Project Delivery System for Infrastructure Projects
Project Delivery System A framework within which projects are developed, acquired or implemented, and put into service A series of project phases from inception to completion
Project Delivery System (PDS) The six phases are: Planning Definition Implementation Commissioning Operation Evaluation
PROJECT DELIVERY SYSTEM Investment Analysis Report Planning phase Definition Phase Built works Project Brief Implementation Comm. Report Commissioning Operation Evaluation Report Facility in use Evaluation
Phase 1 Planning
Objectives Identify and define in detail the client investment opportunity, need or problem Assess all feasible alternatives Define organization and any required controls Establish the project budget and completion date Specify criteria for evaluating the project
2 . Client Opportunity/Need Identification Five Steps 1. Project Initiation 2 . Client Opportunity/Need Identification 3. Regulatory Considerations 4. Options Analysis 5. Owner/Investor Approval
Identify the optimum solution Main Out Put: IAR Investment Analysis Report (feasibility) To ascertain whether the concept for a project is technically and/or economically feasible for further study Identify the optimum solution
Phase 2 Definition

Phase 3 Implementation
PROJECT DELIVERY SYSTEM Investment Analysis Report Planning Definition Built works Project Brief Implementation Comm. Report Commissioning Operation Evaluation Report Facility in use Evaluation
1. Design 2. Tendering and award 3. Construction Implementation 1. Design 2. Tendering and award 3. Construction
Design Objective The objective is to design the project in detail, obtain necessary approvals, estimate costs and prepare drawings and specification.
Prepare: a concept design a detailed design drawings, specifications and schedules bills of quantities (if needed) final cost estimates time schedule
Design: 7 Steps Set up design team Define project control criteria Pre-design report Concept design Design development Project Approval Construction documents
Tendering Purpose To select a contractor, or a number of contractors who will unconditionally meet all of the terms and conditions set out in the tender documents at a competitive market price. Implementation
Contracting shall be conducted to: Contracting Policy Contracting shall be conducted to: Stand the test of public scrutiny in matters of prudence and probity, facilitate access, encourage competition, and reflect fairness in the spending of public funds. Ensure the pre-eminence of operational requirements.
Contracting Policy Honesty Fairness Best Value Three ingredients Public sector and private sector contract are fundamentally administered in the same way More later about bidding. Implementation - Design
Construction Purpose: To physically construct the project within the agreed limits of cost and time, and to specified quality within safe and healthy environment. Construction is the most expensive, intensive and difficult phase
Construction Time schedules Site organization Labour resources plan Activities To plan, coordinate and control site operations Planning includes the formulation of: Time schedules Site organization Labour resources plan Equipment plan Material delivery plan
Construction Activities Site operations include All temporary and permanent construction works, and supply of all built-in furniture and equipment The coordination of subcontractors General supervision/inspection
Main Activities During Construction 1. Start-up meeting 2. Management 3. Construction process 4. Post construction 5. Contract closure
Phase 4 Commissioning
PROJECT DELIVERY SYSTEM Investment Analysis Report Planning Definition Built works Project Brief Implementation Comm. Report Commissioning Operation Evaluation Report Facility in use Evaluation
Commissioning The process of advancing an installation from the state of static completion to full working order in accordance with the design intent.
Commission From two Perspectives Why Do You Commission? Commission From two Perspectives The Engineering Perspective The Contractual Perspective
Engineering Perspective Ensure the design intent has been met relative to the design specifications. Ensure the design intent will meet the operational requirements relative to: Program O&M Cost Safety
Contractual Perspective Ensure contractual responsibilities in terms of supply and installation versus design are not compromised or negated.
Phase 5 Operation
PROJECT DELIVERY SYSTEM Investment Analysis Report Planning Definition Built works Project Brief Implementation Comm. Report Commissioning Operation Evaluation Report Facility in use Evaluation
Objectives Establish and ensure reliable (operating systems) in the facility Establish, test and record the operating performance of the systems Maintain adequate operation and maintenance records Establish a preventative maintenance program Identify an operating and maintenance budget Respond to specific requests for services from the Client
Phase 6 Evaluation
PROJECT DELIVERY SYSTEM Investment Analysis Report Planning Definition Built works Project Brief Implementation Comm. Report Commissioning Operation Evaluation Report Facility in use Evaluation
Objectives Four main objectives: 1. To assess the project in specific terms, comparing planned and actual; 2. To compare the actual performance with the plans and the appropriate norms considered, in order to determine any variances;
Objectives 3. To clearly identify variances outside acceptable limits, so they can be reviewed for further action; and 4. To record the project performance for: Management review Sharing with other regions, and Contributing to PWGSC’s lessons learned database
3. Types of Evaluation 1. Project evaluation 2. Contractor evaluation 3. Consultant evaluation
What We Learned A good framework to deliver a Quality end product, on time and within budget to client satisfaction Procedural guide and reference for project team members and managers Basis for training Best practices are implemented Achieves good working environment Due diligence is exercised
