LANTNAVFACENGCOM A&E GUIDE
negotiations for corrective work. The A&E shall participate as a non-voting technical
advisor to the Government negotiating board. Inability to obtain agreement from the
A&E as to financial responsibility or A&E unwillingness to participate in negotiations
shall not be cause for delay or remedial construction contract action by the ROICC.
As an alternate to the above, the A&E (where design error is clearly at fault)
may discharge the firm's financial responsibility through negotiation with, and direct
payment to, the contractor. This action must be participated in and sanctioned by the
ROICC.
2.3
SCOPE
The A&E is restricted to the authorized contract scope of work provided in the
contract's Appendix A. Deviations from the scope include incorporating
embellishments within the project scope, increasing the cost above programmed
amounts for the project, increases in area, major changes in construction criteria, the
inclusion of unauthorized buildings or areas, selections of specific systems or
equipment without economic or technical evaluation, or introduction of special
equipment. (In no case will changes to the contract scope be made at the activity
level or by the PM. The A&E's responsibility is directly to the Contracting Officer
and any requested deviation from the scope or elaborations within the scope must
be brought to the attention of the Project Manager.)
It is the A&E's contractual responsibility to design a facility which can be
constructed within the funds available and meets the design energy targets. Refer to
Energy Conservation in the Basis of Design Section.
During the progress of the work, the A&E may expect minor changes in
criteria within the general scope of the project and should make necessary adjustments
accordingly. Generally the PEP or 35% design submittal is intended to clarify and
establish specified requirements of the project. Incorporation of Value Engineering
(VE) comments of minor consequence, systems justified on pay back which should have
been evaluated during PEP or 35% design preparation, and changes in functional
layout occurring during review are considered within scope of the contract. Should
major changes in the scope of work be required, a contract modification will be issued.
A member or individual of the A&E firm shall be designated as Project
Manager (PM) and LANTNAVFACENGCOM shall be so notified, and as such the
person shall be fully cognizant of the requirements of the performance schedule. The
PM will work directly with the assigned LANTNAVFACENGCOM PM who will
furnish design guidance necessary for the successful execution of the work.
