2. Planning and Delivery Quality, speed, and cost form the management triangle of construction (and other design and delivery systems)
3. Planning and Delivery Project constraints affect choice of planning and delivery system
Business judgment, engineering judgment, and legal judgment are all involved in the management triangle, and decisions must be made with an understanding of risk, project goals, and constraints
4. Planning and Delivery Direct legal controls- registration, licensing, award process, standards, claims process
Indirect legal controls- loss of efficiency, contract and control ambiguity, cost of collection, risk management
5. Planning and Delivery Contract award
Public contracts- usually competitive bid process of some kind
Private contracts- market governed
Contract pricing
Fixed price (lump sum)
Risk is with the contractor
Contractual method for increasing price of contract
Allows owner to better plan financing IF the plans and specs are sufficiently complete & coordinated
6. Planning and Delivery Cost (Cost plus) contracts
Beneficial when design conditions are uncertain or incomplete
Can be a problem for financiers of the project
No incentive for designer or contractors to manage cost
Can put in a guaranteed maximum amount (G-Max or GMP) and a cost-savings split option
Jobs are usually open book
Value engineering- is a gray area because of intellectual property issues and bid-shopping
7. Planning and Delivery Unit price contracts
Used when material estimates are impossible or unreliable (soil excavation, remediation, asbestos)
Good for repetitive work easily categorized
How to handle general conditions needs to be addressed
Can be combined with other forms of contracting (for instance, LHI on development projects)
8. Planning and Delivery Allowances
Set a fixed amount for certain categories of work to be included in the contract but final choices have not been made (used frequently for equipment and finishes)
Variances are handled through change orders
Must spell out net vs., gross, and how shipping, OH, and other related costs are handled
9. Planning and Delivery Contingencies
Unallocated money set aside in a contract for uncertainties and other unforeseen (latent) conditions.
10. Planning and Delivery Traditional delivery
Design and construction are separated
Design-bid-build sequence
Wider range of design possibilities
(theoretically) better quality control
Contractor left out of the design process
Adversarial relationships develop
Cost designed-in early, hard to fix
11. Planning and Delivery
12. Planning and Delivery Early design decision fix cost parameters and constrain subsequent decisions
Construction Management- three party contracting
Design-Build- single party contracting
Fast-tracking (design-assist)
Multiple Primes
Turnkey contracting (land, financing, eq)
13. Planning and Delivery Partnering and teaming
Becoming more formalized
Set goals and expectations
Develop trust and commitment to the project
Build, operate, transfer
Build, operate, own
Privately financed infrastructure
More common in lesser developed countries with insufficient capital for water systems, sanitation
