2 AN OVERVIEW OF DESIGN-BUILD Presented by: David Umstot, PE, CEM Umstot Project and Facilities Solutions, LLC (O) May 2, 2014 Design-Build Not a New Concept In California: Multiple statutes govern design-build procurement for public agencies For Community Colleges: Education Code Sections govern process 2 1

3 Where Is Design-Build Authorized for Public Entities? Source: DBIA 3 Why Do Owners Select Design-Build? Allows selection based on price and other factors (Best Value Selection) Fosters greater collaboration between the design team, specialty trade contractors and builder Enables involvement early-on with specialty trade contractors Single source of responsibility Better BIM Coordination Reduced change order experience Improved schedule performance (faster to construction) Perceived reduction of risk 4 2

5 Design-Build Definitions To Understand Best Value Selection Bridging Documents Performance Specification Prescriptive Specifications Qualifications-Based Selection Technical Proposal 1-Step vs. 2-Step Selection 7 Best Value Selection The Owner selects the design-builder on the basis of overall best value This includes price and other non-price factors Other factors may include technical expertise, past experience, proposed design, enhanced value relative to other proposals, life cycle cost considerations Typically the Request for Proposal clearly defines how the scoring will be evaluated and on what basis the award will be made 8 4

6 Bridging Documents The Owner provides a set of design documents prepared by a design team (excluded from the design-build competition) to be used as the basis for project definition Why do Owners do this? Because they feel that it gives them more control over the process. Generally, this is common among Owners just starting to use designbuild. What is my opinion? It makes the project a detail-build rather than design-build. Opportunities are lost to create value from builder and specialty trade input into the conceptual and schematic design where most of the costs are set with systems selection. 9 Performance vs. Prescriptive Specifications Performance Specifications define what the desired intent and performance of the requirements are (e.g., heat and cool the building to beat Title 24 by 25%). Prescriptive Specifications contain very specific requirements that the design-builder is expected to provide as part of the contract (e.g., provide 50-ton York chiller). Owner knows exactly what they will get. Allows for greater flexibility in system selection and potential greater value to owner. Leverages creativity of team Design-builder owns risk of performance Owner owns risk of performance based on specification selection Performance-Based x x x Prescriptive x x 10 5

7 Qualifications-Based Selection This means that the selection of the design-builder will be based on a review of qualifications, not price. Typical qualifications evaluation criteria include past experience on similar type and size projects, past performance on projects, experience of proposed team personnel, financial capacity 11 Technical Proposal The Technical Proposal captures on the elements required by a request for proposal other than price. Typical areas covered in the technical proposal include Past Firm, Team and Project Experience Proposed Team and Resumes Proposed Design Approach or Design Life Cycle Cost Analysis Considerations Management Plan Schedule Elements Safety Approach or Plan Quality Assurance Project Plan 12 6

8 Single Versus 2-Step Selection Process In a 1-step selection process, the design-builder is selected on the basis of the proposal submitted. In a 2-step process, firms are requested to submit qualification packages for review and a short list of qualified firms is developed to actually propose with a more fully developed design and price. This is often done as a design competition with price considerations a best value selection. 13 The Big 3 Design-Build Complaints from the Design Community 1. The Cost of Pursuit Beware the RFP that requires a hard price as part of the proposal. This necessitates significant design investment that places a disproportionate share of financial burden on the design firms. 2. Diminished Design Excellence Many architects have a sense that design excellence is potentially diminished when their contractual relationship is with the builder not the owner. 3. Qualifications-Based Selection Fully evaluate the selection criteria before moving forward. Some selections are made on the basis of personality and not qualifications. Understand how your customer views this and structures their selection process. 14 7

12 Design/Build Overview As of January 1, 2008, Community Colleges can use design build under SB614. Must be at least $2.5M in value Requires project specific Board resolution Need to evaluate the project based on five minimum criteria. Price (10%) Technical Experience (10%) Life cycle cost over 15 years (10%) Skilled Labor Force (10%) Safety Record (10%) SDCCD Design/Build Selection Criteria Price accounts for 20% (200 points) of total ranking. Non Price Factors will account for 80% (800 points) of the total ranking: Technical Expertise (20% 200 points) Design Excellence (20% 200 points) Life Cycle Costs (10% 100 points) Safety Record (10% 100 points) Skilled Labor Force Availability (10% 100 points) Subcontracting Outreach Plan (10% 100 points) 11

13 Target Costing Project Budget Development Space Programming Efficiency Targeted Cost Per Sq. Ft. 23 How to Discourage Pricing Gaming Target costing (e.g., design to budget and create value) Pricing elements to include design fees, preconstruction services, general conditions staffing costs, general requirements and OH&P on target project construction cost 12

14 Design/Build Proposal Ranking Methodology The ranking of Design/Build price proposals will be based on point totals. The highest point totals will be ranked most advantageous and the lowest point totals will be ranked the least advantageous in the following manner: Design Fees (including Preconstruction Services) + General Conditions Cost + (OH&P% x $43,000,000) = Proposer s Price 200 points = 1σ 190 points = 1σ 5σ 280 points = +/.5σ 170 points = 0.5 1σ 160 points = >+1σ MacLeamy Curve Integrated Early Design 13

This course addresses the use of design-build as a project delivery method, focusing on essential concepts and characteristics, as well as critical elements of the RFQ/RFP process and overall project management. 3. Design-Build Contracts and Risk Management. This course focuses on applying effective contracting language as well as insurance, bonding and surety products and strategies to successful design-build project delivery. 4. Post-Award Design-Build. This course addresses the use of design-build as a project delivery method, focusing on essential concepts and characteristics, as well as critical elements of the RFQ/RFP process and overall project management

26 DBIA Resources for Owners 1. The DBIA Owner Hotline allows public agencies and private owners quick and direct access to information on design-build project delivery. 2. Owner scholarships are available for all DBIA conferences and may cover complimentary registration as well as offset all or a portion of an individual s travel costs. 3. Owner Boot Camp 4. Owners Council: The Western Pacific Region has developed an Owners Council to provide owners with the opportunity to meet with each other to share lessons learned and best practices in design-build. The Owners' Council is open to owners of private and/or public construction projects - vertical or horizontal. The Council gives owners a chance to network with their peers without pressure from industry practitioners. Tips for Success from a Former Owner Clearly define what you want as part of your RFP process. Place the risk with the party best prepared to manage it. Be prepared to Collaborate! Really collaborate!!! Owner engagement is critical to project success. Integrate your internal customers into the design process. Make design decisions at the appropriate time. Integrate specialty trade contractors early in the process. Leverage BIM
