This meeting shall be a minimum of two (2) hours in length. During this meeting, the TL Vendor is to explain, clarify, coordinate, and develop a comprehensive plan for how to leverage the power of the systems, but most importantly, LISTEN to the Owner and develop a system that fulfills their use scenarios as best as possible. The TL Vendor can request that the Consultant and /or Architect join this meeting to offer insights and help discussions advance. Topics during this meeting should include at a minimum: a. Simple User control options (number of lighting presets, function or each button, etc.) b.
