UNHCR/AI/2015/3 – Annex B IMU A/E Manual – April 2015

Foreword

This A/E Design Manual outlines the requirements for Architecture/Engineering (A/E)
companies when taking up work with UNHCR. It describes the scope of work and the specific
requirements of UNHCRUNHCR for the design of its facilities and the Terms of Reference for Page | 3
the provision of A/E Services. These requirements are for the direction of A/E Consultants in
the preparation of project specific documentation, fit for purpose.
The A/E Design Manual must be attached to any contract and can be used to estimate the
effort required for single design work orders/ purchase order. One of the main purposes of
setting‐up design standards for the whole organization is to minimize (though not to
eliminate) the requirement for specific training of staff members in the field, who will know
what to expect when requiring a "concept design" or a "construction schedule" or any other
type of technical document.

All services shall be performed in accordance with any applicable UNHCR and host
nation building and fire norms, standards, and building codes and/or International
standards. The UNHCR Project Manager (PM) will provide specific guidance in the
case of contradictory requirements.
Whenever Services are provided in relation to any phase of the implementation of a
construction contract (Chapter 13 ‐ Post Construction‐Award Services), the A/E shall
be bound by the obligations set out in the construction services contract and related
UNHCR General Conditions for Civil Works as applicable.
01.03 Design general principles and objectives
The A/E shall provide complete design services including all major and minor
disciplines. The end result of any contract with the A/E must be documents that
provide a complete and fully functional facility. UNHCR buildings and facilities shall


be designed and constructed to best meet the functional, safety, and environmental
needs of the programmes they house.
01.04 Environmental and Functional Needs
UNHCR facilities shall provide an environment in which occupants can do their work
with maximum efficiency at the optimum level of comfort, taking the following
factors into consideration: Page | 11
a. Arrangement of Space: space relationships within buildings shall be planned to
optimize the functions being performed by the occupant.
b. Reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities: buildings shall meet
the needs of persons with disabilities including access, sufficient space and
sanitary facilities.
c. Lighting: Natural and artificial lighting shall be sufficient to meet requirements of
the tasks performed by the occupants.
d. Hygrothermal Comfort: the hygrothermal environment shall provide safe and
healthy working conditions for the occupants and proper climatic conditions for
the work being performed.
e. Provision of flexibility and suitable control is necessary. Individual control shall
be considered where appropriate.
f. Acoustical Environment: new buildings and alterations shall be planned and
designed to minimize noise that disturbs occupants unduly or interferes with
their ability to do their work.
g. An adequate level of privacy shall be provided so that occupants can perform
their tasks effectively with minimum outside disturbance.
h. Maintenance and Operation: designs shall be based on user needs and
maintenance capabilities and shall satisfy the functional requirements for
efficient operation of the facility.
i. Materials and projects shall be durable, easily maintained, and appropriate for
the intended use.
j. Harmony with local environment.

01.05 Safety
UNHCR facilities shall provide an environment that is safe for occupants, and that
offers maximum protection during emergencies or disasters.
Prior to signing any agreement for the acquisition of premises, a certificate of
compliance to all minimum safety standards complying with the local safety laws,
norms and standards must be obtained. In its absence, an equivalent statement shall
be required from the landlord, signed by a professional A/E consultant, or obtained
by UNHCR consultant A/E, with regard to:
a. Hygienic Adequacy: facilities must be certified for compliance to any applicable
local norms, codes and regulations (or, in their absence, to international
standards).
b. Structural Adequacy: structures shall be adequate for the functions to be
performed and the loads imposed by building equipment, occupants, their
activities and weather conditions.
Soil and other geotechnical conditions shall be carefully analyzed and resolved
during the design process.
Structural certifications must be required for both new constructions and
alterations to existing ones. When leasing new premises, a structural

certification must be required from the landlord or an engineering consultancy
contract must be awarded in order to obtain it.
Both existing and new facilities must be designed/assessed for the risk of
earthquakes by engineering specialists.
c. Fire Prevention: facilities must be certified for compliance to any applicable local
norms, codes and regulations (or, in their absence, to international standards),
Page | 12 and to the UN Security Management System Fire safety policy and guidelines.
d. Natural Disasters: appropriate design criteria shall be determined for each
project, based on a facility‐specific risk assessment (SRA) and an analysis of all
available information on security considerations, constraints, and tenant needs.
e. Occupational health and safety design: Design shall be the result of safety
analyses and shall address unsafe conditions that cause injury, illness, or
property damage.

01.06 Economy
a. UNHCR facilities shall be designed at the most reasonable cost in terms of
combined initial and long‐term expenditures, based on best life cycle costs,
without compromising other project requirements, considering the following
factors: Energy Conservation.
b. Maintenance, Operation, Repair, and Replacement Costs.
c. Foster Maximum Competition in Bidding.

01.07 Sustainability
UNHCR is committed to actively support the reduction of carbon emissions and a
sustainable future.
The following objectives relate to buildings:
a. Reduction in energy consumption and Green‐House Gas (GHG) emissions.
b. Reduction in water consumption.
c. Reduction in waste production.
d. Monitoring and reporting energy and electricity consumption, and related
greenhouse gas emissions, for all UNHCR facilities (owned, leased or in right of
use).
e. Improved indoor environmental quality for occupants.
f. Achieve LEED® minimum Gold certification at the best value.
Without limiting design flexibility, the recommended approach to achieving GHG
neutral construction (on new construction projects) requires optimization of the
building’s energy performance. To eliminate GHG emissions from direct combustion,
it is recommended that all building systems be optimized to minimize demand. Once
energy consumption is minimized, a GHG neutral project may be achieved by
considering low GHG emission energy sources, including low GHG emission electricity
and on‐site renewable energy.

01.08 Design Quality Control and Review Process
UNHCR requires a high degree of design and quality control during the design
process. Non‐coordinated, low quality drawings and specifications are not


acceptable. In this section all required deliverables that relate to design quality
control are described.
A/E must be clear about these requirements and if there are any questions these
must be forwarded to the UNHCR Project Manager before the start of the design
phase.
A primary responsibility of the A/E is to take charge of the overall project Page | 13
interdisciplinary coordination, including schedules, costs, sub‐consultants, permit
submittal, and all aspects of project management; and final contract documents must
give clear evidence that such has been the case.
01.08.01 Progress reports
Throughout the design process the A/E is required to monitor the
progress of the project and to provide bi‐weekly (or as differently stated
in the project schedule included in the SoW) progress report to the PM.
01.08.02 Formal Reviews of Design Documents
At the end of each design phase the A/E shall submit the design
documents to the UNHCR review team (on the delivery dates set out in
the SoW) who will review the submittals.
Depending on the value and the complexity of the works, UNHCR will set
up a team of professionals who will provide a set of comments for
revision/correction of the documents. The UNHCR Project Manager will
lead and coordinate the review team.
The project schedule shall allocate a minimum of ten working days for
each UNHCR review, after which the PM will forward a consolidated set of
comments to the A/E.
The A/E is responsible for the distribution of comments to the design
team and shall provide rebuttals in writing to each comment. If a
comment is rejected (and therefore not incorporated in the design) the
A/E shall provide a rationale for not incorporating the comment.
A/E responses will be discussed during the review meeting to be held
after the time agreed for review. Attendance by all parties involved in the
project (including final users/project owners) is required.
If the meeting is cancelled or not included in the specific SoW, responses
must be provided to the PM within one week after comments were
forwarded. Once comments are discussed, either at meetings or via email,
the A/E shall resolve issues and incorporate requested comments into the
documents.
The review process is not intended to relieve the A/E from its
responsibility to produce complete and coordinated documents.
Incomplete or poorly coordinated packages will be returned to the A/E
until they are deemed ready for review by UNHCR.

All submittal shall be available to UNHCR reviewers by the dates indicated in the
Design SoW. With the exception of the Concept Design Submittal, a minimum of ten
working days is required for UNHCR review and comments consolidation, unless
differently required by the SoW.
At the end of the review period, a review meeting shall be held with the participation
of all the UNHCR parties involved as final users/reviewers in the project. The A/E shall
keep minutes of the meeting and submit them within five working days from the
meeting.
At UNHCR Project Manager’s judgement, the review meetings may be suppressed
and/or replaced and/or integrated by “over‐the‐shoulder” review meetings, to be
held at the A/E’s office, in order to expedite the review process. The SoW shall
address this requirement in detail.
At UNHCR’s discretion, design can be partially or totally suspended and/or
interrupted at any stage of its development. In this case, the AE will be reimbursed
on the basis of the work performed, as amicably settled between the parties on the
basis of the agreed fee as indicated in the PO. Relevant deliverables shall be
submitted to UNHCR at their current completion stage.

02.02 Project start‐up
As soon as the SoW is signed and the related PO issued, the UNHCR Project Manager
will schedule a project start‐up meeting. Attendance by all parties involved in the
project is required.
The scope of the meeting is to achieve the maximum level of coordination and
cooperation among all of the project players.
Subject to specific requirements included in the specific SoW, attendance of the
entire design team is required.
The meeting outcome shall be:
 Review of the Project requirements and A/E SoW
 Review of the project schedule
 Review of the project budget and definition of cost control procedures

02.04 Concept Design Presentation and Review meeting
Based on the start‐up meeting outcome, the A/E shall prepare a concept design to be
presented to the project owners and to the PM before starting the development of
technical drawings and documents. The scope of the meeting is to achieve the
maximum level of coordination and cooperation among all of the project players.
Deliverables to be included in the presentation will be defined in the specific SoW.
The meeting outcome shall be the formalization of the requirements identified
during the start‐up meeting, through layouts, colour boards and any other document
to ensure that designers comply with UNHCR requirements and are on the right
track.
A copy of the Concept Design submittal shall be provided by the A/E to all of the
UNHCR reviewers.
After the presentation, the A/E shall collect all of the comments verbally expressed
by UNHCR reviewers and submit the minutes of the meeting after five working days
from the meeting itself.
02.05 Charrette Meeting
The Concept Design submittal can be replaced by a Charrette meeting during which
the A/E, with its own tools (laptop computers, printers, etc.), meets all the parties
involved in the project and prepares a Concept layout of the facility, in order to
proceed straight to the Interim Design submittal.
The Charrette is held typically within UNHCR premises in order to facilitate the
attendance of all the parties involved in the project as final users and/or reviewers.
02.06 Interim Design Submittal
02.06.01 Purpose
The purpose of the interim design submittal is to allow a review of the
design at a sufficient stage of technical development and to collect the
final comments from UNHCR representatives.
Unless unforeseen events occur (e.g. a change in operational
requirements), after the approval of the interim design, only technical
comments by technical reviewers shall be considered in the development
of the 100% (pre‐final and final) design.

Each Concept Design review comments sent to the A/E shall be returned
with each comment addressed. If the comment was incorporated into the
design, a response shall so indicate. If the comment was not incorporated,
an explanation shall be provided for not doing so.

02.07 Pre‐Final Design Submittal
02.07.01 Purpose
The scope of the 100% design review is to thoroughly review the
construction package provided by the A/E, in order to ascertain that it is
adequate to form the essential part of the construction contract to be
awarded by UNHCR on the basis of the outcome of the relevant tender
procedure.
This review stage is usually limited to technical players and final users
are not involved in it, unless major changes are required, on the basis of
large changes of operational requirement. In that case, the design
should go back for another interim review, against the new
requirements and an additional fee must be negotiated with the A/E, to
cover the additional required effort. The SoW shall be amended
accordingly.

An A/E internal technical review is required to ensure compliance with
project requirements, constructability adequacy, and a functional check.
The A/E shall submit plans and specifications in final form from its
viewpoint, thus preventing time‐consuming reviews of incomplete plans
and specifications.
Page | 20
Each Interim Design review comments sent to the A/E shall be returned
with each comment addressed. If the comment was incorporated into
the design, a response shall so indicate. If the comment was not
incorporated, an explanation shall be provided for not doing so.
02.07.02 Deliverables
Unless differently specified in the SoW, required deliverables include but
are not limited to:
a. Plans – coordinated, checked and complete from the A/E
viewpoint.
b. Mechanical drawings – Area for tube, coil, and filter etc. removal
shall be shown dotted and labelled. Piping and equipment
isometrics should be included for all but the simplest systems. If
space is limited, show dots in major equipment from other trades;
domestic hot water heater, electrical panels, etc. Consider use of
3D isometric layout for spaces that are crowded. Prior to final
submittal an overlay should be made of plumbing, mechanical,
electrical and communication equipment in the space to verify
required clearances and access space. The sequence of operation
for the automatic temperature control system should be shown
on the drawings.
c. Colour Design:
i. Finish schedule with colour code and columns completed
with the appropriate colour codes.
ii. Where other than usual painting or wall covering schemes or
ceramic wall tile, graphics, built‐in equipment or window
treatments are used, labelled floor plans, elevations and
sketches using the colour codes as necessary should be
drawn.
iii. A colour legend along with colour notes should be
completed referencing and specifying all finishes used in the
finish schedule.
iv. A colour board should be furnished identifying all finish
colours listed in the finish schedule, labelled with
appropriate colour codes. The board should be a reasonable,
transferable size (max A1 size).
d. Collateral Equipment: the A/E shall check with the Project
Manager that the footprint of all of the equipment to be
purchased or provided by UNHCR is included in the plans, and
labelled either as “UNHCRp/Ki” (UNHCR provided / Contractor
installed), or “UNHCRp/UNHCRi” (UNHCR provided / UNHCR
installed).


e. Administrative Specifications: General requirements of the

03. Design Drawings

03.01 General
Design Drawings usually consist of six main elements:
Page | 23
 Plans, which show horizontal relationships
 Elevations, which show the main features of the structure
 Sections and details which show either horizontal or vertical relationships,
generally to a larger scale for greater clarity and more complex content than can
be illustrated on plans and elevations
 Finish Schedules
 Equipment Schedules
 Diagrams
Drawings shall show:
 Location of each material assembly, component or accessory
 Sizes (thickness and all other significant dimensions) of all field‐assembled
components
 Identification (consistent with specification nomenclature) of all prefabricated or
pre‐assembled components or equipment described in the specifications
 Diagrams of specially fabricated connections
All drawings issued must be annotated with the author, checker and approver of the
drawings together with relevant signatures (electronic or print). Drawings must
contain the A/E seal and signatures and shall be deemed to be the contractual copy
of the relevant drawings at each project phase.
Drawings shall be drawn full size within the drawing model space with scaling of the
drawing to the required format on the drawing layout. The drawings legend shall
contain details of the units to which the drawing is dimensioned. The issuer shall
ensure consistency of the dimensions through all drawings prepared as part of the
project.
Each drawing shall contain a detailed legend, a scale bar and a north sign and where
required, a key plan of the relevant project site.
All drawings shall be prepared at standard scales (e.g. 1:100, 1:200, 1:50) unless
agreed otherwise. Should layouts contain a number of drawings of differing scales,
the title block shall state “as shown” and the relevant scales shall be contained
beneath the different drawings contained on the drawing sheet.
Drawings shall contain all information required to complete the works and /or refer
to other sources of information if required. All information shall be clear and
unambiguous and shall be consistent with all other drawings for the same location.
Drawing text type shall be the “Arial” type as contained within the AutoCAD text

Page | 26


04. Specifications

Included under design are the Specifications or "specs". This is a broad term encompassing
the written documents that are part of the construction contract, and apply to both the
general requirements and the technical aspects of the construction contract. Page | 27

04.01 General Conditions and Administrative Requirements.
The A/E shall include UNHCR General Conditions for Civil Works in the design
package as Specification Section 00 (in their latest approved version, as provided by
the UNHCR Project Manager).

04.02 Technical Specifications
Technical Specifications may be classified according to the way in which they
describe a requirement.
Regardless of the type of specification used, specifications shall clearly describe to
the bidders what is desired either in terms of functions, performance characteristics,
detailed design parameters, or any combination of these, depending on the selected
acquisition strategy.
04.02.01 Performance Specifications
In Design/ Build (DB) contracts “Performance Specifications” are
commonly used, while in more traditional Design/Bid/Build (DBB)
contracts, “Design Specifications” are the standard. However, it is
important to note that these categories are not necessarily rigid or
exclusive, since the Project Manual for a D/B contract may include a
more detailed design for a portion of the facility in which UNHCR
requirements are more stringent and less open to innovation and/or
contractor’s Construction Contractor (KTR)’s interpretation. On the
other hand, the Project Manual for a Design/Bid/ Build (DBB) contract
normally includes some sections in which the detailed design shall be
prepared by the contractor, e.g. the steel reinforcement.
Performance Specifications shall describe "performance required" as the
end product or results to achieve, rather than the method to be used in
achieving those results. Even though a "performance specification"
places significant risk on prospective contractors to meet a requirement,
it gives a great deal of flexibility in selecting the most suitable "means
and methods". Performance Specifications generally provide for a
significant amount of competition and innovation. Disadvantages
include some difficulty in establishing or describing the level of
performance required and in a difficult in evaluation of proposals.
04.02.02 Design Specifications.
Design Specifications are commonly used in DBB contracts. They shall
describe in great detail the exact physical materials, relationships,
locations etc. that UNHCR desires. They are generally taken to be the

most restrictive in terms of competition and are easier to enforce. Their
advantage consists of:
 a maximum control over the end product;
 the construction contract may be easily awarded since each bidder
is working off of the same information;
 they allow for a great deal of flexibility in the amount and type of
Page | 28
quality assurance since specific criteria are available to be
measured during all aspects of the project.
Disadvantages include lack of flexibility in alternative methods and
UNHCR assumption of increased liability for the design, and generally a
longer total project schedule.
There are several groups of "standard specifications" that are routinely
used in the construction industry. Reference Specifications are widely
used published specifications, incorporated in the project specification
by reference. Examples include European Union and U.S. standards, such
as DIN, ISO ASTM, ASHRAE, etc.
Architect‐Engineer (A/E) firms contracted by UNHCR to perform design
for UNHCR are generally required to use the U.S. Construction
Specification Institute (CSI) format, which has 16 standard divisions. The
CSI format is an industry standard, used worldwide in the private sector
for construction contracts. The use of CSI Format requires that the
construction contract be broken down into disciplines. It also separates
technical requirements from administrative requirements.
Specification sections shall be organised as follows:
 Division 00: General Conditions
 Division 01: Administrative requirements
 Division 02: Site Work
 Division 03: Concrete
 Division 04: Masonry
 Division 05: Metals
 Division 06: Wood and Plastics
 Division 07: Thermal and Moisture
 Division 08: Doors and Windows
 Division 09: Finishes
 Division 10: Specialties
 Division 11: Equipment
 Division 12: Furnishing
 Division 13: Special Construction
 Division 14: Conveying Systems
 Division 15: Mechanical
 Division 16: Electrical
With the exception of Specification Sections 00 (General Terms and
Conditions) and 01 (Administrative Requirements) the technical aspects
are described in Specification Divisions 02 through 16, which shall
contain the qualitative requirements for materials and workmanship,
including precise and detailed definitions to ensure use of correct
materials and methods of assembly.


Each division contains sections, which must tailor to the specific project
by:
Part 1 (General)
 Definitions
 Quality Assurance
 Submittals
Page | 29
 Product delivery, storage and handling
 Job conditions
 Alternatives and allowances
 Guarantee
Part 2 (Products)
 Materials
 Mixes
 Fabrication and manufacture
Part 3 (Execution)
 Inspection
 Preparation
 Installation
 Application
 Performance
 Erection
 Field quality control
 Adjustment & cleaning (incl. environmental protection, where
appl.)
 Schedules
04.02.03 Proprietary Requirements
Proprietary requirements describe the use of a specific manufacturer's
product, or limit the number of available sources to one. This practice is
inconsistent with UNHCR’s policy of promoting full and open
competition.
All proprietary specifications require approval by the UNHCR
Procurement Officer, in accordance with the estimated value of the
work or item.
It is however possible to reference specific products, by listing at least
three suitable manufacturers to be indicated in the spec, “or equal
approved”. "Or equal" requirements are a shortcut method of using a
make and model to describe the requirement, without actually requiring
that specific make and model.
04.02.04 Submittal Requirements
Concept Design Submittal: Submittal of Specifications is not required at
the Concept Design stage. However, a brief description of the project
features is required in order to explain the facility performance to the
final users.
Interim Design Submittal: As a minimum requirement, a complete list of
specification sections to be included in the final design is required as
part of the Interim Design submittal.

In addition to the list, the A/E shall submit the Specification package at
its actual development stage.
Pre‐Final Design Submittal: A complete set of specifications is required
as part of the Pre‐Final Design submittal, amended and integrated as per
the comments agreed during the Interim Design review.

as specified in Annex E to the A/E Contract or in UNHCR consultancy contract where
applicable.

Page | 48


11. Administrative Permits Applications

11.01 Construction Permit
Page | 49
The A/E may be required to prepare a feasibility study describing requirements and
procedures to obtain permits for construction from relevant authorities. That study
must be prepared as part of the Concept Design phase.
A dedicated design package may be required for applying for a construction permit;
the level of detail of such package is determined by the local regulations and shall be
described in the Concept Design feasibility study.
The Construction Permit Application package shall be prepared either between the
submittal of Concept Design and the Interim Design, or at any other time, depending
on the requirement included in Scope of Work or on the direction provided by
UNHCR Project Manager.
The cost of the Construction Permit Application package shall be negotiated as an
additional engineering service, on the base of the same contract rates used for other
items of the A/E’s performance, as specified in Annex E to the A/E Contract or in
UNHCR consultancy contract where applicable.

11.02 Fire Prevention Permit
The A/E may be required to prepare a Fire Prevention Application Package to obtain
a permit or authorization from the local Fire Authority, including drawings,
calculations, reports and forms, to comply with any local relevant regulations and
procedures.
The SoW will specify a list of services and deliverables to be provided in order to

12. Support to the UNHCR Technical Evaluation
Committee (TEC)

Page | 51
12.01 General
During the tender phase, the A/E may be required to assist the UNHCR Technical
Evaluation Committee (TEC).
While performing the above services, the A/E is required to exercise maximum
confidentiality. The signature of a non‐disclosure statement may be required at
discretion of the UNHCR Procurement Officer.
Those services shall be negotiated on the basis of hourly contract rates, as a closed
package of hours.
12.02 Pre‐Proposal / Bid Conference
Prior to the submission of tender proposals, all invited firms participate in a pre‐
proposal / bid conference.
A Pre‐Proposal / Bid conference may be used when UNHCR’s requirement is of a
complex nature. The purpose shall be to inform all potential bidders of the complex
nature and to explain the scope of work or technical specifications in detail. The
timing of the conference shall be as soon as possible after the release of the
solicitation document to give all bidders the opportunity to obtain sufficient
information to enable them to prepare Proposals and Bids.
Objective of the meeting is to get to a common and better understanding of the
project’s requirements and complexity, thus ensuring the most competitive price
proposals.
The visit and the meeting generally take place at the same time for all the firms
participating in the tender.
The A/E may be required, as an additional engineering service, to attend the
conference, in order to support the UNHCR Project Manager throughout the
discussion with potential bidders.
12.03 Clarifications
Any prospective bidder desiring an explanation or interpretation of the RFP, may
request this in writing (e‐mail is accepted) to the UNHCR Procurement Officer, in
time to allow a reply to reach all prospective bidders before the submission of their
bids. Technical responses are provided to the Procurement Officer by the Project
Manager.
The A/E may be therefore required to support the Project Manager during the
tender, in order to provide the required clarifications to bidders.
12.04 Submittal and Evaluation of Tender Proposals
UNHCR policy requires that construction works of any type are to be awarded as a
fixed‐cost contract, following a competitive process based on the “Best Value” (BV)
evaluation concept.

In the Best Value procedure for the award of construction contracts, the technical
criterion for award is normally between 60% and 70% of the overall proposal. Price is
therefore rated between 40% and 30%.
The A/E may be required to support the Project Manager during the UNHCR TEB in
the evaluation of tender proposals.
Page | 52
Such support may include:
a. Analysis of the proposed construction schedule to ascertain completeness,
feasibility and consistency.
b. Analysis of proposed materials/equipment for compliance to the tender
technical and/or performance specifications, including comparison among
proposals.
c. Any other technical evaluation criteria included in the RFP.
d. Analysis of the financial proposals to ascertain adherence to market prices
and economic reliability of the proposal.


13. Post Construction‐Award Services (PCAS)

Page | 53
13.01 General
After the award of the construction contract, the A/E may be required to provide
additional services to support the UNHCR PM during the construction and the
testing/commissioning phases. Such consultation may or may not be reimbursable as
follows:

13.02 Non‐Reimbursable Consultation
The A/E shall promptly provide consultation services without additional
compensation. Such consultation typically occurs in the form of a Request for
Information (RFI) from the UNHCR Project Manager.
Typically, RFIs include clarification on the intent of the drawings and specifications in
response to questions. Requests for clarification routinely arise during the course of
construction. They may result in preparation of amplified drawings, specifications,
amendments, change orders and cost estimates (to correct errors, omissions,
inconsistencies between drawings and specifications, conflict in dimensions, lack of
detail or poor design quality) in the drawings and specifications. Amplifying drawings,
specifications, amendments, change orders and cost estimates shall be prepared in
accordance with the provisions and standards set forth in this Design Manual. In such
cases, the A/E shall assure through discussions with the UNHCR Project Manager the
timing required for preparation of such documents to minimise delay to the
construction. It is expected that the A/E will provide a response to an RFI not later
than three working days after notification. Where the response to an RFI requires
additional time, the A/E shall notify the Project Manager as to the expected date of
response.

13.03 Reimbursable Consultation
In addition to non‐reimbursable consultation, reimbursable A/E services may be
required for specialized consultation with the Project Manager either at the site of
construction or in the A/E’s office regarding matters of a nature not included within
the fee agreed under the Sow Such consultations may include, but not be limited to:
a. Consultation regarding unforeseen problems or questions during construction.
b. Consultation on critical items during construction, including, but not limited to:
b.1 Assisting the Project Manager in final field checkout of basic mechanical
and electrical systems.
b.2 Witnessing final acceptance tests for HVAC and /or special systems.
b.3 Witnessing and certifying construction contractor’s compliance with field
test procedures for specialised mechanical, electrical and electronic
systems designed for the project. Such services shall be performed by
registered professional engineers and include the A/E certification of
compliance by the construction contractor with all specified or norm‐

required test procedures, a critique of the data obtained and the stated
results of the tests performed.
b.4 The preparation of all changes or additions to the drawings or
specifications, amendments, change orders and cost estimates resulting
from a change in scope, unforeseen conditions, or other modifications.
Such drawings, specifications, amendments, change orders and cost
Page | 54 estimates shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions and
standards set forth in this Design Manual. In such cases, the A/E shall
assure through discussions with the Project Manager the timing required
for preparation of such documents to minimise delay to the
construction.
b.5 Evaluation of construction KTR proposed exceptions or variations to the
contract requirements.
b.6 Evaluation of construction KTR’s value engineering change proposals.
13.04 Basis of Payment for Reimbursable Consultation
Payment for reimbursable consultation services, whether performed in the A/E’s
office or at the construction site, will be made on a cost per man‐day basis. The
number and cost of reimbursable consultation man‐days required both at the A/E’s
office and at the site will be discussed during fee negotiations. The SoW will stipulate
a lump sum price for consultation man‐days. This lump sum price is based on the
daily rates specified under the A/E Contract or in UNHCR consultancy contract where
the A/E’s office is located. For projects located outside of the country where the
A/E’s office is located, a specific rate shall be agreed upon. It should be noted that
although the agreed lump sum price for consultation reflects the anticipated amount
of consultation required, no minimum amount is guaranteed. Payment for
consultation services will be made on an “as requested” basis.
To establish the A/E’s cost per man‐day for office and site consultation services, the
A/E shall submit with its fee proposal the following unit prices for negotiation:
a. Labour cost per person (average cost per professional, including overhead and
profit, for 8 hours per day).
b. Labour cost per person associated with travel time (round trip) from the A/E’s
office to the site.
c. Travel cost per day (e.g. car operating cost or car rental)
d. Travel cost per trip in addition to the above (e.g. airfare) to the site, based on
UNHCR’s policy for travel.
e. Lodging and meal costs per day per person at the site, based on UNHCR’s official
Daily Subsistence Allowance (DSA) for the project location.
13.05 Requests for Consultation
Requests for A/E consultation during construction will be sent directly from the
Project Manager. In most cases, the A/E will receive such requests by telephone and
a follow‐up e‐mail.
13.06 Consultation Reports
Within 2 working days after each site consultation visit and/or completion of each
office consultation request the A/E shall e‐mail to the Project Manager a report of
the services rendered.
Each report shall include as a minimum:


a. A cover letter indicating the A/E and construction contract involved, the
telephone conversation or e‐mail requesting the site or office consultation, the
order number of the consultation and the A/E representatives who performed
the services with their titles.
b. A description of the services rendered.
c. Persons contacted and in attendance during the consultation as well as their
telephone numbers and E‐mail address. Page | 55
d. Problems encountered.
e. Recommended solutions and/or proposed milestones for resolution.
13.07 Evaluation of contractor‐proposed acceptance/variations of the contract document
In addition to the general requirements, consultation reports on A/E evaluation of
KTR’s proposed exceptions or variations to the contract documents shall address:
a. Whether the proposed substitution is of equal, better or lesser quality than the
design requirement.
b. If of lesser quality, the difference in value.
c. If of equal or better quality, the advantages to UNHCR in accepting the
substitution at no change in contract price.
13.08 Evaluation of construction contractor’s value engineering change proposals (VECPs)
The purpose of a VECP is to achieve savings in cost by adjusting the design so as to
permit more economical methods and materials of construction and still maintain
the operational, functional and aesthetic quality of the facility.
Note that a construction contractor VECP differs from a construction contractor
proposed variation or exception to the contract documents in that a VECP must
maintain at least the same level of quality as in the original design while a proposed
variation or exception could lower the quality of construction.
In the case of the acceptance of a VECP the construction contract may provide for a
contractor and UNHCR share in the savings resulting from the proposal while a full
credit (deduct) in the construction contract price is taken for approved variations or
exceptions which are of lesser quality than the original design.
In addition to the general requirements, consultation reports on A/E evaluation on
VECPs shall include:
a. The advantages and disadvantages of the VECP
b. Economic analysis and justification for recommending approval or rejection of
the VECP
In order to avoid tacit delays to construction, UNHCR processing time for VECPs is 15
working days from the date the Project Manager receives the VECP package from the
contractor. Accordingly, the A/E shall complete and forward consultation reports to
the Project Manager within 5 working days from the time of receipt. When the VECP
response requires additional time, the A/E shall notify the Project Manager as to the
expected date of responses.
13.09 Design Field Support
Unless supervision and Quality Control services (see paragraph 13.12 below) are
negotiated and contracted, the A/E has no field construction responsibilities. The
Project Manager is responsible for field administration and quality assurance. The
A/E shall, however at the UNHCR’s request, provide Design Field Support to assist the
Project Manager.

Design Field Support consists of periodic (either scheduled or random) site visits by
teams of the A/E personnel to observe and report on particular phases of
construction or problems, to ascertain the progress of construction and to assist the
Project Manager in quality assurance measures. The purpose of the team visits is to
ascertain whether work‐in‐place satisfactorily meets the design and to keep the A/E
aware of the status and quality of the construction. As a general rule, Design Field
Page | 56 Support is required for critical design elements or phases of the construction work.
The number of visits and A/E composition is based on the size and complexity of the
project. The request for a site visit and the preferred A/E team composition will be
determined by the Project Manager. Only the design disciplines directly involved
with that particular critical design element should make site visits. Visits will be
coordinated and scheduled the Project Manager to allow UNHCR to get maximum
benefit from each trip.
a. Number of site visits: The number of site visits and stage of construction, as well
as the required personnel team members will be determined by the Project
Manager and the A/E during the fee negotiation in accordance with the rates
specified in Annex E to the A/E Contract or in UNHCR consultancy contract
where applicable, on the basis of the project type, complexity and scale of the
construction.
b. A/E tasks and responsibilities for Design Field Support: A/E participants in the
site visits shall be alert and document the presence of perceived deficiencies in
the construction work, and shall note potential coordination problems.
Unless differently directed by the Project Manager, the A/E shall not conduct
tests of equipment or systems during site visits. Moreover, they shall not disturb
the work performed by the KTR in any manner that might cause the KTR to have
to perform additional work. The A/E shall provide construction contract
drawings and specifications for team participants to use during site visits.
At the conclusion of each visit, the A/E shall informally advise the Project
Manager of any observed deficiencies in construction or coordination problems.
Within 2 working days from the conclusion of the site visit, the A/E shall email a
report of all observed deficiencies in construction or coordination problems.
The report shall list the construction contract, the A/E firm and UNHCR
participants in the meetings and inspections and their specific disciplines and
roles.
Each observed construction deficiency shall be addressed separately in the
report by citing the specific construction contract requirement (specification
paragraph and/or drawing detail) which pertains to the observed deficiency and
stating specifically how the observed construction differs from that required in
the construction contract documents or from that intended by the designer.
The A/E should also comment on the advisability of corrective measures to be
taken in such instances, and comment on observed coordination problems. In
addition, although the A/E is not responsible for construction safety, serious life
safety hazards observed shall be included in the report.
13.10 Shop Drawings/Submittal Review
The A/E specification writer shall provide the list of systems, equipment and
materials deemed sufficiently critical or complex or aesthetically significant to merit
approval by UNHCR.


At the UNHCR’s option, checking of shop drawings/submittals and other data
submitted by the KTR for contract compliance and/or technical adequacy is an A/E’s
responsibility.
The KTR will be instructed to forward to the A/E’s office for review and technical
endorsement all shop drawings, manufacturer’s data, certifications and samples,
except those designated for exclusive UNHCR’s review and approval.
Page | 57
If the submittal requires compliance with the construction contract requirements the
A/E shall forward it to the Project Manager stamped as “contract compliant”.
If the submittal does not comply with the contract requirements and cannot be made
to comply by minor revisions and the contractor has not proposed and supported a
variation, the A/E shall forward it to the Project Manger stamped as “non contract
compliant” with a report explaining reasons for recommending disapproval.
13.10.01 Proposed Variations/Deviations from the contract requirements
If the contractor proposed a variation/deviation from the contract
requirements, it must be supported by the following information:
a. Reason for the proposed substitution/deviation.
b. If material or equipment is unavailable, document efforts made to
procure.
c. Complete technical data on the proposed substitution, sufficient to
determine acceptability.
d. Acknowledgement that all changes caused by the proposed
substitution will be the responsibility of the contractor and at no
additional cost to UNHCR.
e. Proposed change, if any, in the contract price and/or time.
These submittals should be reviewed but not stamped. A/E
comments/recommendations shall be noted and forwarded to the
Project Manager.
If the variation is approved by UNHCR the Project Manager will notify
the contractor and the A/E.
13.10.02 Approval/Disapproval by UNHCR of contractor submittals
The A/E shall forward all submittals, technically endorsed for
approval/disapproval, to the Project Manager no later than 10 working
days from receipt.
The Project Manager will forward notification of approval/disapproval to
the contractor and to the A/E within 5 working days from receipt.
If the submittal is not approved by UNHCR:
a. as non‐compliant with contract requirements or for any other reasons,
and
b. cannot be made to comply with minor revisions, and
c. the contractor has not proposed and supported a deviation from the
contract requirements,
the submittal shall be transmitted to the KTR and to the A/E stamped as
“DISAPPROVED”.

13.10.03 Miscellaneous aspects of Submittal review
When a submittal must be reviewed by the A/E because UNHCR
requirements have changed or the design needs to be corrected due to
deficiency, it must be forwarded to the Project Manager with an
explanation for the new requirements and the estimated change in
contract price/time for the contractor to comply with the new
Page | 58 requirements.
13.11 Record (“as‐built”) Drawings
Typically, the KTR is responsible for the preparation of as‐built drawings. At UNHCR’s
option, the A/E may be responsible for the review of drawings.
When this option is exercised, the A/E will be provided with an electronic copy of the
revised design drawings, indicating all changes occurred during construction.
As an alternative, the A/E may be responsible for the preparation of as‐built
drawings.
When this option is exercised, the A/E will be provided with marked hard copies of
design drawings.
Subsequently, the A/E shall check the marked copies to make sure that they reflect
the actual construction and transfer them into electronic format.
13.12 Construction Supervision and Quality Control Services
The A/E may be required to provide Supervision and Quality Control Services,
including field construction responsibilities (field administration and quality
assurance) that are typically carried over by the UNHCR Project Manager.
Subsequently, should these services be required, the A/E shall perform all duties
typically carried over by the UNHCR Project Manager, with the exception of:
a. Approval of changes and variations from the contract requirements.
b. Supervision of progress payments.
c. Coordination with final users.
d. Final approval of the facility, after the testing and commissioning phase.
Construction Supervision and Quality Control Services will be negotiated on the basis
of the required time effort, based on the expected duration of the construction work.
