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. These may result i n 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 draw ings and specifications. Amplifying drawings, specifications,
amendments, change orders and cost estimates shall be prepared per the provisions and
standards set forth in this A&E Guide. In such cases, the A&E shall assure through
discussions with the RO ICC 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 three (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 Cherry Point an d 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. If reimbursable consultation
is required, the PM will address during A&E contract negoti ations.
