Rated A+
How team members are organized, establishes when parties engage,
determines roles of parties, and determines sequence of design,
procurement, and construction (db, cmar, dbb) -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, gmp, 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 (DBB)
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 -ANSWER-construction manager at risk
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 -ANSWER-Design-Build
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 (epc)
Owner contracts with multiple trade contractors, attributes are typically
similar to dbb, owner's ability to schedule and coordinate the work -
ANSWER-Multiple Prime Contracting
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
(IPD)
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 (p3)
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 -ANSWER-shift left
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 -ANSWER-traditional design build
Design and price 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
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
specifications 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
Subdivides project by functional elements, focuses on systems and
assemblies, useful for preliminary information and early design
phases, aligns with BIM models and conceptual estimating -
ANSWER-uniformat
Subdivides work by results/trades, focuses on building materials,
products, and activities, useful for detailed information during final
design and construction phases, and aligns with detailed estimating -
ANSWER-masterformat
A specific business need or behavior as seen by an external user of
the system; describe what functions/operations the end product must
perform/accommodate; examples: regulatory, permitting, economic,
and others that define functions and operational capability. "Build an
office building on my existing lot to provide office space for 1,000
workers" -ANSWER-functional requirement
Describes what product(s) components must do/achieve with a
measurement metric; challenges: developing objective and definable
standards to validate performance, tendency to drift to prescriptive
specs; examples: uniformat C10, interior construction. "Provide
durable, paintable interior walls between the offices with STC 35
(min)" -ANSWER-performance requirement
Describes in terms of exactly how the product and/or its components
must be built; cookbook approach; developed by the design builder
but used by owners in the RFP/bridging documents for operability or
maintenance needs and conditions of permits or third parties;
