Pre -Development Schedule to Close, will commence Conceptual Design and Budget, and guide
construction and design based on the results of Program of Requirements validation.
Geotechnical and Site Assessment studies.
Concept Design will outline the function and form of the building and generate enough
validity to inform initial building massing and elevation drawings, floor plan stackings, general
gross square footage and building layout. It will provide a baseline for Hard Cost (building
material and labor costs) budgets, to be further refined in each design phase. Additionally. it will
provide content to generate marketing materials and collateral used to market the property to the
community, news media, internal and external stakeholders, potential donors and potential
tenants.
The proposed scope is as follows, and will take approximately 90 days to complete once
commenced, not including LGC and/or University approvals, and is subject to receipt of the

infrastructure and any obstructions and creation of a model and digital mapping of
subgrade conditions
o Establish project control information in coordination with RILGC and City and
adjacent projects
• Enviromnental Site Assessment
o Performance of Phase I, and if necessary Phase II, environmental site
assessments, to determine level of environmental and/or hazardous materials
abatement or remediation work, if any.
Construction (30-90 days)
• Updated Hard Cost budgeting, based on updated Concept Package
• Update preliminary construction schedule

Pre -Development Agreement Page 16 of 19
the Project to move forward prior to committing to the next funding level. This process, beyond
the Concept Design Update phase, will require engagement with potential industry partners
(previously identified as Lockheed Martin, Elbit, and Alcon) to assess viability of committed
commercial leases, verification of parking development capital sources, agreement of
development schedule and timing for commercial and financial close as well as significant
milestones (City Council. RILGC Board. Board of Regents, etc. approvals).
Subject to a subsequent agreement to continue Development Services, Developer's
Schematic Design will determine the building areas (common areas, circulation areas, rentable
areas, and building core), physical space requirements of HVAC and MEP, confirm or revise the
total building square footage. and commence permitting and entitlement activities (as needed).
These actions will further inform Project Hard Costs, the total Project budget, and the Project
schedule.
