PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT AND SCHEMATIC DESIGN Sample Clauses
The Preliminary Assessment and Schematic Design clause defines the process by which an initial evaluation of a project is conducted and a basic design concept is developed. Typically, this involves the contractor or designer reviewing the project requirements, site conditions, and relevant regulations before preparing schematic drawings or models that outline the project's general layout and key features. This clause ensures that both parties have a clear understanding of the project's scope and feasibility early in the process, helping to identify potential issues and align expectations before more detailed design work begins.
PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT AND SCHEMATIC DESIGN. This phase includes activities required for agency coordination and permit development, non- routine surveys, testing and architectural/engineering preliminary design considerations of a project. Elements of this phase may include development of architectural schematic building designs and reports, non-routine geological and field investigations (soil borings and pavement cores), DCP testing, FWD testing (when used to evaluate pavement as part of a strengthening project), coordination of FAA reimbursable agreements, coordination of utility relocation agreements, coordination of force account activity (must be pre-approved by the Department in writing). The Consultant shall furnish and/or perform engineering reconnaissance necessary for the preparation and development of an engineering report, bidding documents (design plans and specifications) including topographic field surveys, crack surveys, and sampling and testing for routine soils investigations (in accordance with ATTACHMENT J – Testing Schedule & ATTACHMENT K – Testing Rates & Cost Summary). This phase will culminate in the submittal of a detailed engineering report with project alternatives and design recommendations and project completion timeline assessment. The Consultant shall furnish an engineering report in accordance with standard practices and the provisions of ATTACHMENT E – Engineering Report. The report will include an analysis of preliminary surveys, geotechnical testing and alternative designs and include final project design recommendations. The project completion timeline assessment will identify necessary effort required to complete the final project design (complete construction plans and specifications). This phase of project development will represent approximately 35% of the project design timeline. Project formulation should be consistent with the TIP submittal and the program letter project description (ATTACHMENT R). If not, identify components that have changed as a result of the preliminary assessment and schematic design analysis. A detailed scope of services shall be attached with anticipated labor effort and costs delineated in ATTACHMENTS A / A1.
PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT AND SCHEMATIC DESIGN. For services outlined in Section I.A., Preliminary Assessment and Schematic Design, and further detailed in Section I.H., Detailed Scope of Services, 1. Payment was included in the amount for the Design Phase Services.
PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT AND SCHEMATIC DESIGN. For services outlined in Section I.A., Preliminary Assessment and Schematic Design, and further detailed in Section I.H., Detailed Scope of Services, 1. a lump sum payment of $ N/A (representing approximately 35% of the total estimated professional services compensation for design phase services as determined from the TIP request). The fee shall be paid as a lump sum when the preliminary assessment and schematic design phase deliverables (outlined in Section I.A.) are approved and accepted by the Department.
