Common use of ARCHITECT'S SERVICES Clause in Contracts

ARCHITECT'S SERVICES. A. Pre-Design/Schematic Design Phase 1. Identify applicable building codes, administrative, and permit processing requirements as relevant; 2. Verify, by on-site inspection unless specifically stated otherwise by the Owner, existing conditions and systems, including but not necessarily limited to architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical systems, to confirm that these conditions and systems are of adequate condition and capacity to support the Work to be executed on the Project; 3. In consultation with Consultant Team, Owner Representatives, and other designated persons, use all available information to evaluate the Program Requirements, and with appropriate data and graphics propose a series of improvements deemed necessary and desirable to satisfy the Program Requirements, including; space needs, budget, availability of utilities, effect of codes and ordinances, safety and energy requirements, handicapped access to all spaces, historical character of the building, etc.; 4. Based on the revised Program Requirements, develop Schematic Design studies consisting of drawings, and other documents for the Owner's approval; 5. Provide documents suitable for submission to the City of Ashland for the University Physical Development Plan Review; 6. Assist the Owner to file the required documents for the approval of various governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Project; Owner shall pay for all required appeals and plan review fees; 7. Prepare a comprehensive State Energy Efficiency Design (“SEED”) Analysis of the Project, provide all documentation required for a SEED Award to the Owner for the Project and provide all other Services for the Project that are required under the SEED Program of the State of Oregon Department of Energy, consistent with the requirements of ORS 276.900 through 276.915 and OAR 330-130-0010 through 330- 130-0080, that are applicable to this phase of the Services. When completed, the Project shall exceed the State Building Code requirements for energy efficiency by 20% or more, and shall be a “model of energy efficiency” as that term is described in the above-referenced administrative rules. 8. At the Owner’s request, Cost Estimating services have been removed from the Architect’s proposed scope of services. The Architect’s design team will rely on and adhere to the cost estimates provided by the Owner’s contracted Cost Estimator. The Architect shall have the responsibility to meet the Project’s programmatic and budget requirements, all consistent with the requirements of Section I.F.4 above and within the estimates provided by the Owner’s contracted Cost Estimator. 9. In the event that the Contractor for the Project is a Construction Manager/General Contractor (“CM/GC”), the Architect shall perform the following Services associated with preparation of the probable Direct Construction Cost of the Project: a. In lieu of performing the Direct Construction Cost estimating Services referenced in Section VII.A.8 above, Architect shall provide cost verification Services and any other assistance related to the probable Direct Construction Cost estimates that will be prepared by the CM/GC, including but not limited to the following: 1) Review and verify the Direct Construction Cost estimates provided by the CM/GC during, or at the end of, the design phase of the Project; and SAMPLE 2) Coordinate these cost verification Services with the Direct Construction Cost estimating services to be provided by the CM/GC and Owner’s independent cost estimator, in order to ensure reconciliation of the two and provide timely and accurate cost information to the Owner, in the most efficient manner reasonable under the circumstances. b. Otherwise fully cooperate with the CM/GC during the value engineering process, constructability reviews, and otherwise during the design phase(s) and the construction phase(s) of the Project; and c. In the event the Direct Construction Cost estimates prepared by the CM/GC exceed the Owner’s Direct Construction Cost budget, Architect shall revise the Project design at Architect’s expense to allow construction of the Project within Owner’s budget. 10. Submit to the Owner the following documents, information and other data: a. written report of the results of a Fire and Life Safety review with the City of Ashland b. interior colors, materials and finishes recommendations; c. a project schedule delineating the estimated time required for the Architect to complete the Design Development and Construction Documents Phases of the Project; d. recommendations by the Consultants (structural, mechanical, electrical) of the technical requirements necessary to implement the Program Requirements; e. preliminary plans, elevations, and other drawings necessary to describe the entire scope of the Project. These drawings may be used for local municipal review and campus review. 11. Perform those design Services during this phase of the design for fine arts and crafts to be identified and incorporated into the Project, pursuant to the State of Oregon “1% For Art Program”, set forth in ORS 276.073 to 276.090, as amended, relating to acquisition of fine arts or crafts to be part of the Project and consisting of consultations with the Owner on selection of artwork, commissioning and/or completion of the artwork and integration with the overall design of the Project.
