The level of detail for this estimate shall be consistent with the degree of completeness of the drawings being submitted. For detailed elements, ""lump sum"" or ""allowance"" figures will not be accepted. Preliminary Design and Analysis A. Preliminaries A. Preliminary drawings for construction projects are a means of identifying alternative approaches to correcting physical and functional deficiencies. The development of these drawings is an interactive process between VA staff and the Engineering Firm in order to produce a narrative and graphical description of possible program alternatives. As appropriate, the VA will make available prior to contract negotiations a tentative priority list of functional areas which may be included in the project, and a statement task. B. Preliminary Meeting: Prior to beginning any design work, a preliminary meeting will be conducted between the A/E Firm and VA staff. At this stage, the scope of work will be finalized and agreed to by all VA services involved in this project. At this point the A/E Firm will have surveyed the existing facility to verify all existing conditions and become familiar with all deficiencies that need to be corrected. The A/E Firm will write a summary of the meeting and submit it to the Contracting Officer for distribution and approval by the appropriate staff. C. The Engineering Firm in collaboration with VA staff, will illustrate in sketch form various possible program alternatives and refine them based on continuing interaction with the VA project team. The Engineering Firm will then complete and present alternative architectural solutions which are functionally and architecturally viable for consideration. The VA will select the final concept and subsequently identify the approved scope to be developed in the second preliminary (100%) review stage. D. The VA considers originality and imaginative design an essential part of the Engineering Firm's responsibility. The total environmental approach is a necessity to all planning. Site, structures, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, open and screened areas and their relationships to each other should be combined to produce a plan that is functional and aesthetically pleasing. E. Complete conceptual alternatives must be displayed on the preliminary drawings. The work may include the division of an alternative into distinct parts, each of which has an identified priority. The preliminary drawings must, therefore, be developed so that irrespective of which parts (in priority order) are selected for further development in the Working Drawing phase, the solution shall provide a well designed facility with respect to functional operation, construction phasing, minimized disruption of existing hospital operation, and compatibility with structure and utilities between (1) existing facilities; (2) those for imminent construction; and, (3) those with low priority for future construction. F. A narrative to accompany the drawings shall identify construction phasing which will be necessary to permit continuous operation of critical hospital operations. In addition, areas of new construction and renovation shall be shown. A detailed listing of submission requirements for phasing is included in a later paragraph. G. Subsequent to each VA review of the Engineering Firm's work, The Engineering Firm shall incorporate VA recommendations into the Preliminary Drawings. H.
