The FORE SIGHT Partners 5 Project Delivery Systems The FORE SIGHT Partners

The FORE SIGHT Partners 6 Design / Bid / Build Traditional Approach most used by Public Agencies Architect designs; Contractors bid; Contractor builds Construction Management at Risk The CM is selected on qualifications, but is still a General Contractor Owner participates in sub-contractor bid openings and qualifications Project Delivery Options The FORE SIGHT Partners

The FORE SIGHT Partners 7 Negotiated Contract Select contractor on qualifications, fee amount (profit), and jobsite costs (General Conditions) GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price) based on cost Design / Build Design-Builder is single agent/vendor Architect is sub-contractor to builder Project Delivery Options The FORE SIGHT Partners

The FORE SIGHT Partners 8 Approach A/E is selected by qualifications or qualifications/price A/E prepares design to 100% construction documents Open bidding to general contractors Award of contract to lowest responsible bidder Construction start after award of contract Variations Through PM/OR client can bid out “packages” or phases of the work to multiple general contractors Drawings can be bid at less than 100% completion to get project priced and site- work started Design/Bid/Build Approach The FORE SIGHT Partners

The FORE SIGHT Partners 9 ADVANTAGES Draws upon core skill sets of all parties involved Works well with repetitive similar projects Works well in public work “Best price” potential Owner has control over risk issues DISADVANTAGES Very limited control over subcontractors & suppliers Limited or no contractor price/schedule input during design Prone to change orders Owner has responsibility for most external risk issues Construction difficult to start before completion of 100% design Design/Bid/Build Approach The FORE SIGHT Partners

The FORE SIGHT Partners 10 Approach Construction Manager (“CM-at-Risk”) selected based upon Qualifications and Fee A/E prepares design in multiple “packages” of 100% CD’s for “Fast Tracking” of construction Owner, with the advice of the CM, conducts pre-qualified bidding to prime contractors or sub-contractors CM manages site general conditions and coordination Contracts may be held by the Owner, with CM receiving a fee for work Construction Management at Risk The FORE SIGHT Partners

The FORE SIGHT Partners 11 ADVANTAGES Teamwork enhanced Fast tracking allows fully developed design with a short schedule Transparency of cost thru open bidding Owner control over entire process Construction input during design Maximum flexibility to adjust project costs DISADVANTAGES A/E costs may be higher Coordination between trades and packages are more complicated Potential loss of General Contractor “buying power” Cost not final until all bids received Some responsibility over work scheduling & subcontractors rests with owner Construction Management at Risk The FORE SIGHT Partners

The FORE SIGHT Partners 12 Approach A/E selected by qualifications or qualifications/price General Contractor selected on qualifications, fee and job general conditions Contractor pricing evolves into a Cost of the Work with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Contract Construction can start prior to design completion with early packages Variations General contractor may be selected based upon performing an early project pricing (50% Design Development) as well as above criteria GMP can be followed with CM (“At Risk”) open bidding to subcontractors Final price can “float” up to GMP… Or “shared savings” up to GMP with owner…Or a firm fixed price can be negotiated Negotiated Contract The FORE SIGHT Partners

The FORE SIGHT Partners 13 ADVANTAGES Teamwork enhanced Construction Input during design Cost “guarantee” prior to design completion Construction can start before design is complete DISADVANTAGES Relationship of Owner and GC after GMP can conflict GC responsible for obtaining sub-contractor pricing Lots of GC “substitutions” Difficult to do in a pubic arena Changes after GMP are essentially change orders Negotiated Contract The FORE SIGHT Partners

The FORE SIGHT Partners 14 Approach One Design/Build contract with owner Planning/programming prepared by owner or consultant Owner issues RFP with scope and performance specifications Design/Builder selected by qualifications and price, and schedule Design/Builder completes the design and builds the project Variations Design may be advanced to approximately design development for bidding to Design/Builders (“Bridging”) Design/Builder may include financing and complete up front services (“Turnkey”) but limits available firms Design/Build package may be complete “build-to-suit” with a lease-back or lease-to-own May include full operations including staffing (“Design- Build-Operate”) Design-Build The FORE SIGHT Partners

The FORE SIGHT Partners 15 ADVANTAGES Single point of contact Works well with specific, uncomplicated projects Can move a project forward very quickly Early cost guarantee Can obtain best price for performance Changes tend to be easy but costly Construction can start after very preliminary design DISADVANTAGES Designer is contracted to builder Quality can be difficult to verify prior to completion Owner gives away control for single point of accountability Changes after pricing must be treated as change orders Difficult to handle complicated projects Quality tends toward minimum to meet requirements Fair price competition difficult to verify Design-Build The FORE SIGHT Partners
