A 2.0Design Deliverables OBVAMC Design Submissions - Statement of Task: 25% Schematic Design (SD) 50% Design Development (DD) 95% Design Development (DD) 100% Construction Documents (CD) NOTE 1: Additional detailed design submission requirements can be found in VA Guide PG-18-15. NOTE 2: The VA staff shall have a minimum of 16 calendar days to review and coordinate each AE design submissions. If the VA workload does not allow for a thorough review within the 16 calendar day timeframe, the AE shall not proceed to the next design phase until comments have been received from the VA. The AE will be entitled to a time only contract extension for the number of VA review days beyond 16 calendar days. 1.25% Schematic Design: Investigate and survey project site.
