Provide the appropriate number of secure bicycle storage facilities, showers and changing facilities. These should be clearly marked on project drawings (see the Documentation Toolkit for an example).
Review all Design credit submittals as documentation comes in from all the team members. If you are doing a phased submittal, submit all Design credits at the end of Construction Documents.
Include submittal requirements within each targeted construction spec section and add general requirements to the Division 1 bid package. Include a copy of any submittal documents that the contractor may need to fill out.
Whenever possible, designate in the construction specifications that contractors use specific sources that you have verified as suppliers of reused items. This will help save research time for the contractors.
Analyze the initial cost budget to know what materials the project can target and incorporate LEED requirement language accordingly into construction specs for the specific materials. The contractor will appreciate not having to fill out forms for materials that are not reused, or that have so little cost value that it is a waste of time.
Incorporating the LEED requirements directly into the drawings and specs is a good way to remind the contractor and subcontractors of the requirements.
