DBIA TEST QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS
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)
Procurement Method
how team members are selected (QBS, best value, low price, sole source)
contracting approach
how team members are paid (fp, gmp, cost reimbursement, target price, unit price)
Design-Bid-Build (DBB)
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
construction manager at risk
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

Design-Build
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
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
Multiple Prime Contracting
owner contracts with multiple trade contractors, attributes are typically similar to dbb, owner's ability to
schedule and coordinate the work
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
public-private partnership (p3)
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

DBIA TEST QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERShttps://www.stuvia.com/user/filwe1099s
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
traditional design build
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
progressive 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
criteria documents
describe the end result
bridging documents
prescribes how to achieve the end result
design bid build paradigm
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
