CHAPTER 7 DESIGN REVIEWS
7.1
DESIGN REVIEWS.
7-1.1
Activity, Command And Major Claimant Reviews.
There should be adequate liaison between the activity and the design agent through
participation by appropriate activity personnel in review of design through the early
Design Development design stages. The design agent is responsible for architectural
and engineering aspects of the project to ensure reasonable facility cost appropriate for
the functions to be performed. The activity, together with the systems command or
major claimant, as deemed necessary, will review the functional aspects of the facility
design developed by the Facility Engineering Command. Resolve required changes
before proceeding to the later Design Development design stages. Change of
functional requirements after the early Design Development design stages seriously
affects the completion date and design cost of the project. If the user offers purely
technical comments, the ultimate responsibility of the design agent for these features
should be explained.
7-1.2
Design Agent Reviews.
Contract drawings and specifications prepared under the direction of the design agent
are reviewed and given final approval by the design agent.
For design-build projects, the design agent is the Design Quality Control (DQC)
Manager. The specific responsibilities of the DQC Manager are outlined in Sections
01331N, and 01451N of the Design-Build RFP. The DQC Manager is a key person for
the design, who is subordinate to the QC Manager, and is responsible for the design
integrity, professional design standards and all engineering services required by the
design-build contract and RFP. The DQC Manager implements the DQC plan and must
remain on staff until completion of the project. The DQC Manager has the responsibility
for being cognizant of and assuring that all design documents on the project have been
developed in accordance with the RFP, and been properly coordinated.
The Facility Engineering Commands have developed and implemented, in addition to
the normal technical adequacy review, a procedure to establish that the A/E or DQC
has accomplished the required final coordination review. The Activity is to:
Perform a spot-check of the interdisciplinary coordination of the final plans
and specifications.
Require the DOR to include the final coordination review check-set of
plans and specifications with the final submittal.
Return the plans and specifications to the DOR for rework if the spot-
check or other procedure indicates inadequate quality control by the A/E,
or if design errors or omissions are found.
Process payment for final plans and specifications after adequate quality
control has been accomplished by the A/E.
