As various firms tend to use their own definitions of "model level", MD Anderson is not specifying a "level of model development" as defined by the AIA. The model is a part of the overall deliverable package as described in the RFQ and the Owners Design Guidelines. MD Anderson primary focus is to receive a DATA RICH model that contains all the information and model components necessary for the long term maintenance and future renovations of the facility. To this end, every technical connection, such as steel connections, gypboard layout, screw patterns, etc. do not need to be modeled for MD Andersons use. The physical properties of construction types and methods, finishes, equipment, systems and their corresponding specifications and documentation as defined in the RFQ and here within should be contained within the model(s) as well as accurate modeling of the physical components themselves.
