Questions & Answers {Grade A} 100%
Correct
Project Delivery System - correct answer How team members are organized,
establishes when parties engage, determines roles of parties, and determines
sequence of design, procurement, and construction (db, cmar, dbb)
Procurement Method - correct answer how team members are selected (QBS, best
value, low price, sole source)
contracting approach - correct answer how team members are paid (fp, gmp, cost
reimbursement, target price, unit price)
Design-Bid-Build (DBB) - correct answer 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
construction manager at risk - correct answer similar org structure to DBB,
construction manager selected by QBS or best value, contractor provides precon
services, negotiated gmp 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 gmp design
documents
Design-Build - correct answer The owner contracts with one entity (a person or
firm) to provide both design and construction services, designer and contractor
have a direct contractual relationship, selected by QBS or best value, wide
spectrum of contracting approaches and organizational structures, single point
responsibility, owner does not manage designer, owner exposure to claims is
significantly reduced
,engineer procure construct (epc) - correct answer 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
Multiple Prime Contracting - correct answer owner contracts with multiple trade
contractors, attributes are typically similar to dbb, owner's ability to schedule and
coordinate the work
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) - correct answer 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
, public-private partnership (p3) - correct answer 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
shift left - correct answer 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 lowest cost, establish a need
for co-location and collaboration, and compress time during concurrent design and
construction
