new air barrier, and continuous insulation to improve durability and energy
performance. The station was occupied during construction.
Jefferson Healthcare, Port Townsend
This new 3 -story $20 million Emergency and Special Services Building is

3.0 PROJECT APPROACH AND METHODS
JRS is a service focused consulting business. This means that we focus on listening to clients and laying out options
for materials, systems and assemblies so that clients can make the decisions appropriate to their own values.
JRS's approach will be to first understand the City's goals for each of the buildings. This will include
expectations for maintenance, Iong-termi durability, appearance of the facade, and function of spaces and
building enclosure components. We will participate in meetings with the design team and City representatives
to discuss these items and specifics of the enclosure design. JR5 will provide markups of drawings and
specifications consistent with the agreed to basis of design. We will produce design review reports that
summarize our comments and recommendations. During construction we will attend meetings and mock-ups
and perform ongoing reviews of in progress construction work. Directly after each field visit, we will issue
detailed reports that include descriptions of what was observed and its conformance with project documents.
Photos will be included to show conditions.
Further description is provided in Section 6: Pricing.

As a Building Envelope Specialist, Jose will provide senior technical support and peer
review of our internal documents and reviews before they are issued.
Jose has over ten years of experience in building science consulting on a range of public
and private new construction developments. He is adept at working though complex
problems to arrive at elegant solutions.
In 2015 and 2016 Jose was the Technical Lead on roof replacement of the West LA VA
Hospital in Los Angeles California. He performed field assessments, provided system and
product options, and helped develop the design of this $5 million dollar project. Through integrated design
with the client, architect, and product manufacturers, Jose helped develop a replacement approach that
allowed the client to avoid moving dozens of large mechanical units that would have impacted building
operations. This saved the hospital nearly $1 M and helped avoid service interruptions.

7.0 PRICING
Pricing for services for each of the 4 projects included in the RFP are below. A general description of the tasks
undertaken within each phase are as follows:
Design Development: In this phase, JRS will develop the accepted conceptual design in sufficient detail to
allow the project team to start producing more detailed documents. We will complete the following
• Perform a technical review of Schematic Design drawings. Provide comments and mark-ups to the
Architect, identifying key areas requiring attention and highlighting issues and areas of discussion for
the project team. Update conceptual recommendations for enclosure assemblies and materials
• Attend design meetings, including one at the start of our work and one following a technical review.
• Review the overall durability of building envelope elements considering required maintenance,
renewals, and service life.
• Help determine the efficient layering of building envelope elements to help simplify future repairs and
replacements.
• Review project materials' compatibility and resistance to various niechanisms of deterioration given
their nature, function, and exposure.
Review HVAC recommendations and energy modeling, identify relevant building envelope
coordination items, and recommend solutions.
• Produce an Enclosure Basis of Design report for use and consideration by the Owner and Architect.
Construction Documents: JRS will meet and coordinate with the project team, and attend design and
construction team meetings as needed. We will review the Architect's construction documents for consistency
with building envelope performance criteria established during earlier phases.
• Perform technical reviews of Design Development drawings, including comments and mark-ups.
Confirming Design Development phase recommendations and developing alternatives, if necessary due
to budget and constructability constraints.
Revise the Enclosure Basis of Design report as needed.
Review Construction Documents for building science good practice for consistency with the enclosure
basis for design. Produce marked up drawings and specifications with accompanying report for
consideration by owner and architect.
Bidding Assistance: JRS will perform the following services as -needed:
• Respond to bidder questions and substitution requests.
• Assist in leveling of bids.
• Review and respond to value engineering suggestions made by the General Contractor (GC) and
subcontractors.
Submittal and RFI Review: JRS will review building enclosure shop drawings and submittals for conformance
with established design concepts. We will assess design concepts for water resistance, air tightness and
thermal performance— both within each system and at integration points between different building systems.
RFIs will be reviewed and answered to resolve issues consistent with the enclosure design intent.

Pre -Installation Meeting: JRS will attend pre -construction meetings for critical envelope components on
site with the Owner, Architect, GC, Installer, and Manufacturer's Representative to review site conditions,
site-specific detail concerns, and installation procedures. We will provide comments to the GC for inclusion
in meeting minutes.
Mock-up Observation: We typically recommend mock-ups for critical and common components on
projects. This commonly includes windows and other wall penetrations
• Attend building envelope related mock-ups to review installation of building envelope systems, and
evaluate their conformance with construction documents and industry good practice.
• Provide recommendations to help resolve unforeseen conditions that may arise at mock-ups.
• Document mock-ups in Field Review Reports.
Field Reviews: JRS will attend the site to review ongoing installation of envelope components
• At agreed-upon intervals, perform site visits to review in -progress installation of building envelope
components and assemblies.
• The intent of field reviews is to periodically compare observable in -progress building envelope
component installation with architectural drawings, pertinent specifications, shop drawings, and
mock-ups.
Document field reviews in written reports. Review items requiring action with site staff prior to leaving
site.
Track Action Items arising from field reviews using our customized searchable database. Provide Action
Item lists to the GC and construction team periodically during the course of construction, to address
open items.
• Reports are issued 24 hours after completion of review
Window Testing: Although not required by code, water penetration resistance testing on installed window
systems is considered good practice. JRS will review selected window/wall areas and perform testing in
accordance with ASTM E-1 1 05-00, using a calibrated rain rack and depressurizing the interior space to an
appropriate level, as outlined in the specifications or applicable codes and standards. Temporary enclosure
and a laborer, if required, are to be provided by others.
A report for each test will be prepared outlining test protocol, describing observations, and where
appropriate, presenting suggestions for possible modifications or improvements.
Air Barrier Testing: JRS will conduct a field test of the entire building, or a portion thereof, in compliance
with the 2015 Washington State Energy Code Section C402.4 — Air Leakage (Mandatory). JRS will provide
the personnel and equipment required to perform this testing, and will prepare and deliver a written report
of test results and findings. Building setup and preparation assistance from the Contractor will be necessary,
Prior io testing, JRS will meet with the Contractor on site to coordinate and develop a detailed list of setup
and preparation tasks.
