Superstructure Alternatives Sample Clauses
The Superstructure Alternatives clause defines the options available for the design, construction, or selection of the main structural framework of a project. It typically outlines the acceptable types of superstructures—such as steel, concrete, or composite systems—and may specify criteria for choosing among them based on factors like cost, site conditions, or performance requirements. This clause ensures that all parties are clear on the permissible structural solutions, thereby facilitating informed decision-making and reducing the risk of disputes over design expectations.
Superstructure Alternatives. The Consultant shall evaluate at a minimum two separate superstructure types for possible development during final design. Whenever span configurations allow, a concrete and a steel alternative shall be evaluated. Each superstructure type shall be developed to the point of beam size selection and spacing to allow for constructability and cost analysis to be performed.
