We assume the County will supply <br /> conformed A/E construction documentation and that these drawings are accurate. <br /> This phase shall produce documents that illustrate and describe the refinement of the project design, <br /> establishing projectscope,form,size,materials and appearance,as documented through plans,sections <br /> and typical construction details. <br /> CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS: <br /> The construction documents shall be based on approved schematic design/design development <br /> documentation and shall set forth in detail the requirements for construction of the project. These <br /> documents may include, but not be limited to, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, framing plans, <br /> elevations, sections, typical wall sections, miscellaneous details and specifications sufficient for <br /> permitting, cost negotiation and construction. Engineering fees are included and will be required for <br /> permitting. Required engineering services will include structural, plumbing,mechanical,electrical,and fire <br /> protection. <br /> PERMIT ADMINISTRATION: <br /> Based on previous discussions, and in light of the accelerated schedule, informal bids are anticipated at <br /> this time. The architect will work with the builder and local jurisdiction to achieve a permit in as timely a <br /> manner as possible. <br /> CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION: <br /> The Architect shall provide administration of the contract between the Owner and the Contractor. As a <br /> representative of the Owner, the Architect shall visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of the <br /> Contractor's operations, or as otherwise agreed by the Owner and Architect. Typically,we visit the site <br /> once a week and whenever the need arises. The Architect shall not be responsible for the construction <br /> means, methods, techniques, procedures, as these are solely the responsibility of the Contractor. The <br /> Architect shall review contractor pay requests and advise the Owner as to their relative <br /> completeness. The Architect shall review any contractor submittals, RFIs, ASI's, produce meeting <br /> minutes, conduct monthly and preconstruction meetings and report all info to the owner and the <br /> contractor to ensure that they are in keeping with the construction documentation. The architect <br /> anticipates a not to exceed four-week construction period. If the construction period should exceed this <br /> time frame, the Architect shall provide additional construction administration services as an additional <br /> service, upon written approval by the Owner. <br /> Smith Sinnett and our consultants will begin to set up project drawings that will be used throughout the <br /> project. With each phase,the drawings will become more detailed and developed. <br /> SCHEDULE AND DESIGN FEES: <br /> We understand the quick schedule and we will do all we can to accommodate this schedule. We can <br /> begin immediately. We will attempt the following time frame, all of which will be dependent on quick <br /> stakeholder decisions and timely agency approvals. <br /> 4600 Lake Boone Trail, Suite 205 1 Raleigh, NC 27607 1919.781.8582 1 HUB Certified I www.smithsinnett.com <br />
