Common use of Preliminary Design Clause in Contracts

Preliminary Design. The preliminary design phase is intended to identify and evaluate cost effective and practical solutions for the work items identified. The designer will complete its evaluation of alternatives through contacts with local authorities, field investigations, and a practical design approach. The design will take advantage of local knowledge and experience and utilize expertise from recent construction projects to design a cost- effective project. Cost efficiencies will be realized in a lower initial cost and in lower long-term maintenance costs. Activities include:
