  3. Today’s Agenda • Define Goals of the Study • Define “Best Value” • Methods of Contracting • Areas of Study • Assign Tasks & Responsibilities • Set Meetings & Milestones Schedule • Presentation by Dr. Dean Kashiwagi HJR #28 - Studying "Best Value" Construction Contracting

  4. Study Goals • Define “Best Value” Contracting • Establish criteria for objective selection process • Determine qualifications for selection panels to award contracts • Establish a process for most cost-effective projects possible • Present data and conclusions to the 59th Legislature w/ recommendations HJR #28 - Studying "Best Value" Construction Contracting

  5. Current Method of Procurement (1) • State: Design / Bid / Build • A/E selected on qualification basis • Construction to low responsive, responsible bidder FOR MORE INFO... Title 18 – Chapters 1, 2, & 8 MCA HJR #28 - Studying "Best Value" Construction Contracting

  6. Current Method of Procurement (2) • Local Govts: Design / Bid / Build • A/E selected on qualification basis • Construction to low responsive, responsible bidder • Are Design/Build and CM @ Risk being used? FOR MORE INFO... 7-1-4127; 7-5-4302; Title 18 – Chapters 1, 2, & 8; 20-9-204 MCA HJR #28 - Studying "Best Value" Construction Contracting

  7. Current Method of Procurement (3) • MT Supreme Court Decisions: • Statutes are for the public interest not bidders • Lowest monetary bidder does not mean lowest responsible bidder • Responsible bidder must be “qualified” • Public entity discretion is somewhat broad • Unsuccessful bidder lacks standing to challenge award absent bad faith FOR MORE INFO... 2001 MT 124 Debcon v. City of Glasgow; 218 MT (1985) Baker v. State; 41 MT (1910) O’Brien v. Drinkenberg; 111 MT (1941) Koich v. Cvar; 163 MT (1973) Sletten v.

  12. What is “Best Value?” (1 of 3) • For Public Owners: • Scope, Time, Budget vary by project to determine best value • Best process for construction now & long term • Can be price, shortest delivery, quality of construction, qualified contractor, quality sub-contractors • Least likely to end in litigation HJR #28 - Studying "Best Value" Construction Contracting

  13. What is “Best Value?” (2 of 3) • For A/E Professionals: • Team approach to project (difficult in low bid process) • Contractor on-board early in design adds benefit to the design • Reduced liability through other than low bid • Reduce administrative time through qualified contractor and teamwork approach • Maintain design integrity/intent HJR #28 - Studying "Best Value" Construction Contracting

  14. What is “Best Value?” (3 of 3) • For Contractors & Sub-Contractors: • Early involvement in design has benefits • Increased teamwork, avoid adversarial relationships • Time is a large factor (less the better) • Winning award of the project HJR #28 - Studying "Best Value" Construction Contracting

  15. What is a “fair, equitable, and objective selection process?” (1 of 3) • For Public Owners: • Clear scope and criteria are vital • Process open to everyone • Lack of political pressure • Detailed criteria for selection and/or scoring • Evaluations/scoring are public meetings • Pre-screening process for minimum criteria to submit an RFP (i.e. RFQ, 2-step process) • Drawing a line of “responsible” for those below it aren’t considered HJR #28 - Studying "Best Value" Construction Contracting

  16. What is a “fair, equitable, and objective selection process?” (2 of 3) • For A/E Professionals: • Selected prior to contractor is preferable (negates some D/B relationships) • Help the client select the best contractor • Political decisions unfair to qualified firms HJR #28 - Studying "Best Value" Construction Contracting
