Section 14-8 - Value Engineering (a) Value engineering is a process to achieve the best balance of cost-to-value in projects for districts and the State. In addition to value engineering required by design or construction contracts, the Department shall conduct a value engineering analysis using a collaborative process to objectively consider the best approach to design and construct projects. Value engineering shall include life cycle cost analysis of all major systems in the facility. - (i) Value engineering review shall occur at the schematic design phase (10% Design) and the design documents phase (35% Design) or as otherwise determined by the Department. The design of the facility shall conform to value engineering recommendations before it proceeds into the next phase of development unless waived in writing by the Director.
- (ii) The Department shall consider the recommendations of value engineering in assessment of enhancements. Any aspect of a design which does not conform to value engineering recommendations approved by the Department and proceeds without approval will be deemed an enhancement and will be the sole financial responsibility of the district.
- (iii) Value engineering strategies learned on previous projects shall be considered for subsequent projects.
