4.0 DB Design Development (DD) Documents and DB Construction Documents (CD)
The Architect/Engineer (A/E) shall exclude Brand Name materials from specifications and utilize salient characteristics to the maximum extent practicable. When Brand Name is required to ensure quality of design, and the A/E suspects [based on market research] that suitable equal materials are likely available from other manufactures, the A/E shall identify the item as “Brand Name or Equal,” and include the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics that will satisfy the design requirements in the specifications in the following format:
[Brand Name; Part Number; Etc.] Brand Name or Equal Salient Characteristics that an equal must meet are delineated below:
Physical: (All physical characteristic that an equal must meet shall be included here).
Functional: (All functional characteristic that an equal must meet shall be included here)
Performance: (All functional characteristic that an equal must meet shall be included here).
If any of the above mentioned characteristic categories (physical, functional, or performance) are not applicable, “None” shall be used to denote that no salient characteristics apply to that specific brand name or equal description.
Permitting
The Architect/Engineer is responsible for leading the DSC Project Permitting Management Process (PPMP) and shall:
- Select a Permitting Lead.
- Review previously developed permitting documents (Permitting Assessment Form (PAF), Permitting Road Map, and Permit Plans).
- Continuously update documents to reflect project changes.
- Conduct Permit Acquisition Service:
- Initiate Permit Acquisition Services: Initiate Permit Acquisition Services if during permit scoping, permits reliant on the design were identified. Permits are part of design responsibility.
- Prepare Permit Schedule: Review permit list to be used in Division 1 Specifications 01 31 00 Project Management and Coordination. Prepare a Permit Schedule using the timelines developed in the Permit Plans.
- Develop Application for each Required Permit: Develop an application for each required permit on the Permitting Road Map and include required documents and products. Consult with the appropriate Agency for each permit. Bring any permit issues to the interdisciplinary team (IDT) for resolutions. Provide a draft application for each Permit to the IDT for review prior to submitting it to the associated Agency. Finalize the application by incorporating comments from the IDT review.
- Initiate Permit Acquisition and Provide Final Permits: Obtain Permits identified in the updated Permit Plans. Proactively manage the DSC PPMP to ensure each permit is issued within the identified timeline. Submit draft permit applications to NPS staff for review. Consult with the interdisciplinary team (IDT) to prepare and submit application and documents required by the Agency and resolve any comments. Provide original versions of all issued permits to NPS by the required date.
