SCHEDULE–2 SCOPE OF WORKS SCHEDULE-2 (PART-A) -DESIGN DEVELOPMENT (a) Concept Design Development i. The DCMA shall prepare Master Plan for the entire DSC premises. In the Master plan, the envisaged development shall be conceptualized as would be required for the preparation of detailed designs, drawings and detailed costing of the Project. The DCMA shall carry out their own assessment and propose innovative concepts and design in compliance with the requirements, such that maximum possible extent of the available land area is utilised with adequate provision of area spared for future expansion. ii. The DCMA shall assess demand for all necessary infrastructure and services including but not limited to internal/external roads, water supply, sewerage, streetlight, storm water drainage, solid waste management and electrical power supply and provide infrastructure layout and designs for the same. iii. The DCMA shall prepare design brief based on instruction/directives of Authority iv. The DCMA shall prepare conceptual plans and architectural drawings for the DSC as would be required for the preparation of detailed designs, drawings and detailed costings of the Project v. The DCMA shall provide comprehensive list of the exhibits which shall be divided on the basis of Interactive, Static, Kinetic, Audio visuals. vi. The DCMA shall prepare visitor route map and circulation plan for the Project with approximate time to visit the project and gallery. The Route map shall start from the entry point of the site and cover all the project facilities/gallery and shall terminate at the exit of the DSC vii. Peak capacity of the number of visitors for the project shall be determined by the DCMA. For the development of each of the District Science Centres in Gujarat, the Authority will allot a land of approximately 2 acres in the 16 Districts in Gujarat. The District Science Centres will ensure the last mile reach for science communication efforts of the Authority and will be aligned and in-sync with Regional Science Centres established/planned in the state. Each DSC is envisaged to have common set of spaces across each centre and an exhibition gallery space (with basic science themes in addition to district specific subjects) . It is envisaged to have a centre with a total BuA (Built-up Area) of approximately 2,800 sq.m. in a two-storey structure. The BuA will be utilised as below: Permanent Galleries: Three thematic exhibition gallery spaces of total 600 sq.m. (approx.) with a minimum clear floor height of 3.6m (or as per functional IS codes, requirements & design intent) pertaining to basic science themes of : 1. Bio-Science Science Based: Focused areas include Environment, Forest, Mountain, Natural Resources, Life Science, Geography, Geology and Chemistry 2. Physical Science Based: Covering a spectrum of disciplines such as Physical Science, Mathematics, Engineering Electronics, Computer Science, Information Technology, Deep learning, AI and ML. 3. District and Regional Based: District and regional specific traditional technologies, traditional crafts and innovations, Local Culture and architecture and themes related to distinct & unique features of the respective district. However, DCMA could propose relevant and additional themes, which may be included in consultation with Authority. It is envisaged that each experiential exhibition gallery shall have a mix of static, dynamic, interactive, engaging and hands-on exhibits utilizing latest display, projection and other technologies. Bidders may refer existing Exhibits developed at Ahmedabad Science City and existing Regional Science Centres and develop unique and distinct engaging experiences accordingly. The balance 2,200 sq.m. (approx.) of the development with a minimum clear floor height of 3.6m (or as per functional IS codes, requirements & design intent) shall be utilized for the below mentioned spaces: • An Auditorium (100 seater) • 8 m diame
