    preparing and collecting detailed technical, spatial, and programmatic requirements for

    interior and exterior facility spaces, including architectural, engineering, FF&E and SOE

    needs; analyzing program functions, access/circulation, security; presentation of findings

    and recommendations; providing and evaluating spatial relationships of program elementswith block diagrams, stacking diagrams, circulation/space flow diagrams, adjacencydiagrams, space plans and other analyses prior to design.

    b.

    The Contractor shall review any additional programming documentation prepared by others

    for completeness and accuracy. Based on that review, the Contractor will itemize areas,

    elements or relationships that require further definition. The Contractor will brief the

    Engineer on these items and the Engineer will arrange for work sessions with the Employer

    and appropriate Operators or users to address the open issues.

    c. Prior to initiating each phase of design, the Contractor, the Engineer, and the Employer,

    and appropriate Operators should meet to review design program expectations and to

    exchange ideas, lessons-learned, and concerns. Such technical partnering sessions allow

    a clearer definition of expectations while remaining within the Projects scope and theAccepted Contract Amount.

    5.

    Schematic Design: If required, the Contractor shall prepare architectural and engineeringresponses to the project's program. These studies shall describe organizational concepts, themes,

    and/or the architectural parti, as well as major building or engineering systems concepts. Once

    the Engineer selects a design direction in which to proceed, the Contractor shall prepare designs

    that illustrate the general scope and the relationship between the various Zone(s) of the Project.

    Drawings shall be schematic in character, based on the programmatic and conceptual requirements

    developed and agreed upon by the Engineer. In general, this submission shall consist of drawings

    and sketches, a narrative report that addresses major site and building systems, gross and net area

    calculations, and a massing model (as appropriate). The Contractor shall provide a submissionthat will demonstrate compliance with the buildings program (space tabulation of buildings

    program) including all adjacency and functional requirements. This submission will also show that

    the proposed design is within the zoning area, and that the buildings and massing are compatible

    with the surroundings. The aesthetics should support the projects overall design theme. Buildings

    systems and buildings envelopes appropriate for the schematic designs should be defined in orderthat they can be evaluated early for effectiveness and efficiency related to operation, maintenance

    and energy consumption. See Design Deliverables below.

    6. Design Development: The Contractor shall prepare design development phase documents which

    reflect accurate existing conditions at the Project Site as well as proposed work identified in the

    schematic design phase. Design development documents should be a mock-up or outline of the

    working drawing set and are prepared at the scale(s) and sheet size needed for ContractorsDocuments. All schematic phase decisions and instructions approved by the Engineer during

    review shall be incorporated in the design development phase documents. All disciplines shall

    exhibit generally equivalent levels of completeness and coordination, and display approximately

    35% development of the information required for construction. The Contractor shall provide a set

    of submissions that will finalize the selection of all systems with respect to type, size and other

    material characteristics. Systems are not only structural, mechanical, fire protection and electrical,but include all other buildings components such as the buildings envelopes (wall, window and

    roof), interior construction (flooring, ceiling and partitions), service spaces, elevators, etc. The

    design submission will consist of a combination of drawings, narrative and calculations. Although

    a. Value Engineering (VE) is a process which identifies opportunities to remove

    unnecessary costs while assuring that quality, reliabilities, performance and other critical

    factors will meet or exceed the Employers Expectations.

    b. VE is a process that is somewhat continuous throughout the design but its greatestemphasis should be in the early stages of the design (schematic and design development).Initially it should focus on buildings systems and materials in a general sense during

    schematics. As the Design is developed the focus will shift to detailed aspects of the earlierdecisions during design development. Diagrams, narratives, and sketches with calculations

    to demonstrate the life-cycle cost effectiveness of the system should be prepared and

    received during this phase. This approach requires a diligent effort and commitment by all

    design team members early in the project to systems and materials that make sense

    economically and allow quality and durability.

    8. Construction Permit Documents: For each Zone(s) or parts thereof requiring a construction permit,

    the Contractor shall prepare and submit a set of permit documents in accordance with the

    concerned authorities requirements. The Contractor shall have all permit documents duly

    stamped and sealed by authorized architects and engineers of record in accordance with allstatutory requirements. The Contractor shall make all necessary revisions, arrangements, and

    follow-up until all construction permits have been obtained. The Contractor shall also translate all

    drawings and documents as required.

    9.

    Detailed Design Documents: The Contractor shall prepare a full set of Detailed Design

    Documents. A Detailed Design Set Submission is a complete submission of design documents and

    supporting materials that clearly demonstrate project design progress, adherence to project scope

    and design criteria, and coordination between disciplines. All disciplines shall exhibit equivalent

    levels of completeness. The Detailed Design Documents shall be complete in every Design

    aspect. Only very minor revisions should be required after review. All previous comments made

    by the Engineer shall be accounted for. The Contractor shall provide a set of detailed andcoordinated submissions to the Engineer, the Employer and Operators for review. The notes on

    these should result in a single interpretation of a specific set of data or facts. Detailed Design

    Documents should avoid using terms that the design specialist may know, but which have nothing

    to do with the purchase and installation of a product. Reviews may be both formal and informal

    (onboard). Language between specifications and notes on the drawings must be consistent andcomplementary. See Design Deliverables below.

    10. Final Design Documents: All prior submission documents shall be revised/corrected to incorporate

    the Engineers, Employers and Operators review comments and shall be resubmitted as final

    design documents. The final submission of documents shall include the following completed

    items:

    a. Final design drawings with professional seals and signatures of the registered architect(s)

    and engineer(s), which shall be the basis for Construction Drawings described under Sub-

    Clause 1.15.1 (Construction Drawings) of the Conditions of Contract.
