Design Development
<br />Design development drawings, outline specifications, and preliminary engineering calculations and analysis will
<br />be performed for all major disciplines. Drawings will reflect architectural, interiors, civil, landscape architectural,
<br />structural, electrical 1 mechanical, and specialty design components. Detailed development of project
<br />components will occur. Construction materials, methodologies, major products and materials, and required
<br />equipment will also be determined.
<br />Design development concepts will be prepared and defined based upon function, security, permanency, quality,
<br />and cost. Structural design studies will be completed to primarily assess the best structural concepts for the
<br />facility. The mechanical system design will be developed based upon zoning requirements, capacities, and
<br />program criteria. Power services, lighting, telephone, communications, etc. will be identified and reviewed.
<br />An outline set of specifications and a preliminary draft of the final project manual will be created including
<br />bidding and contract requirements, general conditions, and all division one requirements. A second estimate
<br />of construction costs will be developed. Wherever possible, based upon the amount of detail available,
<br />area and material take -offs will be prepared with estimates of labor, overhead 1 profit, and general condition
<br />requirements.
<br />Construction Documentation
<br />Based upon the results of previous reviews, the final design of the project will be coordinated with the
<br />stakeholders. Design development documents will be revised and refined accordingly. The design team will
<br />prepare all final construction documents, drawings, and supporting calculations. All engineering systems design
<br />will be finalized and completed. A final interiors color and material presentation board will be prepared and
<br />submitted for review and approval. The design team will coordinate and check documents. The design team
<br />will prepare and coordinate the construction contract contents of the project manual including the technical
<br />specifications, bidding package, general conditions, and division one requirements.
<br />Updated estimates of construction costs will be prepared during this phase. The final construction documents,
<br />project manual, supporting calculations, and final cost estimate will be presented to the City for final review
<br />and approval. Construction documents will be submitted to the local jurisdictions for plan check and permit
<br />approval. The design team will make all necessary revisions and corrections consistent with all agency reviews
<br />and will obtain final approvals from all governing authorities in order to secure final plan check approval.
<br />Bidding Phase
<br />Contract documents and bidding requirements will be assembled and incorporated into the project manual.
<br />The design team will assist the project committee in the modification of certain parts as may be required by
<br />construction manager review pertaining to the instructions to bidders and agreements for construction. The
<br />design team will coordinate distribution to contractors, assistance with a construction pre -bid conference, and
<br />availability to answer bidder's questions during the bidding phase. Any necessary addenda will be prepared,
<br />and our design team will assist the City in evaluating all of the bids and the related bidder's qualifications. The
<br />design team will make recommendations to the project coordinator for award of the construction contract.
<br />Construction Administration
<br />Our design team will provide construction observation on a scheduled basis to observe the progress of
<br />construction, quality of work, and to determine if general compliance with drawings and specifications is being
<br />achieved. Our design team will advise the City of any deficiencies observed in the work during construction.
<br />Both an administrative and physical review of the status of the project will be conducted. We will review and
<br />prepare meeting minutes, make recommendations, prepare and process field revisions and clarifications,
<br />construction changes authorizations, and any necessary change orders. The design team will review shop
<br />drawings, testing and inspection reports, and product 1 material samples submitted by the contractor. We will
<br />monitor the status of construction in order to review and process the contractor's application for payment on a
<br />monthly basis.
<br />SVA will review and monitor the construction schedule as required. Specific attention will be given to major
<br />phases and events related to determination of overall critical path. Specific job site reviews will be conducted
<br />in order to determine the point of substantial and final completion. A detailed punch list will be created for each
<br />space, building component, or site element in a detailed manner by the design team and submitted to the
<br />contractor for correction and completion. At the time of final completion, the design team will conduct a final job
<br />site review. 2 5 G -243
