Stevens & Wilkinson - State Judicial Complex - Proposal

July 23, 2014
Jeff Lacks
Director, Procurement Services
GSFIC
270 Washington Street
Atlanta, GA 30334
Dear Jeff,
We are pleased to present Stevens & Wilkinsons Design Team Proposal for the New Judicial Complex
for the State of Georgia. The team we have assembled will partner with GSFIC, GBA, SPC and the Courts
to create a highly successful, iconic, lasting legacy for the State; a building that relates back to the
architectural legacy of Atlanta, balances the needs of the Courts, employees, and public, while providing
long-term functional value to the Courts and the State of Georgia.
Stevens & Wilkinsons staff of over 110 professionals, combined with the significant resources of Robert
A.M. Stern Architects, has the depth and expertise to perform the work within the proposed schedule and
budget. Our work plan includes Bill Clark and Todd Dolson leading and managing the project team
comprised of the most qualified firms and staff within each firm. Robert Stern will personally oversee the
design of the project and has assembled the best staff resources, including Grant Marani as Design
Principal, to this project. We will have our A-Team involved in the project from program verification
through construction providing a strong resource of experience with the ability to anticipate and solve
problems. Our approach includes dedicated project architects taking on individual building assignments
as a team; including building envelope, plans, vertical circulation, engineering and consultant coordination.
During construction each of these project architects will take their assignments into the CA phase of the
project providing a cohesive transition from design to construction.
Our team includes Justice Planning Associates, with whom we partnered in the development of the
Judicial Complex Assessment. As the original programmers for the project, JPA has already established
good working relationships with the Courts and representative agencies, and can validate the program in
the most efficient and timely manner. As our nations leading operational court consulting firm, JPA staff
bring a distinctly operational focus to the project, with special emphasis on functionality, security, and
long-term flexibility.

We understand that Building Information Modeling is a critical component to the success of this project
and we will assign Jae Chong to lead the projects BIM efforts. Jae leads S&Ws BIM training and
development where we have successfully utilized Revit BIM for the last 5 years on almost every project in
the office. We will utilize this technology to show three dimensional views and fly-throughs of the design to
give the user groups a very good understanding of the design prior to construction. We will also utilize this
technology hand in hand with the CM/construction professional to expedite and improve project
scheduling, constructability and estimating.
We understand how important the projects site is to the success of the project. This civic project on the
proposed urban site requires the ability to convey prominence and importance using view corridors,
pedestrian and vehicular connectivity to Capitol Hill as well as to the redevelopment of the Turner Field
area and adjacent neighborhoods. HGOR, is a landscape architecture firm with significant experience in
working with buildings and sites of this stature.
We understand that security is an important issue that will be addressed early in the project design phases
and will continue through construction. Our recent work with Newcomb & Boyd and Hinman Engineers, at
the Godbold Annex in downtown Atlanta incorporated Federal Standards for intake and perimeter security
and if blast mitigation is considered, is also an excellent example of blast protection and progressive
collapse prevention.
We are aware of the complex challenges normally associated with Atlantas urban sites and working with
the city through the land disturbance and development process. Maximizing the use of existing
infrastructure, working with city storm water and understanding the challenges of the adjacent interstate
bridge abutment are important site design issues. Kimley-Horn has a full complement of civil and
transportation engineering experience in the city as well as has extensive experience investigating and
solving complex planning and site civil engineering issues. They will ensure a fully-integrated design in a
complex urban setting, fulfill long tern sustainability goals of all the project stakeholder and maximize
return on site and infrastructure investment for the State of Georgia.
We know the importance of establishing an accurate cost estimate at the project inception and monitoring
the estimates throughout the design process with the selected CM/construction professional.
Faithful+Gould, our costing consultant, has performed costing specifically for similar judicial projects in
numerous locations around the country and has a proven track record with Stevens & Wilkinson on
numerous projects.
This project will be the single most important project in our office over the next four years. We commit to
deliver a project that will be efficient, maintainable, on budget, on schedule and beautiful. With Robert A.
M. Stern Architects, our nations preeminent Classical design architectural firm, we will deliver a building
that will be a lasting legacy for Georgias generations to come.
Sincerely,
William H. Clark

Bill Clark will provide project team leadership for the Judicial Complex
project. Bill will be the principal point of contact between the project
team, GSFIC, GBA and the using agency. Bill is an excellent listener
and leader and has the authority to make project and firm decisions as
leader of the Atlanta office of Stevens and Wilkinson.
Bill is dedicated to a personal goal and mission of exceeding customer
expectations and satisfaction. In fact there are a few critical numbers
that factor into a projects success the stated cost limitation, the project
due date, the program area objectives and Bills cell phone number,
(404) 895-0441.
Bill has the unique understanding of performing work at Capitol Hill and
the importance of recognizing and listening to the different stakeholders
that will participate in this project including the GSFIC, GBA, SPC and the Courts. There is probably no other
design professional today that has this unique understanding and we will be able to benefit from the last
ten years of lessons learned and successes on significant projects at Capitol Hill. Some examples of lessons
learned include incorporating GBA standards, paying strong attention in the design phases to long term
maintenance, engaging early in the design process the many telecommunications entities that are involved
for project connectivity and being flexible and nimble on his feet as project needs evolve. Simply stated,
there will be no learning curve to lead this project and Bills recent participation in the Programming and
Assessment work and the Archives Demolition will be invaluable.
Bill will work hand in hand with Todd Dolson, our Project Manager, to utilize the significant resources of S&W,
and Robert A.M. Stern Architects, including our established management procedures, documentation and
cutting edge technology. Our goal will be to issue same-day meeting minutes from team meetings, institute
a monthly high level project status report noting project activity and status and train lay team members on
e-Builder at the beginning of the project.
Bill will be totally dedicated to this project from design through construction and will attend, with Todd
Dolson, project team meetings in all phases of the work. Bill recognizes that this is a once in a generation
project and is ready to dedicate himself to the successful design and completion of this iconic Judicial
Complex for the State of Georgia.
Energy Efficient Design and Principals
Our team has completed numerous sustainable and energy efficient
projects over the last twenty years. Many of these projects have
been certified by third party rating systems such as USGBC LEED.
In addition to numerous other LEED certified projects, Stevens &
WIlkinson is very proud to have recently completed the 90 million
dollar, LEED Platinum Darla Moore School of Business in Columbia,
South Carolina.
Our emphasis on the Judicial project will follow the requirements
of the Georgia Peach Green Building Rating System. John Weiler,
our 2 Capitol Square project architect, is currently documenting this
project for commissioning, water use reduction and Georgia-based
materials. John will be responsible for setting goals with GSFIC and
GBA at the Judicial Complex inception for energy efficiency and other
rating requirements, and will monitor and document throughout the
project.
BIM
Stevens & Wilkinson and Robert A.M. Stern Architects both utilize
REVIT as our BIM software and will model the Judicial Complex at the
inception of design. S&W is very familiar with GSFIC BIM Standards
and will adhere to these standards during the project. We understand
the importance of utilizing 3D model during the design phases and
will work closely with GSFIC to plan 3D presentations to the courts at
appropriate time intervals to allow stakeholders to view interior and
exterior spaces prior to construction.
We also hope to develop a close dialogue with the selected CM such
that our model is useful for pre-construction activities. The intent is
also for the model to be of great future use to GSFIC and GBA for
facility management. Jae Chong, our senior project architect will lead
the REVIT model development and clash detection for the project.
SELECTED PROJECTS
Following are examples of projects that Stevens & Wilkinson and Robert A.M. Stern have designed that
reflect similar requirements to the State of Georgia Judicial Complex. Each of these projects are uniquely
designed to reflect the culture and values of the particular court or client represented.
For these projects the designers have provided elegant solutions that speak to the goals, needs and
desires of the particular project. Each creates a legacy project reflecting the time, use and place and
uniquely address the judicial branch. Part of working with Judicial Facilities is to simply and gracefully
address security issues and the implementation of the latest technology into the building and its ancillary
spaces.
Each Judicial project presents unique challenges in regards to design, site capacity and accessibility,
security and technology. Stevens & Wilkinsons team experience in designing the following projects have
contributed to our significant knowledge of Judicial Complexes.

Stevens & Wilkinson provided design services for an addition and renovation to this certified historic
building in downtown Atlanta. The project is comprised of the administrative office space for the 11th Circuit
Court of Appeals, which includes the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of two existing historic buildings
adjacent to the Tuttle Courthouse.
Our services included design for new construction of ancillary space including a security screening area,
loading dock, solid waste disposal/storage, underground secure parking and a pedestrian tunnel between
the existing Tuttle Courthouse and the annex. The project is designed utilizing Building Information
Modeling (BIM) software. This project is part of the GSA Design Excellence program and achieved LEED
Gold certification. The project is a design/build Bridging project delivery method. Our services included
pre-design, design, design review and construction phase services.
We successfully addressed the complexities of transforming a historic structure into a 21st century office
space. Exisiting heavy timber structure was incorporated into the interior design. Facade easements were
needed and obtained as part of the historic requirements of this building and district. We also incorporated
security and blast mitigation required for Federal Buildings in an urban setting.

Nashville is Music City USA; it is also, and has been for much
longer been known as, the Athens of the South, with a strong,
distinct classical tradition that permeates its architecture, from William
Stricklands Tennessee State Capitol to modest houses. RAMSAs
library design, which won a national design competition, recognizes
that tradition, not only in its exterior massing and formal language,
but in the clear, axial organization of its most symbolically significant
public areas the Main Entry Lobby; the Nashville Room, housing
the local history collection; the Gallery; the Grand Reading Room;
the skylit Grand Stair; and the Courtyard all of which are located on
the axis of the Capitol, helping to strengthen the dangerously frayed
fabric of the civic center complex as a whole.
After the competition, RAMSA completed the library on a very
aggressive time line, dictated by the desire to dedicate the project
under the term of the sitting mayor. The entire project, design and
construction, was completed in 36 months a record, we believe, for
a public library of this scope and detail. This aggressive schedule
was made possible by a streamlined decision-making process on the
part of the client; close coordination between the design team and
contractor during the construction phase; and the commitment on
behalf of all parties owner, architect, and contractor to meet the
schedule.

The Spottswood W. Robinson III and Robert R. Merhige, Jr., U.S.

Courthouse in Richmond bridges the citys historic commercial core,
now being reinvented as a performing arts district, to the west and its
governmental Capitol Square district to the east. A 100-foot high northfacing atrium serves as a civic-scale forecourt to the seven-story, 345,990
gsf courthouse and office facility to the south. The strong, curved south
facade fronting Grace and Eighth Streets presents an iconic face to
the Capitol Square district. The courthouse provides office functions
on the lower four floors and courtrooms on the upper three. Public
galleries facing the atrium lead visitors to the public functions and to the
courtrooms. The judges chambers are located along the southern edge
of the building, where they enjoy dramatic views to Capitol Square.
Our firm was faced with various challenges while developing the
design for the new courthouse. Our first challenge included creating
a single identity for a building that must be compatible with a judicial/
government district to the southeast and an entertainment district to
the northwest. A bent or bowed slab footprint allowed us to create a
building with street facades at an appropriate civic scale on both sides
while adhering to the GSAs security setback requirements.
RAMSA also needed to reconcile the security setback and hardened wall
requirements of the courthouse with the urban planning goals of creating
a welcoming building that holds the street wall, as well as create inviting
interior space that orients visitors to the disposition of the courtrooms
and offices. RAMSA achieved this by reinforcing a visual relationship
between the stacked courtrooms and the gallery-like circulation to aid in
wayfinding. RAMSA also designed a stone entry faade that relates to
traditional American courthouse architecture, while the glass curtainwall
brings natural light to the atrium.
Lastly, our project was in design on 9/11/01. Stricter security measures
were required involving significant redesign of the project, yet the
courthouse was still completed three months ahead of schedule.

E1 - Firms Overall Role

Working as a Team
Stevens & Wilkinsons primary objective is to partner with GBA,
GSFIC and the courts to create a successful project. With that goal
in mind, Stevens & Wilkinson will proactively lead the project team
and client through the whole process. In addition to past project
experience, with this team, Stevens & Wilkinson has a strong track
record of working with large, diverse teams, including nationally
recognized design firms such as Smith Group JJR, Arthur May
and Associates, Ayers Saint Gross, the office of Marcel Breuer and
RAMSA.
& Wilkinson will serve as Architect-of-Record, provide
Project Management and act as the primary point of client contact.
Stevens & Wilkinson will participate in the design phases and will
take the lead during the production of Construction Documents
and during the Contract Administration phases.
Stevens
Planning Associates will lead the programming phase and

will provide court consulting throughout the project.
Justice
Robert A.M. Stern Architects will take the lead during the Concept
Design, Schematic Design, and Design Development phases, and

will participate in Construction Documentation, Bid/Negotiate,
and Construction Administration phases as necessary to ensure
continuity of design intent.
All three firms will participate throughout all phases of work to the extent necessary to ensure thorough
understanding of the program, project design intent and to participate in early design decisions which
bear on cost, constructibility and technical performance.
Working with Stakeholders
The Georgia State Judicial Complex can only be successful if the projects many stakeholders feel
vested in the design process and have pride of ownership in the final result. Our approach to working
with the many stakeholders is based on our repeatedly-demonstrated strength leading complex project
teams in an intensively collaborative and inclusive process. Our work method is based on on-site, faceto-face work sessions, supplemented by remote web-based meetings and we will work hard to solicit
the input of all relevant parties.
Through our experience, we have developed processes which balance functional program, technical
requirements, design, construction issues, cost, and schedule from project kick-off to close-out. Three
key principles are primary to the success of our multidisciplinary project approach:

Project Team Integration: We apply a variety of tools to managing and documenting the involvement
of all key team members from project beginning to end.
Clear Communication: Our team is expert at managing information exchange among stakeholders
ensuring that well-informed decisions are made.
E1 - F IRMS O VERA LL R OL E
Documenting Decision-Making: We manage a Decision Responsibility Log and commitment-driven

meeting minutes, both of which are tied to the project schedule.
Achieving Project Team Integration

Our team will manage the project schedule, meeting agendas and design responsibility log to
ensure that these represent the perspectives and project requirements of each of the key project
representatives and of the key consultant team representatives.
Our team brings to the State Judicial Complex project a variety of proven information gathering/
management and consensus building tools that allow us to solicit the input of many Georgia Judicial
Authority stakeholders, but we also expect you to identify a small, suitably-empowered and seniorlevel project work group to finalize all decisions.
Our team brings excellence in management, design, programming, and documentation as well
as a repeatedly-demonstrated ability to coordinate closely with technical consultants and interior
designers, thereby minimizing project changes that would otherwise cause delays and increase
costs.
We are experienced at collaborating closely with constructors during both the pre-construction and
construction phases, to integrate their work processes with the work process of the entire client/
architect/consultant team.
Ensuring Clear Communication

Space programs are based on scaled diagrams of actual, furnished spaces often represented in
three dimensions. Our Judicial Assesment space program clearly communicated design intent and
not simply a numerical floor area.
We use a diverse set of design tools ranging from physical models and drawings to advanced
computer models, ensuring that all key stakeholders understand the space program, technical,
cost, and schedule implications of design decisions.
Commitment-driven meeting minutes and a design responsibility log ensures that responsibility is
documented clearly and that decisions are made and recorded in a timely and transparent fashion.
Guiding and Documenting Decision-Making

At the outset of the State Judicial Complex project, the project teams decision-making process
will be defined and agreed upon by all key team members. This decision-making process will be
managed using the tools described above, and will be mapped on the project schedule.
Central to our management plan are regularly-scheduled bi-weekly team meetings that are attended
by all project participants who have information necessary to informed decision-making. Some of
these meetings will be face-to-face and some will be virtual net-meetings.
Our team will develop multiple design options allowing the integrated project team to benefit from
the lessons learned from each option.
E2 - U NIQ U E C HA LL E NGE S
During the Basic Services phases, mock-ups, both virtual and

physical, will be constructed of key components of the design.
Virtual mock-ups will provide specific analysis of installation
sequences and equipment layouts. Physical mock-ups will
allow the team to study and test installations before they are
built into the building.
We understand that the State Judicial Complex will become a lasting

physical representation of your values, institutional identity, and
commitment to quality, and we will work with you to plan and design
a building that will represent these values for generations to come.
This teams communication methods ensure that you understand
fully the building that we, with you, have programmed and designed.
E2 - Unique Challenges or risk associated with this project

and your plan and/or process for addressing these matters
The new State Judicial Complex must convey with dignity its role
as the principal representation of the judicial branch of the State
of Georgia in Atlanta. We believe this new complex on its highly
visible site has the potential to become an icon for the city and an
attraction that serves as a beacon, while taking its place in the citys
urban fabric with an inviting landscape and public plaza that is a
destination for the citizens of Atlanta and Georgia.
The new State Judicial Complex should provide clear formal,
physical, and visual connections to the campus of government
buildings across the Downtown Connector the Georgia State
Capitol and the Capitol Square Complex as well as to residential
Grant Park neighborhood to the east.

In Richmond, the site area of the Merhige and Robinson

Courthouse presented challenges similar to those posed by the
site area in Atlanta. Robert A.M. Sterns solution was to design
a building to create a visual connection over a landscaped
public plaza that provides a setting for two adjacent historical
churches, while the judges chambers above enjoy dramatic
views to Capitol Square and its principal buildings.
The new State Judicial Complex should engender a strong

relationship to the community and appear open to the public
while at the same time providing the security necessary for the
buildings users. The State Judicial Complexs sloping site presents
an opportunity to have secure entrances on multiple levels.

In their work for the General Services Administration, for

the Byrd United States Courthouse and Federal Building in
Beckley, West Virginia, Robert A.M. Stern Architects avoided
E2 - U NIQ U E C HA LL E NGE S
the fortress-like expression common to many justice buildings,

where the base of the building meets a landscaped forecourt
that has become a popular outdoor space in downtown
Beckley. Byrd Courthouse was redesigned to more stringent
security standards following the tragedy in Oklahoma City
and the Battisti and Jones Federal Building and United States
Courthouse in Youngstown, Ohio, was the first completed post9/11 courthouse; both courthouses adhere to strict security
guidelines with no compromise of architectural integrity.
The new State Judicial Complex should serve as a bridge between
the civic district and Downtown Connector to the west and the
Grant Park residential neighborhood to the east.

Robert A.M. Stern faced a similar challenge was faced in

Richmond, Virginia, where Robinson and Merhige U.S.
Courthouse acts as a linchpin between two districts, bridging
the citys historic commercial core, now being rejuvenated as a
performing arts district. The building presents a formal public
entrance to the north, and an atrium turns a less formal face
to the commercial district; at night, the illuminated atrium
and landscaped areas becomes a dramatic backdrop for the
developing performing arts district.
The new State Judicial Complex should address the unique

functional requirements of the Georgia Supreme Court and Court
of Appeals. The building should be clearly organized to promote
public wayfinding and efficient movement by staff. It should be
zoned to provide distinct public and restricted areas. The building
should be practical to maintain, as proper maintenance also reflects
on image. The building should have functional connectivity to other
elements in the governmental campus. Given the somewhat isolated
nature of the site, there should be appropriate, yet tasteful measures
to ensure security of the perimeter. Finally, the building should
have the longevity to address future judgeship, staffing, and space
requirements through strategic utilization of internal areas.
Lastly, the new building should relate back to the architectural
legacy of Atlanta in a clear way, enhancing the character of the
district of which it will become a part. But to be traditional does
not mean to be dull or old hat. As in the law itself, new ideas and
interpretations build upon traditions imaginatively understood. For
the design of the State Judicial Complex, a dialogue between the
classical, political, and architectural ideals of the founding fathers
and the particularities of history and the circumstances of everyday
life will yield a traditional, yet appropriate design.
E3 - DESIGN SC H E DU L E
Properly conceived, the new State Judicial Complex will be a building that deftly balances the needs of
the Courts, employees, and the public, while contributing to the quality of life of the citizens of Atlanta.
Correctly designed, the new State Judicial Complex will be an asset to its neighborhood while providing
long-term functional value to the Courts, the State of Georgia, and the public.
E3 - Design Schedule
The Stevens and Wilkinson Team develops and monitors schedules to:

Complete the design on time
Pinpoint problems early and develop corrective action
Provide status reports
These schedules are tailored to the nature of each project simple to complex. All schedules are
produced in time-scaled precedence format, providing easy to read, easy to utilize management tools.
Schedules are developed with input from the entire project team, drawing on each team members
expertise to optimize schedule strategies and timetable.
Our Project Team has a proven ability to develop design schedules and then manage schedules to
ensure adherence. Adherence procedures include on-going communications and regularly scheduled
meetings and submittals at which work product and required information are reviewed and, if lagging,
corrective measures are developed and implemented to ensure a timely completion.
The directors of the individual disciplines are responsible for completing their activities in accordance
with schedules prepared by the Project Manager. Project progress charts are reviewed on a weekly basis
to confirm that work is on schedule, and bi-weekly team meetings are held to address any project issues
and revise staffing levels to meet schedule commitments.
The Stevens & Wilkinson Project Team has a set of management tools aimed at achieving and exceeding
the project goals. Management Tools include:

Assemble the Project Team with qualified professionals who have project specific type experience.
Management and Design Professionals are employees of Stevens & Wilkinson (architecture
Structural and MEP Engineers) and our proposed consultants have State of Georgia experience
and have teamed with us on design and construction projects relating particular to Judicial Design.
We have developed a set of Control Procedures to ensure document quality conforming to State
of Georgia standards; construction cost estimates within the project budget and schedule controls
that consistently deliver complete documents within the design phase allotted timeframes.
We have procedures in place for keeping all professionals and discipline directors informed of
the status of all projects, schedules and staffing needs via bi-weekly coordination meetings and
resultant project specific meetings to assess staffing requirements to meet promised deadlines and
ensure discipline and consultant coordination.
The best evidence of our schedule performance is the number of repeat client projects for which we
provide architectural services. We consistently meet or exceed clients expectations and adhere to the
design schedule.

E4 - Construction Administration
The Stevens & Wilkinson Project Team will asign a full time construction administrator who is a licensed
architect. He is supported by in-house clerical staff. Our assigned construction administrator for
the Design of the State of Georgia Judicial Complex is John Elvin who has 28 years of experience.
Additionally, Project Managers and/or Project Architects will lead construction administration on project
components that they are responsible for during design phases.
Construction Administration starts in the late Construction Document phase with a thorough in-house
roundtable review of the documents with assigned design principals, architects, engineers, and interior
designers present. These sessions are led by our Construction Administrator. Our fully integrated
Architecture, Engineering and Interior Design work environment facilitates production coordination,
accuracy and completeness of the construction documents. We also solicit document review comments
from the CM and the commissioning agent.
During the construction phase, we expect to be on site for meetings at appropriate intervals for the
entire duration of the project. Our architects, engineers and consultants will attend these meetings as
appropriate to the construction process.
With all major disciplines under one roof, our turn-around time for shop drawing and submittal review is
efficient and timely. We address RFIs and field questions quickly to keep the job moving ahead smoothly.
We like to begin the project close-out activities 2 to 3 months in advance of an anticipated material
completion date. We identify requirements and schedule milestones for close-out documents, O&M
Manual review, as-built drawings and specifications, on-site training of personnel, state inspection
sequences, commissioning activities, punch list activity and project delivery.
During the one-year warranty period, our team will respond to warranty claims and coordinate with
GSFIC, GBA and the State of Georgia to remedy deficiencies in a prompt and efficient manner with a
minimum of disruption to the buildings users and operations. Ten months into the warranty period, we
will conduct a team walk-through of the building and site with GSFIC and GBA to identify and resolve
any existing deficient conditions prior to the expiration of the warranty.

The team of professionals denoted in the organizational chart is also comprised of Stevens & Wilkinsons
in-house architects and structural and MEP Engineers. We have also included the following specialty
consultants :
Civil Engineering and Transportation Design Services:
Founded in 1967 by transportation engineers in Raleigh, NC, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. became
well known for its expertise in transportation planning and traffic engineering. Kimley-Horns recent
transportation planning experience in Downtown Atlanta provides insights from the perspective of many
of the same stakeholders that will be involved in the Judicial Complex.
The Kimley-Horn staff has performed numerous land development assignments in Downtown Atlanta
including Ivan Allen Plaza, Grady Hospital Expansion, McDaniel Glenn Redevelopment, City of Atlanta
Courts, and College Football Hall of Fame just to name a few. This experience has afforded us a unique
understanding of the likely City of Atlanta infrastructure challenges that will help your Design Team avoid
hiccups during design development.
Kimley-Horns staff of professionals works with many clients whose facilities have stringent requirements
-- technologically, economically, and environmentally. As a result, our staff strives to accomplish the
following goals on each of their projects:

Innovative stormwater planning and design of Best Management Practices (BMP) for stormwater
treatment and reduction in stormwater rate and quantity
Reduction in heat-island effects by innovative design
Water reduction through the use of rainwater harvesting and water reuse
Alternative and low emission transportation planning and design
Graywater and innovative wastewater design
Reduction in the use of nonrenewable natural resources
Incorporation of systems and materials that are easily recyclable in the future and/or have recycled
content
Facilitation of the use of recycled materials during construction and operation of the facility
Security
Newcomb & Boyd is a multidiscipline consulting and engineering firm providing innovative solutions for
facility design, construction and maintenance.
Having provided security design and consultation services for more than 30 judicial projects including
Superior and Circuit Courts, and United States District, United States Court of Appeals, and United
States Bankruptcy Courts, we bring in-depth knowledge of the application of advanced electronic
security systems to specific courts and related agencies. We understand how courts and the related
support agencies work, how the security systems can support or hinder the day-to-day operations. We
bring efficiencies to the design process by preparing preliminary layouts of the various security devices
prior to our first meeting with the Owner.
Newcomb and Boyd understands the intricacies of providing the screening, visitor management, and
access control to and from the judges chambers and the necessity to maintain secure offices, corridors,
elevators, and parking facilities for the judges. We understand the importance of integrating the various
security components into the architectural elements such that they blend into and do not distract from
the environment. These can include large systems such as X-ray inspection systems and metal detectors,
or smaller devices such as cameras, intercoms, and card readers.
Security systems that may be required can include:

Internet protocol (IP) based video surveillance systems
Card reader and biometric access control systems
Crash rated operable barrier vehicle access control systems
Intrusion and duress detection systems
Intercom and emergency call station systems
Security Command and Control Rooms
Pedestrian and baggage screening systems (X-ray inspection, walk-through metal detectors, and
explosives trace detection systems)
Large package X-ray inspection systems
Vehicle screening systems (license plate recognition systems, and under vehicle inspection systems)
Current trends include the change from lower resolution analog closed circuit television systems to IP
based systems that can accommodate high resolution (megapixel cameras). With this change comes a
requirement for highly robust and resilient networks to support the high bandwidth required for these
cameras. They also can require large amounts of storage in redundant configurations. The calculations
for the required storage are complex with many variables. We understand the complexities and nuances
required and have developed software to perform this function. Trends also include the use of advanced
video analytics for perimeter intrusion detection.
Newcomb and Boyd designs systems for critical judicial facilities with reliability, resiliency, expandability
(future proofing), and maintainability in mind. To achieve this, we include design components such
as redundant fiber communications paths, redundant servers, and network infrastructure. Attention is
given to back-up generator power, uninterruptable power supplies (UPS), and transient voltage surge
protection.
Newcomb and Boyd also provides consultation on facility hardening including construction elements
that provide penetration (intrusion) resistance, ram resistance, ballistic resistance, and blast resistance.
We can consult on fixed and operable barrier systems that enforce vehicle standoff, the use of ballistic
glazing, the adjacent of critical infrastructure to screening areas (where a blast potential exists) and other
components that provide a secure and hardened facility.
Communications
Newcomb and Boyds special technologies group has completed over 700 projects for technology
design and contract support services for the Administrative Office of the United States Courts since
1999. They have presented at the National Center for State Courts Court Technology Conference
on courtroom technology and have assisted in the development of design standards and criteria for
courtroom systems, video broadcast from the courtrooms and remote interpretation systems and
procedures for the United States Courts.
Judicial technology plays a vital role in the operations and efficiency of the contemporary court. Court
technology systems range from audio reinforcement, electronic court reporting, evidence display with
indexing and retrieval, audio and videoconferencing for remote witnesses, defendants, and judges,
electronic case management, docket signage and way finding.
Newcomb and Boyd was selected to join this team for their proven reputation for designing court
technology systems that are transparent and seamless to the judicial environment and that facilitate the
workings of the court.
Lighting
Newcomb and Boyds lighting design approach for a courthouse must always blend function, aesthetics
and security. For any space, the lighting design should complement and highlight the architecture and
provide adequate light for the function of the space, but in a courthouse complex, security requirements
for interior and exterior spaces must always be considered in the placement and direction of light to
provide a safe environment for its occupants.
Lighting in a courtroom should include layers of light that provides flexibility and intuitive lighting
controls that work with technologies such as videoconferencing, evidence display and video monitors as
required within the space. Our Lighting Design Group understands that collaboration and coordination
with these systems is critical in enhancing the function of those systems.
Special consideration must also be place when selecting efficient sources that are easily maintained.
With lighting technology evolving very quickly, we focus a lot of attention on the longevity of new
technology and the energy savings benefits to Owners. We understand that the benefits associated with
using cutting edge lighting technology must also enhance the function and security of a space without
compromising the aesthetics.
Acoustics
Newcomb and Boyd also knows that room acoustics are an important consideration for contemporary
courts. Room acoustics refers to the shaping and finishes of a space as they affect sound. Many of the
spaces in a courthouse have critical acoustical requirements that demand proper attention. Courtrooms
and hearing rooms must be designed for good speech intelligibility with both natural acoustics and
audio reinforcement.
Speech privacy is required for jury suites, conference rooms, and judges chambers. Speech privacy is
related to the isolation provided by the walls and floors as well as the amount of mechanical background
noise in the space. Background noise from mechanical systems must be properly designed and balanced
as it relates to occupant comfort, speech intelligibly and speech privacy.
Newcomb & Boyds acoustical specialists are familiar with the acoustical requirements of federal and
state court systems. We understand the complexities of incorporating the acoustical items into the
architectural, mechanical, and interiors design to maintain the goals of each discipline while maximize
acoustical performance. We offer the advantage of working with our security, technology, and
communications teams so that the acoustical design enhances the performance of their systems along
with the natural acoustics of the spaces.
Blast and Progressive Collapse Protection
Hinman Consulting Engineers, Inc., provides expert advice and solutions to protect people and property
against extreme events. Founded in 1997, Hinman is an engineering consultancy with a dedicated staff
of licensed practicing engineers and technical experts that offer a full spectrum of services from physical
security to risk management to engineering design. Hinman is a leader in the field of protective design;
our firm has earned a reputation for providing clients with individualized attention and service to develop
customized solutions that balance their risk and cost goals.
Hinmans technical approach to each project includes internal quality assurance and control with our
subject matter experts. Analysis and design criteria are discussed and established at all project kickoff
meetings to ensure the project meets Hinmans standards of technical excellence. Throughout the
projects course technical reviews are made at all major milestones.
Hinman provides integrated, elegant, practical solutions that meet the project requirements. Our
approach is one of collaboration we are responsive and work closely with the entire design team to
ensure that our scope and criteria are incorporated into the design while maintaining the function and
aesthetic of the building.
Hinman understands that the nature of the threat is always changing, evolving and usually increasing
in magnitude. We evaluate threats across multiple scenarios, intentional and accidental, identify
potential vulnerabilities, and offer comprehensive advice and solutions to minimize risk and expected
consequence. Throughout the design process, we aim to provide the maximum possible protection
to both personnel and property from the damaging effects of an explosive event, while maintaining
functionality and minimizing cost.
Threat Assessment
Protecting county, state, and federal courthouses against the threat of terrorist attack has become a
common requirement over the past decade. After the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building in
Oklahoma City in 1995, all federal courthouses have this type of protection. The State of California also
requires it for all county courthouses.
Cost of protection is always a major concern, and we are adept at working with the architect early in the
design regarding the location of the courthouse and auxiliary buildings on the site as well the design
of the exterior envelope and adjacencies internally. Through intelligent decisions early on we find that
costly, unattractive hardening can be avoided.
Later in design we also work with the structural engineer. Our approach is to have an early discussion
with the engineer regarding appropriate materials and structural systems. We then ask that the building
is designed without consideration of explosive loads. For each submittal phase we review the design to
check that the design meets the level of protection that has been agreed upon with the client. If not, we
provide design upgrades as needed which are then incorporated into the design.
When buildings are three or more stories high, we recommend progressive collapse analysis to prevent
catastrophic failure of the building. This is the damage type that is responsible for the most fatalities in
past events and is often the most cost effective protection.
As part of our service, we will also consider perimeter protection against a ramming event which has
also been a mode of attack that has been witnessed in both the California State Capitol Building and
the Utah State Capitol building.
A protected building does not need to be ugly. Many of our projects are designed by our nations top
architects. We are highly sensitive to the need to retain the aesthetics of the building as well as minimize
the inconvenience that security may impose on employees and visitors.
Overall, protective design is an excellent investment. It shows that you have met a standard of care in the
design consistent with other significant buildings within our country. It enhances the work environment
and the confidence of the populace by providing a building that is not only dignified, and inspiring it
is has a quality of strength and permanence.
Landscape Architecture
HGOR is a company that is focused on designing great places for people, places which support clear
returns on investment and provide a stewardship ethic for future generations. Since this approach has
distinct social, economic and environment components, it is the yardstick we use to gauge the success
of our work.
Through a unique blend of urban design and landscape architecture HGOR enjoys a proven record of
creating unified and distinctive places for their clients and communities. The firms work has often been
referenced as transformative, bringing elegant and timeless solutions to complex problems.
HGOR brings knowledge of planning and designing within urban environments that require careful
attention to the interface between public accessibility, civic qualities and enhanced security.
The firms knowledge of Capitol Grounds has been gained though the work on Liberty Plaza. This
experience, coupled with an understanding of the potential for Capitol Avenue from work with Georgia
State University envisioning a future for the Turner Field site, provide a valuable base and a unique
perspective. This knowledge and experience will be brought to the Georgia Judicial Complex in a
manner which will enhance the Courts civic presence within an armature of place and clear connectivity
encompassing both the fabric of Capitol Grounds and the larger urban environment.
Cost Estimating
Faithful+Gould is a leading project management consultancy protecting and maximizing clients
interests in the planning and delivery of projects. Operating at the forefront of our industry, they have
been providing quality support services and our constructive expertise to the public and private sectors
for more than 65 years. Faithful + Gould will advise the A/E team of cost implications of design options.
As specific systems and materials are identified, Life Cycle analysis will be used to evaluate the total cost
of proposed elements
We will provide a cost control program to ensure that the owner receives the best value for the stated
budget.
Management of Cost and Budget begins before the designers get started. This is done by producing
a Cost Plan or Cost Model. This entails taking the established budget for the facility and spreading
it into the different Building System elements based on similar type projects. Buy in from the design
team on this breakdown is extremely important to the success of the project moving forward. The
Cost Plan then becomes a design tool to be used by the design team to establish target budgets
for each building system element. This Cost Plan becomes the basis for tracking future design
submittal costing exercises back to the budget, to determine if the design is on target.
As part of the total Cost Management approach the Estimating Project Manager will attend the
project kick-off meeting with the design team. As the design progresses, the cost manager will
attend key team meetings and provide much needed input on the most cost effective solutions.
Meetings at each design phase will also serve to review available information and get clarification
on future design intent, in order to produce the required formal cost estimate submittals.
Every cost estimate submittal will have an executive summary with a brief project description; notes
indicating inclusions and exclusions to the estimate; description of markups; anticipated bid date;
as well as a description of systems, materials and assumptions by Building System element.
A draft copy of the estimate is then printed and reviewed with the design team. Comments and
changes from the design team review will be incorporated into the final copy of the submittal. After
the first estimate is produced for a project it will be reconciled back to the Cost Plan, showing the
differences at each level. Subsequent estimates will be reconciled to the previous one and to the
Cost Plan. A written reconciliation will be included explaining the differences.
As a CM is chosen, F+G will reconcile all estimates against their subcontractors. The goal becomes
presenting what the fair and reasonable cost is for the design shown in the design documents.
If the reconciled cost is above the stated cost limitation, then Value Engineering options must be
developed.
From Concept to CD drawings, F+G will work to identify design decision cost implications and work with
the team to control costs and scope creep.
