Indefinite Quantity Contract
Division of the State Architect (DSA)
Novato, CA
Interactive Resources provided various architecture, engineering and design projects under this ongoing contract, including:

California Highway Patrol Stations: We performed a life-cycle cost analysis and value engineering study of ten CHP stations from Yreka to Merced to identify energy conservation measures.  Modifications were ranked according to cost-effectiveness and included mechanical equipment repairs, roof and wall insulation, Trombe walls, insulated skylights and solar water heating.

Department of Motor Vehicles, Santa Rosa: Interactive Resources prepared architectural plans for the repair of roofing problems.

Agnew State Hospital, San Jose: Interactive Resources was hired by the DSA to complete a survey of seventeen buildings to identify accessibility features not in compliance with Title 24 of the California Administrative Code, and design an architectural barrier removal program for the buildings.  Services provided by the firm included field visits to survey the facility and review of architectural drawings to identify deficiencies and non-compliant features, design development of scale drawings of needed improvements, and development of outline specifications and cost estimates for the repairs.  Improvements were designed to remove architectural barriers or provide "equivalent facilitation" for the hospital.
