SECTION 8.
POST DESIGN SERVICES
8.1
CONSULTATION DURING CONSTRUCTION
8.1.1
GENERAL
The A&E shall provide consultation services during the construction period as
well as the design period. Such consultation may or may not be reimbursable as
follows:
A. Non-Reimbursable Consultation: Under paragraph 3(g) of Section 01011,
"General Paragraphs", of the A&E Contract, the A&E shall promptly furnish
consultation services without additional compensation. Such consultation typically
occurs in the form of a Request for Information (RFI) from the ROICC. Typically, RFIs
include providing clarification of the intent of the drawings and specifications in
response to questions which routinely arise during the course of construction and may
result in preparation of amplifying drawings, specifications, amendments, change
orders and cost estimates to correct errors, omissions, inconsistencies between drawings
and specifications, conflicts in dimensions, lack of detail or poor design quality in the
drawings and specifications. Amplifying drawings, specifications, amendments,
change orders and cost estimates shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions
and standards set forth in this A&E Guide. In such cases, the A&E shall assure through
discussions with the ROICC the timing required for preparation of such documents to
minimize delay to the construction. It is expected that the A&E will provide a response
to an RFI not later than 3 working days after notification. Where the response to an RFI
requires additional time, the A&E shall notify the ROICC as to the expected date of
response.
B. Reimbursable Consultation: In addition to non-reimbursable consultation,
reimbursable A&E services may be required for specialized consultation with
LANTNAVFACENGCOM and ROICC personnel either at the site of construction or in
the A&E's office regarding matters of a nature not included under "General
Paragraphs" of the A&E Contract. Such consultation includes:
(1) Consultation regarding unforeseen problems or questions during
construction.
(2) Consultation on critical items during construction, including, but not
limited to:
