Final Design Method Sample Clauses

Final Design Method. Full-mission, real-time simulation methods are appropriate for final design once the potential bridge alignments have been winnowed down to one alternative. This is because full-mission, real-time simulations best evaluate human factors and because such techniques are the only methods that can xxxxxx the confidence of marine pilots. Thus full-mission, real-time simulations contribute substantially to the acceptance of a project by marine pilots, and in turn is expected to contribute to acceptability by the U.S. Coast Guard. Full-mission simulators not only include the hydrographic, hydrodynamic, and current models common with the fast-time simulator, but also display visual projections of above-water features (topography, buildings, aids to navigation, etc.) viewed by the marine pilots operating the simulated vessel(s). Weather phenomena such as fog can be simulated, and the simulated time of day can be adjusted for daytime, dusk, or night-time. The pilots operate the simulated vessel from a realistic mockup of a navigation bridge. The mockup includes engine, rudder, and bow thruster controls; radar; fathometer; compasses; global positioning system (GPS), and radio. Visual and radar images of other ship traffic can also be generated. A partial list of measures and observations that may be obtained from a real-time full-mission simulator is provided in Table 2.3. Because a full-mission simulator necessarily operates in real-time, which for ships is slow, and because of the substantial facilities and marine pilots’ time necessary to make use of full-mission real-time simulation methods, these methods are usually regarded as prohibitively expensive for all but the final design process. For a bridge, that final design process would presumably include variations on bridge pier spacing in addition to runs with different current, wind, visibility, and marine traffic conditions. At least two different Ketchikan marine pilots should be engaged to participate in the simulator exercises. This helps compensate for differences in both skill and luck of the pilots in their ability to successfully perform the simulation exercises. Also, there are two competing marine pilots’ associations in Ketchikan, so using at least one pilot from each association would be prudent and politic. An important application of real-time full-mission simulators is to gain insight into the human performance of cruise ship masters and marine pilots in emergency situations that require extreme ...

  • Final Design A.4.1. Provide OWNER with proposed final construction drawings and detailed opinions of probable total Project construction costs in writing for OWNER' s review, prior to completion of the final Contract Documents, so that any changes that may be necessary in accordance with Project' s budgetary schedule can be made prior to bid.

  • Final Design Phase A. After acceptance by Owner of the Preliminary Design Phase documents, revised opinion of probable Construction Cost as determined in the Preliminary Design Phase, and/or any other Right of Way plan documents, subject to any Owner-directed modifications or changes in the scope, extent, character, or design requirements of or for the Project, and upon written authorization from Owner, Engineer shall:

  • Design Professional to Design Work The Design Professional Contract requires the Design Professional to design and to prepare the Contract Documents, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Contractor upon request. The Design Professional Contract requires the Design Professional to designate a readily accessible representative (either on Site or by computer, phone or fax or otherwise) who shall have authority promptly to render decisions and to furnish information required of the Design Professional.

  • 253 Design Change (a) “Design Change” is a change in work and/or materials shown in the Schedule of Items and described in Plans or specifications that has been mutually agreed to in writing or ordered by Contracting Officer. Changes of a minor nature (such as adjustment in horizontal and vertical alignment, that do not exceed specified tolerance, necessary to maintain or balance earthwork quantities substantially as designed) and variation in quantities, as described in B5.251, shall not be considered Design Changes.

  • Commencement of Final Design This contract does not obligate the State to proceed with final design for any alternative. On completion of environmental documentation, the State will consider all reasonable alternatives in a fair and objective manner. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in the contract or in any work authorization, the Engineer may not proceed with final design until after all relevant environmental decision documents have been issued.

  • Schematic Design Documents In accordance with the approved Preliminary Design and Construction Schedule and based upon approval of and comments made by the Owner regarding the Concept Design Studies, the Design Professional shall prepare and submit to the Owner Schematic Design Documents, including drawings and outline specifications. These documents shall represent a further development of the approved design concept, providing additional detail and specificity regarding the intended design solution. Typically, all such documents shall be drawn to scale, indicating materials and assemblies, as appropriate, to convey the design intent and to illustrate the Project’s basic elements, scale and relationship to the Site. All major pieces of furniture and equipment to be fixed or supplied by the CM/GC shall be illustrated to scale.
