2. DESIGN DELIVERABLES....................................................................................................................................................

2.1 Design Deliverable Requirements

This section contains information regarding what is required from the Design Professional during the design

process. It represents the mini mum acceptable level of document perfor mance and quality. These

requirements are no t intended to add to the basic de sign contract but rather clarify and de fine the

expe ctations under the terms of the cont ract. Please see Appendix M for Capital Management’s Design

Process.

2.1.1 State of Iowa Board of Regents Submissions

The Design Prof essional is requi red to assist with the creation and printing of the Schematic Design Booklet

for submission to the State of Iowa Board of Regents for pr ojects with budgets exceeding the minimum

thr eshol ds. The booklet requirements vary depending on the size, type and complexity of the project but

will include a project location map; colored floor plans; elevations and/or color rende rings to convey the

look and feel of the spaces; basic budget and sche dule information and othe r documents requested to he lp

the State of Iowa Board of Regents understand the character and scope of t he p roject.

2.1.2 Schematic Design

The schematic design documents should illustrate the general scope of the project and the relations hips of

the project components. The schematic design documents are conceptual in nature and the drawings are

gene rally pr esented as a single-line type drawing showing the type of cons truction, materials and provide a

visual organization o f the overall project.

The required inf ormation should be assembled into a project booklet or bi nder with drawings and submitted

to the Owner’s Representative with the completed Sche matic Design Required Deliverables Checklist

(Appendix A). When the schematic design submission is approved by the Owner the signed checklist will

be sent back to t he D esign P rofessional as f ormal permission to begin design development.

The minimum acceptable level of information r equired f or t he schematic de sign submission is as follows:

1. Written Requirements
   a) Detailed code analysis indicating the applicable c odes, s tandards, guidelines, construction types, occupa nc y
   classification, seismic requirement s and relevant assumptions.
   b) Current space program signed off by the department. The program will include net square feet (NSF), and
   departmental gross square feet.
   c) Cost estimate with a detailed explanation of any variance to the Owner’s construction cost estimate.
   d) LEED checklist indicating which points project will attempt or not attempt and which point are being
   evaluated.
   e) Updated project schedule, include plan (if necessary) for meeting the Owner’s milestone dates.
   f) Document survey of mechanical, electrical, plumbing and telecom systems and any issues that may affect this
   project.
