Improved Coordination • MPT – 95% designed • CHP – design in progress • FDF – design completed • Coordination • Utilities • Cranes • Geotechnical Information • Weekly meetings – Internal and Intra-Contractor • CFA meetings • Partnering – MPT/CHP • Coordination of design/construction and Intra-Contractor
Potential Innovation • Limited in proposals • “Prescriptive” • 30 Alternatives – developed a “No Fly Zone” • Construction – MPT • Schedule offer 5 months less than anticipated in RFP • CHP Negotiation • Better steam control with condenser • Arrangement of equipment • Innovation accepted if not already vetted by Owner
CHP Not Part of DC Water Expertise • CHP – different review philosophy • Owner – smaller review group, interested in interfaces, and “were not going to operate it” • DBO – “We have to operate it, so we want to make changes • PM/CM – find the balance to get full contract value and understanding • DC Water recognizing benefit of when DB is appropriate
Lessons Learned To Date • Owner likes to be able to short list 3 qualified proposers • First time Design Build • Ownerand Engineers need to take time to understand process • Design issues come to head early • Design Build Joint Venture = skin in the game • 3D modeling understanding accelerates • Regulatory dust should be settled • Start-up and Commissioning – start early • “Haz Ops” meeting very important • Prescriptiveness can serve “mature” Owners well • Performance guarantees force designer and contractor to work together and could be a key to being less prescriptive

Vision Anacostia River Projects Potomac & Rock Creek Projects DC Water is Implementing Tunnels There is a brief window of time to consider new approaches Most severely impacted by CSOs GI will provide additional CSO control Green Gray Hybrid
Why is a Multi Million Dollar Demonstration Project Necessary? • Need it to be a large scale demonstration – address entire subsewersheds • Representative sites - not “cherry picked” so scale-up is realistic • Sound technical basis • Potential for innovative solutions and creative alliances • Targeted performance is high degree of CSO control • Resolution of institutional issues • Analysis of other factors • Triple bottom line benefits • Public acceptability • Testing over several meteorological / climate cycles • O&M impacts The magnitude of investment by DC ratepayers to control Potomac and Rock Creek CSOs requires a sound technical and institutional basis for making decisions
Demonstration Project (6 sites) • Completed evaluation of sites for GI demonstration projects in Potomac River and Rock Creek sewer sheds. • After construction, monitor for 2 years • Use results to design Potomac River and Rock Creek projects using combination of tunnels and GI
Lessons Learned • Verify Financial Capabilities • Evaluate need to compare proposers’ financial capabilities with respect to estimated cash flow needs • Process Projects • Designer needs a “skin in the game,” possibly as a JV partner
RFQ Content/Solicitation Set a realistic page count; identify what pages do/do not count Avoid requests requiring subjectivity or similar responses among proposers Include standard forms in RFQ for simpler organization/evaluation When answering questions, send responses to all proposers RFQ Evaluation Have technical staff at selection panel discussions to answer questions Obtain completed score sheets before selection panel adjourns Lessons Learned
Lessons Learned • Contents of Technical Proposal • Resist requesting more items; identify points that differentiate better schedule, better quality, less risk • Avoid asking for identical things in different sections • Ask key personnel to list only what contributes to project success • Confidentiality • Emphasize confidentiality among all teams; require signed agreements • Don’t put confidential evaluations/comments on shared computer drives • Don’t meet with individual proposers after release of RFQ; exceptions are official proprietary meetings • Be careful what is printed to shared printers
