The DOR shall stamp, sign, and date each design drawing under their responsible discipline for Certified Final design documentation stage. The DOR shall be a prime contractor employee, be contracted directly by the prime contractor, or be an employee of a design firm that is contracted directly by the prime contractor.

In addition to these requirements, the prime contractor shall have a Design Project Manager (PM). This individual is responsible for overall integration of the contractor’s team DORs’ work.

All design professionals as specified in the TO requirements will need to comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and DoD (i.e., UFC) licensure requirements.

The contractor must submit for Government acceptance, a Design Quality Control Plan as required, before design may proceed. The Design Quality Control Plan must indicate the designer’s integral role throughout design and construction. Resumes of each DOR shall be included to demonstrate compliance with the RFP requirements. A list of designers, checkers, and independent reviewers must be included to demonstrate professional registration and three separate individuals working per discipline. The Design Quality Control Plan must address how drawings will be coordinated and finalized through as-built submission. The Design Quality Control Plan shall include the design configuration management addressing authorities, symbols/abbreviations, legends, naming, drawing revision controls and process, record file maintenance, and QC checklists.

The Certified Final Design shall be submitted only when ALL review comments have been addressed, incorporated into the design, and the final design has been accepted, and is ready for construction. It shall include signatures on each sheet and professional stamps from each DOR.

The design submittals shall include specifications; drawings; design analysis; Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E); Comprehensive Interior Design (CID); Structural Interior Design (SID); permit applications; confirmation notices and submittal registers. The Government will assist the contractor in finalizing the final draft DD1354; however, it is the contractor’s responsibility to provide.

6.1.3 User Requirements Design Meeting

The DORs are required to hold and document individual meetings with the Users on their respective areas of responsibility. The Architect and Interior Designer shall hold a furniture meeting with the Users. They shall discuss each room and the furniture requirements involved. The discussions from this meeting shall be reflected in the FF&E and SID submittals. Meeting records will be provided to the entire project delivery team. The Communication/Electrical Designer is required to hold a separate meeting with the Users and personnel from base. They shall discuss the IT requirements of the project. The discussions from this meeting shall be reflected in the Interim Design Submittal. Meeting minutes will be provided to the entire project delivery team.

The contractor’s team shall include a licensed professional geotechnical engineer to interpret the subsurface conditions and develop earthwork and foundation requirements and design parameters. Subsequent to award, the contractor is required to perform and provide a complete geotechnical exploration of the proposed site to develop the final design.

The geotechnical exploration shall be performed under the direction of a licensed professional engineer with at least 10 years’ experience specializing in geotechnical engineering. This exploration shall be the full responsibility of the contractor. It is the responsibility of the contractor to conduct a meeting with the PM subsequent to completion and evaluation of the site specific geotechnical exploration to enumerate any differences encountered that are not consistent with the information provided by the Government at the TO level and identify any required changes in the foundation type, structure, pavement and earthwork requirements from the provided Government information. The contractor is responsible for field verifying all information given. The contractor is also responsible for obtaining all information necessary to properly design and install all work.
