  1. Design-Build Specifying at LANLMay, 2003 Tobin Oruch, Eng Standards Manager 505-665-8475, oruch@lanl.gov Facility and Waste Operations Division (FWO) Systems, Engineering and Maintenance Group LA-UR-03-3238

  2. LANL History with Design Build • First true D-B – FITS, 1998 • 3 Line Items (Supercomp. Ctr, NISC, EOC) • 6 GPP Office Buildings (many more ongoing) • Now using D-B for a process system • a Rad Liquid Waste pumping/storage building

  3. Experience/Lessons Learned • With us, Contract Awards are rarely to the same AE/Contractor team twice, so • Good “performance” specs are necessary since • there’s not always knowledge of LANL Engineering Standards (some out-of-state AEs) • there’s not a good job = future work incentive

  4. D-B Request for Proposals -- Specifying • Two main methods have been used at LANL: • Line Items: Trimmed down ESM (std design criteria) plus Details, Construction Specs, and Drafting Manual • GPPs: Proj Mgmt Div produced hybrid “Performance Specs” for this purpose • Attempts to combine Des Criteria and Specs • Master Constr Specs with design requirements and substantiation verbage added • AE then takes this back out • Labor intensive for LANL and AE • Trying to eliminate this second method in favor of the first • If AEs being used settle down, could just give them all Site Standards on CD to lock them in
