The scope of our services for the training will include: • Prepare and develop an eight (8) hour power point training program specifically for the City of Fort Collins. • Training program to be broken into eight (8), 1-hour segments or chapters covering the following subject matter (segment content subject to modification based on City review): o General Building Science Strategies o Why Implement an Air Barrier Requirement o Air Barrier Materials and Assemblies o Air Barrier Systems o Design of the Air Barrier System o Installation, QA and QC of the Air Barrier o Common Failure Points in Air Barriers o Whole Building Air Barrier Testing and Diagnostics Pie Forensic Consultants 2 of 6 j Air Barrier Code Adoption Consultation City of Fort Collins. CO • Conduct and present training program to City staff and industry professionals on two (2) separate occasions/dates. Proposal assumes each of the two (2) training programs will be a one day, eight hour training event. • Training venue, invitations, and other such logistics for the training seminar to be provided or handled by the City. Printing of the power point presentation slides into training manual handouts for attendees is also riot included in Pie's proposal pricing, but it is rather assumed that this will be handled by the City. 3.0 Qualifications Development for Testing Agencies Pie will assist the City in developing qualification criteria for firms or companies to ensure they are qualified and experienced in whole building air tightness testing and building envelope diagnostics. The scope of our services for the qualifications development will include: • Preparation and submission of a testing agency qualification form to the City for their review and comment. Conduct one meeting with the City to review the Pie provided draft qualification form. Meeting to be conducted at Pie's office in Arvada, CO.

These mock-up walls could be utilized as demonstrative exhibits during the training (scope item 2.0 above as well as for future use by the City). The scope of our services for the mock-up wall design and construction observations will include: • Preparation of two (2) mock-up wall designs •,illustrating commonly encountered transitions and details. First design to implement a fluid applied air barrier system with a low slope single ply type (TPO, EPDM, etc.) roof system. The second design to implement a mechanically attached air barrier system with a steep slope (asphalt shingle, standing seam metal, etc.) roofing system. • Each of the mock-up walls are to be designed no larger than 6 feet x 6 feet with coasters for portable transport. • Each mock-up design to include typical detailing such as roof -to -wall, foundation -to -wall, window, penetration, etc. details. Each mock-up design to also include material specifications and direction for all materials to be used in the construction of the mock-ups. • Construction of the mock-up walls is specifically excluded from Pie's scope of work. Pie has sub -contractor's it has worked with in the past to construct similar type mock-ups. If the City desires Pie to include construction of the mock-ups in our proposal, please notify us and we can provide a separate price for such. Pie Forensic Consultants - 3 of 6 Air Barrier code Adoption Consultation city of Fat Collins, CO Pie has included three (3) "on -site observations to a location (TBD) in Fort Collins to observe and consult on the construction of the mock-ups by a contractor independently retained by the City. No reports will be issued by Pie after our observations, rather verbal consultation will be provided to the entity constructing the mock-ups during our site observation. Mock-ups should be constructed concurrently to maximize the effectiveness of the three (3) Pie observations. 5.0 Field Guide Preparation Pie will assist the City in preparing a Phase I field guide that is intended to assist designers and contractors in designing and implementing good air barrier system practices. The intent of the Phase I field guide is generally to prepare a collection of standards, articles, papers, material manufacturer information and similar content. Eventually, the City would like to elevate the Phase I field guide to a Phase II type field guide that would be similar to the EEBA's Builder's Guide. The scope of our services for assisting the City in the development of the Phase I field guide will include: • Conduct a meeting with the City staff at Pie's office in Arvada, CO to prepare general outline of desired material and content. • Prepare a collection of air barrier related standards, papers, articles, studies, material manufacturer information and other similar content material to form the basis of the Phase I field guide. • Organization of the Phase I field guide materials in a methodical or orderly fashion. • All information collected and prepared by Pie will be provided to the City in electronic format. • This proposal does not include Pie consultation in development of the Phase II field guide. Should the City desire Pie's involvement in the Phase II guide, Pie can provide a cost estimate for such at a later date. 6.0 City Design Review and Inspection Mentoring Pie will assist the City plan reviewers and inspection staff as it relates to their specific roles and how the City's new adoption of a whole building air barrier requirement will specifically impact their responsibilities. The scope of our services for assisting the City in mentoring of the design reviewers and inspection staff will include: • Up to 40 total hours of design or site inspection consultation services. • Consultation services could be utilized at the City's discretion for tasks such as; specific City reviewer/inspector training classes, 3,d party design review with reports or post review meetings, 3,d party on -site observations in conjunction with City inspectors for on -site project training, etc. 7.0 Prototype Projects While the City's new whole building air tightness code requirement will reportedly not take effect until January 2012, Pie could assist the City in identifying and potentially implementing this requirement on one or more projects that may currently Pie Finansie Consultants - - 4 of 6 Air Barrier Code Adoption Consullalion City of Fon Collins, CO be in design or early enough in construction that the requirement and testing could be accomplished in the remaining 2011 calendar year. This would provide an opportunity for not only the City staff, but potentially a local designer and contractor to be exposed to the requirement prior to it going into effect. Pie believes this would be beneficial for not only the City staff, but also in the context that the designers and/or ,contractors that are involved in the prototype projects could provide a designer/contractor perspective during the training programs discussed in Section 2.0 above. The scope of our services for assisting the City in prototype projects could include some of the following: • A review of current City projects,designs and construction status to determine the best possible candidates • Attendance at meetings with the City and prototype designer's/contractor's for the projects to review the requirement, the existing design and any minor modifications that may be required to aid in meeting the requirement. • _ 3rd party review of the design drawings, details and specifications. • On -site quality assurance observations and reporting of the in -progress prototype projects. • Whole building air barrier testing and diagnostics of the prototype projects. The fee summary provided below is based on a time and expense (T&E) estimate per the attached Pie hourly billing rate sheet.
