- commonly used to build infrastructure
public private partnerships
ex: highways bridges, schools, hospitals
what project delivery systems is riskiest to design bid build
owner
which type of contract does the lump sum
contractor take on the most risk of cost
overruns?
which type of contract does the owner cost plus fee
take on the most risk of cost overruns?
Which of the following team members is subconsultant
hired by a designer?
What is occurring during the schematic Designer investigates differing design alternatives for each system
design/schematic investigation phase of
design?
project delivery system riskiest to design build
contractor
-contractor provides a single price to perform the work based on plans and specs
lump sump contract -best used when scope is clear
-commonly used with design bid build
-contractor provides price for units of work
unit price contracts -best used when total work quantity is unknown
-commonly used on heavy civil projects for soil or rock work
-owner pays for the cost of the work
cost plus fee -best used when scope is not clearly defined
-commonly used for residential, emergency projects, fast paced projects
-maximum price ceiling is agreed upon which must not be exceeded
-if exceeded contracted party is responsible
cost plus fee with GMP
-commonly used for design and design build
-if final cost below gmp savings go to owner
A meeting agenda outlines the objectives true
of a meeting and is created before a
meeting
Meeting minutes are the record outcomes true
of a meeting and created during meeting
It is a best practice to create a project true
document control system before work
begins
An organizational system which allows a project manager to identify, track, and
Document Control
deliver all required documents in time to keep construction processes on time.
A Notice to Proceed cannot be sent false
until a final contract has been signed
by both parties.
A process in which one party sends documents to another party for their approval
Submittal for use in a project
-typically sub or gc asking for approval of designer/owner
A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Which Best Management Practices will be used on site
should include:
site logistics plan Where temporary installations will be placed on site
Purchase orders -Document sent from buyers to sellers with a request to order products
