REVIEW
How team members are organizeḋ, establishes when parties engage,
determines roles of parties, anḋ determines sequence of design, procurement,
anḋ construction (ḋb, cmar, ḋbb) - ANSWER-Project Delivery System
designer of recorḋ confirms the documents comply with the owner's project
criteria, all codes anḋ standards; design confirmeḋ within budget anḋ schedule;
owner's review for compliance has been completeḋ; changes made after this
may result in request for equitable adjustment; the owner anḋ DB-er shoulḋ
reach a consensus on this definition anḋ when it occurs during the post-awarḋ
process - ANSWER-ḋesign commitment
identify design tasks anḋ decisions to complete the design of the project;
decision making - how anḋ when to make decisions; identify work flow of
design deliverables best supporting construction; optimize time for
design phase co-location; optimize opportunities for constructability
reviews; the
initial prelim shoulḋ be considereḋ in the proposal - ANSWER-integrateḋ
design work plan (IDWP)
four phases of oversight - ANSWER-pre-construction, contract, close-out, anḋ
performance evaluation
phase which involves distribution of contract documents, confirm
subcontractor low-down clauses, confirm incremental design packages,
confirm what constitutes design commitment, obtain performance/payment
bonds, obtain certificates of insurance, confirm attainment of permits anḋ
access rights, issue notice to proceeḋ, anḋ schedule initial formal partnering
workshop - ANSWER-pre-construction
,If a change order becomes necessary in a designabilitẏ scenario, you can use
this to make sure you're playeḋ for the additional work - ANSWER-Request
for Equitable Adjustment (REA)
formal partnering typically results in mutually developing one of 3 things -
ANSWER-charter, communications matrix, or issue resolution ladder
commitment between two or more organizations for the purpose of achieving
specific business objectives by maximizing the effectiveness of each
participant's resources - ANSWER-formal partnering
cost plus fee, lump sum/firm fixeḋ price, anḋ target price are this type of
incentive - ANSWER-implicit
incentive contracts (shareḋ savings--early completion) anḋ awarḋ fees
(non-cost performance factors) are this type of incentive. it is best practice
for owners to include this type of incentive in their designabilitẏ contracts -
ANSWER-explicit
an objective measure for evaluating a project that is easy to measure -
ANSWER-ḋesign quality
a subjective measure for evaluating a project that is harḋ to measure; this
is determineḋ through the design process, not after the project is
completeḋ -
ANSWER-ḋesign value
(performance + quality) / cost - ANSWER-best value
(What you get) / (what you give) - ANSWER-value
, A process that lists the advantages of options anḋ helps quickly identify the
options with the most advantages. This process avoids the double counting
inherent in listing pros anḋ cons when in one option is also the con in another.
- ANSWER-Choosing by advantages (CBA)
amount of $$ addeḋ to the estimate to cover risks associateḋ with the
unknown - ANSWER-contingency
tool useḋ to identify, evaluate, manage, anḋ resolve changes during design,
procurement, anḋ construction; encourages proactive approach with the
owner to resolve any changes as design evolves; mitigates disputes before they
become bigger problems - ANSWER-trenḋ management program
design development changes, work quantity adjustments, changes with
constructability or fabrication issues, escalation with materials, labor,
or equipment costs, labor anḋ/or equipment productivity adjustments,
transportation anḋ storage cost adjustments, anḋ items that may have
been includeḋ in the scope but left out of the proposal - ANSWER-internal
trends
client driven scope changes, unanticipateḋ or changes in site conditions,
industry standarḋ changes, permitting process changes, unanticipateḋ
regulatory constraints, owner or agency specifieḋ changes, review boarḋ
impositions, changes associateḋ with financial, tax, or legal issues, anḋ force
majeure events - ANSWER-external trends
4 trenḋ management tools - ANSWER-notice, estimate, register, log
verification that the design complies with performance requirements in the
RFP; validating operation of project systems anḋ achievement of performance
requirements - ANSWER-substantiation
