1 . DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT PHASES <br /> Schematic Design: Produces site plan, floor plans and basic building elevations for the building <br /> design which illustrate the scale and the relationships,of the building spaces and components, as <br /> well as their location on the site. These are very preliminary in nature but are more detailed <br /> than the type documents produced during the Concept Study work we have done to date. They will <br /> show the building corridors, where the various rooms are located, their size, and possibly some <br /> of the furniture layouts. Preliminary building elevations and a cost estimate are also produced. <br /> Design Development: Refines the program and design to a greater degree of detail. Structural, <br /> mechanical, and electrical systems are selected, building materials and equipment are selected, <br /> and the final building size and appearance are determined. The products of this phase are more <br /> detailed and final-site plans and floor plans, final building elevations, and cost estimates. <br /> Construction Document: This phase is for translating the building design into the detailed plans <br /> and specifications required to bid and build the project. We continue to update the construction <br /> cost estimate as the final materials selections are made, systems designs are finalized; and <br /> details are developed:The products of this phase are the plans and specifications used for bidding <br /> and building the facility. <br /> Bidding: During this phase we assist with advertising for bids, issue the plans and specifications <br /> to the bidders, answer questions the bidders may have, assist with the opening and evaluation of <br /> the bids, and assist with the award and preparation of contracts. <br /> Construction: Services include periodic site observation to review the progress and quality of <br /> the work, assistance with the processing of payments to the contractors, prepare change orders, <br /> conduct periodic progress meetings. etc., and assist-with the closeout of the project. <br /> The above are described in more detail in the Form of Agreement sent last week. <br />
