DD Form 1391 format shall be Adobe Acrobat Portable Data Dormat (.pdf). A. Planning Charrette Defined: A planning charrette is a fully collaborative, on- site, intensive project-planning workshop with broad participation by the users, installation organizations, and other interested organizations to obtain concensus on the project requirements, scope and cost. B. Purpose: The planning Charrette is an intensive 1-5 day effort to develop project requiremts and documentation in support of the Military Construction programming process which identify and resolve issues of standardization, functionality, location, scope, and cost which might otherwise affect execution of the project. When executed properly, the planning charrette will help produce high quality project documentation and rekiable budget cost estimates culminating in a completed DD Form 1391. C. Process: The planning charrette team will validate the facility requirements, prepare the project scope, site plan and cost estimate during an intensive workshop at the installation rather than doing an information gathering site vist and then completing the work back at the office. Preparing the cost estimate on site affords team members best available information. The A-E or the installation determined and related costs developed. The A-E will develop conceptual floor plans and functional layouts. Special kuse areas within the primary facility must be identidied and accounted for within the cost estimate. Some follow up work will be required following the A-E charrette decision brief to the installation commenader or representative, but the technical products will be essentially complete at the conclusion of the charrette. 3SELECTION CRITERIA: Must be project specific. Professional qualifications and Specialized experience are to be the two primary considerations. List in the order appropriate for the particular project.333. SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-d are primary.
