DESIGN PHASES

A.

As applicable, the following descriptions represent the minimum range of design Consultant Services
the Contractor shall provide. It is understood that these descriptions are general and are intended to give a
general overview of what is expected from the Contractor in the provision of design services. For each
Zone(s) or part thereof requiring design from the Contractor, the Contractor shall prepare and submit a
more specific scope of work that provides supplemental requirements and a complete list of deliverables
to be agreed on with the Engineer. The Contractor shall provide all design services necessary to deliver
the Project.

B.

Design Phase Services:


1.

Data Gathering and Review: The Contractor shall gather, review and analyze all existing
information made available by the Employer as well as all applicable codes, standards,
regulations, etc. from concerned bodies, utility companies and local and national authorities.

2.

Field Work and Site Analysis: The Contractor shall visit the Project Site prior to commencing any
design and shall perform all fieldwork necessary to determine the existing conditions at the Project
Site that may impact on the Design. The Contractor shall provide detailed topographic, site
boundary, geotechnical, hydrological, soils analysis, wind, sun, seismic information, marine
surveys / analyses and other site information deemed necessary for the execution of the project.

3.

Existing Conditions Survey requires researching, assembling, reviewing, and supplementing


existing documentation, as well as field verification. The survey shall include archival research
and field measurements, photography, videography and selective demolition may also be required.
Investigation of existing conditions is a required task for every design project. The Contractor
shall update existing conditions notes when known changes take place between the initial survey
and the final submission of construction documents and drawings.

4.

Programming and Space Planning:

ALTERNATES
Volume 2

01230 Page 11 of 32
May 2012

Saraya Aqaba

Specifications

a.

The Contractor shall as part of his programming and space planning services include
preparing and collecting detailed technical, spatial, and programmatic requirements for
interior and exterior facility spaces, including architectural, engineering, FF&E and SOE
needs; analyzing program functions, access/circulation, security; presentation of findings
and recommendations; providing and evaluating spatial relationships of program elements
with block diagrams, stacking diagrams, circulation/space flow diagrams, adjacency
diagrams, space plans and other analyses prior to design.

b.

The Contractor shall review any additional programming documentation prepared by others
for completeness and accuracy. Based on that review, the Contractor will itemize areas,
elements or relationships that require further definition. The Contractor will brief the
Engineer on these items and the Engineer will arrange for work sessions with the Employer
and appropriate Operators or users to address the open issues.

c.

Prior to initiating each phase of design, the Contractor, the Engineer, and the Employer,
and appropriate Operators should meet to review design program expectations and to
exchange ideas, lessons-learned, and concerns. Such technical partnering sessions allow
a clearer definition of expectations while remaining within the Projects scope and the
Accepted Contract Amount.

5.

Schematic Design: If required, the Contractor shall prepare architectural and engineering
responses to the project's program. These studies shall describe organizational concepts, themes,
and/or the architectural parti, as well as major building or engineering systems concepts. Once
the Engineer selects a design direction in which to proceed, the Contractor shall prepare designs
that illustrate the general scope and the relationship between the various Zone(s) of the Project.
Drawings shall be schematic in character, based on the programmatic and conceptual requirements
developed and agreed upon by the Engineer. In general, this submission shall consist of drawings
and sketches, a narrative report that addresses major site and building systems, gross and net area
calculations, and a massing model (as appropriate). The Contractor shall provide a submission
that will demonstrate compliance with the buildings program (space tabulation of buildings
program) including all adjacency and functional requirements. This submission will also show that
the proposed design is within the zoning area, and that the buildings and massing are compatible
with the surroundings. The aesthetics should support the projects overall design theme. Buildings
systems and buildings envelopes appropriate for the schematic designs should be defined in order
that they can be evaluated early for effectiveness and efficiency related to operation, maintenance
and energy consumption. See Design Deliverables below.

6.

Design Development: The Contractor shall prepare design development phase documents which
reflect accurate existing conditions at the Project Site as well as proposed work identified in the
schematic design phase. Design development documents should be a mock-up or outline of the
working drawing set and are prepared at the scale(s) and sheet size needed for Contractors
Documents. All schematic phase decisions and instructions approved by the Engineer during
review shall be incorporated in the design development phase documents. All disciplines shall
exhibit generally equivalent levels of completeness and coordination, and display approximately
35% development of the information required for construction. The Contractor shall provide a set
of submissions that will finalize the selection of all systems with respect to type, size and other
material characteristics. Systems are not only structural, mechanical, fire protection and electrical,
but include all other buildings components such as the buildings envelopes (wall, window and
roof), interior construction (flooring, ceiling and partitions), service spaces, elevators, etc. The
design submission will consist of a combination of drawings, narrative and calculations. Although
final design development plans, sections and elevations must be to scale, drawings made in the
analysis stage to illustrate various options may be freehand. See Design Deliverables below.

Specifications

a.

Value Engineering (VE) is a process which identifies opportunities to remove


unnecessary costs while assuring that quality, reliabilities, performance and other critical
factors will meet or exceed the Employers Expectations.

b.

VE is a process that is somewhat continuous throughout the design but its greatest
emphasis should be in the early stages of the design (schematic and design development).
Initially it should focus on buildings systems and materials in a general sense during
schematics. As the Design is developed the focus will shift to detailed aspects of the earlier
decisions during design development. Diagrams, narratives, and sketches with calculations
to demonstrate the life-cycle cost effectiveness of the system should be prepared and
received during this phase. This approach requires a diligent effort and commitment by all
design team members early in the project to systems and materials that make sense
economically and allow quality and durability.

8.

Construction Permit Documents: For each Zone(s) or parts thereof requiring a construction permit,
the Contractor shall prepare and submit a set of permit documents in accordance with the
concerned authorities requirements. The Contractor shall have all permit documents duly
stamped and sealed by authorized architects and engineers of record in accordance with all
statutory requirements. The Contractor shall make all necessary revisions, arrangements, and
follow-up until all construction permits have been obtained. The Contractor shall also translate all
drawings and documents as required.

9.

Detailed Design Documents: The Contractor shall prepare a full set of Detailed Design
Documents. A Detailed Design Set Submission is a complete submission of design documents and
supporting materials that clearly demonstrate project design progress, adherence to project scope
and design criteria, and coordination between disciplines. All disciplines shall exhibit equivalent
levels of completeness. The Detailed Design Documents shall be complete in every Design
aspect. Only very minor revisions should be required after review. All previous comments made
by the Engineer shall be accounted for. The Contractor shall provide a set of detailed and
coordinated submissions to the Engineer, the Employer and Operators for review. The notes on
these should result in a single interpretation of a specific set of data or facts. Detailed Design
Documents should avoid using terms that the design specialist may know, but which have nothing
to do with the purchase and installation of a product. Reviews may be both formal and informal
(onboard). Language between specifications and notes on the drawings must be consistent and
complementary. See Design Deliverables below.

10.

Final Design Documents: All prior submission documents shall be revised/corrected to incorporate
the Engineers, Employers and Operators review comments and shall be resubmitted as final
design documents. The final submission of documents shall include the following completed
items:
