Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. Consultant Design Phases/Deliverable Requirements: The following design phases with corresponding design deliverables may be required for this project. See District Design Guidelines for additional information on submittal requirements. a. Schematic Design Phase Submittal (35%) b. Design Development Phase Submittal (65%) c. Construction Document Phase Submittal (95%) d. Bid Documents Submittal (100%) 2. Phase 1 Design Development a. Develop Project Scope and Design; Prepare Construction Drawings and Specifications with cost estimates i. Verification of the Planned Project Scope of Work: As part of the Schematic Design Phase work, the Consultant shall verify and update the Planned Project Scope of Work. Consider sequencing and phasing of the work around the school’s schedule, and provide recommendations. Cursory review of the District’s hazmat documentation will be necessary to ensure the project is viable and will remain within budget. The Consultant shall consult with the District Project Manager for any deviation from the Planned Project Scope of Work prior to completing the Schematic Submittal. Schematic Submittal shall reflect the final approved project scope of work. Value engineering and innovative design solutions are encouraged. ii. Verification of the Construction Budget: The Consultant shall verify the project scope of work at each submittal with respect to required cost estimates at the 35%, 65%, and 95% submittal. Prior to all milestone submittals, the Consultant shall verify to the District Project Manager that the cost estimate was reviewed and is reflective of the design document submittal. Should the project cost estimate reflect a design (scope of work) that is over the District’s budget (CCAP), the Consultant shall, at the direction of the District Project Manager, make changes to arrive at the optimum design and bidding strategy by one of the follow or combination of methods. In general, it is expected the Consultant shall develop appropriate project scope at, or slightly exceeding, the available construction budget. a. Adjust the design (scope of work) and/or propose additive alternates in consultation with the District Project Manager at no additional cost to the District b. Revise the cost estimate at no additional cost to the District iii. Project Design Review: ASD milestone Project Design Reviews are organized by the ASD PM and executed using Bluebeam Revu (Bluebeam) sessions at Planning/15%, 35%, 65%, and 95% design phases. The use of Bluebeam allows for a collaborative, digital review for the Project; involving ASD Reviewers and Consultants, including the Consultant’s cost estimator. ASD will provide all comments, written and noted, in the Bluebeam session and the Consultant shall assist the District by reviewing and responding in writing to all comments in the Bluebeam session; identifying and making written recommendations to the ASD Project Manager regarding the most critical design issues. The most critical path design issues will be summarized and discussed in a Post-Review Debrief (to be held at each design phase). The Project Manager will organize/invite Reviewers to the Post-Review Debrief. The Consultant shall act as the Meeting Facilitator of the Post-Review Debrief. The Post-Review Debrief is not meant to be a ‘page-turn’ review of design documents and comments, but a one-hour summarization of the most critical path items in design development and the team’s intent/approach to resolve. Once the Post-Review Debrief is held, the PM will give Consultant notice to proceed to next design phase, pending any requested changes prior to NTP. The Project Manager will then verify that each comment and response has a Bluebeam status set and finish the Bluebeam session for ASD archives. iv. Bidding and Permitting: The Consultant shall assist the District during the bidding and permit review of the project. During this phase of work, the Consultant’s services shall include providing assistance during Municipality of Anchorage plan review and construction permit application process [utilizing MOA electronic plans review protocols], attendance at pre-bid conference and pre-bid site visits, answering bidder’s questions, and assisting the District in preparing necessary bid addendum. Provide all signed and stamped bid documents electronically on writable CD-ROM (drawings should be submitted in most current version of AutoCAD used by the Anchorage School District or as determined by ASD Project Manager and PDF versions).
