  1.10     (a) "Predesign" means the highly focused planning process 
  1.11  that defines the scope, cost, and schedule of the complete 
  1.12  project and provides instructions to design professionals.  
  1.13  Predesign plans must include sufficient detail to demonstrate 
  1.14  that all elements necessary to make the project functional are
