Common use of Refine Schematic Clause in Contracts

Refine Schematic. The Engineer shall review the schematic provided by the FBCTRA to confirm its understanding of the project and to verify completeness and accuracy of the information. The Engineer shall refine the horizontal and vertical alignment of the design schematic in English units for main lanes, ramps, and grade separation structures. The Engineer shall determine vertical clearances at grade separations and overpasses, taking into account the appropriate percent grade and super-elevation rate. Minor modifications in the alignment must be considered to provide optimal design. Modifications must be coordinated with the FBCTRA and adjacent Engineers. The FBCTRA must approve the refined schematic prior to the Engineer proceeding to the 50% milestone submittal, and prior to starting on the bridge layouts.
