Pre-design and Interim Design Conference

A Pre-design Conference attended by the Loan recipient’s designee and the consulting engineer is held at the offices of the Loan recipient. At a minimum, the considerations for the SRF Loan Program loan, design, and general issues listed in the table below are discussed at the Pre-design Conference.


Interim Design Conferences

Interim Design Conferences attended by the consulting engineer and the engineering staff responsible for the design of the project are usually held at the consulting engineer´s office. Interim Design Conferences are generally held at the 30-percent and 80-percent design completion stages or on an as-needed basis. A 30-percent Interim Design Conference concentrates on basic design information including facility location, arrangement of structures, geotechnical investigation results, status of easement acquisitions, Inter-municipal Agreements, required ordinances and permits, and project scheduling. An 80-percent Interim Design Conference focuses on specific design features and the means and methods necessary to construct the planned facility.
