (PFCs or PFAS) Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Antimicrobials, including triclosan and triclocarban.

Construction and demolition waste recycling shall achieve at least 75% landfill diversion rate.

Post-Occupancy Recycling Strategy

FFKR A waste management consultnat will be onboarded for this project to comply with DFCM standards.

Material Durability Strategy

FFKR/Colvin/ Envision

Specifications have been updated to match the required lifespan of the exterior building cladding, aluminum window system, roof membrane, metal roof, mechanical systems, plumbing systems, and electrical accessories. Mechanical system lifespans and replacement costs are included in the 40 year LCCA evaluation as a part of the mechanical system selection. Electrical distribution equipment typically lasts around 30 years. Modern LED lights have a lifespan exceeding 50,000 hours, which translates to more than 20 years under normal usage. Digital lighting control systems are generally expected to operate for 15 to 20 years.

1 Owner Project Requirements (OPR)

1. GENERAL OVERVIEW.

1.1 Introduction.

The purpose of the Owners Project Requirements (OPR) is to provide a clear and concise document of the Owner’s goals, expectations and requirements for the building. It provides the design-build team with the information to develop the Basis of Design (BOD) during schematic design, serving as a road map for the development of the design and construction documents.

Additionally, OPR and BOD provide the owner and commissioning agent with tangible benchmarks to measure success and quality and confirm that the building and systems constructed align with the Owner’s expectations and requirements.

As the project develops, it is expected that many of the elements of the OPR will evolve. Once the initial OPR is developed by the owner, design team, or the Commissioning Agent (CxA), and the CxA has been integrated into the project (if not previously included), it is to be reviewed by the CxA and compared to Project Documents throughout each phase of the Commissioning Process. Changes to the OPR from one phase to the next must be documented by the CxA.

Additionally, the OPR should serve as a foundation for the project’s systems manuals delivered to the Owner as part of the “as-built” documents.

1.2 Scope of OPR.

This document includes requirements for systems that will undergo the formal commissioning process. This document will not be comprehensive of all systems that will be a part of the design and construction process but only those systems that are included in the Commissioning Process. Refer to Section 2 for Commissioning Scope of Work.

1.3 OPR Content and Format.

This document asks a series of questions. Each question will have a response in one of four different ways.

1. A response that the Owner uses to define the requirement.

2. A response that refers to a requirement that is already defined in the owner’s standards.

3. A response that the Owner will defer to the Architectural Team.

4. A response that is unknown at the time, that an individual will be assigned the responsibility to follow up on for a response.

1.4 Responsible Parties.

The table below identifies different areas of the OPR Scope and identifies the approver responsible for confirming the OPR content. The personnel listed below must be alerted by the CxA of any changes to the OPR before the OPR can be approved at any stage of the Cx Process (Design, Construction, O&M, Ongoing).

Building Location and Orientation Heat Island Reduction

We will plan exterior hardscape materials on the site and at the roof gardens to reduce the urban heat-island effect on the site by implementing the following:

Use concrete or light-colored pavers or pavement at all pedestrian oriented hardscape areas. Colored concrete shall not have a 90-day aged SRI equal to or greater than 29.

We will use soil cell structures to allow large canopy trees to thrive on the ground level plazas and along the street scape. They will shade much of the hardscape and mitigate the harsh summer temperatures under their canopies.

Utilize a planted or ballasted roof at roofs that are visible from inside the building to reduce glare and increase occupant comfort.

COMMENTARY

MB – 05.30.25 – We may want to have a discussion around this and any garden type roofs.

DECISION

• To comply with the DFCM High Performance Building Standard, the building will utilize reflective roofing to reduce the urban heat-island effect.

• A reflective roof with an SRI of 78 or greater over 75% of the low slope roof areas (slopes below or equal to 2:12).

• Install roofing with an SRI of 29 or greater at steep-sloped areas (slopes above 2:12)

• Tan colored, planted, or ballasted roofs shall be considered at roofs that are visible from inside the building to reduce glare and increase occupant comfort.

8.3.1 Describe the water efficiency goals of the project.

See HPBS Requirements

13 Owner Project Requirements (OPR)

Landscape Water Use Expectations.

Water conservation and efficiency is a key focus of this site. With most of the state in a drought and population continuing to increase, we see this project as an opportunity to highlight not only common water saving practices but innovative solutions that can serve as a model for future development. Our goals focus around native and native adapted plant selection, rainwater harvesting/ low impact development stormwater strategies, efficient irrigation design and potentially graywater reuse.

Watersense Water Budge, Building, Landscape To be calculated when design is further developed.

Building Water Use Expectations EPA WaterSense qualified fixtures shall be utilized.

Water Closet flush rate shall be 1.28 GPF.

Urinal flush rate shall be 0.125 GPF.

Public Lavatory Faucets flow rate shall be 0.25 GPM, and be metered-type.

8.3.2 Is grey water recovery a consideration for this project?

If the agency is interested in pursuing innovative systems that complement the program:

Gray water and its reuse is an underutilized practice that could be a part of the innovative design of this building and site. We would study and propose opportunities for where grey water could be reused on site for the use of irrigation on site.

8.3.3 Is rainwater harvesting and use a consideration for this project?

If the agency is interested in pursuing innovative systems that complement the program:

Rainwater harvesting can be a passive system that is integrated into the stormwater management system using rain gardens, vegetative roofs, soil cell structures, and permeable paving. We will look to integrate as many of these options into the design as possible. We will also look at the ability to integrate cisterns and water storage to decrease the irrigation water needs during the dry seasons.

8.3.4 What level of low-water use landscaping is desired or would be considered?

In conformance with HPBS:

The design of plants on site will consider their water use along with microclimates of their location in an effort to place plants where they will thrive and will be efficient in their watering needs.

8.3.5 To what level of sophistication will the irrigation controls be, beyond simple typical time clock functions and above ground sprinklers, to reduce water consumption?

The irrigation design will make sure to use match precipitation heads, flow sensors, weather sensors and smart controllers to provide an efficient system. We will create irrigation zones with similar water needs based on plant type and microclimate. The subsurface drip will be used where practical to minimize run-off, overspray, and excessive evaporation.

8.8 Storm Water Management

8.8.1 Stormwater Runoff Considerations

Site development increases both the total runoff volume (cubic feet) and the runoff rate (cubic feet per second). Runoff volume increases because undeveloped soils allow infiltration, whereas impervious surfaces—such as buildings, pavement, and hardscape—prevent absorption. As a result, a greater portion of precipitation becomes surface runoff.

Runoff rates are also increased in developed conditions. Conveyance over pavement, along curbs, and through storm drainage infrastructure occurs more rapidly than over vegetated surfaces, where flow is slowed by surface roughness and infiltration.

In addition to hydrologic impacts, water quality is typically degraded by development. Runoff from undeveloped sites is generally cleaner due to natural filtration provided by vegetation and the relative absence of pollutant sources. In contrast, developed areas—particularly parking and vehicular circulation areas—are potential sources of oil, sediment, trash, and other contaminants.

8.8.2 Downstream Stormwater Management

Stormwater runoff from this site is managed downstream by The Point development. This regional system provides both peak flow attenuation (via stormwater detention) and treatment for stormwater quality. As such, the downstream infrastructure is designed to mitigate both the increased runoff rates and pollutant loads associated with development.

Applicable Standards and Requirements

The DFCM High Performance Building Standard establishes the following stormwater management requirements:

1. Design, construct, and maintain Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) to manage rainfall on-site and prevent off-site discharge of the first 1 inch of rainfall from a 24-hour storm event, assuming the storm is preceded by at least 48 hours…
