Project Planning and Design Clause Samples

Project Planning and Design. The goals of this task are to: • Identify and define optimized systems for each pilot test site for the combination systems, minimizing project operating costs and GHG emissions and maximizing cost-effectiveness. • Identify at least twenty-five (25) heat pump units to be tested in Single Family (SF) homes or Multifamily (MF) residences with individual systems, or at least five (5) heat pump units to be tested for MF residences with central systems to be installed in two different climate zones. • Support design teams and contractors to prepare for installation. The Recipient shall: • Work with the partner low-income housing developers to identify their specific design goals in their residential projects and select the pilot test sites. • All test sites must be located in an IOU service territory and in a Disadvantaged and/or Low Income Community. Disadvantaged Communities are communities defined as areas representing census tracts scoring in the top 25 percent in CalEnviroScreen 3.0 (▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/apps/View/index.html?appid=c3e4e4e1d115468390 cf61d9db83efc4). Low-income communities are communities within census tracts with median household incomes at or below either of the following levels: a) 80 percent of the statewide median income; or b) the applicable low-income threshold listed in the state income limits updated by the Department of Housing and Community Development and filed with the Office of Administrative Law pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code. • Sample size shall consist of a minimum of at least fifteen units tested in SF homes or MF residences. These minimum sample sizes must be used for testing in each of two different and distinct climate zones. • Project planning and design shall include mitigation of post-project impacts on the test site(s). This may include, but is not limited to, replacement of tested technologies with a permitted system at the end of the agreement or compensating test sites for lost revenue. • Collect detailed building design information required for modeling purposes • Analyze project design as necessary to determine system optimization • Assist property owner in finalizing the scope of work for energy and water measures to be installed • Develop equipment specifications for energy efficiency measures. Specifications will be suitable for inclusion in contractor bid documents and contracts. Specifications will in all cases meet or exceed applicable building energy ef...

Project Planning and Design. Environmental Assessments will be prepared for most projects during conceptual design, as required by NPS’ NEPA regulations 4.1. Conceptual alternatives will be developed in sufficient detail for adequate public comment and agency analysis of the impacts 4.1.1. Design criteria will include: 4.1.1.1. The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards 4.1.1.2. Character defining elements and historic context identified with respect to sensitive design, appropriate scale, contextually compatible materials, colors and textures, even as the design program responds to the greatly differing needs of today and tomorrow and maximizes sustainable approaches 4.1.1.3. Views and vistas will be protected as appropriate, and the condition of vegetation that defines views will be improved 4.1.1.4. Individual projects should meet planning principles and objectives defined in the FEISto: 4.1.1.4.1. Provide a welcoming environment that can sustain very high levels of use 4.1.1.4.2. Protect cultural resources and respect the legacy of historic plans even while the designed historic landscape will evolve to accommodate contemporary uses in a sustainable manner 4.1.1.4.3. Improve natural resource conditions of the designed landscape 4.1.1.4.4. Enhance the ability of the National Mall to function as our national civic stage 4.1.1.4.5. Improve access and circulation 4.1.1.4.6. Improve visitor experiences and convenience by including visitor information, education and enjoyment; visitor amenities and services; health, safety and security; and sustainable park operations 4.2. Planning document availability. Planning documents will be available online through PEPC and the National Mall Plan website; planning documents will be sent to all signatories and consulting parties through email, in a CD, electronic or print version 4.3. Review times. 4.3.1. Reviews may vary in intensity and length depending on the individual undertaking and the level of public interest and consultation. Consulting party review of new or intensified effects shall conform to the timeframes and other requirements of 36CFR 800.5(c). 4.3.2. Signatory review for projects will include review of early concepts in planning documents and schematic design; 4.3.3. Consultations will occur during the development of the planning documents and schematic design 4.3.4. Public comment will be sought during the development of the planning documents
