Existing and New Facilities integration.
DESIGN SERVICES
-
The Design Services will be in two phases. The first will be Schematic Design Services and the second will be Design Development Services.
-
The Schematic Design documents will consist of drawings and other documents illustrating the general scope, scale, and relative relationship of the Projects components for approval by the Client. Designs will be conceptual in character and based on the requirements developed unde previous phases including program requirements.
Design Development Services consist of drawings and other documents to fix and describe the size and character of the entire project. This includes all architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and special systems, materials and such other elements as may be appropriate. Consideration shall be given to availability of materials, equipment and labor, construction sequencing and scheduling, economic analysis of construction and operations user safety and maintenance requirements, and energy conservation.

In the Construction Document Phase all necessary drawings, specifications, and other documentation will be developed based on and from previous owner approved phases of the work. Elements which are part of the Construction Documents consist of Drawings, Specifications, Bidding and Construction Contracts for the construction of the Project.
The design of landscaping, interior design, and furniture selection would be included in this phase of the work as an additional service and not as part of the basic scope of the work unless so stated in the contract.
CONSTRUCTION FIELD OBSERVATION
Construction Field Observation will consist of visit to the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction to become generally familiar with theprogress and quality of the Work and to determine in general if the Work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents, and preparing related reports and communications.
PROJECT CLOSEOUT
A detailed inspection with the Owner's representative for
