A.
All documents shall be coordinated not only to ensure coverage
but to eliminate contradictions and duplications.
B.
To avoid conflicts over ambiguous terms and statements, the
terms used on drawings and specifications must be identical.
The "roofing system" in the specifications shall not become a
"built-up roof" on the drawings.
C.
Names of rooms and departments also play an important role in
coordination. Names on drawings must be the same as those in
the design program, as they impact not only finishes and
equipment, but also construction details and mechanical &
electrical systems.
2.9
REVIEWS: Your contract includes designated specific intervals for
review of the development of your work. These reviews are joint
consultations to exchange information, reconcile differing views
on objectives, judge the quality and completeness at each stage,
assure that previously noted changes have been incorporated, and
warn of unacceptable departures from criteria or standards during
the development of design. They are not for the purpose of
discovering errors or omissions in detail. The quality, accuracy,
coordination, and completeness of the RFP documents remain your
responsibility (See VA Program Guide PG-18-15, A/E Submission
Instructions).
2.10
SEISMIC DESIGN: VA Policy for design on nonstructural elements of
buildings to resist damage caused by earthquakes is set forth in
"Seismic Design Requirements".
2.11
COLOR RENDERINGS: Renderings, if required by your contract, shall
show the true colors of the materials to be used in the
construction of the project and the surroundings, including road
systems and planting groups, in sufficient detail to predict the
final appearance of the project. Show all penthouses,
architectural screens, roof enclosures, skylights, stacks, and
breechings that will be visible from the station point by accurate
perspective projection. Show roof-mounted equipment unless hidden
by architectural screens. On aerial perspectives, show major
masses of mechanical equipment located behind architectural
screens in block form. If exact size, color and appearance of
exposed roof-mounted equipment is not known, show approximately as
accurate as possible or a drawing of similar equipment on the
rendering(s). Mount the rendering(s) on 750 mm high by 1000 mm
wide (30" by 40") bristol board mat. Provide borders of 125 mm
(5") at the top and sides and 150 mm (6") at the bottom. The
project manager will advise you as to the appropriate labeling for
renderings, which should be lettered on the mat rather than on the
rendering itself.
3.
DRAWINGS:
3.1
Provide a temporary index to drawings for all review submissions
except the final, which is to be permanent. The index, on
standard size drawings, will be part of the RFP documents.
3.2
On the 1:100 (1/8") scale architectural floor plans show all fixed
items of equipment, shelving, casework, etc., which occupy floor
space (and any items which require utilities). Proper symbols
