    Submittals

  • 45

    These are services beyond the mainstream of Landscape Architecture, interfacing with allied professions. Due to trends in technology integration, the Landscape Architect who has gained either proficiency or reputation in interfacing fields may find a variety of engagements outside the mainstream practice.

    Scope and Definition of Specialized Landscape Design and Allied Services

  • 46

    The Landscape Architect may be engaged by a Client either for post-construction operations and maintenance or for evaluating the performance of the facility or Project after completion of construction.

    Introduction to Post Construction Services

  • 47

    The Landscape Architect, whether engaged independently by a Client or under the supervision of a third-party Project Manager, shall have its resident staff prepare, submit and maintain daily records of inspections, deliveries, notices to Contractors, requests by Contractors, work stoppages and test results, among others. The reports shall be in the prescribed format of the Landscape Architect or the Project Manager in the prescribed number of sets and shall be summarized into weekly and monthly accomplishment reports carrying a full assessment of the accomplished work, certificates of payments made, adjusted schedules of works-in-progress, minutes of meetings, and a full discussion of issues requiring action. These records shall be maintained and continually updated until the Project is turned-over and accepted by the Client.

    Reportorial Requirements for Resident Staff

  • 48

    The Landscape Architect, whether engaged independently by a Client or under the supervision of a third-party Project Manager, shall have its visiting staff prepare, submit and maintain records of inspections made, deliveries, requests of Contractors, work stoppages and test results, among others. The reports shall be in the prescribed format of the Landscape Architect or the Project Manager in the prescribed number of sets and shall be summarized into weekly or monthly accomplishment reports as may be agreed upon, carrying a full assessment of the accomplished work, certificates of payments made, minutes of meetings, adjusted schedules of works-in- progress and a full discussion of issues requiring action. These records shall be maintained and continually updated until the Project is turned-over and accepted by the Client.

    Reportorial Requirements for Non-Resident Staff on Site Visits

  • 49

    Where a facility has a considerable area of landscaped and semi-managed open space that require a landscape design intent to be maintained, the Landscape Architect’s role is to ensure that the design intent shall continue into the future through an overall landscape maintenance and grounds keeping regime in place. The Landscape Architect shall control and coordinate all maintenance and grounds keeping activities.

    Grounds keeping Maintenance Supervision

  • 50

    This involves the evaluation, among others, of how well the facility’s component spaces are used, the effectiveness of materials used for softscapes and hardscapes, and the overall functional effectiveness of the plan designs as constructed. Said evaluation is particularly important as a feedback mechanism in medium to large-scale phased developments, or for Projects that need to be site-adapted to several other separate Project sites.

    Post-Construction Evaluation

  • 51

    Salary compensation is usually based on a competitive basic rate with an attendant package of bonuses and benefits as may be agreed upon between the Client and the Landscape Architect.

    Salary Basis

  • 52

    The Landscape Architect‘s firm may be engaged for ______________ considering its relevant experience in cost control and forecasting, work scheduling, familiarity with materials, equipment and construction methods, contracting principles and procedures, local building , labor and safety codes, taxation and legal issues, among others. In this engagement, the independent third-party role of the Landscape Architect is entirely devoted to coordinating the work outputs and schedules of several planning, architectural, engineering and specialist Consultants and Contractors, as well as having a command of the Project’s financing insofar as this bears on the Project schedules and costs

    Introduction to Project Management

  • 53

    In regular consultation with the planning, architectural and engineering Consultants, the Project Manager shall advise the Client and the Consultants of the consequences of design decisions and options, and how these bear on schedules and costs. The Project Manager shall review plans, designs and specifications to enable him to advise on site conditions, appropriate materials alternates and the construction feasibility of various systems. He shall also prepare periodic evaluation and estimates of costs and how these relate to the overall budget, recommend early purchase of materials and equipment that require a long lead time of procurement, identify critical paths affecting work schedules and check bid packages and specifications to eliminate overlapping jurisdictions among service providers and Contractors.

    Planning and Design Phase

  • 54

    In concurrence with Consultants, the Project Manager shall review bids for compliance to stipulated conditions, make recommendations on awards of bids, observe works-in-progress for compliance with specifications, confer with the Consultants for the interpretation of plans, drawings and specifications, establish clear lines of authority and communication onsite to ensure the Contractors’ works-in-progress remain unimpeded and adhere to the design intent, obtain assurances in the form of organizational charts, staffing, and equipment complement onsite and established protocols of testing and acceptance procedures for materials and deliveries, maintain cost accounting records of all work components and a host of other coordinating and monitoring functions, including the review and approval of request payments by Contractors for accomplished work.

    Construction and Post-Construction Phase

  • 55

    The Landscape Architect, acting as Project Manager, has no legal responsibility under the law should the structure collapse or the edifice thereof fall within fifteen years from completion. For this reason, the Construction Manager and Project Manager are not allowed to, and should not, interfere in the design and construction aspect of the project.

    Legal Responsibility

  • 56

    The professional fee may be between two (2%) and five (5%) percent of the estimated Project cost. For government facilities, the Consultants’ rates for services are subject to similarly- situated provisions in the applicable laws, rules and regulations and guidelines on the Hiring of Consultants

    Percentage-Scale Charges Based on Project Cost

  • 57

    The Landscape Architecture profession is at times under pressure to deliver a Project on a single-point responsibility of design-and-build arrangement. The aim of such arrangement is the delivery of a Project at the shortest time possible.

    Introduction to Design and Build Engagements

  • 58

    No landscape design shall be offered by the Landscape Architect to the Client for free in exchange for obtaining the construction component of the package. It shall be the Landscape Architect’s responsibility to clearly indicate the delineation of these components and their corresponding costs. The design rates shall be competitive, typical of the industry, and appropriate to the scale and complexity of the work at hand.

    The Landscape Architect’s Responsibility in the Design Component of the Package

  • 59

    The Landscape Architect may opt for either a design-build arrangement by administration, or design-build on a guaranteed maximum cost. In either case, it is the Landscape Architect’s responsibility to clearly delineate the construction component of the package and its corresponding cost separate from design.

    The Landscape Architect’s Responsibility in the Construction Component Package

  • 60

    All costs for labor and materials are directly paid by the Client to the suppliers and the laborers or contractors. The Landscape Architect shall not advance any amount for expenditures connected with the Project. Although the Landscape Architect may prepare a detailed cost estimate of the Project, the estimate may be guaranteed only within a ten (10%) percent range of variance. Subject to the Client’s approval, the Landscape Architect shall appoint a construction superintendent, a purchasing agent, timekeeper(s) and property custodian from the usual labor required. The salaries of these personnel, including all fees and permits, shall be directly paid by the Client and not deductible from the Landscape Architect’s fee.

    Design-Build by Administration

  • 61

    The aspects of Build- Design by Administration shall apply, except that in a Design-Build on a Guaranteed Maximum Cost, the Landscape Architect guarantees the maximum cost of the Project. Furthermore, the Client shall advance a revolving capital to finance the construction. Any savings realized after the Project is completed is divided equally between the Client and the Landscape Architect. Any excess in cost within Ten Percent (10%) of the guaranteed maximum amount, shall be equally shouldered by the Client and the Landscape Architect. However, if the excess is more than Ten Percent (10%) of the guaranteed maximum cost, all such amount in excess of Ten Percent (10%) is to be assumed by the Landscape Architect.

    Design-Build on a Guaranteed Maximum Cost

  • 62

    The professional fee for this arrangement shall be seven (7%) of the Project construction cost over and above the Landscape Architect’s design fee. For the design fee, refer to Section 202 hereof, on Regular Landscape Architectural Design Services.

    Design-Build by Administration

  • 63

    The professional fee for this arrangement shall be either Ten Percent (10%) of the Project Construction cost or as tucked in the guaranteed maximum cost. However, the Landscape Architect’s design fee shall be over and above this amount. For the design fee, refer to Section 202 hereof, on Regular Landscape Architectural Design Services.

    Design-Build on a Guaranteed Maximum Cost

  • 64

    The Landscape Architect is liable for the design and construction, as provided under the law.

    Legal Responsibility

  • 65

    This is a widely used method of compensation for architectural services. It is fair for the Client and the Architect, as the fee is determined by the cost of the Project, which cost the Client is willing to undertake. It is flexible and easy to apply, since changes, additions or deductions of the work demanded by the Project or required by the Client would not require an amendment of the service agreement.

    Percentage of Construction Cost

  • 66

    This cost-based method of compensation is usually applicable only to non-creative work, such as accounting, secretarial, research, data gathering, supervision, preparation of reports or work of repetitive nature. This method does not account for creative work because the value of a creative design cannot be measured by the length of time the designer has spent on his work.

    Multiple of Direct Personnel Expenses

  • 67

    This method of compensation is used when the work involves a series of Projects. A fixed sum over and above the fee for the Landscape Architect’s technical time and overhead is established beforehand. In this method the general scope of work is necessary to determine an equitable fee.

    Professional Fee Plus Expenses

  • 68

    Some government agencies require a contract that establishes a fixed sum for architectural and engineering services. This method is often detrimental to the Client and the Landscape Architect. It is unfavorable to the Landscape Architect since his costs may exceed the agreed amount. It is critical to the Client since any change he makes, either during the design or construction stage, may add to the cost of construction and the Landscape Architect’s work. Consequently, every time a change is made, the Landscape Architect and the Client would have to supplement the contract to include the additional fee and time involved. Considering the bureaucracy of the government and large corporations, supplementing the original agreement may entail loads of paperwork and effort. Hence, the work of the Landscape Architect is bound to be delayed and the timetable for the Project upset.

    Lump Sum or Fixed Fee

  • 69

    In some cases, a Client may request the Landscape Architect to do work that would require his personal time, such as attending board meetings or conferences, ocular inspection of potential sites, or confer with others regarding prospective investments or ventures. For these, the Landscape Architect may be paid on a per diem basis, plus out-of-pocket expenses for travel, accommodations and meals, long distance telephone calls, secretarial services and the like, if any

    Per Diem Plus Reimbursable Expenses

  • 70

    These PALA Documents provide for more than one method of compensation on any particular Project. Each Project should be examined to determine the most appropriate method of compensation. These methods may also be combined to arrive at a mutually beneficial arrangement. E.g., Pre-Design services and construction supervision could be compensated on a multiple of direct personnel cost basis, while the regular, specialized and allied design services could be compensated on a percentage of construction cost basis.

    Mixed Methods of Compensation

  • 71

    Set out the Landscape Architect’s proposed work schedule according to the phases of work. A bar chart is occasionally required.

    Consultants’ Work Schedule

  • 72

    Itemize the ________________ in the Project (e.g., provision of data and Project brief, designate representative(s) for the Project, payment of reimbursable over and above the professional fee, escalation costs if any, ensuring the safety of the Landscape Architect’s staff for travel to and from, and while in, the Project site, and acknowledgement of credits and intellectual property).

No person without the written consent of the Landscape Architect or author of said documents shall duplicate or make copies of said documents for use in the repetition of and for other projects or buildings, whether executed partly or in whole.

    Submittals

  • 45

    These are services beyond the mainstream of Landscape Architecture, interfacing with allied professions. Due to trends in technology integration, the Landscape Architect who has gained either proficiency or reputation in interfacing fields may find a variety of engagements outside the mainstream practice.

    Scope and Definition of Specialized Landscape Design and Allied Services

  • 46

    The Landscape Architect may be engaged by a Client either for post-construction operations and maintenance or for evaluating the performance of the facility or Project after completion of construction.

    Introduction to Post Construction Services

  • 47

    The Landscape Architect, whether engaged independently by a Client or under the supervision of a third-party Project Manager, shall have its resident staff prepare, submit and maintain daily records of inspections, deliveries, notices to Contractors, requests by Contractors, work stoppages and test results, among others. The reports shall be in the prescribed format of the Landscape Architect or the Project Manager in the prescribed number of sets and shall be summarized into weekly and monthly accomplishment reports carrying a full assessment of the accomplished work, certificates of payments made, adjusted schedules of works-in-progress, minutes of meetings, and a full discussion of issues requiring action. These records shall be maintained and continually updated until the Project is turned-over and accepted by the Client.

    Reportorial Requirements for Resident Staff

  • 48

    The Landscape Architect, whether engaged independently by a Client or under the supervision of a third-party Project Manager, shall have its visiting staff prepare, submit and maintain records of inspections made, deliveries, requests of Contractors, work stoppages and test results, among others. The reports shall be in the prescribed format of the Landscape Architect or the Project Manager in the prescribed number of sets and shall be summarized into weekly or monthly accomplishment reports as may be agreed upon, carrying a full assessment of the accomplished work, certificates of payments made, minutes of meetings, adjusted schedules of works-in- progress and a full discussion of issues requiring action. These records shall be maintained and continually updated until the Project is turned-over and accepted by the Client.

    Reportorial Requirements for Non-Resident Staff on Site Visits

  • 49

    Where a facility has a considerable area of landscaped and semi-managed open space that require a landscape design intent to be maintained, the Landscape Architect’s role is to ensure that the design intent shall continue into the future through an overall landscape maintenance and grounds keeping regime in place. The Landscape Architect shall control and coordinate all maintenance and grounds keeping activities.

    Grounds keeping Maintenance Supervision

  • 50

    This involves the evaluation, among others, of how well the facility’s component spaces are used, the effectiveness of materials used for softscapes and hardscapes, and the overall functional effectiveness of the plan designs as constructed. Said evaluation is particularly important as a feedback mechanism in medium to large-scale phased developments, or for Projects that need to be site-adapted to several other separate Project sites.

    Post-Construction Evaluation

  • 51

    Salary compensation is usually based on a competitive basic rate with an attendant package of bonuses and benefits as may be agreed upon between the Client and the Landscape Architect.

    Salary Basis

  • 52

    The Landscape Architect‘s firm may be engaged for ______________ considering its relevant experience in cost control and forecasting, work scheduling, familiarity with materials, equipment and construction methods, contracting principles and procedures, local building , labor and safety codes, taxation and legal issues, among others. In this engagement, the independent third-party role of the Landscape Architect is entirely devoted to coordinating the work outputs and schedules of several planning, architectural, engineering and specialist Consultants and Contractors, as well as having a command of the Project’s financing insofar as this bears on the Project schedules and costs

    Introduction to Project Management

  • 53

    In regular consultation with the planning, architectural and engineering Consultants, the Project Manager shall advise the Client and the Consultants of the consequences of design decisions and options, and how these bear on schedules and costs. The Project Manager shall review plans, designs and specifications to enable him to advise on site conditions, appropriate materials alternates and the construction feasibility of various systems. He shall also prepare periodic evaluation and estimates of costs and how these relate to the overall budget, recommend early purchase of materials and equipment that require a long lead time of procurement, identify critical paths affecting work schedules and check bid packages and specifications to eliminate overlapping jurisdictions among service providers and Contractors.

    Planning and Design Phase

  • 54

    In concurrence with Consultants, the Project Manager shall review bids for compliance to stipulated conditions, make recommendations on awards of bids, observe works-in-progress for compliance with specifications, confer with the Consultants for the interpretation of plans, drawings and specifications, establish clear lines of authority and communication onsite to ensure the Contractors’ works-in-progress remain unimpeded and adhere to the design intent, obtain assurances in the form of organizational charts, staffing, and equipment complement onsite and established protocols of testing and acceptance procedures for materials and deliveries, maintain cost accounting records of all work components and a host of other coordinating and monitoring functions, including the review and approval of request payments by Contractors for accomplished work.

    Construction and Post-Construction Phase

  • 55

    The Landscape Architect, acting as Project Manager, has no legal responsibility under the law should the structure collapse or the edifice thereof fall within fifteen years from completion. For this reason, the Construction Manager and Project Manager are not allowed to, and should not, interfere in the design and construction aspect of the project.

    Legal Responsibility

  • 56

    The professional fee may be between two (2%) and five (5%) percent of the estimated Project cost. For government facilities, the Consultants’ rates for services are subject to similarly- situated provisions in the applicable laws, rules and regulations and guidelines on the Hiring of Consultants

    Percentage-Scale Charges Based on Project Cost

  • 57

    The Landscape Architecture profession is at times under pressure to deliver a Project on a single-point responsibility of design-and-build arrangement. The aim of such arrangement is the delivery of a Project at the shortest time possible.

    Introduction to Design and Build Engagements

  • 58

    No landscape design shall be offered by the Landscape Architect to the Client for free in exchange for obtaining the construction component of the package. It shall be the Landscape Architect’s responsibility to clearly indicate the delineation of these components and their corresponding costs. The design rates shall be competitive, typical of the industry, and appropriate to the scale and complexity of the work at hand.

    The Landscape Architect’s Responsibility in the Design Component of the Package

  • 59

    The Landscape Architect may opt for either a design-build arrangement by administration, or design-build on a guaranteed maximum cost. In either case, it is the Landscape Architect’s responsibility to clearly delineate the construction component of the package and its corresponding cost separate from design.

    The Landscape Architect’s Responsibility in the Construction Component Package

  • 60

    All costs for labor and materials are directly paid by the Client to the suppliers and the laborers or contractors. The Landscape Architect shall not advance any amount for expenditures connected with the Project. Although the Landscape Architect may prepare a detailed cost estimate of the Project, the estimate may be guaranteed only within a ten (10%) percent range of variance. Subject to the Client’s approval, the Landscape Architect shall appoint a construction superintendent, a purchasing agent, timekeeper(s) and property custodian from the usual labor required. The salaries of these personnel, including all fees and permits, shall be directly paid by the Client and not deductible from the Landscape Architect’s fee.

    Design-Build by Administration

  • 61

    The aspects of Build- Design by Administration shall apply, except that in a Design-Build on a Guaranteed Maximum Cost, the Landscape Architect guarantees the maximum cost of the Project. Furthermore, the Client shall advance a revolving capital to finance the construction. Any savings realized after the Project is completed is divided equally between the Client and the Landscape Architect. Any excess in cost within Ten Percent (10%) of the guaranteed maximum amount, shall be equally shouldered by the Client and the Landscape Architect. However, if the excess is more than Ten Percent (10%) of the guaranteed maximum cost, all such amount in excess of Ten Percent (10%) is to be assumed by the Landscape Architect.

    Design-Build on a Guaranteed Maximum Cost

  • 62

    The professional fee for this arrangement shall be seven (7%) of the Project construction cost over and above the Landscape Architect’s design fee. For the design fee, refer to Section 202 hereof, on Regular Landscape Architectural Design Services.

    Design-Build by Administration

  • 63

    The professional fee for this arrangement shall be either Ten Percent (10%) of the Project Construction cost or as tucked in the guaranteed maximum cost. However, the Landscape Architect’s design fee shall be over and above this amount. For the design fee, refer to Section 202 hereof, on Regular Landscape Architectural Design Services.

    Design-Build on a Guaranteed Maximum Cost

  • 64

    The Landscape Architect is liable for the design and construction, as provided under the law.

    Legal Responsibility

  • 65

    This is a widely used method of compensation for architectural services. It is fair for the Client and the Architect, as the fee is determined by the cost of the Project, which cost the Client is willing to undertake. It is flexible and easy to apply, since changes, additions or deductions of the work demanded by the Project or required by the Client would not require an amendment of the service agreement.

    Percentage of Construction Cost

  • 66

    This cost-based method of compensation is usually applicable only to non-creative work, such as accounting, secretarial, research, data gathering, supervision, preparation of reports or work of repetitive nature. This method does not account for creative work because the value of a creative design cannot be measured by the length of time the designer has spent on his work.

    Multiple of Direct Personnel Expenses

  • 67

    This method of compensation is used when the work involves a series of Projects. A fixed sum over and above the fee for the Landscape Architect’s technical time and overhead is established beforehand. In this method the general scope of work is necessary to determine an equitable fee.

    Professional Fee Plus Expenses

  • 68

    Some government agencies require a contract that establishes a fixed sum for architectural and engineering services. This method is often detrimental to the Client and the Landscape Architect. It is unfavorable to the Landscape Architect since his costs may exceed the agreed amount. It is critical to the Client since any change he makes, either during the design or construction stage, may add to the cost of construction and the Landscape Architect’s work. Consequently, every time a change is made, the Landscape Architect and the Client would have to supplement the contract to include the additional fee and time involved. Considering the bureaucracy of the government and large corporations, supplementing the original agreement may entail loads of paperwork and effort. Hence, the work of the Landscape Architect is bound to be delayed and the timetable for the Project upset.

    Lump Sum or Fixed Fee

  • 69

    In some cases, a Client may request the Landscape Architect to do work that would require his personal time, such as attending board meetings or conferences, ocular inspection of potential sites, or confer with others regarding prospective investments or ventures. For these, the Landscape Architect may be paid on a per diem basis, plus out-of-pocket expenses for travel, accommodations and meals, long distance telephone calls, secretarial services and the like, if any

    Per Diem Plus Reimbursable Expenses

  • 70

    These PALA Documents provide for more than one method of compensation on any particular Project. Each Project should be examined to determine the most appropriate method of compensation. These methods may also be combined to arrive at a mutually beneficial arrangement. E.g., Pre-Design services and construction supervision could be compensated on a multiple of direct personnel cost basis, while the regular, specialized and allied design services could be compensated on a percentage of construction cost basis.

    Mixed Methods of Compensation

  • 71

    Set out the Landscape Architect’s proposed work schedule according to the phases of work. A bar chart is occasionally required.

    Consultants’ Work Schedule

  • 72

    Itemize the ________________ in the Project (e.g., provision of data and Project brief, designate representative(s) for the Project, payment of reimbursable over and above the professional fee, escalation costs if any, ensuring the safety of the Landscape Architect’s staff for travel to and from, and while in, the Project site, and acknowledgement of credits and intellectual property).
