INSTRUCTOR: Douglas D. Gransberg, Ph.D., P.E., M.ASCE
Purpose and Background
Public owners have found that increasing the level of integration and collaboration in their capital improvement projects yields tangible benefits in terms of increasing cost and schedule certainty and decreasing claims and contractor-initiated change orders. In this context, the term “integration” means a project delivery method where the construction contractor is required to make substantive input to the project’s design to enhance the level of constructability, control cost and time growth, and provide a reality check as the design progresses to completion. Projects delivered using design-build (DB), construction manager-at-risk (CMR), construction manager/general contractor (CMGC), and public private partnerships (P3) fit this definition. Additionally, some agencies have allowed a limited form of integration by including alternative technical concepts (ATC) in DBB, DB, CMR, CMGC or P3 projects. This seminar will provide the facts about alternative project delivery methods to replace the myths that have emerged in the industry based on ill-informed perceptions. Its purpose is to furnish a fundamental level of understanding about integrated delivery methods in four major areas: procurement models/contract structure; project pricing provision models; developing responsive submittals to requests for qualifications (RFQ) and/or requests for proposals (RFP); and post-award contract administration.
Benefits and Learning Objectives
This seminar will provide the facts about alternative project delivery methods to replace the myths that have emerged in the industry based on ill-informed perceptions. Its purpose is to furnish a fundamental level of understanding about both delivery methods in four major areas:
- Procurement models/contract structure,
- Project pricing provision models,
- Developing responsive submittals to requests for qualifications (RFQ) and/or requests for proposals (RFP), and
- Post-award contract administration
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Apply alternative project delivery to your construction program
- Encourage innovative solutions to your projects by leveraging contractor involvement in the design process
- Match the characteristics of each project with the most appropriate project delivery method
- Avoid liability for costly design errors by effectively transferring design liability
- Apply tried and true tools to your organization’s procurement toolbox
- Apply knowledge of effective procurement practices for each alternative project delivery method
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Students' achievement of the learning outcomes will be assessed through case study analysis exercises and class discussions following the presentation of each major topic. A short post-assessment (true-false, multiple choice and fill in the blank questions) will also be administered.
Who Should Attend
Design and construction project engineers, procurement personnel, as well as design consultants and construction contractors
