Common use of Value Engineering Team Clause in Contracts

Value Engineering Team. 4.2.4.1. As a part of the VE plan and procedure developed for the project, Contractor shall identify and submit for Contract Administrator’s approval a person who shall serve as the VE Team Coordinator (VETC) and shall prepare (with the assistance of Consultant and Contract Administrator) and submit a list of VE team members and their respective resumes representing Contractor, Consultant, Contract Administrator and those design and construction disciplines as may be required to complete the VE study effort. Subsequent changes or substitutions to the approved VE team shall be submitted in writing to Contract Administrator for approval. 4.2.4.2. VETC may be one of Contract Administrator’s, Consultant’s, or Contractor’s personnel or a consultant to Contractor. VETC shall be responsible for pre-study preparations, assembly of required study materials, coordination between VE team members, conducting and providing administration of team meetings. The VETC shall produce, audit, reproduce, and sign and distribute the final VE report and each VE Proposal. Project Title: Facility Name: Calendar Days Preconstruction Services through Permitting Bidding through GMP Reconciliation Preliminary Activities Construction Phase Final Completion Commissioning The Contract Administrator will be utilizing electronic media as the principal way it develops, communicates and archives information concerning its various construction programs for the County. To that end, County's standard Professional Services Agreements for Consultant services and Construction Agreements for construction services require submittal of documents produced on electronic media. The County requires Building Information Modeling (BIM) based design, documentation and construction deliverables, scaled to the County’s needs, especially for all major projects, including all new construction. These requirements shall also apply to County Managing General Contractor Agreements. In the event of a Design-Bid-Build construction delivery procurement, a second, modified BIM Project Execution Plan (BIM PxP) will be required to clarify the contractor’s involvement to further develop and complete the project BIM and all related activities. For projects utilizing BIM delivery, Consultant and Contractor will include native BIM format and Industry Foundation Class (IFC) electronic BIM deliverables in addition to all other electronic copies of hardcopy submissions and other files that support the intent of the project at all project milestones. Data interoperability is important to the County and is in line with our life cycle vision. Design Authoring software shall be used throughout the project lifecycle and shall be parametric. It is also important that nationally defined standards and protocols be used when developing BIM’s so that data may be normalized for multiple uses, now and in the future. Most current versions of standards such as the National BIM Standards, BIMForum LOD Specification Part 1 and Commentary, OmniClass, Uniformat and MasterFormat, should be used whenever possible. The Consultant will derive any two-dimensional (2D) deliverables from the Building Information Model. Further, it is the intent of the County to require open-standard facility management data as a project deliverable at all milestones. Project Consultant shall initiate and jointly develop BIM and Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) information to be completed by the Contractors throughout their corresponding phases of the project. Definitions and Identifications for BIM terms used in this Attachment, requirements for electronic media, the BIM/CADD Standard of Care, Level of Development (LOD), COBie and other requirements are presented in Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this Attachment 2. The detailed (BIM PxP) Template is provided in Section 4 and is required to be developed at project initiation to provide a master information and data management plan and assignment of roles and responsibilities for model creation and data integration. Wherever possible, the BIM PxP will be developed through a collaborative approach involving all Project Consultants, Contractors and applicable County staff. A small sample of the Model Progression Schedule/Agent Responsible Matrix Template (MPS) is provided in Section 5 and will be made available in its native Excel format upon request. An Introduction and directions for completion are described on the first page of the document. An important goal for the Construction Management Division is to not only enhance the value of all team efforts to efficiently design and construct lean, new and renovated construction projects using BIM, but also to assist in achieving a consistent use and development of BIM across multiple building types and for a wide range of County agencies. Predictable and uniform data will help to ensure a building dataset that will facilitate ongoing building operation and maintenance protocols, and perhaps someday be called upon to provide usable and reliable data to support other SMART City / SMART County initiatives.
