The project requires comprehensive architectural planning and supervision across multiple service phases, from initial groundwork to object care and documentation.

Key aspects of the Statement of Work and core deliverables include:

• Concept for Contract Execution: This involves presenting the organizational structure, the general working methods of the bidder's office, and detailing the integration of other planning participants, including information exchange between specialist planners, users, and the client, as well as monitoring content and deadlines.
• Cost and Schedule Planning and Control: Ensuring project costs, managing supplementary claims, coordinating costs with other specialist planners, and ensuring the project schedule, including strategies for handling potential scheduling risks.
• Architectural Services (Leistungsphasen 1-9): The contractor is responsible for providing all basic services within these phases, as well as any special and consulting services necessary to achieve the project's objectives. These phases encompass:
• LPh 1: Grundlagenermittlung (Basic Evaluation): Identifying and compiling necessary planning bases, client requirements, and clarifying service needs.
• LPh 2: Vorplanung (Preliminary Planning): Developing a concrete planning concept, including pre-dimensioning systems and key plant components, establishing functional diagrams, and creating a cost estimate according to DIN 276.
• LPh 3: Entwurfsplanung (Draft Planning): Defining all systems and components, calculating and dimensioning technical systems, providing calculation results to other planners, and preparing a cost calculation according to DIN 276.
• LPh 4: Genehmigungsplanung (Approval Planning): Preparing and compiling documents and evidence for public-law approvals or consents.
• LPh 5: Ausführungsplanung (Execution Planning): Developing detailed execution plans with graphical representations of systems, updating calculations and dimensions, and preparing plans for openings and penetrations.
• LPh 6: Vorbereitung der Vergabe (Preparation for Award).
• LPh 7: Mitwirkung bei der Vergabe (Assistance in Awarding): Full basic services.
• LPh 8: Objektüberwachung (Bauüberwachung) und Dokumentation (Object Supervision (Construction Supervision) and Documentation): Full basic services, including updating execution plans to reflect the as-built condition.
• LPh 9: Objektbetreuung (Object Care): Full basic services, including monitoring defect rectification within the limitation period.
• Integration of Funding Management: All special services across all architectural phases must integrate invoicing management with the requirements and processes of funding management, as the project is funded by STEP 2024.
• Compliance and Standards: Planning must adhere to recognized technical rules, federal and state legal provisions, and the guidelines of North Rhine-Westphalia. Planning documents must clearly present all essential processing bases, steps, and results.
• Cost Estimation: Cost determination (cost calculation by the end of LPh 6 and cost finalization by the end of LPh 8) must be prepared in accordance with DIN 276 and include cost sources such as current offers, nationwide construction prices, and construction price index.
• Supporting Documentation: The project involves comprehensive documentation, including cost planning, building physics, statics, building services, hazardous materials, fire protection, draft planning, a usage and operator concept, economic feasibility study, and statements related to the STEP 2024 funding application for the conversion of the central workshop.
