SCOPE OF WORK Our Team has completed Preliminary Design and Conceptual Design (Tasks 1 and 2), Design Development (Task 3), Construction Documents (Task 4) and Permitting (portion of Task 5.1) to date. See the original 12/2016 Agreement for a description of these work phases. CLR will provide Bidding and Construction Administration phase services for the project described above including architecture; landscape architecture; exhibit design; caging design; and coordination of structural engineering; MEP engineering; civil, and life support system engineering. TASK 5.1: Bidding The key Design Team members will participate in a pre -bid meeting(s) as necessary in order to present the project to bidders and answer questions. We feel that it is critical with the uniqueness of zoo projects such as this, that we participate in giving bidding contractors the "big picture" as well as answer detailed questions. The Design Team will also be available by telephone/web-based meeting during the bid process to answer questions. Key Tasks: • Participate in pre -bid walk-thru and interview contractors as needed • Review and respond to contractor RFI's during the bid period • Issue clarifications to the Bid Documents/Addendum if necessary, for both contractors and City Agencies as part of the permitting process • Review Substitution Requests submitted by the contractors • Assist with analysis of construction bids and participate with the Zoo/CM to make final recommendations TASK 5.2: Construction Administration The unique nature of zoo facilities and construction requires the experienced involvement of CLR as well as the day to day availability of our local engineering firms. It is anticipated that CLR will attend approximately one meeting per month on -site at critical stages during construction. The CLR Team will provide the necessary services outlined below.
