University of Florida BIM Guidelines and Standards 1.8. BIM Software and Information Exchange 1.8.1. Design Tools The professional shall develop the design at each stage using building information modeling (BIM) software and related technologies – specifically, the 2011 or later versions of Autodesk "Revit Architecture" for Architectural content, Autodesk "Revit Structure" for structural content, and Autodesk "Revit MEP" for Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, and Telecom/Technology content. 1.8.2. Information Exchange 1.8.2.1. Collaboration Tools For general project correspondence and milestone/phase BIM deliverables, the team will use the UF SharePoint platform as a means of sharing and storing information. During the design phase, BIM-related files utilized by the design team will be shared through the FTP site of the lead Architect. During the construction phase, BIM-related files may be shared utilizing either the Construction Managers FTP site or the UF SharePoint FTP site. 1.8.2.2. Version Control In recent years, BIM software platforms have incorporated substantial changes and/or advancements in their programs, technologies, capabilities, features, interoperability, etc. through annual software upgrades. It shall be the Design Team BIM Manager’s responsibility to monitor and regulate software version updating if required during the course of the Project. It is understood that a number of the software tools utilized in this BIM Execution Plan are not backwards compatible and must be carefully synchronized. Since the majority of the BIM software platforms utilized on this project do not contain backward capabilities, the entire Project Team will need to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of performing software upgrades during the design phase, and reach an agreement on whether or not to proceed with such upgrades if/when they may become available. 1.8.2.3. Agreements 1.8.2.3.1. Electronic File Transfer Agreement (EFTA), Access Rights This language shall be discussed and agreed upon by the team. It is recognized that various firms may have corporately executed EFTA protocols that will have to be addressed. Typically, the Construction Manager, will sign and return to the Architect of record an Electronic File Transfer Agreement (EFTA) relative to BIM Files utilized by Contractor, Subcontractors or BIM Execution Plan- UF Minor Projects Template UF-000 10 of 20 pages
University of Florida BIM Guidelines and Standards 1.9. Modeling Plan Other Third Party Recipients. The executed EFTA will constitute an agreement between Architect and the Construction Manager and any of the CM’s Subcontractors and/or Subsubcontractors granted access to the Model files. 1.8.2.3.2. Intellectual Property Rights The Model Files are considered the intellectual property of the Model authors. Sharing of the Models does not affect the Model author’s copyright or intellectual property rights in any way. 1.8.2.3.3. Owner’s Use of Models The Owner will have unlimited use of the Design Models produced for the Project. The Owner acknowledges that the Design Models are an Instrument of the Designer’s Service and that the Designer does not represent or guarantee that the Models will be useful to the Owner for any purposes beyond those uses that they were authored for. 1.9.1. General Directives Advanced planning around which models will be required during the different phases of the project, the responsible party(s) for model update and distribution, and predetermination of model content and format will help the project run more efficiently and cost-effectively during every phase. 1.9.2. Model Management Unless otherwise agreed upon in this BIM Execution Plan, the Project Architect of Record shall be established as the lead party responsible for managing the design model, and shall facilitate the establishment of initial protocols relating to model management. Subsequently, the model manager from each design discipline may have specific responsibilities as deemed necessary and agreed upon by the project team. 1.9.2.1. Model Creation Strategies Each party - such as the Owner, Architect, Contractor, or Sub-Consultants that are responsible for contributing or receiving modeling content will be required to assign a model manager to the project. Each respective model manager shall help coordinate and attend all such meetings related to the BIM Execution Plan. As the project progresses into the construction phase, various responsibilities for Model management may be assigned to the Construction Manager as agreed upon in this BIM Execution Plan. The final As-Built Deliverable will be turned over to Owner’s Project Manager. 1.9.2.2. Techniques and Protocols BIM Execution Plan- UF Minor Projects Template UF-000 11 of 20 pages
