DBIA: Principles of Design-Build and
Post Award & Contracts, Project
Delivery
Cooperative Contracting model that is characterized by collaboration and aligning
values, goals and objectives amongst owner, architect and contractor. Shares Risk
among all participants. - ✔️✔️Alliance Contract
A breach of contract remedy used when the subject is very unique and the party must
perform contract obligations under the contract. Example: Steel made specifically for
one job site. - ✔️✔️Specific Performance
Maintains control of budget and design process between major estimate phases -
✔️✔️Trend estimating
Fastest Project Delivery method, fast tracking possible overlapping design with
construction utilizing incremental packages. - ✔️✔️Design Build
Procurement Method - Common for A/E - ✔️✔️Negotiated (Qualifications Based)
Contract Format - Combines Cost-Plus & Lump-Sum, contractor reimbursed for actual
cost plus a fee only up to a certain amount. - ✔️✔️GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price)
Contract Format - cost per piece - ✔️✔️Unit Price
Successful Design Build requires _____ & _______ between participants - ✔️✔️Trust,
Flexibility
Singular responsibility for both design & construction was first made into a building code
by ____ - ✔️✔️Hammurabi
Owner provided items such as 20% design or more and provides prescriptive specs at
RFP. - ✔️✔️Bridging Documents
Single point of responsibility for both design & construction is an attribute of what
delivery method? - ✔️✔️Design Build
The process of checking milestones along the way for completeness. -
✔️✔️Substantiation
, Owner requiring specific products or methods be instituted by DB team in order to
achieve desired performance. - ✔️✔️Prescriptive
T/F Detailed estimating is the Building systems approach to estimating - ✔️✔️False
T/F feasibility estimate is cost model and establishes budget for project - ✔️✔️False
T/F key element of quality assurance is keeping communication lines open between
owner and DB - ✔️✔️True
T/F in Design/cost relationship of DB, the constructor establishes design parameters for
architect - ✔️✔️True
T/F trust is most important thing for DB - ✔️✔️False
DB estimating sequence where 15%-20% of design is completed - ✔️✔️Schematic
estimating
Allows all federal agencies to utilize Design-Build. Prior to that no enabling legislation
existed allowing Design-Build. What Year? - ✔️✔️Clinger Cohen Act/Defense
Procurement Reform Act 1996
The level of quality that any average Design Professional would be able to perform
given the circumstances. - ✔️✔️Standard of Care
Provides baseline budgets and schedules and list estimate trends - ✔️✔️Trend logs
What is NOT a design managers role? - ✔️✔️Coordinating owner design reviews and
approvals
Who is responsible for ensuring quality assurance? - ✔️✔️Design Build Team
Awarded to proposer with highest combined total points of technical and price proposals
- ✔️✔️Weighted criteria
Estimate provided with very little design - ✔️✔️Conceptual estimating
Owner proforma based on sq ft or ROM estimates - ✔️✔️Feasibility estimate
Determines if proposer is qualified for project with yes or no statement -
✔️✔️Statement of qualifications
