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