Reference Design Clause Samples

Reference Design. The Consultants shall note that the results of ground investigation and laboratory testing may not be available in time for the Consultants to carry out their design work. The Consultants shall exercise their professional judgment with reference to existing geological and ground investigation information, ground conditions and geology to be adopted for the purpose of design work. The Consultants shall review their assumptions when ground investigation and laboratory testing results are available and review and refine their design works in this and subsequent Phases of this Assignment. Having regard to the reviews and assessments of all relevant factors including the planning, land, environmental, technical, utilities and operational aspects, the Consultants shall identify and determine the key constraints, challenges, requirements, elements, components and equipment required for the Project including any related ancillary or supporting facilities. The Consultants shall identify and evaluate different equipment of crushing domestic food waste, identify and evaluate different options of arrangements and layout of facilities within the Site and recommend the pre-treatment capacity and the preferred layout, taking into account the applicable constraints and all other relevant factors identified in the reviews and assessments. The Consultants shall develop and prepare a Reference Design for the Project. The design shall provide justifications and define appropriate designs, functional and performance/control criteria and constraints for the Project, including those for all the major elements, components, equipment and facilities. It shall provide sufficient information and details for confirming the engineering feasibility of the Project. The Reference Design shall be flexible enough so that a wide range of tenderers and technology suppliers would be able to submit a conforming tender that could meet all the tender requirements. The Consultants shall specify key elements/ inventories of the Project in order to comply with the required functional, technical, operational and environmental performances. The key elements of the Project shall include, but not limited to, provision for food waste reception, storage, handling and feeding; domestic food waste processing and pre-treatment and delivery of domestic food waste to designated anaerobic digesters at the Sha Tin STW; emission control devices; site administration facilities; utilities services; waste disposal a...
