  • Public Procurement Practice SELECTING the APPROPRIATE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT DELIVERY METHOD
    Public Procurement Practice SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT DELIVERY METHOD INTRODUCTION Application of guidance in public procurement practices will depend on the laws, procurement codes, ordinances, and policies of each entity, along with any grant provisions. Individual agencies may also use different terms for the methods described. STANDARD Selection of a construction project delivery method will depend on which delivery methods are permitted by legislation and will be determined through a business analysis of the project characteristics. Project characteristics may include price, complexity of scope, risk, and qualifications, experience, capability, and capacity of the contractor. The attributes of each project characteristic and the priorities of the entity will also help determine which method is selected. Definition: Project Delivery Method A project delivery method is a process that achieves the satisfactory completion of a construction project. The method is selected for the purpose of assigning risk and responsibility to members of the project team, i.e., owner, designer, builder. Element 1: The three primary construction project delivery methods are Design-Bid-Build (DBB), Design-Build (DB), and Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR). o i t c u r Definition: Design-Bid-Build t s d o n o h The traditional construction project delivery method, which t C e customarily involves three sequential project phases of design, e M t procurement, and construction, and two distinct contracts, one for a y i r the design phase and one for the construction (build) phase. r e p v o i l r e p p D A t c e e j 1.1 Design-Bid-Build (DBB) h t o When using the DBB construction project delivery method, the designer is generally selected r g P through qualifications-based selection.
