PHASE 2:
Once the design approach is finalized electrical, lighting and control documents will be produced
using an ACAD format. Specifications and system design cut sheets and documents will also be
produced along with varying options and budget considerations. A comment resolution matrix will
be prepared to align with the delivered engineering documents and approaches.
Progress issues shall be at 75% DD completion and a final 100% DD completion. We anticipate a
timeline for this second phase of 120 days. Progress meetings with the City shall be scheduled
within this time line to review the recommended design and engineering approaches. We anticipate
3 design meetings will be required during this phase. In addition, along with monthly billings, a
progress schedule update will be included.
When final acceptance is given, 100% DD documents and specifications shall be produced. These
PS&E documents should take a two-week timeline and will be the final deliverable with the
comment resolution matrix.
