4.10.1
Design Review
A. RIDE will conduct an
				  architectural and technical peer review of each Approved Project at the
				  completion of schematic design, design development, and construction document
				  phases, or at such other times determined by RIDE. Such a review will ensure
				  that the designs comply with the approved Design and Educational Program
				  approved by the Council and these regulations. In the event that the school
				  project involves historic buildings or Districts, the RI Historical
				  Preservation and Heritage Commission may require an ongoing review through
				  construction.
B. Districts are
				  responsible for submitting all required documentation to RIDE upon completion
				  of each design phase and attending Plan Review meetings as scheduled by RIDE.
				  At the Plan Review meetings, the design team and building committee are
				  expected to answer all questions posed by RIDE and, upon successful conclusion
				  of the review, may move to the next phase of design.
C. Listed below is the required documentation
				  for each phase of the design process:
1.
				  Schematic Design:
a. The purpose of the
				  documentation submitted during the Schematic Design is to document the
				  continuing development of the school construction project and its major
				  components and to project a project budget. The documentation should also
				  demonstrate compliance with the Northeast-CHPS.
(1) Site plan and Landscape plan @ 1/16" =
				  1'-0"
(2) Floor plans @ 1/16" =
				  1'-0" showing all partitions and door swings Color Rendering
(3) Exterior elevations @ 1/16" = 1'-0"
				  Typical building wall sections Single line engineering diagrams Outline
				  specifications
(4) City Planning
				  Board submission
(5) Civil
				  engineering drawings (scale as required) Confirm Project schedule
(6) Site engineering calculations
				  Construction Cost Estimates Project Report
(7) LEEDT Checklist Form Project Review
				  Meeting
(8) Educational
				  Specifications and Schematic submission to DOE
2. Design Development and Construction
				  Documents:
a. Design Development is intended
				  to further develop the school facilities project design with greater detail.
(1) Construction drawings for all trades that
				  show the scope of work for the Project as defined in the detailed deliverables

(2) Specifications with
				  general conditions and all technical sections Construction Cost
				  Estimate
(3) Legal/regulatory
				  approvals completed as required Confirm Project schedule
(4) Project Report
(5) LEEDT Checklist Form
(6) Project Review Meeting
D. The cost
				  of project elements that exceed or diverge from approved project scope may be
				  declared ineligible for school housing aid reimbursement. The District may
				  retain such elements only by accepting sole financial responsibility for
				  non-conforming elements in writing in a format prescribed by RIDE, prior to
				  inclusion of such elements in any designs.
