I. Needs and Risk Assessment

The needs assessment for this project encompasses needs of the owner, customers and campers,

the community, and the design professional. Beginning with the needs of the customer, the

owners conducted customer surveys to identify what would bring their current customers back to

the campsite which attracting new ones. Suggestions included a motel and restaurant for the lessoutdoorsy folks, a full convenience store to improve on the camp store’s limited selection, a

skate and adventure park, and an indoor swimming pool and water park. Collectively, these

attractions will appeal to a wide range of ages and interests. Customers also expect a certain

degree of value with the price they pay. The biggest customer risk is safety.

Fortunately, what’s good for the customers is also good for the campground owner s for the most

part. The owners want the ability to break even on their investment and eventually turn a decent

profit. This will not happen if the site does not attract new customers and the site can provide

year round income in the form of the motel, restaurant, and indoor water part. Providing year-

round attractions enhances the sustainability of the business. The owners must assume manymore risks than the customers. Safety and security of the property are paramount as well as

potential liability for accidents that occur on the property. Another risk is the inability to make

money on the renovations. Finally, the good reputation the campsite owners have within the

community of Marion Township is at stake. The owners also assume many of the risks held by

the design professional when it comes to their reputation and how they are received, so

compiling qualifications for and choosing a design professional are of utmost importance. To

mitigate these risks modifications to the design plan include the segregation of the owners’

property, re-routing of roads to maximize safety and accessibility, the following of zoning

ordinances, incorporating attractive and site specific design elements as well design elements

that minimize environmental harm.

The design professional also takes on the risk of patron safety particularly because he or she has

a fiduciary responsibility to the owner. They are also responsible for ensuring that the design

complies with the zoning ordinances of Marion Township and the design is not a complete

eyesore. They also assume the risks associated with using union or open shop labor. Finally, the

design professional is responsible for their reliability of their timelines and cost estimations. The

design professional has the simple need of making a profit.

The community is also a stakeholder in this venture. They are potential customers for the

attractions as well as people who most pass by and view the site on a daily basis. Therefore theydon’t want the site to be a monstrous eyesore. They also desire economic stimulus to their

predominantly farm-based economy in the form of jobs and increased commerce. Local workers

will welcome the construction jobs

The goal of the renovation is to provide options for customers outside of the normal camping

experience while maximizing profitability. In order to accomplish we need to optimize use of

the land and existing resources as well as safety. CSI specifications will be strictly adhered to

for all construction. Zoning ordinances such as a 35 foot height limit and impervious area

limits must be adhered to. Roads will need to be re-routed to maximize security and

accessibility. A qualified construction team and design professional that will uphold these

values and constrains must be chosen. A project delivery system and timeline must be developed

to maximize business throughout the construction process by keeping key components of the

campsite operational. Issues such as storm water, traffic, structural soundness, and site

appearance must also be addressed. Finally, funding and investment will be necessary to

complete the project so detailed cost estimation including building specifications is included in

the following report.

II. Project Summary

The old Bellefonte KOA campsite just recently changed ownership. The new owners expect to

pay off the loan by the end of five years. In the mean time, they have conducted customersurveys asking what attractions would bring them back to the site and attract new customers.

Based on the responses the owners have developed plans for major site renovations to attract

more customers and provide year-round entertainment. The site overhaul will also offer

economic stimulus to predominantly farm-based economy by attracting businesses and providing

jobs. The plan calls the purchase of the next-door property, the segregation of the owners’

property, construction of a three story 81,000 square foot rustic motel and accompanying

restaurant, and indoor swimming pool with water park, an outdoor skate and adventure park, and

a convenience store. Considered in the conceptual design and cost estimate where environmental

considerations and LEED, quality and style of architecture, zoning ordinances, traffic flow and

safe and effective placement of roads and parking lots, and storm water control. Furthermore,

basic structural, site, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems were planned using

Masterspec and CSI specifications. Finally, a n integrated delivery system will be utilized.

Some portions will be design, bid, build while others will be design, build to maximize site

usability. A request for proposals is also included. The grand total for the project is $30 million.

We expect to complete it in approximately 5 years following CSI and MasterSpec specifications

to uphold an optimal level of quality and safety.

IV. Cost Estimations:

Cost estimation was completed using the 2011 edition of RSMeans square foot cost estimation

guide. Costs were adjusted for State College and the year 2015 using the standard cost

estimation algorithm.

Adjusted Cost = cost*0.95*(195/175)

To adjust from the national average to State College, .95 is multiplied to the cost because on

average, State College cost was 95% of the national average, according to RS Means. Then, to

account for the time difference, we looked at the trend over the past five years (an increase of

20). Assuming this will hold constant over the next five years, we took the current cost per

square foot and divided it by the cost per square foot in 2015, hence (195/175).

Architecture and Style:

Inspiration for Hotel and Motel design was Big Meadow Lodge, Luray, VA. The architecture

focuses heavily on rich wood interiors with local stone accents such as entryways and fireplaces.

Outdoor decks and porches will also be key aspects of the design. Both structures will have

similar architecture and style elements. A wood frame and wood siding is preferable for eachwith local stone accents, fireplaces, and outdoor decking. The restaurant will also include a

cupola on the roof and various industrial food preparation additives. The following tables

include the factors considered in the cost estimations. Standard CSI construction specifications

will be adhered for each structure including the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing elements.

c. Skate Park:

The skate park will consist of two sections; one made from a material known as Skatelite OCC,

and the other out of concrete. These two materials give skaters very different surfaces and in

turn appeal to different riding styles. The Skatelite park appeals to the street skater with its

variety of rails, boxes, smaller ramps, and stairs, as well as accommodating skaters who want to

get air in the half pipe or speed off the quarterpipes. On the other hand, the concrete section with

no connections between ramps and less maintenance appeals to the staff, as well as skaters who

desire a smooth, continuous run that provides more of a surfing than skating feel.

Skatelite OCC section:

Dimensions: 100 ft. x 150 ft.

Concrete Section:


Skatelite OCC is a weatherproof material made from 50% wood pulp

and 50% recycled old corrugatedcardboard (OCC).

i. Parking:

Each space: 9 ft. x 18 ft. to accommodate large SUV’s and trucks.

Aisle: 24 ft. across

Lots:

Main Parking: 100 spaces

Convenience Store: 10 spaces

Water Park: 40 spaces

Skate Park: 20 spaces

Restaurant: 30 spaces

Motel: 200 spaces

Total: 400 spaces * 270 sq. ft. / space = 108,000 sq. ft.

=> (108,000 sq. ft. * $2 / sq. ft. for asphalt) + (108,000 sq. ft. * $1 / sq. ft. for gravel) = $324,000

j. Roads:

The existing road to the campsites will be extended to the motel and restaurant where there will

be a cul-de-sac to keep traffic moving (900 linear ft. of new road). A second road will be paved

along the site boundary that meets up with the existing road to the owners’ house (500 linear ft.)

(see map). The roads will be 24 feet wide to accommodate two lanes. Therefore, the new roads

will be a total of 33,600 sq. ft. Asphalt costs $2 / sq. ft. and gravel costs $1 / sq. ft.

=>(33,600 sq. ft. * $2 / sq. ft. for asphalt) + (33,600 sq. ft. * $1 / sq. ft. for gravel) = $100,800

k. Storm water:

A storm water drain will be placed above the water park, convenience store, and skate park (seemap) to reduce the amount of runoff on the sites. The piping will lead to the road where it will

meet up with the townships storm water pipes. (1100 linear ft. of total piping)

($12 / ft. of piping*1100 ft.) + ($17 / sq. ft. of excavation * 2 ft. width * 1100 ft. long) = $50,600

l. Purchase Adjacent Property (10 acre): $83,580 / acre * 10 acres = $835,800

Note: Excavation of level sites are accounted for in cost estimates above.

n. Tree and brush clearing: In order to initially access the motel and restaurant site,

all the trees and brush must be cleared for the road, parking lots, and buildings. A path must also

be cleared from the main parking lot to the skate park for pedestrian access. (172,700 sq. ft. total

= 4 acres). $5,000 / acre to clear land * 4 acres = $20,000

V. Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Specifications

All structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing specifications will be followed according the

RSMeans and MasterSpec unless otherwise specified.

VI. Environmental Considerations and LEED:

It is extremely important for the design to incorporate materials from the local area such as rock

and timber, as well as reuse dirt from excavation sites on the BMX track. Utilizing stone,

timber, and dirt acquired on site for construction will result in regional LEED credit. The

buildings will utilize recycled carpet tiles and low VOC paint to improve indoor air quality.

Design and positioning of buildings will maximize use of natural light. Next, porous asphalt on

the roads and parking lots will minimize runoff, and make up for the large increase in

impermeable area created by the renovation satisfying both LEED requirements and MarionTownship zoning ordinances. To make use of the large water park roof, solar panels and

rainwater harvesting systems will be attached to provide power and water to the structure.

Furthermore, a rainwater harvesting tank will be implemented to collect water from the roofs of

the motel and restaurant to be used for landscaping and gardening purposes. Such as system is

minimal in cost requiring only some PVC pipe to funnel water from the gutter system to a

storage tank, so it is not factored into the cost.

VII. Construction

a. Delivery System

To accomplish this project we are going to use an integrated delivery system. It’s integrated in

the sense that we are going to use design bid build for a majority of the project but a portion of

the project will be design build as well. For example for the initial construction we are going to

use a design bid build system for the construction of the hotel and restaurant. However, the skate

park and convenience store will be design build and will employ the same contractor that we

previously used to accomplish the construction of the hotel and the restaurant. The plan is that by

doing this system of delivery it will allow the builder to build and complete the restaurant first to

draw people into the property and allow advertising to spread by word of mouth. The rustic inn

would be next so that now the hotel and restaurant are up and running and will allow us to start

advertising even further and then the finishing designs would be taking place on the water park,

skate park, and the convenience store so that once the construction is started it never stops and it

should be cheaper to use this combination delivery method than the other methods.




22

b. Construction Schedule:

The construction schedule used on this project will be very organized and well laid out and stuck

out through the assistance of the design professional and the construction manager. For the

construction schedule the first six to nine months will be spent on the critical design of the

project and this is to include completing all of the design on the first structures to be built andsite development plans. After this the permitting process is to be addresses by the design

professional and this should take at most three months after the design stage is completed and

then the construction process will begin.

The first thing to be done on the construction site will be the development of the site and this

includes building the construction roads and dealing with existing issues like trees and other

obstacles on the site. After this has been addressed the excavation can begin for the hotel and the

restaurant will begin. The development of the site should take at most two months, however this

can change if obstacles are encountered. The excavation should be complete in one and a half

months. Then the construction of the restaurant can begin. It should be completed in six months.The hotel is next and this should be finished in one year or a year and three months at most.

The next things to be constructed while the finishing touches are put on the first structures are

the finished roads that the public will use to access these structures as well as the parking lots.

This construction should only take three months to complete assuming asphalt and other

materials are readily available.

Following roadway completion construction of the water park can commence. The estimated

time of completion for the water park should be one year, but may be completed earlier

depending on availability of materials.

After this the construction of the convenience store will commence, and this construction should

only take six months to complete as long as the design plans are completed during the

construction of the hotel and the restaurant. In addition after this is completed the construction

will begin on the other two adventure parks and the corresponding parking areas.

The last bit of construction for the adventure parks and parking areas should be completed in

nine months. This brings the timeline of the project to a period of at most 5 years; however this

can change based on the effects of cost, quality, and material availability.




23

c. Construction Team Qualifications:

The construction team on this project will consist of a construction manager. He will be the first

person hired after the design professional to maximize value throughout the construction process.

The construction manager will be responsible for hiring the general contractor. It will also be the

construction manager’s job to hire the sub prime contractors as well. The construction manager will be in charge of ensuring that the construction process stays on schedule, as well as ensure

that the construction process is carried out safely and done correctly. He will be in charge of

setting deadlines for the excavation companies and the general contractor. More importantly

everyone will report to the design professional through the construction manager. The

construction manager will also be responsible for hiring all other construction employees and

making sure that they meet the qualifications established by the owner and design professional.

More importantly the construction manager will also hire the inspectors required to evaluate and

make sure the project will meet all the necessary specifications. Also certain preexisting

requirements must be met prior to the hiring. Such qualifications will include insured and

licensed contractors. The employed must also be comfortable working with and for the

construction manager. The employed must have past experience with the specialty areas of
