E Example PDRI Element Descriptions Note: The three element descriptions given in this appendix comprise one category and are provided for illustrative purposes. Descriptions for the 61 other elements are contained in Cll Implementation Resource 155-2 (Construction Industry Institute, 1999J. G. EQUIPMENT G1. Equipment List Project-specific equipment should be defined and listed. (Note: Building systems equipment is ad- dressed in element F4, Mechanical Design, and F5, Electrical Design). In situations where owners are furnishing equipment, the equipment should be properly defined and purchased. The list should define items such as: O Process O Medical O Food service/vending O Trash disposal O Distributed control systems O Material handling O Existing sources and characteristics of O Relative sizes equipment: Weights Location Capacities Materials of construction Insulation and painting requirements Equipment related access Vendor, model, and serial number once identified Equipment delivery time, if known Other 63

Although most federal facilities projects are successfully completed (i.e., they reasonably meet the agency's requirements and expectations), the perception is that development of the scope of work for design for these projects is challenging and in some cases poorly performed. Based on this perception, a study was commissioned by the Federal Facilities Council (FFC) of the National Research Council to identify the elements that should be included in a scope of work for design to help ensure that the resulting facility is one that supports the fulfillment of a federal agency's program or mission. Its objectives also included identifying key practices for developing effective scopes of work for design involving new construction or major renovation projects and identifying key practices for matching the scope of work with the acquisition strategy, given a range of project delivery systems and contract methods.
