HGBD has provided full design services to the Veterans Council of Chatham County, Georgia for surveying, civil, structural and landscape design for the new World War II Memorial. The new sculpture, engraved granite commemorative walls, paving and landscaping is being constructed on River Street in Savannah Georgia in the summer of 2010. The project was designed in collaboration with the Architect, Eric Meyerhoff and is being funded with private donations, grants and construction funding assistance by the City of Savannah Georgia. The memorial will be maintained by the City of Savannah Department of Parks and Trees. HGBD was the first Engineering and Architecture firm to complete a BIM design on a Savannah District project (Trainee Barracks Complex 3, Dining Facility, at Ft. Benning, GA). We are up and running with BIM and are in a position to assist the Savannah District as a leader in this new wave of technology which is destined to be the standard operating procedure of the future. The Savannah District Bentley BIM Coordinator, Trey Atkins, is very familiar with HGBD's leading edge knowledge of Bentley BIM. HGBD is thoroughly familiar with the typical RFP Attachment F requirements and how to implement these requirements into a project. The project consists of a 30, 500 gross square foot functional dining facility. The facility is similar to a colleg or university cafeteria in general function and quality providing receiving, storage, preparation, serving, queuing, dining, dishwashing, and equipment needed for appropriate food service and eating activities. The project provides a 544-seat dining facility, feeds 1, 300 trainee soldiers per meal within 90 minutes, serves as a gathering space for group activities, and accommodates 104 staff members (57 max./shift). The scale and proportion of the exterior design relate to similar Fort Benning structures and future facilities proposed for the Harmony Church area. The masonry lower levels and upper-level EIFS accents above, and a standing seam metal roofs, provide for an easily maintained exterior while projecting an image consistent with Fort Benning standards. This is a design/build project presently in the Phase II evaluation stage. The project consists of a centralized education and training facility for the Army Continuing Education System (ACES). It consists of a two story masonry education building with approximately 36, 250 SF on each floor. The building is constructed using a standing seam metal roof, concrete floors, steel stud/gypsum board interior wall system, a non-load bearing steel stud brick veneer exterior wall system. Generally, interior finishes are painted gypsum and CMU walls, suspended ceilings, and carpet and vinyl floors. The building has state-of-the-art communications technology; fiber optic cable, satellite receiving and transmitting, interactive television programming, modems and interaction between universities, colleges and Fort Stewart Education Center computer systems. The building has large state-of-the-art classrooms with computer capability for every student, testing rooms, science laboratories, and a "college mall" area, plus an auditorium/theatre. Supporting facilities include utilities, electric service, exterior lighting, fire protection and alarm systems, paving, walk ways, curbs and gutters, parking, storm drainage, information systems, and site improvements. Heating and air conditioning (270 tons) for the Education Center is provided by a self-contained unit. Anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP) measures have been included in the project in accordance with the "DOD Anti-terrorism building standards". As part of the development of a marine terminal the Savannah Electrical & Power Company's Plant Kraft facility, HGBD performed permitting, hydrographic & topographic survey, dredging design construction management and profile verification services. The scope of work also included the design and construction management of grout mat slope pro
