4. Team Mission Statement To produce a process to assist in selecting a contract delivery strategy to optimize owner's project objectives.

5. PDCS Within industry, no existing set of delivery systems applicable to a wide range of project types. CII commissioned the PDCS Research Team to: -Identify a larger set of project delivery systems and contract strategies. -Develop a decision process and tool.

6. PDCS The research team developed a procedure and tool to assist in selection of Project Delivery and Contract Strategy.

7. PDCS Procedure Focuses on owner’s project objectives. Focuses on project execution environment. Incorporates quantitative assessment of PDCS alternatives in decision support tool.

8. Research Research conducted with: CII members, non-members Owners and contractors Public agencies Industrial and general building sectors Research conducted with: CII members, non-members Owners and contractors Public agencies Industrial and general building sectors

9. PDCS Definition Defines roles and responsibilities of parties in a project. Defines how owner pays for services. Establishes framework for organization of project execution.

10. PDCS – Typical Representation Bid Traditional Design-Bid-Build delivery system, PDCS 01 Phase Sequence: Serial sequence of design and construction (Procurement begins with construction) Design Procure Construct Project Team Relationships Primary Contractual/Functional Relationships Owner DesignerConstructor Compensation Approaches Designer:Firm Price Constructor:Competitive Lump Sum

11. PDCS – Purpose Develop a tool that will assist owners in selecting a project delivery method and contract strategy for their projects, based on their project objectives.

12. Objectives Develop PDCS alternatives and selection factors for industry-wide application. Develop procedure and analysis tool to aid PDCS selection. Develop procedure to facilitate owner’s objectives. Develop PDCS alternatives and selection factors for industry-wide application. Develop procedure and analysis tool to aid PDCS selection. Develop procedure to facilitate owner’s objectives.

13. Characteristics Identify and define: Set of common PDCS alternatives currently used in industry Set of factors considered in selection process Approach for assessing factors leading to appropriate PDCS Identify and define: Set of common PDCS alternatives currently used in industry Set of factors considered in selection process Approach for assessing factors leading to appropriate PDCS

14. Data Collection and Validation Phase I – Questionnaire data from 90 projects: Defined PDCS alternatives and selection factors that are used in practice. Evaluated decision analysis approaches. Phase I – Questionnaire data from 90 projects: Defined PDCS alternatives and selection factors that are used in practice. Evaluated decision analysis approaches.

15. Data Collection and Validation Phase II – Workshops involving 32 owner and contractor project managers: Developed relative effectiveness scores that are intrinsic to spreadsheet analysis. Phase II – Workshops involving 32 owner and contractor project managers: Developed relative effectiveness scores that are intrinsic to spreadsheet analysis.

16. Data Collection and Validation Phase III – Validation of the Tool: Identified 20 selection factors and 12 PDCS alternatives. Tested and validated on 12 projects from research team member companies. Owners are using the tool to support PDCS decisions on new projects.

18. PDCS Decision Support Tool Review project objectives. Identify selection factors (related to owner’s project objectives). Assign preference rank and preference weights to selected factors to reflect priority. Review project objectives. Identify selection factors (related to owner’s project objectives).
