 c. Scheduling and Submittals - Project schedules are established at the outset to
meet the customer's operational commitments and inserted in our master
scheduling process to balance our workload. Adherence to the established
schedule or notification of need for change is imperative. Incomplete and/or
uncoordinated submittals are a major problem and will not be accepted. During
fee negotiations, the Designer of Record should assure that the preparation period
is adequate to allow for a thorough review by the firm prior to submission.
d. Design Quality Control - Design Quality is a high priority and is the
responsibility of the A&E firm. At times it appears that A&E firms rely on a
Government review to provide quality control for the plans and specifications.
This, of course, usually delays the return of submittals, involves additional time on
our part, and often ultimately results in a poor set of bid documents. Coordination
among the various disciplines as well as sections of the specifications is often a
major problem that needs particular improvement. It is expected that your control
program must be the primary discipline to deliver the level of design quality
expectation. Time spent preparing a quality design package will reduce redesign
effort and time spent resolving problems during the construction contract phase.
