Specifications include, but are not limited to: The CONSULTANT shall investigate the status of the project and become familiar with concepts and commitments (typical sections, alignments, etc.) developed from prior studies and/or activities. If a Preliminary Engineering Report is available from a prior or current Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study, the CONSULTANT shall use the approved concepts as a basis for the design unless otherwise directed by the DEPARTMENT. Each Task Work Order Scope of Services to be issued will list the initial design considerations for each technical discipline or service applicable to the assigned project. The staff-hour estimates and negotiations for each Task Work Order shall follow the numerical hierarchy found in Sections 3 through 36 herein, or as otherwise utilized in the Task Work Order Scope of Services. The services described below are intended to indicate the major and most expansive possible efforts under this Agreement, but each such service and sub-activity described may be modified as the individual Task Work Orders are assigned. Some services described or referred to herein may never be authorized by a Task Work Order under this Agreement. For Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) facilities, SIS/NHS (National Highway System) standards shall be followed to the greatest extent feasible in the design of specific improvements. Detailed design criteria for the development and modernization of the SIS/NHS are based on standards established in the FDOT Design Manual. Specific SIS criteria can be found in Strategic Intermodal System Highway Component Standards and Criteria Procedure 525-30-260-a.
