Common use of Preliminary Plan Phase Clause in Contracts

Preliminary Plan Phase. 1. During this phase Contractor shall, in coordination with the AOC, the Architect or Engineer and other third parties (as necessary and authorized by the AOC), provide the following: (i) Constructability Reviews: After reviewing the Feasibility Report and in consultation with the AOC and the Architect, the Contractor shall make recommendations and provide information and cost comparisons regarding construction materials, methods, systems, and phasing, to ensure efficient construction and best use of the construction budget to meet the prioritized goals. After reviewing all design documents for completeness and coordination, the Contractor shall make appropriate recommendations cost comparisons regarding, construction materials and methods, to ensure efficient construction. Constructability Review shall be conducted on the Final Program Document, 100% Schematic Design and 100% Design Development documents. (ii) Not used (iii) Value Analysis: Contractor shall conduct value analysis workshops at 100% Schematic Design and 100% Design Development stage. Contractor is responsible for confirming, at the end of each stage, in writing to the AOC, that all Project and construction costs have been identified. Contractor shall lead the activities of the AOC, Architect, and other project participants in a value analysis and verify the cost- effectiveness of the design. Contractor shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the AOC and shall certify in writing to the AOC, that the Design Documents and/or Construction Documents, at the end of each of these stages, are in conformance with the requirements of the Project Program and quality standards set by the AOC, and that Contractor’s current total cost estimate for construction of the Project is equal to or less than the Construction Budget. (iv) Cost Control Management: Contractor shall prepare, based upon Design Documents prepared by the Architect or Engineer and identified by the AOC, its own cost estimate of the total construction cost of the Project at several times, as specified in this SOW. Contractor shall compare their cost estimate with the cost estimate independently prepared by the Architect or Engineer for these same design documents and endeavor to resolve discrepancies in the estimates to the satisfaction of the AOC, and with the goal that both cost estimates are less than or equal to the AOC’s Construction Budget. Contractor shall recommend, if necessary, appropriate modifications of the Design Documents to lower both the Contractor’s and the Architect or Engineer’s independent estimates to amounts equal to or lower than the Construction Budget. Contractor’s cost estimates shall be provided according to ASTM Uniformat II standards and as specified below, and arranged in Uniformat format (a building systems organization format). Construction cost estimates shall be developed/updated and submitted as a part of each of the following submittals: (a) 100% Final Program Document, 50% and 100% Schematic Design and 50% and 100% Design Development; Uniformat format elemental categories and detailed to Level 3; (b) Each cost estimate shall: (1) Reflect the best professional estimate of actual costs anticipated. (2) Establish internal estimating allowances, consistent with good professional practice, appropriate to the phase of development. Larger allowances are assumed held at early phases gradually diminishing to zero at completion of final cost estimate. (3) Adjust reported cost values to contract ENR CCCI value. Do not advance costs to the estimated start of construction, mid-point of construction or to present day values unless otherwise directed by the AOC. Questions regarding the calculation of ENR CCCI values shall be reviewed with the AOC Project Manager. (v) Authorization to proceed with each succeeding step in the design process is contingent upon the AOC’s written Acceptance of both the Architect or Engineer’s and Contractor’s independent cost estimates, which when evaluated separately, must both be equal to or less than the Construction Budget.
