C--Replace Air Diffusers

SCOPE: 1. The Architect/Engineer shall provide design services necessary to furnish: Schematics, Design Development, Construction Documents, Technical Specifications, Construction Period Services, Site Visits, Cost Estimates, As-Built Documentation, and all other related information for Project 553-10-114, Replace Air Diffusers, at the VA Medical Center in Detroit, Michigan. This project designs for the replacement of building supply and return ceiling diffusers, totaling approximately 5,000, and the associated 6 feet of duct work for each diffuser at the John D. Dingell VA Medical center in Detroit, Michigan. The design project will define appropriate methods of work, phasing, and infection control procedures to be in place, as well as defined work hours. " The required duration to produce Construction Documents shall be 120 days from the Notice to Proceed. " The Construction Project is planned for FY 2011. 2. VA Construction Cost Estimate: $200,000.00 3. Mileage consideration 200 miles. 4. Coordinate all activities with the VA Medical Center (VAMC). Hold informal meetings (upon mutual consent of the VA and the A/E) at the VAMC to discuss the design and related issues. Continue to expand contacts by telephone, rough sketch studies and other means of communication with the purpose of finalizing a general design approach to be followed. 5. Final approved Schematic documents shall be the basis for the development of the Design Development phase. Likewise, final approved Design Development documents shall be the basis for the development of the Construction Documents phase. The VAMC must approve any changes from each set of documents before the A/E proceeds to the next phase. 6. VA will review all submittals for functional and aesthetic relationships. However, no further functional decisions are anticipated after the Design Development phase. 7. Provide a design narrative/analysis for each technical discipline (e.g., architectural, mechanical, fire protection, etc.) which describes the intent of each discipline with schematic and/or design development submission. 8. NA 9. Provide individually packaged drawings for each submission to each unit specified in the "Distribution of A/E Materials" section. 10. Submit a complete set of final approved drawings incorporating all revisions, after completion of the Schematics and Design Development stages. 11. Submit final drawings (Bid Documents) on CD to be used with the AutoCAD version at the VAMC. Submit instructions on the use of the CD along with a complete listing of all layers that are used. 12. The A/E shall submit documents as indicated below: ____ITEM______ DUE DATE 50% Submission 30 100% Submission 15 Final Submission 7
