The Project will be designed and built to be a functional, attractive, and cost-efficient flexible space. The Project must, at minimum, be designed and built to accommodate three classrooms, two multi-use conference rooms, an open flex space capable of providing high speed wireless internet in individual workstations, and study rooms. In addition, new bathrooms, storage, and IT rooms will be constructed. The addition of an elevator for second floor access is included as part of the Project for ADA and building code compliance. The joint library access, and the common parking space will allow for a flow between spaces when needed, and the isolation of each as required. All Drawings shall comply with all agencies and building codes, standards, and requirements while producing construction documents and respond to any permitting agency or governing authority requirements. The Consultant shall submit drawings and documents to the County for review in three phases: forty (40) percent, sixty (60) percent, and ninety (90) percent before producing the final signed and sealed set. Revisions to concept drawings requested by the owner and additional drawings or documents called for by any governing agency are part of the contracted scope and shall not be considered extra work. Forty percent documents consist of a Preliminary Design that shall include architectural drawings produced to show a functional design floor plan and site layout, new structure location and layout, and site utilization. A preliminary construction cost estimate, including "hard costs" and soft costs," shall be provided along with the 40 percent documents, which shall be updated as needed. Sixty percent documents will include a set of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings (MEPs); a substantially complete project cost estimate broken down by tasks and divisions of the Construction Specification Institute; a preliminary schedule; substantially complete specifications; and value engineering recommendations. Ninety percent documents will include all drawings, including MEPs, civil, fire, structural, and all engineering calculations; a final cost estimate incorporating all changes; a complete project schedule; a complete set of specifications; and a project manual for owner review. One hundred percent documents include the complete set of drawings, specifications, cost estimate, schedule, manual, and bid narrative. The Consultant shall consider the County’s input throughout the process, produce a critical assessment, and attend concept meetings scheduled by the County. A Construction Manager designated by the County will be the single point of contact between the owner and the Consultant.
