1. An increasing number of ICT projects are driven by lean construction management and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) 2. In order for ICT design professionals to identify the best solutions for the client's needs, they may have to provide, a. Preliminary budget numbers b. Milestone planning. (Retain a scheduling consultant) 3. A good PM has: c. Good communications skills d. Ability to coordinate with diverse groups 4. Procurement = bulk purchases versus just-in-time 5. The ICT designer may be required to: e. Review purchase order and packing slips/invoices and compare to approved submittal f. Visual inspect material. 6. Basic requirements of a Scope of Work (SOW) g. What needs to be performed h. When the work will be completed 7. Outlining the Scope of Work (SOW) i. Context of the project j. Technical specifications 8. PERT uses network diagrams 9. CPM uses a similar network diagram 10. Analogous -- Analogous estimates are based ion the time or cost it took to perform similar work in the past 11. The ICT designer needs to develop a custom closeout plan for each project 12. Track/document closeout documentation submittals, including: k. Sapare sparts l. Training records 13. Architect -- Hired by the owner 14. Engineer -- A licensed design professional 15. Schematic Design (SD) = Sketches, preliminary cost 16. Design Documentation (DD) = Conflicts are resolved early in the process 17. An ICT designer may be tasked with: m. Evaluating the ICT design documentation for standards and code compliance 18. Design Phase = Creating a response evaluation 19. Architect, engineer, consultant, designer -- The design team produces any addenda required to clarify the contract documents. The design team also may participate during the evaluation or negotiation of the bids and help the owner determine the successful bidder by considering alternates and submission 20. Design-Bid-Build = Owner and design professional will review these bids to award contract 21. Two types of bids are awarded: Low-bid and negotiated-bid 22. The CIT designer's responsibility is to ensure compliance with the CD's 23. Architect, engineer, and consultant -- The design team's role during construction usually includes inspection and observation of the work with the owner's representative, which ensures that the work complies with the contract documents. The design team reviews submittals, interprets the contract documents, and modifies the contract documents as required. The design team also may: n. Coordinate with stakeholders to resolve conflicts o. Stipulated sum -- Fixed price p. Cost plus fee -- Reimbursed for Acs plus fee 24. Field order -- minor change 25. Change order -- formal document 26. If a specific material item is not available because of shipping to manufacturing delays, alternatives may be in order 27. In the event of submittal rejection, the ICT designer may need to: q. Review of contract requirements r. Request a variance 28. Items that the contractor will likely need to submit are: s. Shop drawings t. Test results 29. Owner's staff responsibility of finalizing move-in and first-use activities 30. Architect -- final acceptance and contract closeout activities 31. CM -- final acceptance and contract closeout activities 32. Elements of telecommunications designs should include three elements u. Specifications v. Drawings w. Cost estimates 33. Division 06 -- Wood, Plastics, and Composites 34. Division 26 -- Electrical 35. Division 27 -- Communications 36. Division 28 -- Electrical Safety and Security 37. A spreadsheet should be prepared listing each task with a cost placed beside them 38. Fees -- Permits and inspections 39. The ICT designer's role: x. Discussing design concerns y. Resolution of unforeseen conditions 40. The GC's project superintendent is critical in synchronizing the daily activities of all trades through daily or weekly meetings 41. The GC's decisions shall be final 42. Kickoff meetings z. Project scheduling and completion date a. RFI process 43. Before starting construction, the PM and field superintendent typically hold a mandatory preconstruction conference with all contractors involved in the project to address the following topics: b. Project closeout procedures 44. Weekly progress meetings: c. Review all open RFIs 45. Project Closeout = Conduct final ICXT site observation to ensure that standard and code compliance, design intent, and client requirements are met. This includes: d. Generate/update punch list, issues, and outstanding tasks to be addressed e. Communicate/document anomalies to responsible parties
