Current through June 25, 2024
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
						  of the 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.
