7.

Inspection by the Tenant

If so requested by the Tenant by not less than fourteen (14) days prior written notice, the Management Company shall make available for inspection by the Tenant or its duly authorised agent at a reasonably accessible location for a period of one (1) month following the delivery to the Tenant of the Certificate the books and other documents or records which are in the reasonable opinion of the Management Company relevant for the purpose of ascertaining or verifying the level of the Basement Service Charge and the Tenant or its duly authorised agent shall be entitled to take copies (at the expense of the Tenant) of the relevant documents.

Introduction

0.1.

Purpose of Document

This project will be carried out BIM (Building Information Modelling) to Level 2 BIM Maturity, using PAS1192-2:2013 “Specification for information management for the capital/delivery phase of construction projects using building information modelling (BIM)”.

This document provides a clear definition of the employer’s information requirements at key decision points, as well as standards and processes to be adopted by the supply chain, and forms part of the contract through the adoption of the CIC BIM Protocol.

The EIR will require the submission of a pre-contract BIM Execution Plan (BEP) from each supplier, to demonstrate their proposed approach, capability and capacity to deliver the required information, with their supply chain, prior to contract award. The EIR requires the appointed team to contribute to the production of an overall post-contract BIM Execution Plan (BEP) to be managed by the Project Information Manager for both Design & Construction Stage.

0.2.

Scope

The Construction Industry Council (CIC) BIM Protocol is included as part of the agreement or contract between the Employer and the project team members. The BIM Protocol includes a Model Production and Delivery Table (MPDT) identifying model uses, Levels of Model Definition (LoMD) and responsibility for modelling for each Project Stage/Information Exchange This represents the outline Digital Plan of Work for the production, management and exchange of information on this project.

This EIR document is divided into 4 sections:

 

1.

Project Information

 

2.

Information Management (Required by PAS1192-2 Clause 5.3 a)

 

3.

Commercial Management (Required by PAS1192-2 Clause 5.3 b)

 

4.

Competence Assessment (Required by PAS1192-2 Clause 5.3 c)

The clauses in each section follow the order as set out in PAS1192-2:2013 and it is vital that all project participants refer to the PAS1192-2:2013 standard, a copy of which is included in the tender documents. Each clause includes a reference to the relevant clause in PAS1192-2:2013, for the purpose for including, a description of the content to be included or expectations for the information to be provided, in response to the EIR by the bidder.

In addition, each organisation using BIM collaboratively should be familiar with guidance contained in the ‘BIM Protocol’; the ‘Outline Scope of Services for the Role of Information Management; and ’Best Practice Guide for Professional Indemnity Insurance when using BIM' published by the Construction Industry Council (CIC UK). Each Party should seek independent advice from their legal team and insurance providers, with regards to the professional risks of adherence to these guidelines,

It is not the intention of this document to state how each organisation will implement BIM with their respective organisations, but to help ensure that their individual efforts contribute to the broader objectives of the employer. Organisations are encouraged to ensure that their internal procedures support this document and standards for Level 2 BIM in the interest of project quality control and improving collaborative processes

0.3.

Building Information Modelling Goals

The employer is promoting the use of Building Information Modelling, with the overall aim to improve collaboration and communication, to reduce construction waste and costs, alleviate the risk of project delays and increase project participants understanding of the details of a project. BIM goals for this project include:

 

-

To carry out conceptual design studies and analysis

 

-

To improve communication and presentation

 

-

To produce a clash free BIM model with the appropriate level of detail

 

-

To improve and validate constructability

 

-

To coordinate designers and contractors information

 

-

To reduce overall project time frame (4D)

 

-

To reduce the overall project cost and improve predictability (5D)

 

-

To test design iterations and optimize design for performance and lifecycle costing (6D)

 

-

To reduce the number of RFI’s and change orders

 

-

To deliver a better building earlier

 

-

To minimise construction waste

 

-

To create an as-built Asset Information Model for better Facilities Management (7D)

 

-

To promote better safety - PSDP/PSCS

 

-

To Improve Statutory Compliance Record Information

For the avoidance of doubt and misunderstanding, bidders must refer to Appendix A, outlining the Building Information Modelling Use & Purpose, where the employer clearly defines their understanding and meaning of the relevant terms and expectation in relation to information management. The supply chain must review this list, and immediately seek clarification on any misunderstandings as to what they are required to provide.

The above figure represents the minimum requirements for a compliance plan. The Tenderer’s Pre-Contract BIM Execution Plan as part of a bid submission should include these requirements, and set out Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures.

2.11.

Coordinates

Required by PAS1192-2 Clause 5.3 a) 11)

Each Project Information Model shall adopt the common Project Shared Coordinate System which is based on survey information using Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM) coordinates. The minimum requirement is spatial coordination stated as follows:

 

The Architect should as early as possible share a model containing of Grids and Levels. This model should be used to acquire project co-ordinates.

 

All task teams will adopt the established Project Shared Coordinate system across all Project Information Models to allow them to be referenced without modification.

 

The model will use real world co-ordinates systems and be produced to a true height above datum based on Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM) co-ordinate system. Coordinates should be based on an accurate survey and not Ordnance Survey maps.

 

Building Levels should relate to the Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM) co-ordinate system.

 

The models should be oriented correctly to the true north.

 

Units to nearest mm. Coordinates should be based on RICS 1:100 Survey accuracy.

 

As far as practicably possible the model should be used for the setting out of works, to facilitate delivery of an as-built model. As tolerance strategy should be agreed and incorporated into the post-contract BIM Execution Plan (BEP). Any major deviations from the design or construction model should be captured in the as-built model, which may require verification of the location of installations through laser surveys, or other means, which should be undertaken by the main contractor before installations are closed up. A strategy for delivering a verified as-built model should be addressed in the pre-contract BIM execution plan, and implemented in the post-contract BEP.

The standards and methodology should be included in the pre-contract BIM Execution Plan. Specific detailed information e.g. coordinates should be included in the post contract BIM Execution Plan.

Changes to Associated Tender Documentation

Required by PAS1192-2 Clause 5.3 c) 2).

The following changes, text, insertions, documents are to be included in the tender documentation, by the project team, as special provisions to be allowed for, to support the utilising BIM on the project:

 

A detailed Employer's Information Requirements (EIR) document is included in the tender documentation.

 

Bidders are required to submit a pre-contract BIM execution plan, in the format of the template provided, to demonstrate how they intend to deliver on the Employers Information Requirements (EIR).

 

The bidder and their supply chain will be required to provide a Pre-contract BIM execution Plan (BEP) which shall be in accordance with Section 6.2 of PAS1192-2:2013.

 

In accordance with sections 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7 of PAS1192-2:2013, the bidder and their supply chain will be required to complete a Project Implementation Plan (PIP) or BIM Capability Assessment, in the format of the template provided, to indicate that they have the personnel, IT resources and BIM expertise to deliver the on the BIM execution plan. Where the bidder or members of the supply chain do not currently have BIM capabilities they should include a statement of how they intend to develop these capabilities, or meet these requirements, as part of delivering on the BIM execution plan. All costs associated with developing the BIM capabilities to deliver on the employer's information requirements should be included in the contract and supply chains tender.

 

A Pre-qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) seeking details of BIM capabilities, is included as part of the tender documentation (see Table 8 in PAS91:2013as example).

 

A read-only DWF/NWD version of the federated building information model is being made available as part of the tender stage, along with a COBie output in Excel format. Free viewing software is available to download. Bidders are not expected to purchase any software in order to tender works.

 

The client can confirm that a fully editable Revit 2015 version of the architectural, structural and MEP services design intent models, will be made available to the successful contractor. The Models for the project has been develop to tender stage, approximating LoMD 4 ‘Production’ (as defined by PAS 1192-2:2013; Figure 20 - Levels of model definition for building and infrastructure projects). The Models cannot be relied upon beyond these levels of definition, even if they do contain additional information. The contractor may use these models to develop further into a construction coordination model if they so choose, however the contractor is responsible for developing their own construction/fabrication BIM, in conjunction with their subcontractors, and in taking on the design intent models, they take full responsibility for checking these before incorporating information into construction, fabrication and installation models. The contractor and subcontractors are expected to add site setup, plant, equipment, cranage, temporary works, scaffolding health and safety equipment etc. into the model and edit the model as required to show sequencing of works in conjunction with the construction programme. Cost estimates may be linked to the model so that value earned demonstrations can be provided at any stage.

It is the contractor’s responsibility to develop and maintain the construction model during the construction phase of the project and ensure that other members of the supply chain develop their portions of the work in a model formats that can be federated into the overall construction model. Models should be produced before fabrication/installation, and should form part of the standard submittals/approvals process of fabrication or “shop drawings”. As far as practically possible, all fabrication and shop drawings should be derived from the construction models.

 

The contractor will be required to take on the role of Project Information Manager during construction stage or appoint someone to take on the role on their behalf (Scope of service of Information manager included in tender documents). The information manager construction stage will be required to execute and manage the post-contract BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and operate and maintain the Common Data Environment (CDE) established at design stage.

 

The contractor and their supply chain should confirm with their tender submissions that, they have reviewed the models provided, for constructability, logistics and health & safety issues, and ideally those should be linked to the construction programme and estimates as part of their tender submission, to demonstrate their understanding of the project and BIM.

 

If any alternative proposals are being suggested as part of the tender, the contractor and subcontractors should ideally develop those aspects of the model from tender issue to tender return, incorporating any proposed construction alternatives, to demonstrate implications of alternative proposals, or additional information added to existing model elements if applicable. A developed COBie output will also be required as part of the tender to highlight any implications of alternative proposals.

 

The contractor will be required to provide meeting facilities with IT and projection facilities to allow access to the construction model, and wireless internet connection on site to allow controlled mobile device accessibility to BIM information to all areas of the work. Laser Scanning & setting out equipment (robotic total station) may be required. As well as online collaboration tools (like Autodesk Glue/Field). Contractors should consider IT requirements as part of their proposals. This should be included in the preliminaries.

4.3.

BIM Tender Assessment Details

Required by PAS1192-2 Clause 5.3 c) 3).

The Employer understands that the use of BIM is relatively new to the construction industry in Ireland, and won’t be applying a direct scoring and weighting system when assessing submissions in relation to BIM, however suppliers will be required to comply with these requirements, and where suppliers have little or no previous experience of delivering projects in BIM, they should include as part of their submission, and pre-contract BEP, details of how they intend to acquire the capability or resources to deliver BIM, should they be successful in their tender.

Description

1

Gather

to collect or organise Building information

administer, collect, manage, acquire

This primary objective is to use the BIM to gather information about the building and all building elements in order to properly manage the built asset, and the use of BIM can greatly assist in this effort. In this primary BIM use the information will be collected, gathered and organised.

1.1

Capture

to represent or preserve the current status of the Building and Building elements

Collect

The BIM process will be used to capture geometric and attribute data as a record of the Building elements that exists. Existing geometry can be captured using laser scanner or traditional survey methods. All building data captured is to be classified using Uniclass 2 and in COBie-UK-2012 format.

1.2

Quantify (5D)

to express or measure the amount of a Building element

Quantity Takeoff

BIM may be used for counting or collecting the amount of specific Building elements as part of the estimating and cost forecasting process. During the design phase of a Building, quantities maybe defined broadly, represented by a range and subject to change. In the construction phase, quantities are to be more certain and in the operations phase, quantities of elements are to be easily and more readily calculated.

BIM may be be used to monitor real-time performance data of Building elements and Building activities. Building Automation System data should be integrated with the BIM data. The BIM should be used to where possible to assist the team to

understand the performance of particular Building elements or processes. The contractor should be required to use the BIM process to monitor the productivity of construction processes

1.4

Qualify (4D/7D)

to characterize or identify Building elements’ status

Follow, track, identify

This objective is to use the BIM to track the status of the building elements over time, through the design, construct and operation stages. (This should include information for example, in design, what is the element's level of development? In construction, has the element been fabricated? Is it installed? Is it damaged? During operations warranty information on the element and whether or not the element is reaching the end of its useful life)

 

 

 

 

 

2

Generate

to create or author information about the Building

create, author, model

It is expected that every discipline that interacts with the Building will generate information about the Building. This includes prescribing, arranging, and sizing Building elements to various levels of development. Within the design phase, the design team will be the primary generators of information, while in the construction phase; the subcontractors will generate most of the information. Additionally, in the operations phase, that information could be generated by those maintaining the Building when they update or change that Building. Anytime new information is authored, modelled, or created, it is generated.

Fabricate

to use Building information to manufacture the elements of a Building

manufacture

Where practical all subcontractors are to maximise the use of BIM to manufacture elements of the Building. For example, Building information can be used to directly fabricate structural steel shapes from a CNC Machine or directly fabricate ductwork or cut piping. Within the design phase, BIM can be used to quickly generate prototypes of future Building elements, while in operations it could be used to quickly fabricate replacement parts.

Subcontractors pre-contract BEP to include an explanation of their current shop- drawings and fabrication process, and describe how BIM could help improve the production and flow of information, and accuracy to current processes, and set out the feasibility/cost of implementing these changes and the expected ROI

5.2

Assemble

to use Building information to bring together the separate elements of a Building

prefabricate

The project team will explore how the building information is made available to bring together the separate elements of a Building with the potential ability to fit together systems that were traditionally very separate. Some common examples include curtain wall systems, energy/MEP risers, and toilet cores.

Terms, definitions and abbreviations for BIM documentation

The following terms, definitions and abbreviations have been selected from PAS1192-2:2013 as being relevant to an Employers Information Requirements document and should be read in conjunction with PAS1192-2:2013 Annex A. The PAS1192-2:2013 annex numbering has been included for ease of cross referencing. Additional notes have been included which cross reference with BS1192:2007 and the CIC BIM Protocol.

In the interest of achieving a common language in the industry, the following terms should be used in the EIR:

6.1.1.

2D drawing

A 2D drawing contains a view of a model that is referenced into a “drawing sheet template" (blank drawing and title block). Such drawings must always be considered to be static documents, as they are drawing renditions or snapshots of the design’s model files. Such renditions are generated each time the drawing is prepared for “sharing” at regular milestones.

3D model (M3)

A model with objects having three-dimensional properties. Such models are always to be considered to be dynamic, as they will be made up of “model files” that are “x-ref” or “reference” files.

NOTE 3D Models with data can be considered Level 2 BIM models whereas 3D Models without data are Level 1 BIM. Refer to Figure 1 in PAS1192-2:2013.

6.1.4.

3D Visualization (VS)

3D images from the 3D CAD model, or a virtual representation of the building or facility to be constructed; used for visualizing the project. Refer to Clause 9.2 of BS1192:2007 where 2D Drawings are represented by the VS Type.

6.1.5.

Archive

Component of the common data environment (CDE).

NOTE The archive section of the CDE is for inactive or superseded information. Such information will provide a history of the project information transfers, sharing, change orders and knowledge retention, and can be used for other contractual purposes or “discovery”.

6.1.6.

As-built or as-constructed

A model consisting of documentation, non- graphical information and graphical information defining the delivered project.

“As-built” is defined as the record drawings and documentation defining deviation to the designed information occurring during construction at the end of the project.

“As-constructed” defines the defect and deviation to the designed model occurring during construction. The “as-constructed” model and its appended documentation are continually

updated through re-measurement as construction progresses. This allows for deviation to be reviewed with respect to the following packages and making knowledgeable assessment of impact and resolution.

6.1.7.

AIM/Asset Information Model

Maintained information model used to manage, maintain and operate the asset.

6.1.11.

Client

Individual or organization commissioning a built asset.

NOTE The client may be different from the employer.

6.1.12.

Common data environment (CDE)

Single source of information for any given project, used to collect, manage and disseminate all relevant approved project documents for multi-disciplinary teams in a managed process.

NOTE 1 A CDE may use a project server, an extranet, a file-based retrieval system or other suitable toolset.

NOTE 2 Note CDE as defined in the BS 1192:2007.

NOTE 3 The fundamental requirement for producing information through a collaborative activity is to share information early, and to trust the information that is being shared as well as the originator of that information. What is needed is a disciplined auditable process that is transparent and controllable. The method for managing a project through a common data environment (CDE) is applicable to all sizes of practice, and in particular it prepares that office to be able to work collaboratively. As a standard that is adopted by all, it will help to remove the problem of having to constantly retrain on each and every project when client standards are to be applied. If the clients accept the procedures and make them contractual, then these problems disappear. The CDE is a means of allowing information to be shared efficiently and accurately between all members of the project team - whether that information is in 2D or 3D, or indeed textual or numeric. The CDE enables multi-disciplinary design teams to collaborate in a managed environment, where the build-up and development of information follows the design, manufacturing and construction sequence. See BS 1192:2007 or Building Information Modelling - A Standard Framework and Guide to BS 1192, Richards, 2010. The CDE process also ensures that information is only generated once and is then reused as necessary by all members of the supply chain. It also ensures that the information is constantly updated and enriched for final delivery as part of the Facilities Management (FM) document.

Section 0.0 - Introduction

Section 0.1. - Purpose of Document

PAS1192-2:2013 requires the provision of a clear definition of the employer’s information requirements (EIR) and key decision points (to form part of the contract possibly through adoption of the CIC BIM Protocol). The EIR should evaluate the proposed approach, capability and capacity of each supplier, and their supply chain, to deliver the required information, prior to contract award.

EIRs are produced as part of a wider set of documentation for use during project procurement and shall typically be issued as part of the employer’s requirements or tender documentation. The development of the EIR shall start either with the assessment of an existing asset, leading to the development of the employer's need, or directly with the employer’s need if no existing asset or asset information model is to be considered.

The EIR shall be incorporated into the tender documentation, to enable suppliers to produce their initial BIM execution plan (BEP) upon which their proposed approach, capability and capacity can be evaluated. The EIR is a key document with regards to communicating information requirements as well as establishing information management requirements. The EIR will act as a good basis from which to review the contents of the bidder’s BIM Execution Planning, confirming its completeness.

The contents of the EIRs should be aligned to employer decision points which in turn will coincide with project stages. The EIR should be consistent with other appointment and contract documents in use on the project, which in turn should be aligned with industry standards such as the RIAI or PWC project stages. Information requirements should be specific, measureable, achievable, realistic and time-bound against, for defined project stages and information exchanges.

The employer, or the employer's representative, shall be responsible for ensuring that information requirements are included in project contracts in such a way as to avoid duplication of responsibilities.

Section 0.2. - Scope

The Employers Information Requirements guidance document is intended to support Employers undertaking BIM Level 2. It is recommended that Employers become familiar with a BIM Protocol such as the Construction Industry Council (CIC) BIM Protocol which should be included as part of the agreement or contract between the Employer and the project team members. The BIM Protocol should include a Model Production and Delivery Table identifying model uses, Levels of Model Definition (LoMD) and responsibility for modelling for each Project Stage /Information Exchange. The Project BIM Protocol should also identify the Project Information Manager.

PAS1192-2:2013 Clause 5.3 defines the minimum contents of the Employers Information Requirements

 

WINDMILL LANE QUARTER | Employers Information Requirements |

 

15-117-AX-00-ZZ-ST -A-001-S3-A-EIR-SJRQuay.docx

Employers should seek independent advice from their insurance provider and where necessary legal advice on the professional risks associated with working in BIM using the CIC BIM Protocol, a bespoke BIM Protocol or not using a BIM Protocol. Each organisation using BIM collaboratively should be familiar with guidance contained in the 'Outline Scope of Services for the Role of Information Management' and 'Best Practice Guide for Professional Indemnity Insurance when using BIM’ published by the Construction Industry Council.

This document is generic in nature and is intended as guidance for an Employers Information Requirements document. Prior to its use, the document should be reviewed thoroughly to ensure that it is fit for purpose on the intended project. It is not the intention of this document to state how each organisation will implement BIM with their respective organisations but organisations are encouraged to ensure that their internal procedures support this document and standards for Level 2 BIM in the interest of project quality control and improving collaborative processes.

Section 0.3. - Building Information Modelling Goals

Section 0.4. - Building Information Modelling Use Purpose

Section 0.5. - The BIM Team

Section 0.6. - Copyright

Section 0.7. - Credits

Section 1.0 - Section 1 - Project Information

Section 1.1. - Project Details

The following project information should either be included in the EIR or referenced in other tender documentation where it is included. Project Information should be completed by the Employer.

Section 1.2. - Project Scope

Section 1.3. - Project Description

Section 2.0 - Section 2 - Information Management

Section 2.1. - Level of Detail

The purpose of this section is to define requirements for information submissions/data drops at project stages. This information is used to populate the Model Production and Delivery Table (MPDT) included in the BIM Protocol.

The responsibility for the maintenance of the Model Production Delivery Table (MPDT) sits with the Employer. The table can be managed by a party appointed by the employer. For example, post-contract the MPDT could be managed by the Project Delivery Manager or Project Information Manager.

Accurate recording of the Level of Detail is important. Model Originators will typically be required to complete models strictly to the level of detail required at a particular stage. Similarly information users will typically be required to only rely on information completed to the contractually defined level of detail.

The MPDT defines the scope of the models for the purposes of the contract. It is important that the MPDT is comprehensive and is regularly updated. The MPDT also defines for the purposes of the contract the levels of detail used for the various phases of the project.

Example:

Section 2.2. - Training Requirements

The purpose of this section is to provide bidders with details of training that will be provided in connection with project systems, or training requirements which the bidder will be required to deliver as part of their appointment/contract.

Any specific Client requirements should be communicated through the EIR and through the Pre Contract BIM Execution Plan for the bidder.

Section 2.3. - Planning of Work and Data Segregation

The purpose of this section is to set out requirements for the bidder’s proposals for the management of the modelling process.

A statement that information should be managed in accordance with the processes described in PAS1192-2:2013 and BS1192:2007.

Where the employer has specific requirements for work management, the requirement and request for proposals should be identified.

Example

Section 2.4. - Co - ordination and Clash Detection

The purpose of this section is to define the required co-ordination process, together with requirements for quality control.

This EIR should include requests for details of the following project management processes:

Details of the clash detection process including:

Software

Process overview

The purpose of this section is to communicate client specific security measures required in order to secure the data.

Section 2.8. - Information to be either excluded or included from information models

The purpose of this section is to communicate a schedule of client specific assets that should be included or excluded from the Project Information Model (PIM) and the Asset Information Model (AIM). This section also enables the employer to obtain proposals with regards to asset information delivery into the employer’s FM environment.

Section 2.9. - Systems Performance

The purpose of this section is to communicate to bidders any constraints in the employer’s systems or specific IT requirements which may need additional resources or non-standard solutions.

Section 2.10. - Compliance Plan

The purpose of this section is to enable the supplier to communicate how the integrity of the model and other data sources will be maintained.

Section 2.11. - Coordinates

The purpose of this section is to encourage the adoption a common coordinate system for all BIM data with consistent adoption for all models. Defines requirements for the common coordinate system for all BIM data. Details modifications to imported DWG/DGN co-ordinates.

No response is required in the Pre-contract BIM Execution Plan. Exchange of Information should be reviewed at each project stage. Any updates should be agreed with the supplier at each project stage.

Section 3.2. - Client's Strategic Purpose

The purpose of this section is to describe the expected purposes of the information provided using the COBie data exchange format.

Section 1.1.2 CIC BIM Protocol defines Permitted Purpose as: “a purpose related to the Project (or the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project) which is consistent with the applicable Level of Detail of the relevant Model (including a Model forming part of a Federated Model) and the purpose for which the relevant Model was prepared”.

Clause 3.3 CIC BIM Protocol identifies "A key area of concern for many information providers is that the wider use of data-rich BIM will make it harder to protect IPR. The CIC BIM Protocol uses a general concept of 'Permitted Purpose' to define the licensed uses of Models, rather than stating the specific uses of each model"

The CIC BIM Protocol does not specifically state the purposes for which models will be used. Setting out proposed purposes in the EIRs informs the scope of the licences defined in the Protocol.

Example:

The purposes included in the EIR can define the use to which the models are licensed as part of the BIM Protocol. Employers should consider including the purposes in Appendix 1 of the BIM Protocol which should be correlated with the Level of Detail, Project Stage and Data Drops.

Section 3.3. - Software Formats

Section 3.4. - Responsibility Matrix

The purpose of the Responsibility Matrix is to set out the relationship between disciplines and production of information or models in line with the defined project stages.

Preparation of a design responsibility matrix should begin early in the development of the project. It may start with a simple, strategic overview of design responsibility for the main design elements. As the project progresses however, it should increase in detail to allocate responsibility for specific elements, systems and products, setting out the level of detail and format of design information to be produced and any requirement for collateral warranties.

The bidder should provide a methodology for preparing and maintaining the responsibility matrix.

 

WINDMILL LANE QUARTER | Employers Information Requirements |

 

15-117-AX-00-ZZ-ST -A-001-S3-A-EIR-SJRQuay.docx

Page 47 of 49

 


 

Example:

A Responsibility Matrix should be prepared by the supplier in conjunction with the Post- contract Execution Plan.

Section 3.5. - Standards and Guidance Documents

The purpose of this section is to define the BIM Standards that are incorporated into the Information Requirements, Appendix 2 of the CIC BIM Protocol.

Example:

The standards should be incorporated into the BIM Protocol - Appendix 2.

Section 3.6. - Roles, Responsibilities and Authorities

The purpose of this section is to bring to the attention of the project team the allocation of roles associated with the management of the model and project information.

The roles should be reaffirmed in the EIR either explicitly by including the table below or referencing section 7.5 of PAS1192-2:2013. Any changes to the roles, responsibilities and authorities should be documented in the EIR.

Clarity of roles, responsibility and authority are an essential aspect of effective information management. Roles should be embedded into contracts, either through a specific schedule of services or more general obligations. Information management roles are likely to be embedded into more extensive project roles - design team leader, principal contractor, etc.

PAS 1192-2:2013 identifies the types of roles that should be considered and likely responsibilities. It should be remembered that PAS1192-2:2013 should be read in conjunction with other contract documentation such as the Plans of Work and Schedule of Services. The roles indicated in PAS1192-2:2013 are for guidance only and will differ from project to project depending upon market sector, project size and the supply chain tier you are positioned in. Key to the allocation of roles, responsibility and authority is the appropriateness and ability of the organization to be able to deliver. In smaller businesses many of these roles may be executed by the same individual.

The Pre-contract BIM Execution Plan should confirm the roles, responsibilities and authorities as defined in PAS1192-2:2013 incorporating any changes defined in the EIR. The Pre-contract BIM Execution Plan should identify person(s) for each role. CVs for the persons identified should be included as part of the bid submission.

The Information Manager will be identified in the BIM Protocol. The Employer should be notified of any change of personnel for the roles at contract signing. Agreed changes should be incorporated into the Post Contract BIM Execution Plan.

On projects led with the CIC BIM Protocol (2013), a key role is the Information Manager. The Information Manager has a role in facilitating the management of the federated model and the production of project outputs. The information manager is also responsible for managing the operation, standards and culture of the Common Data Environment (CDE). The Information Manager is not a standalone role and is expected to shift from design team to contractor prior to start on site. Under the BIM Protocol, a client is obliged to appoint an Information Manager
