RE: HP Modular Building Minor Amendment
Dear Ted, BHA DESIGN, INC.
4803 INNOVATION DRIVE
Thank you for your cooperative review of the HP Modular Buildings project. We F T. C O L L I N$, CO 805 2 5
have made changes to the plans based on your comment letter dated December 22, T E L 970 2 2 3.7 5 > >
1997. Additional clarifications are outlined below: FAX 970 2 2 3-, B 2

3. The sidewalk on the north side of the proposed modular buildings
is shown on the plan as an extension of the existing sidewalk from
the southwest entrance to Building 1. This ties the modulars to the
existing campus walkway system, and will provide direct
pedestrian access from Building 1 to the modular buildings without
crossing parking or drive aisles.
4. Hewlett-Packard has indicated they do not wish a vehicular
connection in this area. The campus has been developed with a
continuous outer loop road to facilitate traffic movement to various
parts of the campus. The vehicular circulation within the interior of
the site is intentionally discontinuous to force traffic movements to
the loop road. This configuration allows access to parking areas,
service areas, and necessary fire protection areas near the buildings
while maintaining pedestrian access as a priority in the interior
campus.
7. The accessible route of travel has been indicated on the site plan.
All proposed buildings will be equipped with an automatic fire
suppresion system.

10. The proposed modular buildings are intended to replace the
existing modulars, not to be built as additional square footage.
There will be some overlap in the timing of the construction of the
new buildings and the removal of the old buildings in order to
allow for the movement of personnel and equipment from existing
modulars to the proposed modulars. Based on construction
schedules, the existing modular buildings will be removed shortly
after the occupancy of the new mods in Spring of 1998.
You may also wish to know that the Building 4 Fab project is now
considering the feasibility of using all or part of Mod 2 ( the
westernmost existing modular) as its construction trailer area. If
this is desired by the Building 4 project team, it will be formally
requested to you as part of the submittal for that project later this
month.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
