Refine Schematic Clause Samples

The "Refine Schematic" clause establishes the process and requirements for further developing and detailing an initial schematic design. Typically, this clause outlines how the schematic will be reviewed, revised, and approved by relevant parties, often specifying timelines, deliverables, and standards for refinement. For example, it may require the designer to incorporate feedback from stakeholders or to address regulatory requirements before final approval. The core function of this clause is to ensure that the schematic design evolves into a more precise and workable plan, reducing misunderstandings and facilitating smoother project progression.
Refine Schematic. The Engineer shall review the schematic provided by the FBCTRA to confirm its understanding of the project and to verify completeness and accuracy of the information. The Engineer shall refine the horizontal and vertical alignment of the design schematic in English units for main lanes, ramps, and grade separation structures. The Engineer shall determine vertical clearances at grade separations and overpasses, taking into account the appropriate percent grade and super-elevation rate. Minor modifications in the alignment must be considered to provide optimal design. Modifications must be coordinated with the FBCTRA and adjacent Engineers. The FBCTRA must approve the refined schematic prior to the Engineer proceeding to the 50% milestone submittal, and prior to starting on the bridge layouts.

Refine Schematic. The Engineer shall review the schematic provided by the State to confirm their understanding of the project and to verify completeness and accuracy of the information. The Engineer shall refine the schematic based on the most current information for planned, ongoing, or completed projects in the area, or as directed by the State. The Engineer shall develop a preliminary geometric project layout (Layout) and a preliminary 3D model, for the full length of the project to be reviewed and approved by the State prior to the Engineer proceeding with the 30% milestone submittal package, and prior to starting on the bridge layouts. The Layout must consist of a planimetric file of existing features and the proposed improvements within the existing and any proposed ROW. The Layout must also include the following features: main lanes, ramps, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, existing and proposed ROW, existing and proposed horizontal and vertical alignment and profile grade line, grade separation structures, cross culverts, lane widths, cross slopes, ditch slopes, pavement structure, clear zone, dedicated right turn lanes, corner clips, retaining walls (if applicable) guard rail (if applicable), shared use path, and water surface elevations (WSEL) for various rainfall frequencies. Existing subsurface and surface utilities must be shown on the Layout. The Engineer shall develop the proposed alignment to avoid the relocation of existing utilities as much as possible. The Engineer shall consider Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements when developing the Layout. The Engineer shall determine vertical clearances at grade separations and overpasses, taking into account the appropriate percent grade and super-elevation rate. The Layout must be prepared in accordance with the current Roadway Design Manual. The Engineer shall provide horizontal and vertical alignments of the project layout in English units. Minor alignment alternatives must be considered to provide for an optimal design. The project layout must be coordinated with the State and adjacent Engineers, if any. The Engineer shall also provide proposed and existing typical sections with the profile grade line (PGL), lane widths, cross slopes, ROW lines, ditch shapes, pavement structures and clear zones depicted, and other relevant details. The 3D model must have enough details to verify the feasibility of the proposed design. The Engineer shall use Bentley’s 3D design technology in the design and preparation ...

  • Technical Specifications The purpose of the Technical Specifications (TS), is to define the technical characteristics of the Goods and Related Services required by the Procuring Entity. The Procuring Entity shall prepare the detailed TS consider that:

  • SHOP DRAWINGS, PRODUCT DATA AND SAMPLES 4.12.1 Shop Drawings are drawings, diagrams, schedules and other, data specially prepared for the Work by the Contractor or any Subcontractor, manufacturer, supplier or distributor to illustrate some portion of the Work. 4.12.2 Product Data are illustrations, standard schedules, performance charts, instructions, brochures, diagrams and other information furnished by the Contractor to illustrate a material, product or system for some portion of the Work. 4.12.3 Samples are physical examples which illustrate materials, equipment or workmanship and establish standards by which the Work will be judged. 4.12.4 The Contractor shall review, approve and submit, with reasonable promptness and in such sequence as to cause no delay in the Work or in the work of the State or any separate contractor, all Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples required by the Contract Documents. 4.12.5 By approving and submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, the Contractor represents that he / she has determined and verified all materials, field measurements, and field construction criteria related thereto, or will do so, and that he / she has checked and coordinated the information contained within such submittals with the requirements of the Work and of the Contract Documents. 4.12.6 The Contractor shall not be relieved of responsibility for any deviation from the requirements of the Contract Documents by the Architect's approval of Shop Drawings, Product Data or Samples under Subparagraph 2.2.7 of these General Conditions unless the Contractor has specifically informed the Architect and the State in writing of such deviation at the time of sub- mission and the Architect and the State has given written approval to the specific deviation. The Contractor shall not be relieved from responsibility for errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings, Product Data or Samples by the Architect's approval thereof. 4.12.7 The Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing or on resubmitted Shop Drawings, Product Data or Samples, to revisions other than those requested by the Architect on previous submittals. 4.12.8 No portion of the Work requiring submission of a Shop Drawing, Product Data or Sample shall be commenced until the submittal has been approved by the Architect as provided in Subparagraph 2.2.7 of these General Conditions. All such portions of the Work shall be in accordance with approved submittals.

  • Protocols Each party hereby agrees that the inclusion of additional protocols may be required to make this Agreement specific. All such protocols shall be negotiated, determined and agreed upon by both parties hereto.

  • Drawings and Specifications 9.1 A complete list of all Drawings that form a part of the Contract Documents are to be found as an index on the Drawings themselves, and/or may be provided to Developer and/or in the Table of Contents. 9.2 Materials or Work described in words that so applied have a well-known technical or trade meaning shall be deemed to refer to recognized standards, unless noted otherwise. 9.3 Trade Name or Trade Term It is not the intention of the Contract Documents to go into detailed descriptions of any materials and/or methods commonly known to the trade under “trade name” or “trade term.” The mere mention or notation of “trade name” or “trade term” shall be considered a sufficient notice to Developer that it will be required to complete the work so named, complete, finished, and operable, with all its appurtenances, according to the best practices of the trade. 9.4 The naming of any material and/or equipment shall mean furnishing and installing of same, including all incidental and accessory items thereto and/or labor therefor, as per best practices of the trade(s) involved, unless specifically noted otherwise. 9.5 Contract Documents are complementary, and what is called for by one shall be binding as if called for by all. As such, Drawings and Specifications are intended to be fully cooperative and to agree. However, if Developer observes that Drawings and Specifications are in conflict with the Contract Documents, Developer shall promptly notify District and Architect in writing, and any necessary changes shall be made as provided in the Contract Documents. 9.6 Figured dimensions shall be followed in preference to scaled dimensions, and Developer shall make all additional measurements necessary for the work and shall be responsible for their accuracy.
