Task 12. Construction GMP Bid(s)
Task 12. The A-E shall prepare a Class 3 cost estimate per ASTM E2516- Classification for Cost recommended estimates for the various alternatives will be calculated to a level appropriate for preliminary engineering alternatives and will be based on local cost data, historic bid data of similar work, general current market conditions and engineering experience and judgment.
Task 12. 3.1 – Online deliberation In T12.3.1, Milestone M222 has been achieved in M20: the first online deliberation took place from 6-14 May 2015. It has gathered more than 100 participants (French population sample) and focused on the Future Medicine component of HBP. The consultation’s results have been analysed and described in a report that has been circulated amongst SP12 and will be made public at the end of the Ramp-Up Phase. It is available as Attachment 1 of the present document. The participants have posted 3,586 messages on the platform, and the moderators have created 12 topics and 42 micro-polls. After thorough discussions about topics such as psychiatric and mental diseases in general and treatments for them, expectations towards science, big data in general and medical big data, and privacy concerns, respondents were introduced to two aspects of the HBP Medical Informatics Platform: the “brain signatures project” and the “data federation plan”. The decision to focus on those aspects was motivated by the findings of earlier SP12 research activities, especially those of the Foresight Lab (T12.1.1, King’s College, P32) and of the Stakeholders Forum (T12.3.3, Danish Board of Technology, P16) see [14] and [15]. Below are the exact texts describing the two key aspects of HBP SP8’s program: they are deliberately kept simple, to let all the respondents understand its goals and characteristics. The Data Federation System • The Human Brain Project is a European scientific project, dedicated to research on the human brain, using simulation techniques and cutting-edge computing (high performance and neuromorphic computing) • An important part of this Project focuses on the biological foundations of psychiatric and mental illness, in order to develop new medical therapies and more efficient drugs. Scientists will thus build a computing platform to gather huge volumes of data and perform statistical analysis on them. • The HBP will use data coming from the medical records of patients cured for neurodegenerative, mental or psychiatric diseases in hospitals across Europe. Those data will be integrated into one central database according to these principles: − In each hospital partnering with theProject, the data contained in the patients’ records will be anonymised and then sent to the central platform − On the central platform’s side, the accredited researchers will access only aggregated data (not individual ones), i.e. sets of data coming from several individua...
Task 12. Traffic Noise Analysis The project does not affect vehicular traffic therefore, we do not anticipate TxDOT requiring a traffic noiseanalysis. A traffic noise analysis is not included in the proposed scope of work. This service may be added by supplemental agreement if required. This scope assumes building permits will not be issued for development adjacent to the proposed project prior to the date of public knowledge (per the noise guidance, the date of public knowledge is the date of the approval of the categorical exclusion (CE)). Detailed noise abatement analyses associated with currently unknown development adjacent to the project is not included in this scope of services, but it canbe provided as an additional service upon written authorization by the City. This scope also does not include services associated with hosting or participation in a noise workshop.
