PHASE 09: PREPARATION AND APPROVALS OF CONCEPTUAL AND CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS Based on the completed and approved Due Diligence, the KEITH Team will develop initial recommendations and ideas for review by the City, Staff and Stakeholders. The intent of this phase is to develop preliminary design recommendations and determine which of the ideas provide the best overall solution for the City’s goals. Typically, at this phase there will be a number of ideas or concepts developed for the project. Each will take a slightly contrasting approach – all of them will take input from the City, Stakeholders and appropriate team members to ensure the concepts represent the cumulative team’s desires for the project. The drawings and presentations prepared during this phase of design will be conceptual in nature, however they will be based on the detailed information gathered during the Due Diligence process. Presentations, documents and drawings produced as part of the conceptual design phase may include Illustrative plans, diagrams, before and after photo visualizations, 3D renderings, character imagery, opinions of probable costs, and other related graphic presentations to convey the overall intent of design. These documents will be reviewed and coordinated with City, staff, and all identified stakeholders. If determined appropriate by the Team, certain projects may also include public workshops or community input sessions. Only upon approval of a conceptual design will the project move forward to design development and construction drawings. Upon approval of the Conceptual Design, KEITH will prepare the Preliminary or Design Development drawings. The purpose of this phase is to work collaboratively with the design team to finalize the optimum arrangement of all program and site design elements. The following elements will be addressed during this phase of work: site program, landscape treatment and design approach for each development zone, tree inventory and analysis, hardscape and vehicular treatments, and circulation issues identified during conceptual programming. Documents produced as part of preliminary / design development may include plans, sections, and other information to describe the nature, quality and scope of site elements of the project. These drawings are developed in sufficient detail for submittal to the City’s Planning and Development Services Department for review and approval. Upon approval of the Preliminary / Design Development Documents, plans will be further developed into Construction Documents. Drawings will typically be provided in a 60% progress set for review and coordination, and then a final for Permit or 100% Construction Documentation. Ensuring that each phase of design receives complete review and approval by the City prior to moving on to the next phase streamlines the process and makes sure that all parties continue to work towards an agreed upon solution. This establishes a process that keeps the project moving forward in a timely and efficient manner, maintaining the agreed-upon schedule. 59RFQ No. 22-06-01
