Design-Build • Authorization • Project Selection • Criteria • Recent Changes
Authorization • Design Build (D-B) Contracting Authorization – • FLORIDA STATUTES • D-B Major Projects Authorization – 337.11(7) F.S. • Buildings • Major Bridge • Limited Access Facilities • Rail Corridor • Estimated cost exceeds $10M
Authorization • Design Build (D-B) Contracting Authorization • FLORIDA STATUTES • Minor D-B Projects Authorization –337.025 F.S. • Innovative Contracting Statute – Annual Cap of $120M • Minor Bridge • Resurfacing (no widening/shoulder work) • Projects not covered by 337.11(7) F.S. • Estimated Cost less than $10M
Project Selection • Design Build (D-B) contracting should be considered on the following types of projects: • Demand an expedited schedule and can be completed earlier • Require minimal Right of Way acquisition and utility relocation • Well defined scope • Allow for innovation in the design and/or construction effort • Low risk of unforeseen conditions • Low possibility of significant changes
Project Selection • Examples of projects which may be good D-B contracting candidates: • Major Bridges • Minor Bridges • ITS (computer signalized traffic) • Intersection improvement (with known utilities) • Buildings-office building, rest areas, welcome stations, etc.
Project Selection • Examples of projects which may be good D-B contracting candidates (continued): • Interstate widening • Rural Widening • Fencing • Landscaping • Lighting • Signing • Signalization • Guardrail
Project Selection • Examples of projects which may not be good • D-B contracting candidates are: • Major bridge rehab/repair with significant unknowns • Rehab of movable bridges • Urban construction/reconstruction with major utilities, major subsoil, R/W or other major unknowns
Developing Design-Build Criteria • Adjusted Score or Low Bid? • Adjusted Score • Want (or need) to have input by evaluating the D-B firm and Technical Proposal (prior to bid time) • Innovation or potential alternatives exist • Scope is more versatile
Developing Design-Build Criteria • Low Bid • Straight forward projects • (guardrail, noise walls, milling and resurfacing, etc.) • Scope is well defined
Developing Design-Build Criteria • All aspects of the project for which there is a Department preference must be set. • Do we want it? • Do we not want it? • Includes multiple disciplines: Structures, Drainage, Traffic Operations, Permitting, Utilities, Roadway, Striping, Pavement Design, Estimates, FHWA, etc.
Developing Design-Build Criteria • Information typically gathered before the • advertisement: (Department Concept) • Typical Section • Survey • Geotechnical • Utilities • Pavement Design
Writing the Criteria • Department and Consultant Authors • Expectations should be clear • Be specific where appropriate • Don’t ask for things we don’t want/need
Pre-qualification Requirements • Unless specifically stated otherwise in the Advertisement, standard pre-qualification requirements apply for the designer and contractor
Request for Proposals • Much of the language is standard from SCO website • Grading Criteria • Decide what is important • Innovation • Maintenance of Traffic • Aesthetics • Environmental • Schedule • Assign Points Accordingly
Advertisement • List only the pre-qualifications necessary for the major items of work. • List consultant work groups that are required. • List the criteria that will be used for evaluating the letters of interest. • FDOT Ads can be found at the following link: http://www2.dot.state.fl.us/procurement/ads/advdbld.htm
Letters of Interest • Design/Build Experience • Joint Project Experience • Similar Project Experience • Past Performance (both team members) • Key Personnel and their experience • Any applicable commitments (DBE, Time, Warranties, etc.)
Issue Escalation & Resolution • RFP sets a hierarchy for design issues and construction issues to be resolved through a defined chain of command • D-B Firm will be required to set a similar escalation process for both design and construction
Issue Escalation & Resolution Design Project Manager Construction Project Mgr District Design Engineer District Const. Engineer Director of Development Director of Operations District Secretary District Secretary
STIPENDS Only on ASDB Projects
Stipends • The Department intends to compensate the unsuccessful short-listed Firms for submitting a proposal • The unsuccessful short-listed Firms may receive compensation (lump sum) for their efforts in preparing a proposal if the proposal is determined to be responsive • The intent to compensate and the amount of compensation will be noted in the RFP • This decision will be at the discretion of the contracting District or Central Office.
Stipends • Federal funds MAY be used. • A Stipend is not intended to compensate the Firms for the total cost of preparing the proposal package. • In return, the Department reserves the right to use any of the concepts or ideas within the technical proposals, as the Department deems appropriate.
Examples: A $4M rehabilitation project would have a recommended stipend of $4,000,000 (0.0050) = $ 20,000. A $30M complex urban project would have a recommended stipend of $30,000,000 (0.0020) = $ 60,000. A $175M new bridge project would have a recommended stipend of $175,000,000 (0.0010) = $175,000. Stipends GUIDELINES FOR ESTIMATING STIPEND AMOUNTS FOR DESIGN BUILD PROJECTS
Alternative Technical Concepts • ATC Process allows: • Innovation • Flexibility • Time/Cost Savings • Best Value for public
Alternative Technical Concepts • Used at District discretion on adjusted score D-B projects when probability of innovation or alternatives exist • ATC Meetings must comply with Sunshine Law
Alternative Technical Concepts • ATC Meetings: • 2 (Max) per D-B Firm • Meeting schedule accounted for as part of Project Schedule identified in the RFP • Occur prior to RFP established due date for ATC formalized submittal
Alternative Technical Concepts ATC Submittal must include: • Description (concept drawings, product details, traffic operational analysis, as appropriate) • Usage (where/how will it be used on project) • Deviations from RFP • Explanation of Deviation • Request for Approval
Alternative Technical Concepts ATC Submittal must include: • Analysis justifying deviations from RFP if applicable • Impacts (during and after construction) • Vehicular • Environmental • Community • Safety • Lifecycle • Maintenance/operation
Alternative Technical Concepts ATC Submittal must include: • Risks (added for Dept. or 3rd Party) • Quality – how is the ATC equal or better in quality or performance • Anticipated Life enhanced or compromised by ATC
Alternative Technical Concepts • Department reviews the ATC and advises: • Concept is acceptable • Concept is unacceptable • Concept requires additional information Department responds within 2 weeks of ATC meeting or submittal of formal ATC. Correspondence maintained in project file
Alternative Technical Concepts • If an approved ATC deviates from RFP, the department will: • Update RFP Criteria • Issue Addendum • Approved Design Exceptions/Design Variances require an update to the RFP • FHWA must approve such changes
Alternative Technical Concepts • Department reserves right to disclose to all D-B firms any issues identified in ATC meetings or ATC submittals except those determined to reveal confidential or proprietary information
Alternative Technical Concepts • Incorporation of ATC into Proposal: • D-B firm can opt to include approved ATC’s as part of proposal • Bid should reflect any approved/incorporated ATC’s • If not selected, D-B agrees to disclose work products associated w/ATC after receipt of Stipend or Contract Award, whichever occurs first
Professional Liability Insurance • Per D-B Specifications • D-B Contract AmountMinimum Coverage • Up to $30M $1,000,000 • $30M - $75M $2,000,000 • > $ 75M $5,000,000
Conflict of Interest Policy • Any Consultant or its affiliate developing the Request for Proposals for a project will not be eligible to compete for that project.
Conflict of Interest Policy • DESIGN BUILD • The contractor or design professional cannot team, as a Prime, with other firms to submit more than one bid per project. • The secondary member (i.e. designer or contractor) of the design-build team cannot change, after award, without the written approval of the District Secretary.
Conflict of Interest Policy • DESIGN BUILD (continued) • A consultant firm, its affiliate, or sub-consultant, that is under contract with the Department to provide Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services on the Design-Build contract cannot be part of a Design-Build Team proposing on that contract as a prime or sub-consultant.
