EXHIBIT A, SCOPE OF SERVICES

ATTACHMENT 1:

BIM and Electronic Media Submittal Requirements

Introduction The Contract Administrator will be utilizing electronic media as the principal way it develops, communicates and archives information concerning its various construction programs for the County. To that end, County's standard Professional Services Agreements for Consultant services and Construction Agreements for construction services require submittal of documents produced on electronic media. The County requires Building Information Modeling (BIM) based design, documentation and construction deliverables, scaled to the County’s needs, especially for all major projects, including all new construction.

These BIM processes are achieved through collaborative efforts of the Consultant and the Contractor and generally conclude with the completion of the Consultant’s Design Model and a Contractor’s As-Constructed Model as outlined in the Scope of Work and in the BIM Project Execution Plan (BIM PxP).

For projects utilizing BIM delivery, Consultant and Contractor will provide native BIM format and Industry Foundation Class (IFC) electronic BIM deliverables in addition to all other electronic copies of hardcopy submissions and other files that support the intent of the project at all project milestones. Data interoperability is important to the County. Design Authoring software shall be used throughout the project lifecycle and shall be parametric. It is also important that nationally defined standards and protocols be used when developing BIM’s so that data may be normalized for multiple uses, now and in the future. Most current versions of standards such as the National BIM Standards, BIMForum LOD Specification Part 1 and Commentary, OmniClass, Uniformat and MasterFormat, should be used whenever possible.

The Consultant will derive any two-dimensional (2D) deliverables from the Building Information Model. Further, it is the intent of the County to require open-standard facility management data as a project deliverable at all milestones. An important goal for the Construction Management Division is to not only enhance the value of all team efforts to efficiently design and construct lean, new and renovated construction projects using BIM, but also to assist in achieving a dependable use and development of BIM across multiple building types and for a wide range of County agencies.

Predictable, reliable, and uniform data will help to ensure a building dataset that will facilitate ongoing building operation and maintenance protocols. Project Consultant shall initiate and jointly develop BIM and Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) information to be completed by the Contractors throughout their corresponding phases of the project.

Definitions and Identifications for BIM terms used in this Attachment, requirements for electronic media, the BIM/CADD Standard of Care, LOD, COBie and other requirements are presented in Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this Attachment 1. The detailed BIM PxP Template is provided in Section 4

RLI/RFP/Contract # ________ BCF #202 7/1/25 (Locked) Page 2 of 62 and is required to be developed at project initiation to provide a master information and data management plan and assignment of roles and responsibilities for model creation and data integration. Wherever possible, the BIM PxP will be developed through a collaborative approach involving all Project Consultants, Contractors and applicable County staff. A small sample of the Model Progression Schedule/Agent Responsible Matrix Template (MPS) is provided in Section 5 and will be made available in its native Excel format upon request. The County template includes minimum LODs but will be adapted if needed for the Project. An Introduction and directions for completion are described on the first page of the document.

Section 3 BIM/CADD Standards of Care

3.1 General Provisions:

3.1.1 The Model(s) shall be developed to include the systems described below as they would be built, the processes of installing them, and to reflect final As-Constructed construction conditions. The deliverable 3D Model at all phases shall be developed to include as many of the systems described below as are necessary and appropriate to the design/construction stage. The BIM shall be provided in an editable form and from its inception shall include automatic model positioning using a common reference point (Point of Origin), based on “Florida State Plane Coordinates” derived from the project survey.

3.1.2 The Model shall be developed using Building Information Modeling (“BIM”) supplemented with Computer Aided Drafting and Design (“CADD”) content as necessary to produce a complete set of Construction Documents.

3.1.3 Provide all Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Space Management and Program Validation in conformance to the General Service Administration’s (GSA) “Building Information Modeling Guide 02 -Spatial Program Validation,” dated May 21, 2015 or later. Provide space identification, charts and information in conformance with this Guide.

3.1.4 The parties shall utilize the appropriate Levels of Development (LOD) described below in completing the Model, which establishes the required LOD for each Model Element at each phase of the Project.

3.1.5 The following Level of Development (LOD) descriptions are summaries of Level Of Development Specification for Building Information Models as developed by BIMForum.

(http://bimforum.org/lod), current edition (2017 or later). Each subsequent LOD builds on the previous level and includes all the characteristics of previous levels. See also “Section 5 BIM Model Progression Schedule” for examples and graphic descriptions of Levels of Development. The following list is a simplified summary of the adopted Levels of Development:

• LOD 100 elements are not geometric presentations. They may be symbols or other generic representations of information that can be derived from other model elements. Any information derived from LOD 100 elements must be http://bimforum.org/lod

RLI/RFP/Contract # ________ BCF #202 7/1/25 (Locked) Page 17 of 62 considered approximate.

• LOD 200 elements are represented graphically but are generic placeholders, e.g., volume, quantity, location, or orientation. Any information derived from LOD 200 elements must be considered approximate.

• LOD 300 elements are graphically represented as specific systems, objects, or assemblies from which quantity, shape, size, location, and orientation can be measured directly, without having to refer to non-modeled information such as notes or dimension callouts.

• LOD 350 elements are enhanced beyond LOD 300 by the addition of information regarding interfaces with other building systems. For example, an LOD 350 masonry wall element would include jamb conditions, bond beams, grouted cells, dowel locations, and joints – information that enables the model user to coordinate the wall element with other systems in the structure.

• LOD 400 elements are modeled at sufficient detail and accuracy for fabrication of the represented component.

NOTE - County and the LOD Specification do not address LOD 500 since that LOD relates to field verification and is not an indication of progression to a higher level of geometry or information.

3.1.6 The parties shall utilize the appropriate Levels of Development (LOD) described below in completing the Model, which establishes the required LOD for each Model Element at each phase of the Project. LODs and Model Definition: There is no such thing as an “LOD ### model.” As previously noted, project models at any stage of delivery will invariably contain elements and assemblies at various levels of development. As an example, it is not logical to require an “LOD 200 model” at the completion of the schematic design phase. Instead, the “100% SD Model” will contain modeled elements at LOD 100 as well as various other levels of development. Consultants will be required to submit a LOD Model Progression as part of the Project Execution Plan.
