Project Understanding
We understand the City of Oshkosh, Wisconsin seeks a better understanding of the physical conditions and space needs
of its Transit Administration and Garage facility located at 926 Dempsey Trail, Oshkosh Wisconsin.
Our task is to provide a cursory review of the existing site/facility conditions at both locations and determine the
necessary departmental space needs required to house the Administrative and Garage operations at the Transit site.
Along with assistance from the city, our Team will determine the most cost-effective long-term planning solutions to either
renovate/upgrade or add unto the existing facility. Our recommendations will assist the City in planning its capital
improvement plan (CIP) and/or consider possible long-term capital investments in facility solutions.
Scope of Services
Our approach to this project is made up of two distinct phases.
Phase 1 Data Acquisition, Assessment & Space Needs
Phase 2 Concept & Master Plan Development
Phase 1 – Data Acquisition, Assessment & Space Needs
The purpose of Phase 1 is to determine the necessary short- and long-term facility
needs for all divisional spaces. Areas of analysis include administrative, data room/s,
amenities, maintenance, parts, shops, wash bay, vehicle/equipment storage and any
outbuildings. The Deliverable from this analysis will be a spatial worksheet defining the
current and future needs of the site and facility. The site and facility space needs
analysis includes the following tasks listed below, specifically:
1. Set Project Scope and Schedule
2. Establish organization and agenda for meetings.
3. Establish team interaction, committee members and member roles.
4. Provide regular updates to the City.
5. Conduct a thorough building inspection at both locations to determine the
general conditions and continued life expectancy of the buildings.
Section 3. Understanding & Project Approach
Docusign Envelope ID: 3CA7E2EA-984F-4CE6-A66D-6952FAE31CD7
(9)
6. Conduct an analysis of current and future operations including FTE’s, part-time, seasonal staffing, and equipment
storage, specifically.
A. Areas of analysis include administrative, restrooms with showers, break/training room, shops, vehicle
maintenance, warehouse/s, tools, barricade areas, wash bay and vehicle/equipment storage. We propose to
inventory all equipment including size, required space and support.
B. Conduct interviews with key staff to determine the appropriate space needs up to 20-25 years.
7. Create a base plan of the existing site and facility, based off available drawings and GIS Mapping Data. Plan to
indicate available data such as existing property lines, overhead/underground utilities, parking (employee, public,
ADA), easements, adjoining properties and comprehensive property mapping depicting site features i.e., structures,
drainage patterns and existing pavements. This cursory site design survey will serve as a basis for the necessary
improvements. A more detailed survey should be conducted by the city in the event the project moves to the next
level.
8. As a team, working with the City, we will determine the existing area of each room then develop and circulate
respective spatial requirements. Data from this document will be incorporated into our “spatial worksheet” and the
proposed space plan.
9. Review site circulation issues at both locations and evaluate site access, traffic flow, turn radii around any existing
buildings and adjoining streets, exterior lighting, yard storage needs and security measures taken.
10. Develop an Initial Spaces Needs Summary Report and Worksheet.
1. The report will be circulated to key staff for review and comment.
2. Feedback will be incorporated in the Concept Plans.
Phase 2 – Concept & Master Plan Development
Once the Phase 1 data is analyzed, we will present the space needs as conceptual schemes depicting workflow,
room size, adjacencies, facility layout, outbuildings, yard storage requirements and any possible future expansion
alternatives at the Transit site. The tasks are listed below, specifically:
1. Concept Plan Development:
a. Kueny Architects will develop concept plans with varying degrees of complexity. Plans will be reviewed with the City
and refined into various generic concepts depicting possible new construction and/or additions/renovations.
b. As a team, we will access pros and cons and operational efficiencies for each plan.
2. Conceptual Estimate of Preliminary Models
a. Each concept plan will be paired with a conceptual estimate of construction costs in addition to other soft
costs.
b. Costs of each plan will be compared side-by-side numerically and graphically for analysis by team
members and City staff.

(10)
3. Final Plan and Detailed Estimate
a. Upon selection of the final solution, Kueny Architects will provide a detailed master plan and expand the
conceptual estimate into a total program budget.
b. Our team will work with City budgeting cycles as appropriate to outline multi-year CIP funding options if
necessary.
4. Facilities Concept Plan
a. Upon completion, a Space Needs & Assessment Report document will be provided for review. The report will
include the following:
1. Study objectives and summary of findings.
2. Cursory analysis of existing conditions, operations & staffing level review.
3. Spatial guidelines for each area (required space for each function).
4. Minimum building envelope standards and primary methods of construction.
5. Mechanical, electrical and technology system parameters.
6. Site planning, immediate, short- and long-term needs.
7. Estimate of probable costs and possible phasing plans.
5. Final Presentation
a. A technical presentation will be made to the Common Council.
Meetings
Kickoff & Project Team Meeting. Here we will conduct a meeting with appropriate City staff and employees.
The purpose of this meeting will be to introduce the team, explain the scope and goals, explain the work plan
and requested information, and answer any questions or concerns.
Staff and Utility Meetings. We will schedule various meetings with staff to gain perspectives regarding service
delivery. These meetings will be scheduled throughout the project to compile and explain data, and/or explain
our means, methods, and opinions.

All the projects listed below began with an analysis of existing space needs and facilities assessment. In some cases, a reo rganization
of departmental space needs was the best option for the client. In other cases, a new facility was more cost effective in the long run.
All have experienced radically improved operations in terms of efficiency, cost savings, and safety. In many cases, the proj ect
consolidated multiple departments from various sites into one consolidated facility.
City of Appleton - Appleton Valley Transit – 2020-2024

Village of Weston – Municipal Center 2022
Project: The initial objective was to assess current and future spatial conditions of
four operations at four locations throughout the Village. The Village expects
significant growth to occur over the next 25 years. and needs an existing facility
plan to accommodate the growth.
The new Municipal Center and its departments included Planning & Zoning,
Treasurer, Finance, Clerk of Courts, Building Inspections, Vehicle Maintenance
and Vehicle Storage along with other various departments. Facilities reviewed
included the Municipal/Village Hall, Safety Building, Parks & Recreation and
Landfill.
We also conducted a structural analysis and engineering inspection of
mechanicals, electrical and plumbing (MEP) of the two primary buildings. The
deliverable was a report detailing the necessary spatial requirements, (MEP) and
site improvements needed over the next 25 years.
The report recommended a new Municipal Center should be built. Kueny
Architects was selected to continue our services contract for the design and
construction of the new facility. The facility was completed in 2022.
Cost: $14,500,000 Area: 87,160 s.f.
