Predesign Phase Sample Clauses
The 'Predesign Phase' clause defines the initial stage of a project where foundational planning and preparatory activities are conducted before formal design work begins. During this phase, tasks may include site analysis, feasibility studies, establishing project requirements, and setting preliminary budgets or schedules. By clearly outlining the responsibilities and deliverables expected before design commences, this clause ensures that all parties have a shared understanding of the project's scope and objectives, thereby reducing misunderstandings and setting a solid groundwork for subsequent project phases.
Predesign Phase. 1. The Architect shall examine and analyze available information provided by the Owner and Project Manager and shall advise and recommend as to additional information necessary to begin specific design work on the Project.
2. The Architect shall provide services to extensively investigate existing conditions or facilities or to make measured drawings thereof.
3. The Architect shall provide services to verify the accuracy of drawings or other information furnished by the Owner.
4. Upon analysis of all available information and prior to initiating any design tasks, the Architect shall participate in a Project Predesign Meeting. The Architect shall have in attendance the individuals who will represent the primary architectural and engineering disciplines on the project and others as may be requested by the Project Manager. The Project Manager, in conjunction with the Architect, shall take and transcribe minutes of the sessions.
Predesign Phase. The following Site Identification and Acquisition Services as described below in Article 3.02.01
Predesign Phase. Programming 1 Medical Examiner’s Office
3.02.01 Consultant shall develop and submit space requirements and program to establish the following detailed requirements for the Project: design objectives, limitations and criteria; spatial and functional relationships; functional responsibilities of personnel; flexibility and expandability; and special equipment and systems.
3.02.02 Consultant shall develop and submit the program's description of occupancy needs and spatial allocation by coordinating with County Staff (including building user groups and others as necessary) and:
(A) Establishing criteria for importance of room functions and relationships.
(B) Creating a Spatial Interaction Matrix and/ or model (list of departments, divisions or offices or other suitable subdivision that shows their relationship to others).
(C) Creating room by room spatial interaction diagrams and/or model showing all room relationships.
(D) Identifying numerical ratings of the importance of relationships of each room to other rooms.
(E) Making link and node diagrams to show departmental and room relationships identified in the interaction matrices.
(F) Making bubble diagrams indicating spaces with relationships and their importance rankings.
(G) Manipulating bubble diagrams until link crossovers (plan conflicts) are eliminated.
(H) Creating horizontal and vertical diagrammatic block plans with relative spatial requirements with identification of all rooms, corridors, and vertical circulation and exit analysis.
(I) Determine preliminary structural, mechanical, and other engineering systems.
(J) Developing and documenting relative spatial areas for all departments, rooms; mechanical, vertical transportation; service, exit stairs and corridors; and horizontal circulation.
Predesign Phase. 3.02.01 CONSULTANT shall confer with representatives of COUNTY to verify and confirm the scope of Programming and other Predesign Services required for the Project; which shall include:
(A) Establishing a listing of COUNTY, Using Agency and other representatives who will be providing information or feedback to CONSULTANT during the programming process. Include in this listing the Representative’s name, title, organization, address, phone, fax and e-mail. CONSULTANT shall periodically review, update and distribute this list throughout this and subsequent project phases.
(B) Establishing and verifying a chain of responsibility or decision making in COUNTY’s project and functional organizations for use in later decision making during the programming process and subsequent design phases.
(C) Determining whether COUNTY will provide a partial program for tenant occupied spaces and obtaining such program(s) for CONSULTANT’s use and integration into a single programming document for the entire project.
(D) Obtaining and mobilizing any facilities CONSULTANT(s) or other specialists to provide technical or functional information necessary to develop the programming documents.
(E) Developing and implementing user surveys, personal and group interviews, focus groups and other information gathering techniques necessary to establish and verify functional and spatial relationships, work flow and other related criteria.
(F) Obtaining, verifying and further developing COUNTY’s preliminary list of building functions and spaces.
(G) Obtaining, verifying and further developing COUNTY’s preliminary list of equipment and furnishings including any special equipment, special furnishings or equipment/furnishings that require custom fabrication or unique installation.
(H) Obtaining, verifying and further developing COUNTY’s preliminary list of “Owner supplied materials”, construction or related work to be performed by the Owner, and any salvage items projected to be retained by the Owner.
(I) Obtaining, verifying and further developing COUNTY’s building construction and operating cost estimates.
(J) Obtaining COUNTY’s applicable space standards for use on subsequent programming tasks.
(K) Providing an existing facility conditions report.
(L) Providing a recommendations report describing the extent of work to be accomplished.
3.02.02 CONSULTANT shall develop space requirements and program to establish the following detailed requirements for the Project: design objectives, limitations...
