Specifications include, but are not limited to: • Gain a thorough understanding of the project; • Prepare, update, and follow an overall project schedule and approach; • Work together through plan and specification development to streamline the design process and ensure the constructability of each of the project’s segments; • Estimate and discuss the construction costs of the project at various milestones; • Estimate construction costs and schedule impacts of proposed concepts for evaluation; and • Negotiate, in good faith, with the ICE and CPF to reconcile variances in project estimates. Following execution of a contract, the PDB delivery process will occur in two phases: • Phase I: Preconstruction • Phase II: Final Design and Construction During the Phase I: Preconstruction contract, the Design-Builder collaboratively works with the Department and UTA to validate existing design concepts, propose alternatives, gather additional information, evaluate construction phasing alternatives, estimate construction costs, and design the Project to the level necessary to price the Phase II: Final Design and Construction contract. At the end of Phase I, the Design-Builder develops a CPP to be negotiated with the Department and UTA in preparation for the Phase II contract.
