De~ian Issues
Prior to the completion of this project: all on-site,
residential training simulation had to be performed in
the adjacent commercial bum building. The shear size
and configuration of the large bum building severely
limited the realism of a residential setting. The
residential bum building is unlike most any others
currently in use in that the fioor pian mimics a three
bedroom, two bath single family dwelling. It is con-
structed of masonry walls and a concrete roof deck.
Each room has appropriate heat shields in order to
protect the structure from heat associated with limited
live bums. Trench drains are continuous throughout the
building for training and building wash-down. A sioped,
frame roof was set above the concrete roof deck for
more realistic training scenarios that include a continu.
ous heaUsmoke shaft for roof penetration training.
Many of the beneficial details utilized in the commercial
bum building were incorporated into this structure.

Master Planning and Schematic Design for a
new Fire Training Facility to include classroom
facilities, training/drill tower, burn building,
pumper test pits. and exterior training areas for
vehicle extrication and burn props.
Desian Issues
A very tight budget and a small ten acre urban
site, bordered by a multifamily apartment com-
plex on one side, and a residential subdivision on
the other. The front of the site sits on a major
highway, and the rear of the site is bordered by a
watershed to an adjacent lake. This site pre-
sents significant challenges to the designer in
choosing building systems and live burn tech-
nologies.

The Gastonia Fire Department headquarters station
was in desperate need of replacement. As part of a
larger bond referendum, the citizens of Gastonia
funded the design and construction of a new head-
quarters station that would selVe both the administra-
tive and fire selVice functions of the department. The
new 24,000 SF station has 4 drive through apparatus
bays, 1 maintenance bay, individual sleep rooms,
fitness areas, large kitchen, and dayroom. The
Administrative suite has offices and conference
rooms for Chief, the Assistant Chiefs, other adminis-
trative personal, along with a large training rooms for
continuing education and use by the citizens. The
Station also includes a museum highlighting the
history of the Fire Service in Gastonia.

With a 9rowin9 population and a desire to offer its
citizens the best public safety service possible the
City decided to move the Fire Department out of the
Police Department and into its own facility. The new
headquarters station is located next door to their old
shared facility and in the'heart of the historic
downtown district. Before we began design we did a
comprehensive study of the departments needs and
designed a station that will serve the department for
the next 20 - 30 years. To meet the design guide-
lines of the historic district we used a split level
design to reduce the buildings height, a hip roofthat
blended in with the surrounding buildings, and
include the columned entry. Inside the station has 4
drive through truck bays, sleep rooms, trainingl
community room which is connected to the kitchen,
a storage mezzanine above the truck bays, and
offices for the administrative staff, storage and bunk
rooms that can sleep up to eight in semiprivate
areas.

Due to annexation and tremendous residential
growth, the City ofThomasville was in need of
two immediate fire substations. The Owner
desired stations that were functional, attractive.
as maintenance free and durable as possible,
and be capable of speedy construction. The
, facilities are pre-engineered, masonry veneered
buildings with standing-seam metal roofs.
Misc
The stations were designed to be prototypes for
the City. The design allows the number of
vehicle bays and sleep rooms to be determined
and built as each station requires. Each station
also includes a small. police sub station room
with a separate entry.

The First Landing Fire and Rescue station is to be built just a couple of
hundred feet from the Chesapeake Bay shoreline. The site is very near the
site of the pilgrims "first landing" site, thus the name. The need for this
station was driven by the exponential growth occurring in this area. It is
intended that this design will serve as a prototype for future Virginia Beach
substations.
The plans includes a four-bay, drive through station, a three-story training
tower, a separate boat storage building that also serves as a covered kiosk
for the community bike path, and an apparatus fueling station. The buiiding
exterior is designed to reflect many of the area coastal building characteris-
tics found along the Bay. The training tower mimics many characteristics of
a coast guard tower, including the observation walk at its top.

'I PROJECT APPROACH
')
The post decodes have seen a marked increase in the responsibilities of Police and Fire Departments. Once
limited to fighting structural fires, Fire Departments are now required to respond ta a variety of other emergen-
cies ranging from hazard material spills to search and rescue. Police Departments have evolved from just hav-
ing "cops on the beat" to having Tactical Units. These transfarmations have necessitated a change in the type
of training, and the type of training facilities required.
Though built for today's threats, Kirkpatrick Architecture studio (KAS) and Stewart Cooper Newell Architects
(SCN) believe that these training facilities should be flexible enough to allow for the training of the unforeseen.
The training facility needs to accommodate some shared needs between the Fire and Police Departments,
while meeting their individual training needs. Historically, Fire and Police are interconnected by the common
goal that demands serving the community and its citizens as guardians of public health, safety, and welfare.
KAS and SCN are excited for the opportunity to continue the relationship with the City of Denton that was
begun with the Central Fire Station. Because of the success of that project, KAS has reunited that team of
consultants. We believe that keeping this team together will facilitate the success of the project by removing
the learning curve involved at the start of most jobs, and by capitalizing on our familiarity with the City, its needs
and its processes.
For the present project we are happy to be able to utilize the team's expertise in law enforcement and training
facilities and to build on our relationship with the Denton Police Department. As a means to address the com-
prehensive needs of this project, we have included Tommy Abercrombie as a member of our team, an Emer-
gency Services and Fire Service Consultant.
Our team is uniquely qualifled to program and master plan a training facility, having an architect, user/opera-
tor, and engineer who all have previous experience with the process.
Further, combining Mr. Abercrombie's experience as Administrative Coordinator for the Fire Service Training
) Center at Tarrant County College with KAS' extensive experience working with higher educational institutions
will enable us to work well with the representative from North Central Texas College.
Besides uniquely suited to design the facilities, we are uniquely concerned with their success. Its success direct-
ly impacts the safety of our families and our community.

Working with City Departments to Accomplish the Project
KAS proved with the Central Fire Station that thorough planning and intimate knowledge of the owner's opera-
tions facilitates a smooth project from schematic design through construction, resulting in award-winning facili-
ties.
Kick-Off Meeting
We would request a meeting with representatives of all end-users of the future facility. In addition to the Po-
lice and Fire Departments, we envision this including representatives from Purchasing, Facilities Management,
the City Manager's office, Utilities, Planning, and Engineering. This gives everyone the opportunity to meet the
project players. At this meeting the project goals and objectives would be determined. The process would be
described and all players would leave with knowledge of the data that will be requested of them
Design Charette
We will begin the design process with a several day in-house design charette with KAS, SCN, our consultants
and representatives from the City of Denton. With the Central Fire Station, this model proved to not only be an
excellent model for allowing the owner to communicate their needs, but it gave everyone on the team owner-
ship in the building's design, all while greatly shortening the typical schematic design phase.
Programming Portion
Denton has provided a program for the new training facility and fire station, We would meet with end-users
to confirm all activities are accommodated for and land/space/size requirements for each of those activities.
Any refinement of the program can occur at this meeting. The result of this meeting will be a draft written pro-
gram that identifies:
. Training Scenarios, including confined space, roof venting, etc.
. Training Evolutions, including number of repetitions, number of fire fighters per evolution, activities, etc,
. Bum prop types, specifically Class A or Class B (combustible or gas) props.
. All other facility activities, interiar and exterior.
. The size of space requirement for every activity.
. The estimated cost of construction for the facilities.
. Potential phasing opportunities for construction
Planning Portion
After the program has been honed, the next step is to produce a preliminary master plan. The relationships of
the parts of the training facility are critical to the success of the project. After a preliminary master plan is de-
veloped, the second part of the charette would design the fire station itself.

Development of Schematic Design
') Following the charette. weekly meetings would be held with the same City representatives until a finai sche-
matic design is produced.
The Programming meeting outlined above results in the Owner's "wants". By presenting those wants in the
Presentation of Draft Program. we are able to inform the Owner of their associated costs. This ailows us oppor-
tunity to recommend to the Owner potential activities that could be reduced. eliminated. or designed for a
future construction phase. By showing the Owner what other ciients have done in similar situations. we are able
to provide direction to Owner.
Presentation offhe Final Schematic Design
Based on Owner approval of the preceding phase. the final submission of all data wili be provided. ,This will
include rendered drawings aiong with the bound. written report that outlines the entire planning process and
the results.
This presentation wiil also include construction estimates for Fire Station #7 and for the entire master planned
project. Cost estimating will be done through a third party estimator.
,
Design Development
.l Weekly meetings between KAS. consultants. and the City representatives will continue through the end of
Design Deveiopment. This close working reiationship promotes communication and owner awareness.of the
project and hopefully. eliminates the source of most change orders. Further. it leads to a building that is not
only beautiful. but serves the owner's needs completely.
While developing the drawings we will actively pursue pricing input to maintain fiscal control.
Construction Documents
Based on Owner approval of the preceding phase. the Construction Documents will be completed. The 75%
Issue wiil be priced to ensure the project will conform to the budget before going out to bid.
Bidding / Contract Negotiation
KAS and SCN will assist the City of Denton with receipt of proposals and negotiating a construction contract.
Construction Administration
Even with our reputation for complete construction drawings. the construction process sometimes provides un-
foreseen issues or necessitates changes. Believing that the client's interests are best served when the Architect
is active in the construction process: KAS' commitment to having Project Manager in the field is unparalleled.
Whenever an issue arises. KAS can be at Facilities Management's office in less than five minutes.
Throughout the entire process KAS will orchestrate the involvement of consultants. be responsible for schedul-
ing. and maintain primary client contact.

Working with City Staff
'I
Purchasing Department
Relying on our experience working with the City ot Denton, we will assist Purchasing in the preparation of bid
documents. We will then assist them in the soliciting bids from general contractors and the subsequent evalu-
ation of those bids. After the selection of the contractor, KAS would attend the pre award meeting with the
contractor and be available to advise on the drafting of the contractor's contract.
Facilities Management
It is important to get Facilities Management involved in the process early, so that we produce 0 building that
Denton con easily maintain. To achieve this, Facilities needs to be consulted when writing our specifications
and when designing the HV AC, electrical. and plumbing systems. Early consultation con prevent difficult
changes later in the process,
utilities
Due to the size of the site and the uniqueness of its development, we will involve Utilities in the master planning
process and continue to work with them, so that this project is in concert with Denton's long range plans for util-
ity development. '
Division of Environmental Quality
We will work with this division to coordinate with the City's environmental management efforts. We are espe-
cially sensitive that every effort is token to protect the Hickory Creek Watershed. By detaining water runoff on
the site, we could help recharge the ground water, create aesthetically pleasing site features, and diminish the
capitol costs associated with storm sewer.
Environment CommiHee
While currently Denton does not hove green building criteria, we understand that it may produce something
within the next few months. This project is the City's first for this committee to hove input from the start. We
will work with this committee and the user groups to determine which green strategies ore appropriate for this
project.
} Planning
Even though this is a City project, it will still hove to meet 011 Development Codes. Hoving Planning involved in
the Kick-off Meeting, or having 0 separate meeting before the Kick-off Meeting, would be essential in a smooth
project.
Engineering
For the success of the project, Engineering's knowledge of the growth of Denton and the City's Mobility Plan will
be essential. Their input will help us determine the best placement of the different components of the project.
Our civil engineer will be well versed with Denton's requirements.
Working with Community Groups
The scope of this project and it's proximity to residential areas will necessitate meetings with community groups.
While having general experience in presenting in open community meetings, KAS has specific experience
presenting to, and serving on, Denton's community groups. The feedback and insight gained in these meetings
con be crucial to the project's success.

Sustainability
That the buildings we build and the places we create should promote the health of it's users, respect the land
and community on which it is dependent, and minimize any environmental impacts is a fundamental tenet
of architecture. KAS is committed to the development of sustainoble design in hopes that eventually it may
become known as what it is...good design. Further, we see the green building strategies that emerge in this
development, not as a "ought to do" out of shame or guilt, but os'a "should do," because they will provide
quantitative and qualitative benefits to the City of Denton,
With years of experience, and with a LEED Accredited Professional on staff, we will work with you to evaluate
which green building strategies are applicable to this project. These strategies are too numerous to fully discuss
here, but we offer a few far your consideration.
Energy
Buildings use one-third of America's total energy and about two-thirds of its electricity. New efficient HV AC sys-
tems, daylighting controls, high performance building envelopes, and other innovations can reduce traditional
energy costs by over half. These systems, however, are constrained by the architect's siting of the building and
his knowledge of the site's micro-climate.
Dale W. Caffey Consulting Engineers (DWCCE) has designed geo-thermal mechanical systems for several differ-
ent types of c1ientle.
KAS used the thermal mass of thick masonry walls and the insulation of the earth to design a highly energy ef-
ficient for the Texas Employment Commission,
Indoor Environmental Quality
With the mountain of evidence available, there is no debate that when occupants have thermal comfort,
natural light and a view, a healthy workplace, and are able to hear themselves think productivity rises. This rise
can be between six and sixteen percent. This is not to mention higher retention rates and fewer sick days.

KAS understood this when they designed Borman Elementary and Evers Elementary. By designing the windows
specific to the elevation they faced, KAS was able to maximize the daylighting for the classrooms and minimize
solar heat gain.
With average Americans spending over 80% of their time indoors, "off gassing" from paints, adhesives and con.
struction materials can greatly impact their health. This consideration should be given even to inmates. So for
the additions to the Denton Jail, we specified law-VOC paints. Where we had to use epoxy paint on cell doors
'and windows, we had those painted off-site.
Water
Once used without thought, it is now clearwater is a commodity to be used with thrift. Low flow toilets, water-
less urinals, gray water systems, rain water harvesting and other strategies would be applicable to this project.
But more importantly, with the amount of water that will be used in the burn props, a water reclamation system
will be needed. Kimley Horn provided just such a system for the Tarrant County College Fire Service Training
Center.
Site
The Training Center portion of the project will have specific challenges to ensure that the site and surrounding
community is treated with sensitivity. Among these challenges is how to abate the heavy metals, mostly lead,
from the firing range which can contaminate the land and the ground water. There are several options we will
review, from altering the traditional berm design to, to bullet traps, to using lead-free ammunition.

State-of-the-Art Fire Technology Training Facility Opening in
North Texas
by
John D. Blacker, P.E.
America's fIrefighters are being called on today to do far more
than fight fIres. Whether it's a hazardous-material spill, floodwater
rescue, underground gas leak, trench cave-in rescue, or chemical fIre,
firefIghters more than anyone else are being asked to staff the front
lines.
At the same time, however, tax-strapped county and city
governments have continued to reduce funding for fire and police
training - a decade-long trend. The gap between public safety needs
and adequate training for contemporary firefighters is growing at a
worrisome rate.
)
)
)
)
)
)
In North Texas, however, a community college system is
blazing a trail away from that trend. On the outskirts of Fort Worth,
the Nor'~'lwest Ca..'TIpUS of Tarrant County College (TCC) in August
opened a 27-acre, $18 million fire-training complex that insiders only
half-jokingly refer to as the "Disneyland of fire training facilities." In
much the same way Disney raised the bar for entertainment parks, the
TCC Fire Service Training Center may change the look and reach of
fIre training for all time.
The 'Disneyland of Fire Training Facilities'
TCC's training center includes a six-story building for training
high-rise frrefIghting; a one-story complex simulating a three-store
strip shopping center; a two-story structure reflecting a hotel or
apartment environment; and a separate row of simulated houses that
have alleys, fences, landscaping, and straddle a simulated city street.
The complex also includes a manmade channel used to train
frrefIghters and police offIcers in swift-water rescue, a pad for fuel-
spill training exercises, and a system of trenches where rescue workers
will practice rescues necessitated by broken gas lines or trench
collapses.
')
)
Rounding out the complex are a simulated fue station, two
partially enclosed outdoor classroom buildings, and a three-story
administration/classroom building from which computers control the
intensity of fires and reaction of the flame as the extinguishment agent
is applied. The administration building also includes space for regular
campus classes and meetings.
It's the integration of all these elements into a unified facility,
one greater that the sum of its parts, that is really successful at TCC,
said Todd Tovani, the design architect with BJSS Duarte Bryant.
Impressively ambitious, TCC's training center actually began
in the late 1990s as a modest 40,000 square foot addition to the
school's police academy. That plan began to grow dramatically,
however, when college officials began to realize how far the nation
had fallen behind in fue training.
"The project went through three stages of growth," said Carl
Pringle, director of facilities for TCC. "Before we were finished, our
project went to $18 million. But that shows the extent of the need. For
example, fuefighters here who want to practice swift-water rescue
used to have to rent time at the water amusement park in Arlington.
As we discovered how large the needs were, the budget grew
accordingly. Our trustees also became increasingly excited about the
role we could play in filling a huge public safety gap."
TCC met the funding challenges by implementing a novel
approach, one that allowed the college to fund the project through
maintenance tax revenue rather than general obligation bonds.
As the design team began to take shape, TCC contracted with
PBS&J, a national engineering and environmental consulting firm, to
provide civil engineering, landscaping and surveying services.
Architect of record for the team was PBK Architects of Dallas and the
design architect was BJSS Duarte Bryant of Olympia, Wash. It also
entered into a construction management -at -risk agreement with
Charter Builders, Ltc. of Dallas. As part of the cm-at-risk partnership,
Charter was responsibilities for managing the construction process as
well as cost control.

Many Systems, Many Challenges
In terms of scope and use of technology, few if any training
centers come close to matching TCC's. For civil engineers, the project
required acute planning to assure the water, fire and structural systems
would work efficiently. Moreover, TCC's fire training center has the
singular mission of simulating danger at every corner. Although it may
be a controlled environment, the training center's fires, swift-water
and trenches are very real. For engineers, then, there was little room
for error. TCC began construction of its training center in August of
2001. Slightly northeast and contiguous to the main campus, the
training complex is built on terrain that rises from 710 to 758 feet
above sea level. Instead of leveling the land, planners saved the natural
contour so trainees can experience what it's like fighting fires and
parking fue trucks on uneven terrain, Tovani said.
)
.Excavation was a bit challenging because of the lack of
topsoil. In most areas, rock was found only six inches below the
surface, although the limestone strata were not uniform. However, the
rock could be ripped instead of blasted. By the time the complex
opened, about 60,000 cubic yards of material had been cut and 45,000
cubic yards of material had been filled. Lime stabilization was not
required. Where the sub-grade was in rock, crushed limestone or
"chat" was used to fill the voids from the excavation operation.
Site work also included construction of two ponds at the base
of the complex. Because of environmental and economic concerns, the
training center recycles the water it uses. Initially, water was pumped
into the two ponds from nearby Marine Creek Lake, establishing the
ponds as a recyclable source of water for the training complex. Storm
water and extinguishment agent runoff is collected in the storm sewer
system and piped to the upper and lower ponds. Water is pumped
throughout the training area via 8-inch and lO-inch pipes.
I
Water World
Water plays a critical role at the complex, not only in the
extinguishing of fires, but also in the training of swift-water rescues.
TCC's training center has made swift-water training a priority because
that type of rescue has a high fatality rate, according to TCC Fire
Academy Coordinator Tommy Abercrombie, a long-time Fort Worth
firefighter who is credited with bringing the project to fruition.
Consequently, various swift-water scenarios are offered. One includes
the rescue of someone stranded on the top of a vehicle in the middle of
the channel. Another involves the use of rescue ropes stretched across
the channel. Immediately below the spillway, where hydraulic churn is
strongest, immersed fuefighters are taught how to save themselves
when caught in a hydraulic jump. The defensive swim section of the
channel teaches rescuers to keep their feet up and catch rescue throw-
bags.
To make these exercises possible, PBS&J created a concrete
channel over 700 feet long that runs from the top of the complex to the
base. Five feet deep and eight feet wide, the channel begins at a 15'
long x 32' wide x 12' deep headworks structure.
At that point two pumps, discharging water at a rate of 80,000
gallons per minute, move water from the upper pond through a 72 inch
concrete pipe into the headworks structure. The water fills the
structure and spills over into the channel. The pumps are 355
horsepower, submersible pumps provided by ITT Flygt Corp.
Depending on which of the several different exercises is
underway -- and there are several different types -- water velocity
varies depending on the cross-sectional area of the channel. At its most
rapid point immediately below the head works structure, water velocity
is more than seven feet per second in the defensive swim channel.
Where low-water crossing techniques are taught, velocity is two feet
per second. When training exercises are not underway, the two larger
pumps are shut off and a smaller 300 GPM pump continues to trickle
water through the channel. Symbolically, water is very important to
the facility. The trickle flow of the swift-water rescue prop helps
reinforce this concept as it is viewed from key pints around the
complex.
The channel is also used to teach emergency personnel how to
draft water from alternate water sources such as streams, lakes and
swimming pools. Motorized valves on some of the training fire
hydrants, controlled from the central computer room, are used to
reduce hydrant pressure, creating a scenario where the trucks have to
draft from the pond to have adequate water.
The facility has two hydrant systems. The first is connected to
the city water supply and provides real fire protection to the complex.
The second system is for training. Two 88 -horsepower Flygt
submersible pumps provide more than 1,600 GPM at 50 psi to the
training water hydrants. A 20,000 gallon hydro-pneumatic tank is
supplied in the system to modulate the pressure. Since the water is
being pumped from the lower pond, a f1ltration system has been
installed to protect the pumps on the fire trucks. The system, supplied
by Lakos Sand Separation Systems, consists of two eight-foot long
separators capable of removing 98 percent of particles 74 microns and
larger with minimal pressure loss.
Standing up to the Heat
J
TCC's training exercises cover the gamut of commercial,
residential and industrial fires. The six-story simulated high-rise,
which allows the training of high-angle rescues, includes a loading
dock with a tractor-trailer rig fireplace and an area where warehouse
fires can be simulated. The upper floor includes a special spring-
supported floor that creates the sensation of working on a buckling
surface. Adjacent to the new high-rise is an older four-story fire tower,
which is not active but was kept to help simulate a downtown street.
In the nearby retail strip center, three storefront shops are able
to simulate a dry cleaning establishment, restaurant with commercial
kitchen, and other types of businesses. The hoteVapartment training
center includes a breezeway, which is common at hotels and multi-
family facilities, and fireplaces with systems that emit non-toxic
smoke.
'i
Designed as the premier fire-training center in America, Tee's
complex is expected to receive extensive use. By design, it allows
several training activities to be conducted simultaneously. To extend
the life of the training buildings, the team selected exterior CMU
concrete brick, which is best able to withstand extreme temperatures.
On the inside, Pagenite wall panels further reduce heat forced on the
structural components.
Fuel for the Fire
At the various training sites, propane and natural gas are used
to fuel the fires. Because Dallas-Fort Worth has been designated by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a non-attainment area,
gasoline or wood-pallet fires, commonly used at training centers
elsewhere, were not an option for TCC.
Propane is used for the exterior fires and for the fuel spill fires
because of its high expansion ratio going from liquid to vapor. Natural
gas was available at the site and was used for the interior fires. The
computer-controlled systems create a safe, realistic, reliable and
repeatable fire training experience. The live-fITe training system was
designed by Symtron Systems Inc. of Fair Lawn, N.J., the 20-year
leader in the field. Although the smoke and flames are truly realistic,
they are environmentally inert, said Terry L. Haymond, director of
facilities development for Symtron Systems. If a firefighter encounters
difficulty, the system is equipped with emergency shut-off switches,
both in the control tower and on the ground, which will immediately
turn off the fITe.
Train for any Emergency
Along with fITe and swift-water training, the TCC project
offers confined-space training. On the west side of the complex is a
network of concrete trenches eight feet deep. In the trenches, rescue
workers can practice various rescue techniques, including storm-
sewer searches that require fITefighters to navigate their way through
24 and 30-inch ADS pipes. In the trench used to simulate gas-line and
waterline breaks, the sound of hissing gas is evident. By opening a
valve, the trench quickly fills with water. During some exercises,
simulated earth is loaded behind two six-foot tail sluice gates. When
the gates are opened firefighters experience the sensation and hazards
of a collapsing trench.
)
Near the confined space training area, rescue workers also
have an opportunity to practice fuel-fire response. On a 20 by 20-foot
concrete pad, liquid propane burners can create flames 40 to 50 feet
high. The fuel spill is adjacent to a railroad track complete with rail
cars on their sides. The track and rail cars were donated and installed
by Burlington Northern Sante Fe. In the future, a railroad tunnel will
be added to allow training in the rescue of a subway emergency.
Remote Sensing and Control
The various propane/natural gas systems are controlled by a
dedicated computer in the administration building computer room.
The computer continuously performs checks on the equipment to
ensure correct operation. In the event of an unsafe condition or
emergency, the computer immediately aborts the training scenario.
Flames are automatically extinguished, but smoke is evacuated and
interior temperatures are reduced.
J
The Symtron Systems life-frre training network includes
sensors in each building. They can be activated remotely from the
control center, where the intensity of the frre can be regulated. In fact,
sensors allow practically every aspect of the training exercises to be
controlled from the control room, including lights, water, gates, and
thermo-imaging cameras. The sensors even make it possible to print
readouts of how much time was required to extinguish frres.
Fast-Track Construction
Despite its complexity, TCC's training center was designed as
a fast-track project with only a l2-month schedule. Thanks to
reasonably good weather and acute coordination, the project moved
forward quickly.
Despite an $18 million outlay, TCC should be able to recoup
its initial $18 million investment in about 10 years, college officials
said. The college will market the center not only to Texas frre and
police departments, but public safety departments across the nation.
There's little doubt the need is there.

"Across the nation we are seeing fewer fires, but because of
petrochemicals and lightweight materials, the fires are hotter and more
dangerous," Abercrombie emphasized. "At the same time that higher
skills are required, training centers have basically disappeared because
of environmental concerns. Consequently, we're going to cover as
many bases as possible here and also allow for future growth by
adding extra conduit. In terms of technology, I'm not aware of any
center coming remotely close to what we offer. Our instructors even
have pocket controllers that allow them to start and stop fires in the
training buildings where they're teaching.
"Because this project involves so many nuances, coordination
was one of our leading challenges. But it has come together very well,
and amazingly fast," Abercrombie added. "We at TCC are
exceedingly proud of what we can offer the nation's public safety
professionals. There hasn't been anything like this, and therefore
there's been a tremendous void. We think we've gone a long way
toward filling that void. I believe lives are going to be saved because
ofthis project."

DENTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
Project Budget: $2,000,000
Project Overview: Designed and managed the implementation
of wide area network to service the Denton Independent School
District's 14,000+ users.
Involved in aspects of this project from design to implementation,
from presenting ideas and plans to the School Board to coordinat-
ing laying of Fiber Optic cable by the City of Denton, from design-
ing data centers to working band in hand with general Contractors.
From a technical standpoint, the network was based on a fiber
optic backbone that was coordinated and installed by the City of
Denton. The backbone was designed using multiple redundant
rings to ensure that the network would remain up in the case of
multiple failures in the integrity of the backbone. The electronics
were based on a Cisco switched platform. The server equipment
is all based centrally in a Data Center. Since the initial design and
implementation the District has been able to build on their invest-
ment by adding full motion video and all internal telephony ser-
vices to the network.

Estimating Methodology
Computerized Estimating Services (CES) will meet with Arhitect and their design team
to review the scope of work for each discipline at each of the three major design stages
including Schematic Design, Design Development and 95% Construction Documents.
CES will visit the proposed site after the initial design meeting and before beginning the
Schematic Design Estimate (taking digital pictures). During this site visit CES will make
notes of any special needs such as power, utilities, grading, storm drainage, traffic flow
and signs of any existing above and below the grade structures that may need to be
removed. These conditions will be researched with the design team and reflected in the
estimate.
The estimates will be in the CSI format at each of the three different design stages of the
project using Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet. The estimates include the summary sheet,
exclusions and clarifications, three-page itemized list of general conditions and the
associated pricing sheets. These estimates will be emailed as a draft copy to the Arhitect
for review. Any mutually-agreed changes to the estimate will be made as the final
estimate for each design stage and re-emailed to the Architect's office for distribution.
During the course of the estimating procedures, any questions of the scope of work will
be emailed to the A.rcpitect' s office as the single source of responsibility. The responses
to the questions from the design team will be incorporated into the estimate.
The pricing used in the estimate will reflect the local and current market conditions. The
pricing will not carry any hidden contingencies. The estimate will have a separate
exposed line for design contingency on the summary sheet. The amount of the design
contingency will reduce as the project progresses to completion. The summary sheets
after the initial Schematic Design Estimate will have two additional separate columns
entitled Previous Estimate and the second column entitled Difference so the changes in
the estimate can be tracked.
CES will work together as a part of the design team to bring the project to a successful
completion.
