DBIA Actual Test Questions And Answers With Complete Solution 2024
1. 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)
2. Procurement Method: how team members are selected (QBS, best value, low
price, sole source)
3. contracting approach: how team members are paid (fp, gmp, cost reimburse-
ment, target price, unit price)
4. Design-Bid-Build (DBB): linear, sequential process, A/E selected on qualifi-
cations, 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
5. construction manager at risk: similar org structure to DBB, construction man-
ager 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

both design and construction services, designer and contractor have a direct con-
tractual 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
7. 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
8. Multiple Prime Contracting: owner contracts with multiple trade contractors,
attributes are typically similar to dbb, owner's ability to schedule and coordinate the
work
9. 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
10. public-private partnership (p3): Instead of government building and main-
taining major infrastructure (such as highway, water treatment plant), build and
maintenance is outsourced to a private company. Opposed by public sector unions.
