The services may also include bench scale and prototype modeling, development of database and web-enabled design criteria support tools; (b) Quality Control Services: These shall include constructability/quality reviews where issues arise during design or construction. Generally, issues will be associated with adequacy of criteria definition; (c) Cost Engineering Support Services: These shall include development of parametric building cost models and preliminary and detailed project estimates; life cycle, economic, risk analyses and other cost engineering support services; and (d) Value Engineering: Studies may be conducted at any point in the planning or design process using either the NAVFAC Function Analysis Concept Design (FACD) methodology or conventional 40-hour team methodology. Best Value will be determined on life cycle cost.
