Project Delivery System 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 how team members are selected (QBS, best
value, low price, sole source)
contracting approach how team members are paid (fp, gmp, cost
reimbursement, target price, unit price)
,Design-Bid-Build (DBB) 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 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 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) 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 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) 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) 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 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
traditional design build 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 prescriptive specifications
