Common use of Development of Architectural Program Clause in Contracts

Development of Architectural Program. The Architect shall prepare for the District’s review an architectural program as follows: a. Perform pre-design investigations to establish appropriate guidelines around which and within which the Project is to be designed. Identify design issues relating to functional needs, directives and constraints imposed by regulatory codes. Review all data pertinent to the Project including survey, site maps, geotechnical reports and recommendations, soil testing results reports, and pertinent historical data, and other relevant information provided by District. b. Identify design issues relating to functional needs, directives and constraints imposed by applicable regulatory codes. c. Based on survey and topography data provided by the District, input into computer and develop existing conditions base for the Schematic Design Phase. d. Administer Project as required to coordinate work with the District and between subconsultants. e. Construction Cost Budget (i) Architect shall have responsibility to further develop review, and reconcile the Construction Cost Budget within the parameters of the Project Budget established in the District’s implementation plan. The estimates forming the basis of the Construction Cost Budget are to be based on the developed functional architectural programs as approved by the District. The following conditions apply to the Construction Cost Budget prepared by the Architect: (A) All costs are to be based on current bid prices, with escalation rate and duration clearly identified as a separate line item; rate of cost escalation and projected bid and construction dates are to be as approved by the District and its representatives. (B) Format shall be in a building systems format (e.g., foundations, substructure, structural system, exterior wall enclosure, window systems, etc.) for new buildings, and summarized by the Construction Specification Institute (CSI) category for buildings being modernized. (C) Contingencies for design, bidding, and construction are to be included as individual line items, with the percentage and base of calculation clearly identified. (D) The Architect shall include all information and estimates from the District and/or the Construction Manager that are intended to be part of the Construction Cost Budget. (E) One week prior to submittal of documents, the Architect shall submit its proposed Construction Cost Budget to the District and the Construction Manager for review and approval. At that time, the Architect shall coordinate with the District and the Construction Manager to further develop, review, and reconcile the Construction Cost Budget.

Development of Architectural Program. The Architect Upon authorization from the District to proceed with the development of an architectural program for the Project, the Architect/Engineer shall prepare for the District’s review an architectural program as follows: a. Perform pre-design investigations to establish appropriate guidelines around which and within which the Project project is to be designed. Identify design issues relating to functional needs, space allocation, directives and constraints imposed by regulatory codes. Review all data pertinent Architectural Program to the include but not be limited to: 1. A Building Program Summary that is inclusive of a Detailed Room Program and Design Criteria, as well as Spatial Adjacency Diagrams 2. Sustainable Design Goals/LEED Project including survey, site maps, geotechnical reports Analysis and recommendations, soil testing results reports, and pertinent historical data, and other relevant information provided Checklist b. Hold informational meetings if requested by District. b. Identify design issues c. Conduct architectural program meeting with the District’s Facilities Team which is to include establishment of the Sustainable Design Goals for the project. Prepare a Sustainable Design Checklist. d. Review the physical site and the Initial Construction Cost Budget and other information/data relating to functional needs, directives and constraints imposed by applicable regulatory codes. c. Based on survey and topography data the project or the requirements of the project as provided by the District and confirm that the scope and features of the project as described in the Initial Construction Cost Budget and other District provided information/data are reasonable for achieving the District, input into computer and develop existing conditions base for the Schematic Design Phase. d. Administer Project as required to coordinate work with ’s project objectives. Architect/Engineer shall notify the District and between subconsultantsin writing if, in its professional opinion, the District’s Initial Construction Cost Budget is inadequate to achieve the District’s project objectives. e. Construction Cost Budget (i) Architect shall have responsibility to further develop review, Adjust and reconcile refine the Initial Construction Cost Budget within the parameters of the Project Budget established in the District’s implementation plan. The estimates forming the basis of the Construction Cost Budget are to be (ICCB), see Exhibit “G”, based on the developed functional architectural programs as approved input from college user groups, Maintenance and Operations, District Representatives and overall program goals and needs that became more defined during the programming phase. Produce an Initial Construction Cost Estimate (ICCE) based on current market conditions for review and approval by the District. The following conditions apply to This estimate shall include a design contingency of twenty percent (20%). Upon written confirmation by the District this ICCE will be designated as the Approved Construction Cost Budget (ACCB). This ACCB will then be utilized as the basis for the preparation of the subsequent Revised Construction Cost Estimates (RCCE) to be prepared by the Architect:/Engineer. f. The Initial Construction Cost Budget (A) ICCB), as identified in Exhibit “G”, will be then superseded, at the completion of the Programming Phase of services, by the Approved Construction Cost Budget (ACCB). g. All costs required Estimates to be prepared by the Architect/Engineer are to be based on current bid prices, with escalation rate and duration clearly identified as a separate line item; rate of cost escalation and projected bid and construction dates are to be as approved by the District and its representatives. (B) Format shall be in a building systems format (e.g., foundations, substructure, structural system, exterior wall enclosure, window systems, etc.) for new buildings, and summarized by the Construction Specification Institute (CSI) category for buildings being modernized. (C) Contingencies for design, bidding, and construction are to be included as individual line items, with the percentage and base of calculation clearly identified. (D) The Architect shall include all information and estimates from the District and/or the Construction Manager that are intended to be part of the Construction Cost Budget. (E) One week prior to submittal of documents, the Architect shall submit its proposed Construction Cost Budget delivered to the District and or its authorized representative no later than seven (7) calendar days after the Construction Manager Architect/Engineer has submitted the respective deliverables for review and approval. At that time, the Architect shall coordinate with the District and the Construction Manager to further develop, review, and reconcile the Construction Cost Budgetcorresponding phase of services.
