Electronic Information Manager(s) The BEP will identify the persons responsible for managing and executing the responsibilities of this section. Pre-Design Site Survey Modeling If the A-E scope of services includes surveying the existing project site and preparing a model of the existing facilities, the BEP will include the following: Description of tasks and schedule for developing the pre-design model; Description of recommended methodology for developing the existing site information, such as: Development of model based on as-built documents for facility; Optical surveying facility to develop a new model or validate the accuracy of existing information used to create a model; Laser scanning all or a portion of the facility to develop new model or validate the accuracy of existing information used to create a model; or Combination of tasks or approaches to accomplish the goals. If laser scanning is required or will be used by the A-E, the BEP should identify: Primary and secondary objectives of laser scanning; Areas of Interest; Resolution requirements and measurement units; Type of deliverable; Control network or other dimensional control; and Quality control procedures. A-E should use the GSA BIM Guide for 3D Imaging () in developing this portion of the BEP. Interoperability A-E is responsible for selecting BIM software that is adequate for A-E's tasks. Moreover, A-E must demonstrate that the software used by it and its consultants can exchange BIM information reliably and accurately and can read and export BIM information into open source file formats to the extent required in Section 4.2. NASA's listing of BIM software is not a recommendation that any specific product or products be used, nor is it a representation or warranty as to the adequacy of the software product or of its ability to exchange BIM information reliably and accurately. BIM Software NASA accepts object oriented software applications that comply with current industry interoperability standards and are able to be used in a collaborative environment. All software platforms used for NASA projects will be compliant with: The most current version of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) file format • Commercially available collaboration software that provides interoperability between the • different software applications (see below).
