Design/Architecture Requirements a. Prepare Outline Specifications with Project Description, general and regulatory requirements, preliminary building code, preliminary accessibility analysis, structural requirements, acoustical requirements, outline basic interior and exterior construction and materials, include preliminary elevator study, and include MEP outline specifications.
b. Prepare a geometry plan for the building;
c. Prepare all major plan elements of the building for all floors, with approximate accommodations for structure and MEP;
d. Develop Typical project functional components (i.e. a typical office or classroom plan); Components should be graphically correct and coordinated with structural and MEP. Representative dimensions shown and representative partitions tagged; Show schematic furniture layouts to confirm spatial and program requirements of space types;
e. Develop typical project components and core elements including elevators, stairs, and MEP risers, public toilet rooms. Components should be graphically correct and dimensional. Minor or atypical elements should be reflected in the plans and building sections. Confirm that all circulation elements conform with building and accessibility codes as well as with market requirements; SAMPLE
f. Verify that all program requirements are incorporated into the plans including support areas such as staff break rooms / toilets, building storage areas, custodial closets and trash rooms and recycling;
g. Develop Building elevations and note exterior materials; indicate the extent of their use and confirm alternatives with District. Develop Building sections including typical foundation details; indicate floor to floor dimensions, ceiling heights, major structural elements and major MEP transfer or horizontal distribution zones. Prepare Study models, perspective sketches, or digital modeling. Develop preliminary selections of major building systems with construction materials noted on the drawings or described in writing.
h. Develop typical exterior wall sections, typical exterior details and typical exterior wall types with sufficient detail delineated in the drawings and adequately described in the Basis of Design Project Manual so that initial system pricing can be obtained;
i. Prepare general description of atypical and high finish spaces such as lobbies, public corridors and amenities. Describe in the form of narratives and/or freehand sketches;
j. Establish ceiling heights on a preliminary typical or representative reflected ...
