Study Task 1: Project Start-Up and Work Plan Objective: Confirm with the design team and MassDOT the scope of the work anticipated and establish clear, commonly understood objectives and a methodology for the project execution. Project Start-Up and Work Plan tasks and deliverables may include, but are not limited to the following items. Tasks: 1.1 Study Conference 1.2 Study Work Plan Deliverables: • Meeting Agendas and Minutes (MassDOT Study Meeting) • Study Meeting Presentation • Study Phase Work Plan (Draft and Final) for approval by MassDOT. Draft to be submitted within two weeks following Study Conference. The Work Plan typically includes: o Workplan Approvals o Project Overview (with Design Excellence Goals) o Directory o Budget and Fee o Project Schedule o Quality Control Plan o BIM Execution Plan o Detailed Tasks Lists (Tasks 1-7) Study Task 2: Program Development & Existing Conditions Documentation/ Analysis Objective: Review all documents provided by MassDOT. Assess, analyze, and document the programmatic, siting and building requirements for accommodating the services and activities identified by MassDOT. Assess existing conditions of the site and buildings providing sufficient information to identify the problems and opportunities, so that all major implications for future requirements and design can be accurately judged. Program Development and Existing Conditions Analysis tasks and deliverables include the following items; however, the approved Work Plan will dictate the actual scope of work. Tasks: 2.1 Existing Documentation Review 2.2 Program Development 2.3 Site and Building Analysis 2.4 Cost Analysis 2.5 Project Schedule 2.6 Program Development and Existing Conditions Report 2.7 Problem Restatement (if required) Deliverables: • Meeting Minutes • Meeting Presentations • Program Development and Existing Conditions Report (Draft and Final) Study Task 3: Development & Evaluation of Alternatives Objective: Identify and analyze up to three meaningful alternative design concepts for implementing the proposed project. Emphasis should be placed on developing reasonable, economical, and practical solutions to evaluate. Each alternative should satisfy the standards and policies. The types of alternatives to be considered should be reviewed and approved by MassDOT before they are developed in any detail. Development & Evaluation of Alternatives tasks and deliverables include the following items; however, the approved Work Plan will dictate the actual scope of work. Tasks: 3.1 Alternatives 3.2 Alternatives Evaluation 3.3 Workshop 3.4 Alternatives Documentation & Preferred Alternative Deliverables: • Meeting/Workshop Minutes • Meeting Presentations • Alternatives Report – Alternatives, Evaluation Matrix, Preferred Alternative (Draft and Final).
