Construction Procurement Overview • Contract Features • Unique Aspects of the Contract • Contract Administration Challenges • Initiatives
Contract Features • Construction Management / General Contractor (CM/GC) services performed by Turner Construction • SLAC assumes most construction cost risk • CM/GC assumes schedule risk via liquidated damages • Two Phases • Phase 1- Preconstruction services, cost ~ $600k, constructability reviews, cost estimates, solicitation packages, etc. • Phase 2 - Turner Construction “holds paper” and provides: • Construction management services for ~ 28 months, cost ~ $12 million (Fixed Price) • Awards/administers construction subcontracts (~ $65-70 million) • Manages and co-ordinates construction activities
Unique Aspects • Phase 2 is a unilateral option of SLAC • Providing direction to and surveillance over a CM/GC • Sub-subcontract costs pass through to SLAC • CM/GC is responsible for co-ordination efforts • Contractor controlled insurance program • Incentive Provisions—Safety, Schedule, Cost Control • Tunneling operations (25-30% of all construction)
Contract Administration Challenges • Developing “partnering” mentality with the CM/GC • Safety • Coordinating with SLAC (security, ES&H, etc.) • Schedule development • Risk Management • Establishing responsive business controls • Limited contingency management delegated to CM/GC • Blanket funding • Monthly reviews • Change order management • Technical field order authority up to $25,000 • Flow charts • Web based configuration control • Sub-subcontracts / Bidder selection • Review and approve bid packages • Review and approve award recommendation
Initiatives • Consultant support and reviewer feedback • DOE experienced construction project procurement professionals • Estimator specialists and/or temporary personnel to augment staff • Take review group/committee comments seriously • Work more closely with Project staff to understand milestones, develop strategies, advance planning, and avoid problems • Partnering Sessions • Training • Managing contracts • Controlling change order costs
Summary • Establishing dedicated procurement office, setting up effective business controls, and supporting project goals are challenging on a $75+ million construction management services contract • Initiatives and external advice should help achieve our goal to: effectively support the LCLS project with timely, cost effective acquisition support using best business practices
