The design will include Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction/Bid Documents per the A/E Design Submission Instructions Documents, Construction Administration Services, Technical Specifications, and Cost Estimates. Building 8 water intrusion correction shall be designed to accommodate the following functions based on the guides, manuals, and planning criteria.

C. A/E shall provide a preliminary construction duration time for planning purposes. This information shall be communicated to all bidders for their review and inclusion within their bids. It shall be communicated within the bid documents that the contractor will be required to review and provide any concerns regarding the projected construction duration.

D. A/E will be responsible for complete functional design and provide biddable documents meeting all the requirements.
