ITEMS OF PARTICIPATION IN THE DESIGN AND PRECONSTRUCTION PROCESS
- Development of User Requirement Specifications (URS) Basis of Design (BOD) Documents for Cleanroom facilities
- Generation of the design criteria
- Contamination Control Analysis to determine the cleanroom requirements for the facility
- Development of a Build Clean Protocol for the Cleanrooms
- Design Reviews and Compliance Analysis
- Constructability Reviews
- Scope of Work Development
- Schedule and Sequence of Construction Planning
- Sourcing and qualification of HVAC System Equipment to allow for controlled competitive bidding of that equipment
- Sourcing and qualification of Cleanroom construction materials to allow for controlled competitive bidding of those materials
- Sourcing and qualification of qualified trade subcontractors to perform the most stringent construction tasks of the facility. This would include analysis of the capabilities of the local subcontractor network and potential development of joint ventures with national subcontractors to create the most cost effective delivery of the project while insuring technical experience and performance
- Participation in the programming process to determine design features that can provide cost benefits separate from construction costs (i.e. schedule acceleration, accelerated depreciation, tax benefits, operational costs vs. capital costs etc.)
- Budget development, value engineering, budget conscious design participation.
- Participation in conceptual design meetings to provide experience and decision budget impact real time
- Participation in design development and detailed design to incorporate constructability reviews, facility integration, and schedule impact allowing for the design to proceed to the furthest possible point prior to contractor bidding allowing for the most cost effective bid process
- Development of a master commissioning plan and individual commissioning documents and protocols.
