  1. Risk Based Contingency Estimating Jay Drye, WSDOT November 2005

  2. Contingencies • Set up to cover Unforeseen Conditions • Additional Work • Quantity Overruns • Risks that materialize • Dispute Resolution

  3. Contingency Estimating • WSDOT Historically • Previously 5% • Currently 4% based on audit • Programmatic • Large Projects utilizing CEVP®

  4. Problem • Large Projects • Percentage may not be adequate • No way to balance a program • Unique Projects • How does % relate to risk

  5. Risk Management • Risk Management is a systematic approach for making informed decisions while minimizing adverse impacts to project scope, cost, and schedule. • Risk Management Focuses on identifying risks and managing their outcomes.

  6. What do we do with RM info? • The design risk management process identifies, analyzes, assigns and reduces risk where appropriate. • Includes minimizing the consequences of adverse events. • What about the remaining risk and consequences carried into Construction?

  7. Quantitative Risk Analysis • Aims to analyze numerically the probability of each risk and consequences on project objectives. • Inputs: CEVP or CRA results Alternatively Simplified Register • Output: Qualitative Risk Based Contingency

  8. Uncertainty in Total Project Cost andDuration Event X Activity B Activity A End $ Start Activity C T Uncertainty in Activity “Base” Costs Event Y Uncertainty in Activity “Base” Durations Risk Events (likelihood of occurrence, and likelihood for cost and duration changes if the event occurs) Evaluate Uncertainty

  9. Limitations of Simplified Register • Lower Accuracy for: • Low number of Risks • High Probability Risks • Relies on Probabilistic Data • Not Statistically Correct • Not Recommended for Opportunities

  10. Risk Register

  11. Risk Based Contingencies • Quantify the risk • Better documentation • Better programming = meeting commitments • Reduce crisis management • Higher confidence priorities in construction administration • Better Monitoring

  12. Risk Monitoring and Control • Update as project develops • Use in Change Order Process • Manage Risks to reduce financial impacts

  13. Tips for Success! • Consider all team input in the development of Risk Management and Risk Register. • Be realistic about values and risks • Monitor efforts to reduce risks
