›	the preparation of planning sheets for the preferred variants inclusive cost evaluations.

2. Engineering Performance

›	Basic findings on technical equipment (property planning of systems-control technology and safety technology) following the example of performance phase 1 in keeping with HOAI [honorarium regulation for architects and engineers]
›	Feasibility study
