Conceptual Phase Clause Samples
The 'Conceptual Phase' clause defines the initial stage of a project where the parties collaborate to develop and refine the project's overall vision, objectives, and feasibility. During this phase, activities may include brainstorming sessions, preliminary design work, and the identification of key project requirements or constraints. This clause ensures that both parties have a shared understanding of the project's direction before committing significant resources, thereby reducing the risk of misunderstandings or costly changes later in the process.
Conceptual Phase. A. Engineer shall:
1. Consult with Owner to define and clarify Owner’s requirements for the Project, including design objectives and constraints, space, capacity and performance requirements, flexibility, and expandability, and any budgetary limitations, and identify available data, information, reports, facilities plans, and site evaluations. If Owner has already identified one or more potential solutions to meet its Project requirements, then proceed with the study and evaluation of such potential solutions. Options will be discussed and agreed to by Engineer at scoping meeting.
2. Identify potential solution(s) to meet Owner’s Project requirements, as needed.
3. Study and evaluate the potential solution(s) to meet Owner’s Project requirements.
4. Visit the Site, or potential Project sites, to review existing conditions and facilities, unless such visits are not necessary or applicable to meeting the objectives of the Study and Report Phase.
5. Advise Owner of any need for Owner to obtain, furnish, or otherwise make available to Engineer additional Project-related data and information, for Engineer’s use in the study and evaluation of potential solution(s) to Owner’s Project requirements, and preparation of a related report.
6. After consultation with Owner, recommend to Owner the solution(s) which in Engineer’s judgment meet Owner’s requirements for the Project.
7. Identify, consult with, and analyze requirements of governmental authorities having jurisdiction to approve the portions of the Project to be designed or specified by Engineer, including but not limited to mitigating measures identified in an environmental assessment for the Project.
8. Prepare a conceptual report (the “Report”) which will, as appropriate, contain schematic layouts, sketches, and conceptual design criteria with appropriate exhibits to indicate the agreed-to requirements, considerations involved, and Engineer’s recommended solution(s). For each recommended solution Engineer will provide the following, which will be separately itemized: opinion of probable Construction Cost; proposed allowances for contingencies; the estimated total costs of design, professional, and related services to be provided by Engineer and its Consultants; and, on the basis of information furnished by Owner, a tabulation of other items and services included within the definition of Total Project Costs.
9. Advise Owner of any need for Owner to provide data or services of the types described in Exhibit B,...
Conceptual Phase. The RFS (Attachment A) specifies the work to be performed during this phase.
Conceptual Phase. Engineer shall:
Conceptual Phase. 359 Based on the results of the first phase, the scope of this second step is to develop an architectural concept and technological strategy presenting and comparing the cost and environmental benefit of several options (minimum 3) of innovations minimizing the energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, water and material consumption and pollution, and their integration.
