3. The Architect will prepare and maintain a project schedule after meeting with the
designated City project manager to determine appropriate submittal deadlines and

to coordinate project submissions.

4. Codes: The design team will provide design documentation meant to comply with
the formally adopted codes in effect at the time this contract is executed (2024 IBC

codes). Later changes to codes may be treated and new project scope.
This project will be broken down into phases:

1) Data collection (completed)

2) Programing (completed)

3) Master planning (completed)

4) Schematic Design w/ Concept Design
5) Design Development

6) Construction Documents / Permitting
7) Bidding support

8) Construction Administration

9) Warranty

B. Project Schedule:

Days to complete. Project Phase

95 days 4) Schematic Design w/ Concept Design
100 days 5) Design Development

90 days 6) Construction Documents (90%)

80 days Permitting (100% CD)

Concurrent w/ permit 7) Bidding support

660 days 8) Construction Administration

730 days 9) Warranty

Cc. Phase 4) Schematic Design Phase (30% design)

During schematic design, the architect develops study drawings, documents, or other media
that illustrate the concepts of the design and include spatial relationships, scale, and form
for the owner to review. The first portion of this phase will be to develop design themes,
concept plans, massing, and refine site requirements. This concept (10% completion) will
be approved by the city before proceeding with more detailed work.

Schematic design also is the research phase of the project, when different materials are

explored and options are tested. This phase produces a final schematic design, to which the
owner agrees after consultation and discussions with the architect. Opinion of probable cost
is provided by others.

11.

The project engineers (civil, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical,
technology, security) will propose solutions using drawings and sketches. Refer to
Deliverables List.

Landscape architects will refine park elements and lake requirements and will
propose solutions using drawings and sketches. Refer to Deliverables List.

The design team will continue to consult with City staff to ascertain information
needed to meet the requirements of the Project and will confirm such requirements
in writing and/or by sketch to the city.

The design team will prepare a specification Table of Contents indicating the
expected materials and products to be included in the design.

If a CMAR contractor is used, the design team will expect participation of the
CMAR in design meetings. Additionally, the CMAR should conduct cost studies of
different design alternatives and advise on construction logistics. The CMAR
should offer market insights into trade availability, long lead materials and
products, and other issues that could affect the price and quality of the project.

At the request of the Architect, the Project Manager will establish a pre-design
meeting for design review with the Development Services Department prior to
completion of schematic design. The Architect will submit copies the necessary
documents required for Pre-Application process and Design Review process of the
preliminary site plan to the Development Services Department at the time the
request for a meeting is made.

General concepts of office and dispatch furniture configurations will be confirmed
in SD phase for the purposes of confirming room sizes, orientation, etc..

After completion of the schematic design and studies, the Architect will conduct a
page-turn meeting to familiarize the city staff with the submittal contents.
Documents will be reviewed using Bluebeam Revue sessions. Printed copies will
be provided to team members upon request.

Design team will participate in SD cost estimate reconciliation with CMAR.

The Schematic Design Phase will be considered completed when the city has
approved the schematic design plans.

Refer to Deliverables List for this phase.

D. Phase 5) Design Development Phase (60% design)

1.

After the schematic design studies and construction cost estimate are approved in
writing by the city, the Architect will prepare the design development documents.
These documents will consist of preliminary plans, elevations, other drawings, and

specifications to fix and illustrate the size and character of the entire Project including
the kinds of materials, type of structure, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, security,
computer and telecommunications systems, and such other work as may be
appropriate. The goal of this phase is to finalize design decisions and product
selections.

2. The Architect will design the Project so that the construction will conform to the
requirements of Title 34, Arizona Revised Statutes regulating public buildings and
improvements.

3. The Architect will hold coordination meetings between the Architect and the
subconsultants to review and address coordination and integration of the plans provided
by the various disciplines.

4. After completion of the design development phase documents the Architect will
provide these to the city for review, comments and approval. The Architect will
conduct a page-turn meeting to familiarize the city staff with the submittal contents.

5. Design team will participate in DD cost estimate reconciliation with CMAR.

6. The Design Development Phase will be considered complete once the city has
approved the submitted design development plans, and agrees that the construction
cost estimate is within the established Project budget.

7. Refer to Deliverables List for this phase.

E. Phase 6) Construction Document/Permit Phase (100% design)

1. After the design development documents and construction cost estimate have been
approved in writing by the city, the design team will prepare final, permit-ready
construction drawings, plans, and specifications.

2. The design team will prepare drawings in BIM modeling software. The drawing format
will be a standard sheet size meeting city requirements. The city shall provide
standard cover sheets or other standard pages if they are to be incorporated.

3. The Architect will provide a standard construction contract General Conditions in the
Project specifications, which will be edited by the city.

4. Toward the end of the Construction Documents Phase and at other times, if
needed, the Architect will hold a plan coordination meeting between the Architect
and the subconsultants to review and address coordination and integration of the
plans provided by the various disciplines. The Architect will invite the Project Manager
to attend this meeting.

5. Upon completion of construction plans, specifications and contract documents, the
Architect will provide the design calculations, including structural, mechanical, electrical
and plumbing, and complete sets each of construction drawings, specifications and all
engineering contract documents for review and approval by the appropriate City
agencies. If desired, the Architect will conduct a page-turn meeting to familiarize the
city staff with the submittal contents.
