Design
The following items should be considered:
- Understanding of the project objectives and constraints
- Thoroughness of and logical approach in problem analysis and exploration of alternatives
- Appropriateness of concept and sensitivity to context (physical and non-physical, image, site, geography, function, client, etc.)
- Functional/technical requirements: effectiveness of concept in providing for functional and technical requirements, including flexibility and expansion
- Aesthetic/spatial qualities and/or engineering "elegance"
- Functional performance for users: efficiency, safety, comfort and convenience, ease of operation and maintenance including engineering and architectural support elements/services
- Building science and engineering technology: equipment and construction systems, materials selections and detailing conducive to efficient construction and good life-cycle performance/economics; judgment in balancing between use of new technology vs. reliance on proven technology
Quality of results
The following items should be considered:
- Responsiveness to PWGSC/Client input
- Coverage of all aspects of process (all technical issues addressed, approval authorities, departmental procedures, etc.)
- Quality of studies including: comprehensive investigation work, logical analysis, firm and substantiated recommendations, clarity of presentation
- Quality of working documents (completeness, accuracy, co-ordination)
