The licensed professionals hired by the contractor shall prepare the conceptual and the final complete design. It shall be the same professionals the ones preparing the conceptual design and the final design package to be submitted to the Municipality for approval and to provide the Construction Permit. The US Government includes in picture#5 a conceptual design that can be used by the contractor as a general rule to outline the minimum requirements included in this contract.

- The building shall be designed with concrete foundations, concrete superstructure, thermally insulated masonry walls and thermally insulated roofing with Romanian traditional flat ceramic roof tiles.

- Follow the seismic criteria applicable for this region of Romania.

- The facility shall have one single floor or level. The floor level shall be minimum 30 cm higher that surrounding grade elevation.

- All areas of the facility shall be accessible for people on wheelchair from the main street, except the mechanical room.

- Urban Planning requirements of the Municipality take precedence over the specific technical requirements of this document.

- The building shall include the following internal distribution:

No. Name of room or area Total usable area [m²]

1 Classroom 1 42 2 Classroom 2 42 3 Classroom 3 42 4 Kitchen 22 5 Kitchen storage 1 2 6 Kitchen storage 2 2 7 Janitor storage 2.25 8 Hallway 50.5 9 Gymnasium 46.5 10 Office 14.5 11 Boys Bathroom 24 12 Girls Bathroom 24 13 Staff Bathroom 4 14 Mechanical Room 10.5 15 Exterior Covered Patio 38

Page 10 of 125 Version 002

The definition of usable area or usable space is the area that is measured from wall surface to wall surface in each room, therefore not including the area occupied by the walls. The total built area is the total usable area plus the area occupied by the walls.

The architect hired by the contractor can make minor adjustments or variations to the required areas for each room not to exceed 20% of the minimum areas detailed above for each room.

However, the total usable area, including the covered patio, shall not be less than 366 m².

It is the intent of the project to keep the total usable area of the building at 366 m². If a particular room in the table in page 8 is not big enough for the intended use, the contractor’s architect shall design it with the necessary bigger surface as needed for the intended use, but deducting the additional required surface from other rooms in the building not requiring the area detailed in this table. For example, if the mechanical room, in order to fit the boiler and other equipment needs to be 12 m² instead of 10.5 m², the architect shall design it with 12 m², but the architect shall also design other rooms with a total of 1.5 m² smaller.

ALL AREAS OF THE KINDERGARTEN, SHALL BE ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE ON

WHEELCHAIRS FROM THE MAIN STREET.

The exact location and external dimensions of the new construction shall be determined during the design phase of the contract.

Picture#03 and picture#04 shows the approximate location of the new kindergarten within the school plot of land and the adjacent one. Picture#6 shows more detailed location of the new building. The contractor shall coordinate the exact location of the kindergarten within 2 meters of the indicated location with the Municipality considering the minimum requirements outlined in this document for the kindergarten, the accesses to the kindergarten from the main street, and the Urban Planning requirements applicable for this area of Deveselu.

The Urban Planning requirements of this plots of land in Deveselu take precedence over the provided conceptual design and proposed location. The contractor shall design the new facility in strict compliance with Urban Planning and adjust the layout of the building in order to comply with the minimum requirements of the table shown in page 8.
