Mr. Troy Meyer
Town of Westlake

Westlake, Texas 76262
Re: Proposal for Westlake Academy Facilities Master Plan
Westlake, Texas
Dear Troy:
I am writing to summarize our discussions regarding creating a facilities master plan for Westlake Academy as
we discussed during our phone conversation last week. I have sincerely enjoyed our working relationship in
the past and appreciate the opportunity to continue to work together.
As I understand it, our basic scope of work is as follows:
The Proiect
The Town of Westlake is considering expanding Westlake Academy to accommodate a potential increased
enrollment, In anticipation of this expansion, the Town commissioned Peter Hays to prepare a report
describing potential expansion scenarios based on an increased enrollment. The scope of work in this
proposal is intended to review and validate the findings of the Hays report and convert those findings into a
Facilities Master Plan for the Academy accompanied by a Capital Improvement Plan.
We will also work with the Town to consider the impact on the timeline of the potential expansion including the
financial impacts.
We anticipate working closely with a small focus group during the planning process, which might include the
school principals and Town staff.
For the sake of this planning effort, no acquisition of additional property for the Academy is foreseen. We
would propose to perform the work in two phases as described below:
Information Collection and Review
Our first step will be to collect and study all the available information you have developed regarding the
Academy, including project enrollment forecasts. We already have a copy of the Hays report. We will work with
you to analyze this information in relation to any additional information that may have developed since the
report was developed.
We propose to meet with the focus group in a series of workshops to test and discuss our initial analysis.
These workshops will focus on enrollment increases versus financial modeling and the corresponding timeline.
Our analysis of the Hays report will specifically look at the scope, location and schedule of any new Academy
facilities as well as the potential location and program elements of those new facilities.
At the close of this initial phase of the work, we will document our analysis and findings for inclusion in the final
Facilities Master Plan document.
10
BEIWEITx BEMIER, PETTIT
ARCHITECTS + PLANNERS
Deliverables:
Bennett Benner Pettit will produce the following documents at the conclusion of this initial stage of the work:
A written report summarizing our analysis of the Hays report and suggestions for any updates or
alterations to its finding
A summary of the Academy's programmatic requirements, including gross areas for the proposed
buildings and amenities
• Sketch plans showing options for the initial master plan concepts
Schedule:
We anticipate this initial stage of the work will take eight weeks to complete.
Facilities Master Plan and Capital Improvement Plan
Based upon your agreement and approval of the work discussed above, we will proceed with development of
the Facilities Master Plan and Capital Improvement Plan. We'll continue to work with the Focus Group during
this stage of the work to review our progress and incorporate their input.
Based on the Master Plan document and the financial projections discussed earlier, we will develop a plan for
Capital Improvements. This plan will be tied to a timeline that corresponds to the Town's anticipated cash flow
and will include escalated construction estimates for each of the facilities and their FF&E costs. At the
conclusion of this phase, we will present the final plan document to you for review and comment. We'd also
anticipate presenting a summary of the plan to the Town Council, once for review in a work session
environment and also once for approval.
Deliverables:
The final Facilities Master Plan and Capital Improvements Plan document we will produce will include the
following drawings and documentation:
• The analysis and program information developed in the initial phase of work described above
• A rendered illustrative campus facilities master plan
• A use plan in color showing the various buildings and uses being proposed and a phasing plan
• A table showing approximate future building areas and parking counts
• Text explanation of the plan
• A capital improvement timeline, tied to enrollment and Town cash flow
• A bird's eye rendering of the plan
Schedule:
We anticipate this final portion of the work will require an additional eight to ten weeks to complete, dependent
on the schedule of Town Council meetings. During this period we anticipate a progress review and

§ 2.1.7 EVALUATION OF BUDGET AND COST OF THE WORK
§ 2.1.7.1 When the Project requirements have been sufficiently identified, the Architect shall prepare a
preliminary estimate of the Cost of the Work. This estimate may be based on current area, volume or similar
conceptual estimating techniques. As the design process progresses through the end of the preparation of the
Construction Documents, the Architect shall update and refine the preliminary estimate of the Cost of the
Work. The Architect shall advise the Owner of any adjustments to previous estimates of the Cost of the Work
indicated by changes in Project requirements or general market conditions. If at any time the Architect's
estimate of the Cost of the Work exceeds the Owner's budget, the Architect shall make appropriate
recommendations to the Owner to adjust the Project's size, quality or budget, and the Owner shall cooperate
with the Architect in making such adjustments.
§ 2.1.7.2 Evaluations of the Owner's budget for the Project, the preliminary estimate of the Cost of the Work
and updated estimates of the Cost of the Work prepared by the Architect represent the Architect's judgment as
a design professional familiar with the construction industry. It is recognized, however, that neither the
Architect nor the Owner has control over the cost of labor, materials or equipment, over the Contractor's
methods of determining bid prices, or over competitive bidding, market or negotiating conditions. Accordingly,
the Architect cannot and does not warrant or represent that bids or negotiated prices will not vary from the
Owner's budget for the Project or from any estimate of the Cost of the Work or evaluation prepared or agreed
to by the Architect.
§ 2.1.7.3 In preparing estimates of the Cost of the Work, the Architect shall be permitted to include
contingencies for design, bidding and price escalation; to determine what materials, equipment, component
systems and types of construction are to be included in the Contract Docurnents; to make reasonable
adjustments in the scope of the Project and to include in the Contract Documents alternate bids as may be
necessary to adjust the estimated Cost of the Work to meet the Owner's budget for the Cost of the Work. If an
increase in the Contract Sum occurring after execution of the Contract between the Owner and the Contractor
causes the budget for the Cost of the Work to be exceeded, that budget shall be increased accordingly.
§ 2.1.7.4 If bidding or negotiation has not commenced within 90 days after the Architect submits the
Construction Documents to the Owner, the budget for the Cost of the Work shall be adjusted to reflect changes
in the general level of prices in the construction industry.
§ 2.1.7.5 If the budget for the Cost of the Work is exceeded by the lowest bona fide bid or negotiated proposal,
the Owner shall:
.1 give written approval of an increase in the budget for the Cost of the Work;
.2 authorize rebidding or renegotiating of the Project within a reasonable time;
.3 terminate in accordance with Section 1.3.8.5; or
.4 cooperate in revising the Project scope and quality as required to reduce the Cost of the Work.
§ 2.1.7.6 If the Owner chooses to proceed under Section 2.1.7.5.4, the Architect, without additional
compensation, shall modify the documents for which the Architect is responsible under this Agreement as
necessary to comply with the budget for the Cost of the Work. The modification of such documents shall be the
limit of the Architect's responsibility under this Section 2.1.7. The Architect shall be entitled to compensation in
accordance with this Agreement for all services performed whether or not construction is commenced.

submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for
conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The
Architect's action shall be taken with such reasonable promptness as to cause no delay in the Work or in the
activities of the Owner, Contractor or separate contractors, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect's
professional judgment to permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose
of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions and quantities, or for
substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems, all of which remain the
responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract Documents. The Architect's review shall not
constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Architect, of any
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The Architect's approval of a specific
item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.
§ 2.6.4.2 The Architect shall maintain a record of submittals and copies of submittals supplied by the
Contractor in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
§ 2.6.4.3 If professional design services or certifications by a design professional related to systems, materials

are consistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. If necessary, the Architect shall prepare, reproduce
and distribute Drawings and Specifications to describe Work to be added, deleted or modified, as provided in
Section 2.8.2.
§ 2.6.5.2 The Architect shall review properly prepared, timely requests by the Owner or Contractor for changes
in the Work, including adjustments to the Contract Sum or Contract Time. A properly prepared request for a
change in the Work shall be accompanied by sufficient supporting data and information to permit the Architect
to make a reasonable determination without extensive investigation or preparation of additional drawings or
specifications. If the Architect determines that requested changes in the Work are not materially different from
the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Architect may issue an order for a minor change in the Work
or recommend to the Owner that the requested change be denied.

BEWETT, BEIWER PETTIT
ARCHITECTS+PLANNERS
§ 2.6.5.3 If the Architect determines that implementation of the requested changes would result in a material
change to the Contract that may cause an adjustment in the Contract Time or Contract Sum, the Architect shall
make a recommendation to the Owner, who may authorize further investigation of such change. Upon such
authorization, and based upon information furnished by the Contractor, if any, the Architect shall estimate the
additional cost and time that might result from such change, including any additional costs attributable to a
Change in Services of the Architect. With the Owner's approval, the Architect shall incorporate those estimates
into a Change Order or other appropriate documentation for the Owner's execution or negotiation with the
Contractor.

the date of final completion, shall receive from the Contractor and forward to the Owner, for the Owner's review
and records, written warranties and related docurnents required by the Contract Documents and assembled by
the Contractor, and shall issue a final Certificate for Payment based upon a final inspection indicating the Work
complies with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
§ 2.6.6.2 The Architect's inspection shall be conducted with the Owner's Designated Representative to check
conformance of the Work with the requirements of the Contract Documents and to verify the accuracy and
completeness of the list submitted by the Contractor of Work to be completed or corrected.
§ 2.6.6.3 When the Work is found to be substantially complete, the Architect shall inform the Owner about the
balance of the Contract Sum remaining to be paid the Contractor, including any amounts needed to pay for
final completion or correction of the Work.
§ 2.6.6.4 The Architect shall receive from the Contractor and forward to the Owner: (1) consent of surety or
sureties, if any, to reduction in or partial release of retainage or the making of final payment and (2) affidavits,
receipts, releases and waivers of liens or bonds indemnifying the Owner against liens.
