DBB. The CMA shall, after a complete review of the Project program and understanding of the intent of APS and the A/E, provide VE services as described below and offer cost savings suggestions and best value recommendations to APS. All recommendations must be fully reviewed with APS and approved prior to implementation. APS views VE as an ongoing process. The CMA is expected, therefore, to be pro-active and participate on an ongoing basis relative to VE ideas. VE efforts shall result in a design that is most effective in first costs as well as long term operational costs relative to issues of energy use and facility maintainability. VE studies shall include life cycle cost analysis as may be required to achieve an appropriate balance between costs, aesthetics, and function. VE efforts shall also take into consideration applicable constructability issues. The CMA shall notify, in writing, APS upon observing any features in the design that appear to be ambiguous, confusing, conflicting, or erroneous. All VE studies must be provided on a timely basis within the design schedule. VE studies shall be continuous as the design is being developed. The CMA shall maintain a VE log inclusive of VE item description, cost, and Project Team’s recommendation (accepted, pending, rejected). There shall be a major VE study at the Design Development (DD) submission (utilizing the DD documents) which shall include, but not be limited to, the items noted below, conducted and/or provided by the CMA. Although the major VE session is expected at DD, it is not intended to be the only VE discussion; rather it is anticipated that most of the potential VE savings be identified prior to the DD documents:
