Good
morning,
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
to
give
you
some
information
about
the
RFQ
process
that
we're
utilizing.
The
the
city
of
Chattanooga
already
has
a
blanket
contract
that
we
have
issued,
which
has
pre-qualified
Architects
on
it.
There
are
seven
pre-qualified
Architects
on
that,
and
we
this
is
the
process
we're
using
for
the
ballpark
is
similar
to
a
process
that
we've
done
on
other
projects
where
we
write
up
what
the
the
requirements
would
be
for
the
project
and
for
the
specifically
from
The
Architects
themselves.
G
What
services
we
need
them
to
deliver
and
we
provide
that
information
to
all
seven
of
them
and
we're
asking
for
them
to
provide
that
information
back
to
us.
We
anticipate
getting
responses
back
from
interested
firms,
we've
given
them
the
schedule
so
that
they
understand
what
kind
of
timeline
they
would
need
to
meet.
G
Some
interviews
with
the
shortlisted
Architects,
depending
on
how
close
the
evaluations
are,
but
we'll
work
through
that.
Once
we
see
what
those
packages
look
like
on
May
1st,
but
at
this
time
we
we
still
anticipate
that
we're
we're
on
schedule
and
and
we've
provided
that
information
to
each
of
the
Architects.
So
they
understand
what
would
be
expected
of
them.
If
you
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
if
you
have
them.
H
G
All
of
them
have
Offices
here.
A
couple
of
them
do
also
have
some
larger
offices
outside
outside
of
this
this
specific
area,
but
they
all
are
local
Architects
that
do
work
regularly
votes
for
Chattanooga,
Hamilton
County,
as
well
as
a
lot
of
private
work
as
well.
So
they're,
they're,
well
known
and
well
versed
in
in
our
community.
G
Working
working
in
conjunction
with
with
the
folks
at
New,
City
properties,
and
so
as
with
the
Lookouts,
as
well
as
with
perimeter
properties,
to
find
that
to
find
that
best
location.
That's
the
information
that
Jim
Irwin
is
going
to
share
okay
momentarily
on
where
that
is,
but
the
all
of
that
was
based
on.
What's
the
available
distance
and
what
are
the
elements
on
the
site
that
needed
to
that
were
desired
to
remain
and
how
did
those
best
fit
in
with
the
stadium
sighting,
but
I'll?
Let
Jim
speak.
I
I
E
F
J
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
I'm,
really
honored
to
be
here
and,
and
most
importantly,
just
incredibly
excited
to
give
you
this
update.
A
lot
has
been
going
on
behind
the
scenes
to
be
at
a
position
where
we
can
provide
this
update
for
you
and
and
I
I
love.
The
question
that
you
asked,
because
a
lot
of
the
work
that
that
we've
been
doing
is
in
service
of
facilitating
that
donation
agreement.
J
So
you've
got
the
Riverwalk.
Obviously,
that's
coming
through
the
area
and
what
we
tried
to
do
is
is
create
a
situation
where
we
can
really
celebrate
the
power
of
the
Riverwalk
and
and
not
just
have
it
be
a
thin
trail
that
sort
of
skirts
around
the
stadium.
But
how
can
we
actually
integrate
the
stadium
and
all
of
the
infrastructure
and
make
it
a
public
amenity
year-round?
That's
that's
really
the
ultimate
goal.
This
is
not
just
about
baseball.
J
This
is
about
creating
an
asset
for
the
entire
city,
and
so
now
this
this
is
sort
of
a
sketch
to
kind
of
illustrate
what
we
mean
by
that
and
and
then
in
addition
to
making
this
a
place,
that
you
can
bike
and
Jog
and
run
and
walk
into
a
game
or
to
a
concert.
Obviously,
we've
also
thought
about
sort
of
vehicular
Ingress
egress.
How
do
you
get
2500,
2600
cars?
You
know
quickly
in
and
out.
You
know
that
don't
sort
of
you
know
interrupt
the
rest
of
the
the
neighborhood
and
the
district.
J
So
really
this
slide
it.
It
seems
like
kind
of
a
jumbled
mess,
but
when
I
saw
this
slide
for
the
first
time
when,
when
we
worked
with
our
Master
planners,
this
to
me
is
like
when
the
clouds
parted
and
the
beam
Shone
down
and
I
knew
that
this
was
going
to
be
a
great
project,
because
we
came
up
with
this
sort
of
Ring
Road
concept,
that
sort
of
Builds
on
the
existing
infrastructure,
the
existing
Transportation
network
in
the
immediate
area.
And
how
do
you?
How
do
you
quickly
service
a
ballpark?
J
How
do
you
also
sort
of
get
access
to
and
really
unlock
the
developable
parts
of
the
property
in
a
way?
That's
organized
in
a
way,
that's
thoughtful,
and
also,
if
you
see
the
sort
of
yellow
and
orange
lines
running
through
the
middle,
that
also
really
venerate
The
Pedestrian,
venerate,
The,
Walker,
venerate,
Green
Space,
and
really
celebrate
and
encourage
that
type
of
of
commuting
and
and
that
this
all
sort
of
organizes
it
in
a
really
important
way.
J
We
basically
would
have
had
to
take
down
major
major
portions
of
some
of
the
most
special
buildings
in
the
project
and
we're
also
looking
at
access
parking,
which
we
can
talk
about
in
a
second
and
and
basically
all
those
things,
and
it
would
have
had
to
pretty
significantly
compromise
this
idea
with
the
Riverwalk
connectivity.
So,
ultimately,
this
location
in
the
site
made
the
most
sense
when
we
sort
of
layered
all
those
things
together
and
one
of
the
most
exciting
things
about
this
is
is
the
two
buildings
that
will
really
be
incorporated
into.
J
The
stadium
include
one
building
that
the
partners
have
called
for
many
many
years.
The
pattern
shop
which
which
will
actually
have
fan
seating
inside
the
bones
of
this
of
this
beautiful
historic
structure
and
also
the
PowerHouse
which
is
sort
of
in
the
corner
of
right
field,
and
that's
that's
a
building
that
originally
supplied
all
the
generation
of
power
for
for
the
entire
property.
But
now
we
can
actually
turn
that
into
kind
of
terrorist
sperm
seating
and
also
some
you
know
really
that
will
become
like
the
front
door
of
the
whole
project.
J
J
The
other
thing
that
this
early
work
has
allowed
us
to
do
is
generate
the
RFQ
that
that
bill
mentioned
a
few
minutes
ago,
so
so
now
that
now
that
we
actually
have
a
clear
concept
for
moving
forward.
This
is
what
we've
been
able
to.
Basically,
you
know
hand
you
know
or
just
distribute
in
the
RFQ,
so
that
the
Architects
can
can
actually
see
what
their
what
their
work
would
entail
and
Reverend
one
thing
that
we're
I
love
your
question
about
local
Architects,
one
one.
J
One
thing
that
is
really
important
and
a
very
specific
strategy
of
art
is,
is
that
by
using
these
or
Specialists
early
on
our
goal
is
that
the
vast
majority
of
the
work
and
the
proceeds
that
you
know
that
will
go
to
to
spend
on
architectural
dollars
will
go
directly
into
the
Chattanooga
Community?
But
that's
that's
a
very
explicit
goal
that
did
not
go
to
National
Architects
elsewhere,
but
but
you
know,
the
vast
majority
of
this
basically
gets
recycled
back
into
the
community
I'm.
J
Trying
to
think
of
anything
else,
I
can
tell
you
the
the
the
hatched
line
here.
This
is
where
we've
needed
to
get
in
order
to
create
the
meets
and
balance
surveys,
and
so
so
we're
now
sort
of
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
going
to
be.
You
know
we
sort
of
have
have
the
final
location.
Now
we're
going
to
be
really
kind
of
dialing
it
down
into
the
engine
so
that
our
surveyors
can
can
get
to
work,
creating
the
meets
and
Bounds
and
all
the
things
that
are
necessary
to
complete
that
donation.
Agreement.
J
Foreign,
yes,
so
the
stadium,
if
you,
if
you
look
to
the
left
of
the
page,
where
that,
where
that
sort
of
white
boxes,
that's
that's
where
it
would.
That's
that's
the
previous
location
that
we
thought
might
work,
but
the
in
The
Foundry
building
as
you
as
you
see,
sort
of
that
long,
rectilinear
building
with
the
long
lines.
J
That's
that's
the
the
previous
location,
but
you
can
see
when
we,
when
we
really
got
into
the
weeds
and
loaded
in
those
requirements
for
field
measurements
and
distances
and
making
it
not
just
about
baseball
but
also
for
concerts
loading.
You
know
soccer
et
cetera
this.
This
ultimately
made
the
most
sense,
and
one
thing
that's
really
exciting
about
this
is
if
you're
sitting
in
the
Outfield,
if
you
can
imagine,
looking
South
and
and
of
course,
it
needs
to
be
said
too,
that
the
sight
lines
like
this
is.
J
This
is
exactly
dialed
in
so
that
so
that
the
sun
won't
be
in
batter's
eyes
and
and
all
the
things
that
that
are
concerned
about
the
current
the
existing
facility.
But
if
you're
sitting
in
the
Outfield,
looking
South
towards
towards
the
first
Baseline
you'll
you'll,
be
looking
at
fans
and
again,
there's
two
beautiful
structures:
you'll
see
the
other
structures
behind
it
and
then
the
lookout
Mountains
will
be
in
the
distance
with
the
sun
setting
over.
So
it's
a
pretty
it's
a
pretty
dramatic
setting.
J
Another
thing,
that's
interesting
and
and
I
think
if
you
think
about
kind
of
the
the
view
from
24
right
now,
what
you're?
What
will?
What
we'll
have
here
you
know
facing
the
highway
is,
is
a
new
construction,
so
the
building
in
the
right
field
or
in
the
third
base
line,
is
new
construction
and
that
we
intend
to
build.
You
know
a
really
dramatic
kind
of
front
door,
welcome
to
Chattanooga
and
you
think
of
like
signage
and
art,
going
on
the
back
of
that
building
facing
the
highway
it.
J
J
This
is
this
is
a
photo
I
took
with
my
phone
a
few
days
ago,
and
this
is
where
some
of
that
fan
seating
would
be,
but
we
would
preserve
all
the
steel
trust
structures
and
then
and
then
actually
turn
some
of
those
old
shop
Windows
of
Steel
windows
on
the
left
into
doors
where
there
would
be
sort
of
indoor
outdoor
seating
for
fans.
It's
a
two-floor
building
the
lower
floors.
We
believe
that
kind
of
a
open
food
Hall
with
with
several
different
options.
J
You
know
both
for
games,
but
also
that
think
of
things
that
could
be
open
year
round.
You
know
where
you
have
the
the
Riverwalk
coming
through,
and
you
know
I
also.
Another
idea
that
we've
had
here
is,
instead
of,
if
you
think,
about
a
traditional
Stadium
around
the
country,
this
sort
of
become
these
sort
of
Steel
fortresses
coming
up
out
of
the
ground.
J
Instead,
what
our
objective
is
here
is
to
actually
excavate
and
put
the
field
somewhere
between
14
and
20
feet
below
the
existing
grade
and
the
objective
there
is
that
the
that
the
Concourse
stays
at
the
same
level
of
the
Riverwalk,
and
so
when,
when
games
aren't
going
on
that,
Concourse
becomes
a
jogging.
Trail
becomes
part
of
the
fabric
of
the
Riverwalk
so
that
it's
not
like
you're
you're
sort
of
going
into
a
stadium.
Instead,
the
stadium
opens
out
and
it
becomes
this
public
asset
for
everyone.
J
So
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
really,
really
exciting
plan
that
we've
been
working
on
and
I'm
thrilled
to
get
a
chance
to
show
it
to
you.
This
is
a
kind
of
a
revised
rendering
that
that
our
team
came
up
with
with
the
new
sighting,
and
you
can
see
the
pattern.
Shop
is
sort
of
Illustrated
in
the
lower
left,
The,
Foundry
building
and
the
and
the
powerhouse,
and
then
the
Riverwalk
Illustrated
kind
of
going
that
creating
that
green
space
through
the
middle
of
the
site.
J
J
Are
the
earnest
Master
planning
of
the
entire
120
Acre
Site
and
we've
been
working
on
on
citing
the
the
ballpark
and
new
city
has
also
begun
the
process
of
of
spending
architectural
dollars
on
private
sector
investment
as
well?
So
we,
the
the
buildings
in
the
background,
represent
potentially
a
pretty
significant
multi-family
project,
as
well
as
an
office
and
sort
of
mixed
use,
office,
retail
structure
as
well,
so
so
we're
we're
excited
and
our
and
our
objective
is
to
just
continue
to
work
on
all
of
it
in
parallel.
At
the
same
time.
J
The
pattern
shop,
the
the
photo
I
I
shared
a
second
ago
is-
is
the
sort
of
Orange
yellow
building
kind
of
in
the
lower
left.
It
has
those
two
sort
of
cupola
Roots
right.
Okay,
that's
what
I
thought
and
then
the
PowerHouse
is
the
one.
That's
immediately
behind
the
flags
that
this
sort
of
a
light
blue
color.
H
A
J
J
J
C
J
D
Yeah,
the
seating
capacity
on
the
more
modern
ballparks
is
a
little
bit
more
fluid
than
it
is
on.
Like
an
ATT
field,
we
know
exactly
how
many
people
we
can
fit,
because
there
are
a
certain
number
of
fixed
seats
and
then
you
can
measure
those
benches.
We
have
on
the
upper
levels
and
say:
okay.
This
is
how
many
people
we
can
fit
there,
the
new
ballparks,
it's
the
same
thing
for
Arenas
football
stadiums.
Any
of
that
there's
much
more.
D
D
That
being
said,
you
know,
we've
put
nearly
10
000
people
in
various
times,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
these
Flex
spaces
where
people
can
stand
or
find
in.
You
know
in
an
unreserved
seat,
or
things
like
that,
so
the
idea
is
to
make
it
so
that
it
it
feels
full
at
five
thousand,
but
that
it
can
accommodate
eight
nine,
maybe
even
ten
thousand,
depending
on
how
all
that
plays
out.
Okay.
H
J
J
J
You
know
the
River
Walk
effectively
becomes
the
way
that
they
would
move
from
their
cars
into
the
stadium,
but
then
the
first,
the
first
project
that
we're
planning
you
know
the
private
sector
project
that
we're
planning.
You
know
with
that
office
and
multi-family
that
would
have
structured
parking
is
part
of
it.
That
would
be
usable
for
the
stadium.
So
we're
we're
very
very
early
in
in
figuring
that
out,
but
but
that's
the
that's
the
general
plan.
Thank.
C
J
Stadium,
so
so
we
new
city
has
has
three
three
distinct
roles.
If
that
makes
sense,
one
one
role
is:
is
managing
the
master
planning
of
the
overall
site,
and
that's
that's
that's
where
what
we
work
for
for
Mr
Chase
and
his
Partners
part
of
that
role
will
entail
coming
up
with
a
broad
plan,
really
usage
strategy
for
the
entire
120
Acres.
You
know.
So
what
we'll
do
is
come
up
with
you
know
this
is
you
know
this
part
of
the
site
is
where
we
believe
multi-family
housing
belongs.
J
This
is
a
good
commercial
site,
residential
retail
Hospitality
hotels,
whatever
whatever
that
may
be,
and
and
we're
doing
that
right
now.
That
would
culminate
in
a
rezoning
effort
which
we
anticipate
beginning
in
the
coming
months
and
that
that
will
involve
you
know,
planning.
As
we've
shown
you,
you
know
the
sort
of
public
infrastructure
aspects
of
it
and,
and
then
you
know
from
there
after
rezoning,
that's
when
we
would
begin
you
know
specifically
investing
in
in
certain
specific
opportunities.
J
The
second
role
is,
is
wearing
our
you
know,
day-to-day
private
sector,
development
hat,
and
so
a
portion
of
these
properties
that
we
will
be
moving
forward
with,
will
then
turn
and
actually
purchase
property
from
from
the
owners
to
begin
vertical
construction
projects
which
include,
for
instance,
these.
You
know
these.
We
hope,
for
you,
know
these
two
projects
to
to
kick
off
and
then
and
then
the
third
role
will
be
as
a
as
a
consultant
to
to
you.
E
J
So
if,
if
I'll,
actually
the
next
slide,
I
think
will
help.
So
if
you,
if
you
look
they're
they're
sort
of
the
two
buildings
that
sort
of
are
right
in
the
Riverwalk,
if
you,
if
you
sort
of
go
directly
north,
where
the,
where
the,
where
the
black
hatch
line
jogs
a
bit,
that
that's
what
we
call
the
PowerHouse
and
that's
that's!
That's
where
an
an
obvious
location
for
the
for
the
public
entrance
would.
E
J
The
the
before
before
I
I,
answer
that
question
what
I
would
what
I
would
suggest
is
that,
as
as
part
of
the
effort
that
the
Architects
will
be
doing
coming
up
is
a
is
a
very
sophisticated
traffic
study.
They'll,
be
we'll
include
a
traffic
impact
analysis
in
the
in
the
design,
so
this
is
just
a
very
early
concept
to
show
that
we're
thinking
about
it
and
I
think
we're
encouraged
about
how
how
everything
can
be
organized
in
a
way
that
will
minimize
that
impact.
J
But
but
you
can
see
you
know,
Broad
Street
obviously,
is
the
main
sort
of
north-south
thoroughfare.
And
then
you
have
you
know
multiple.
You
know
East-West
options
between
25th
and
28th,
but
then
Chestnut
Street
becomes
an
important
artery
as
well
right
now
it's
it's!
It's
not
that,
frankly,
you
know
it's
just
because
the
site's
so
contained,
but
but
part
of
part
of
an
early
idea
would
be
to
create
a
new
29th
Street
to
kind
of
Link,
all
those
properties
together
from
Sydney
and
Chestnut.
J
So
again,
the
idea
the
analogy
I
like
to
use
when
we're
talking
about
traffic
is
with
the
the
when
you,
when
you
do
a
traffic
impact
analysis.
The
way
to
think
about
it
is
like
imagine
having
a
bag
of
marbles
and,
and
you
put
them
on
top
of
a
master
plan
and
you
and
you
drop
the
marbles
and
if
they
all
go
to
one
place,
that's
bad!
J
That
means
you
that's
congestion,
that's,
but,
but
if
you
create
sort
of
an
infrastructure
Network
where
you
drop
this
Marbles
and
they
sort
of
spread
evenly
throughout
the
site,
that's
that
means
it's
been
successful.
If
that
makes
sense,
and
so
there's
they,
they
use
sophisticated
computer
algorithms
to
sort
of
drop
marbles
on
the
on
a
plate
and
and
and
they
study
how
how
that
impact
works,
and
so
we
we
think
we
think
we're
on
on
the
right
track.
J
J
Parking
garage-
that's
that's
exactly
what
we're
talking
about,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
the
the
the
stadium
can
be
serviced
without
any
without
any
private
sector
development
at
all,
I
mean
that's.
You
know
that
that's
that's
sort
of
the
the
one
side
of
the
scenario
that
to
make
sure
that
there's
not
a
there's
you
you
have
a
city
asset,
a
county
asset
that
is,
is
somehow
functionally
difficult,
but
then
the
good
news
is
that
you
know
we
would
build
at
private
sector
costs.
J
I
Do
you
have
a
ring
Road,
it
looks
like
you're
going
around
29th,
Street
and
26th
Street.
Is
that
where
the
the
ring
will
go
around
the
stadium?
Is
that
what
it
looks
like
and
then
Chestnut
Street
would
also
be
motorist
coming
from
that
direction,
and
would
that
be
the
only
three
that
would
be
roads
coming
into
the
area
again.
J
So
you've
got
you
know:
28
27th,
Sydney,
26th,
25th,
Chestnut
and
and
again
I
I
would
just
I
would
say
this
is
still
super
early
right
and
but
but
we'll
we'll.
We've
studied
probably
dozens
of
different
permutations
of
this
and
and
as
part
of
bringing
on
the
the
local
architecture
team.
You
know
that
will
include
you,
know
civil
engineering
and
traffic
study
and
really
kind
of
perfecting
this
model.
So.
I
Yes,
sir,
just
just
trying
to
figure
out
where
emergency
vehicles
could
get
in
I
deal
with
that.
A
lot
on
that
end
of
it
here,
but
it
looks
like
Chestnut
Street,
would
be
going
into
the
area
and
then
29th
and
26th
Street
at
least
go
all
the
way
around
the
area
and
then
beyond
that
you're
talking
about
pedestrian
travel
along
the
Tennessee
Riverwalk
areas.
That
would
be
going
right
right
next
to
the
stadium.
Yes,
sir,
okay.
E
J
For
this,
oh,
that's
exactly
it,
the
the
if
you,
if
you
the
obviously
they're
noticeable
differences,
I
I,
almost
I
I.
My
bias
personally
I'll
reveal
that
is
towards
minor
league
experiences
like
this,
because
the
scale
is
so
much
more
intimate.
You
know.
The
battery,
though,
is
a
great
example
of
how
how
the
Braves
have
have
really
activated
the
area.
J
So
it's
not
just
about
baseball,
but
the
batteries,
obviously
a
very
popular
destination
in
Atlanta,
year-round
and
and
games
start
hours
and
hours
before
great
restaurants,
places
to
go
see,
as
you
mentioned,
and
then
and
then
it
kind
of
keeps
going
afterwards
and
to
me
the
the
idea
of
the
Riverwalk
The
Foundry,
building
that
you
know
just
activating
this
whole
area
to
kind
of
create
that
kind
of
District
feeling
that
is.
That
is
exactly
what
we're.
J
J
F
Do
so
the
city
has
been
in
communication
with
the
county
because,
as
you
all
know,
that
the
the
two
vacancies
that
need
to
be
filled
on
the
Sports
Authority
board
need
to
have
confirmation
and
approval
from
both
the
city
and
the
county.
And
so
we
have
been
in
conversation,
and
we
anticipate
that
we
should
have
two
board
members
that
will
meet
with
both
the
cities
and
counties
approval
within
the
next
few
weeks.
