Section 12-3-20-500.13 - DESIGN CONCEPT APPROVAL

Upon approval by the Bureau of the developed Design Concept, the Professional will prepare and submit to the Bureau Schematic Design drawings of the approved concept which include, but are not limited to:

1. The basic design approach drawn at an agreed upon scale

2. Site location in relationship to the existing environment

3. Relationship to master plans

4. Circulation

5. Organization of building functions

6. Functional/aesthetic aspects of the design concepts under study

7. Graphic description of critical details

8. Visual and functional relationship

9. Compatibility of the surrounding environment

Schematic drawings will clearly show the Project's basic design and need for elaboration beyond the requirements set forth in the text:

1. Site Plan: The following note will appear on the site plan: Based on topographic survey dated(Date) or Based on site documents furnished by(Name).

2. Floor Plan: The following note will appear on the floor plans: Based on program requirements dated(Date). The square footage requested by the program and provided in the Schematic Design for each activity (net assignable area) by floors will be shown on a schedule on the Schematic Design floor plans adjacent to each floor plan. The first sheet of the floor plans will included a table of Grand Totals of Areas (in square feet) broken down by floors into net assignable areas, custodial, mechanical, electrical, miscellaneous spaces, horizontal and vertical circulation spaces. The gross area of the building will also be shown on the schedules. New areas of rooms, or other spaces, will be indicated only on the schedules and not on the Schematic Design floor plans. The floor which is approximately on the same level as the main entrance is designated as the first floor. When the lot slopes downward from the main facade so that one or more secondary entrances lead to a level below the first floor, this level will be designated as the ground floor. When the lot slopes upward from the main facade, there is no ground floor. A secondary public entrance at the rear of the building may be at the mezzanine or second-story level.

2. Roof Plan: Show all levels of the roof, their elevations or slopes.

3. Elevations: The elevations will be block outlines and breaks to indicate the various masses and how they coincide with the plans. Typical proposed window arrangement and exterior material indications will be shown only to the extent necessary to suggest possible design in accord with the concept sketches. Floor-to-floor dimensions will be shown. Definitely planned or probable future extensions will be indicated by dotted outlines on the plans and elevations. The words "Future Extension" should be noted to indicate the limits of the extensions.

4. Transverse and Longitudinal Sections: In both the longitudinal and transverse sections, the important rooms (indicated by name or abbreviations) will be shown, as well as floor dimensions.

The drawings must show calculations for circulation areas, entrances, exits, stairways, exit stairways, passenger and freight elevators and escalators. The overall space divisions for each activity corresponding to the program requirements must be shown. Major spaces for mechanical and electrical equipment, public toilet rooms, major stacks and major chases must be indicated.

Partitions of each major room will be indicated on the drawings. At the Professional's option, the following may or may not be shown: door swings, closets, small storage areas, private toilets, recesses and alcoves within a given area.

Diagrammatic drawings will indicate space for mechanical and electrical equipment, toilet rooms and the number and location of elevators or escalators. Location and capacity of electricity, gas, water and sewer lines available for the Project and the approximate location of connections will also be indicated on the site plan.

In addition, diagrammatic drawings will be sufficiently developed with regard to column locations, grades and story heights to determine a sound structural scheme. The Professional will not submit diagrammatic drawings which have not been analyzed by the structural consultant and for which a feasible structural system has not been determined. The structural systems may be indicated by drawings or by written descriptions.

Since the building design and arrangement is dependent on the types of mechanical and electrical systems selected, it is necessary that the mechanical and electrical engineers be brought in at the concept stage ofthe design. The economic analysis description of systems and space requirements for mechanical and electrical systems will be included with the submission. The Professional, along with the structural, mechanical and electrical consultants, will stamp their Professional seal on respective drawings or submittal information.
