SUCCESS.
How team members are organized, establishes when parties engage, determines
roles of parties, and determines sequence of design, procurement, and
construction (db., car, dB) answer >>>> Project Delivery system
How team members are selected (QBS, best value, low price, sole source) answer
>>>> Procurement Method
How team members are paid (FP, gimp, cost reimbursement, target price, unit
price) answer >>>> Contracting approach
linear, sequential process, A/E selected on qualifications, GC selected on low
price, design is fully completed without input from GC, A/E acting in owner's
interests, with a historically strong bond, process is well-established and
understood answer >>>> Design-Bid-Build
Similar structure to DBB, construction manager selected by QBS or best value,
contractor provides person services, negotiated gimp contracting approach, open
book estimating process, potential to fast track project, construction cost
determined before design completed, potential issues over what is reasonably
inferable from gimp design documents. answer >>>> CM@Risk
Owner contracts with one entity to provide both design and construction services,
designer and contractor have a direct contractual relationship answer >>>>
Design-Build
,DBIA
How is Design-Builder selected answer >>>> Qualification-Based or best value
similar to design build, in industrial and power generation sectors, systems and
performance testing are central to scope, contractor will typically perform
engineering with its in-house staff, owner has need for single point responsibility,
contracts include plant and process performance guarantees, contract items
include performance and schedule liquidated damages and limitations of liability
answer >>>> Engineer Procure Construct
owner contracts with multiple trade contractors, attributes are typically similar to
DBB, owner's ability to schedule and coordinate the work answer >>>> Multiple
Prime Contract
multi-party agreement - all parties equal, QBS procurement and target pricing
contract approach, private sector use (limited at this time), key: owner's ability to
accept risk answer >>>> Integrated Project Delivery
instead of government building and maintaining major infrastructure (such as
highway, water treatment plant), build and maintenance is outsourced to a
private company. Opposed by public sector unions. this is not considered a
delivery system but its underlying approaches are delivery systems and typically
use DB. multiple procurement and contracting approaches answer >>>> Public-
Private-Partnership
Intense efforts to establish scope early in the process; drives early team formation
to include key trade subcontractors; can enable big decisions to be made early,
affect project outcomes at lower cost, establish a need for location and
collaboration, and compress times during concurrent design and construction
answer >>>> shift left
, DBIA
Typically, two-phase best value procurement with lump sum contract; owner
defines project requirements and scope of prescriptive work; use of performance-
based technical requirements with limited perspective specifications answer >>>>
traditional design build
design and procurement are progressively developed after the design-builder is
under contract; final project cost and schedule commitment is not established as
part of the selection process; two phases; preliminary services and final design
and construction services answer >>>> Progressive design build
What documents describe the end result answer >>>> Criteria documents
Prescribes how to achieve the end result answer >>>> Bridging Documents
Prior to bidding, owner undertakes a process to design the project and all of its
details to 100% complete plans and specs. The owner is therefore responsible for
success or failure of details of the design, and warrants the sufficiency of design
to the contractor. The owner is therefore liable to the contractor for any gaps
between plans and specs and owner's requirements for project performance
answer >>>> Design bid build paradigm
The owner should define its performance requirements and award the contract
on the basis of preliminary design; this makes the design-builder responsible for
completing the design in accordance with the owner's performance
requirements. That also causes the design-builder to warrant the sufficiency of
the design to meet the owner's criteria and the sufficiency of the design to
subcontractors/suppliers that have no design responsibility answer >>>> Design
details responsibility
