17 <br />Revised 01/24 <br />Attachment B - Description of Basic Services <br />PROGRAMMING/SCHEMATIC DESIGN/DESIGN DEVELOPMENT: <br />Smith Sinnett Architecture will work with and coordinate all members of the design team to evaluate the owner’s requests and begin <br />developing an approach to design and construction of the proposed improvements. During the programming phase, Smith Sinnett will meet <br />with the owner’s designated stakeholders to fine tune the details of the renovations and improvements. During the schematic design/design <br />development phase we would anticipate attending meetings with the owner to present design progress and collect owner feedback. <br />The following SD/DD portion is defined as the architectural work will be produced in Revit and Autocad, therefore it is likely to be more <br />detailed than a typical schematic design phase and moves well into the design development phase. This phase shall produce documents that <br />illustrate and describe the refinement of the project design, establishing project scope, form, size, materials, and appearance, as documented <br />through plans, sections and typical construction details. <br />CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS: <br />The construction documents shall be based on approved schematic design/design development documentation and shall set forth in detail the <br />requirements for construction of the project. These documents may include, but not be limited to, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, <br />elevations, sections, typical wall sections, miscellaneous details, and specifications sufficient for permitting, cost negotiation and <br />construction. <br />BID ADMINISTRATION: <br />The Architect will assist the Owner in the bidding and/or the negotiation process, if required. The Architect will evaluate the bid(s) and <br />review and approve Owner/Contractor contract documents. The Architect will coordinate and distribute all necessary addenda. The Architect <br />will produce all necessary Owner/Contractor contracts. <br />CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION: <br />The Architect shall provide administration of the contract between the Owner and the Contractor. As a representative of the Owner, the <br />Architect shall visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of the Contractor’s operations, or as otherwise agreed by the Owner and <br />Architect. We will visit the site once a week and/or 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 Architect shall review contractor pay <br />requests and advise the Owner as to their relative completeness. The Architect shall review any contractor submittals, RFIs, ASI’s, produce <br />meeting minutes, conduct monthly and preconstruction meetings, and report all info to the owner and the contractor to ensure that they are in <br />keeping with the construction documentation <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 24C23513-67DE-4E6D-A730-E6E3EF76B03F
