34 Project Delivery Methods When to Use Which Method? Pro s and Con s 9/20/

35 Delivery Methods - When to Use Competitive Bidding New projects that are not schedule sensitive nor subject to potential change and are non-negotiable Competitive Sealed Proposals New projects that are not schedule sensitive nor subject to potential change Construction Manager Agent Less complex projects that are not schedule sensitive, difficult to define, or subject to change (and only when the owner has adequate staff to manage the subcontractor contracts!) 9/20/

36 Delivery Methods - When to Use (cont.) Construction Manager-at-Risk New or renovation projects that are schedule sensitive, difficult to define, complex in nature or subject to change Design Build New projects that are easily definable and schedule sensitive Job Order Contracting Schedule sensitive, multi-trade, minor repair alteration or renovation projects 9/20/

38 Delivery Method Pros and Cons (cont.) Competitive Sealed Proposal Pros: Allows District to use best value criteria of which price is a component of the overall criteria GC qualifications may be used to determine best value District determines weight of the criteria to be used. Price typically high percentage of overall ranking Cost of construction is known prior to selecting GC Cons: A/E & GC may have more conflicts on interpretation of construction documents Slower delivery method start to finish than CMR Tendency for more change orders and schedule delays Price of GC s fee is not known. 9/20/

39 Delivery Method Pros and Cons Construction Manager-at-Risk Pros: Can accommodate a faster schedule A/E & CMR collaboration on design can help to optimize design for cost and speed of construction Cost estimates available throughout design process Sub solicitation more transparent to District Process allows more control over subcontractor selection Usually fewer change orders because construction documents more thorough CMR fee known Cons: CMR selection based more on qualifications rather than on fee which may be seen as more subjective Cost of construction not known at time of CMR s selection. 9/20/
