Investigating the nature and severity of the problem. 2. Documenting existing conditions. 3. Recommending detailed repairs and magnitude of cost for such repairs. 4. Proposing alternate methods of repairs for resolution of the problem, including energy efficient alternatives. 5. Developing the preferred solution to schematic design and/or design development, to include, if necessary, coordinated, multiple phases that will be constructed over a series of years to account for (1), changes in priorities, (2) changes in funding and (3), limited access to the buildings in which work will take place. 6. Preparing construction specifications and documents, cost estimates, and providing construction administration for the solution. Consideration in the analysis should include energy costs, sustainability principles, expected remaining useful life of building systems and related life cycle costs. Particular attention should be paid to the constructability, reliability, durability and maintainability of building systems and materials. If the selected designer is appointed for final design, the general scope of work will be defined by the certifiable building study and the current version of the DCAMM Designer Procedures Manual.
