7. When is Design Build a good idea?  Projects where in-house resources are not sufficient  Projects that can benefit from fast-tracking  Projects with a high need for innovation  Projects on an Interstate  Risks known and transferable

8. With Design Bid Build (the traditional model) In DBB projects there is a balance between  Scope  Schedule  Budget

9. With Design Build  It is all about the Schedule!

10. Design Build from the U.S. Agency’s perspective Benefits  Identify and manage risk  Reduce acquisition time line  Encourage negotiated settlements  Encourage design to mitigate “damages”  Encourages use of effective scheduling methods and software  Expands DOT resources for Acquisition/Relocation Process  DB incentives help promote implementation of an effective Public involvement plan

11. Design Build from the ROW perspective Risks  Increased overhead and direct acquisition and relocation costs  Potential for coercive acquisition methods  Increased number of condemnation cases & admin settlements  Potential for precedent setting practices which are out of compliance with URA and or UDOT ROW Policies and Procedures.  Increased time for each ROW task due to increased hand offs between DB and Central DOT ROW  Delay Claims if DOT fails to meet schedule requirements

12. Issues for ROW with Design Build The Selection Process  Right of Way section of RFP must be sufficiently and accurately detailed  Selection Team must include a ROW Staff person  ROW component of the DB Proposals may not be sufficient to affect the overall selection of the DB team.

13. Design Build from the Engineering point of view Benefits  Early known cost  Reduce delivery time  Reduce design errors  Improve Constructability  Identify and manage risk  Encourage innovation  Less detail required in design  Expands UDOT resources Risks Proposal costs Innovation limited to contractor experience Third Party Delay

14. Canadian Perspective Mr. Tom Loo, P. E. Executive Director of Major Capital Projects for Alberta Transportation

15. Ring Roads  The Premier and the Government of Alberta have made a commitment to complete the ring roads in a free flow condition around the cities of Edmonton and Calgary  The majority of the land required for these major freeways were purchased by the province in the 1970’s

16. Current Status of Ring Roads  Segments of Anthony Henday Drive in Edmonton and Stoney Trail in Calgary are currently open to traffic  Planning, design, and construction is continuing on all remaining segments of the ring roads

17. Edmonton Ring Road

18. Calgary Ring Road

19. Project Delivery Mechanisms  Traditional Design-Bid-Build Projects up to approximately $100 million Majority of projects delivered using this method  Design/Build Projects approximately $100 to $300 million One project being delivered using this method  Public Private Partnerships (P3) under a Design/Build/Finance/Operate (DBFO) agreement Projects approximately over $300 million Two projects designed, constructed and currently in operations Two other projects being delivered using this method

20. Anthony Henday Drive – Stony Plain Road Interchange  Being delivered through Alberta Transportation’s first design/build contract  Includes 50 lane km of new and rehabilitated roadway and seven bridge structures which will provide for a free flow systems interchange

21. Anthony Henday Drive – Stony Plain Road Interchange

22.  Design/Build Procurement commenced in summer 2008 Issued RFQ in August 2008 Short-listed to three proponents Issued RFP September 2008 Executed agreement with preferred proponent February 2009  Contract price of $168.6 million  Construction commenced April 2009  Traffic availability scheduled for October 15, 2011

23. Design/Build Advantages  Cost certainty  Schedule certainty  Compressed schedule (fast-track design and construction)  Clearly defined project scope  Risk transfer  Opportunity for innovation

24. Design/Build Disadvantages  Clearly defined project scope  Design must be further advanced for accurate pricing  Unknowns removed (geotechnical, etc.)  Regulatory issues resolved in advance (risk not transferred)  Less “control” by owner during design and construction

25. Design/Build Disadvantages  Clearly defined project scope  Design must be further advanced for accurate pricing  Unknowns removed (geotechnical, etc.)  Regulatory issues resolved in advance (risk not transferred)  Less “control” by owner during design and construction

26. Design/Build Disadvantages  Potential for quality issues  Costly procurement process  Not ideal for projects with: Geotechnical unknowns Environmental issues Utility issues Any 3 rd party which may add risk to contractor

27. Design/Build Procurement Process  Detailed Technical Requirements  Pass/Fail criteria for technical submissions by proponents  Allow multiple runs at the gate to achieve pass within a set time period  Must be compliant technical proposal (pass) to proceed to price submission  Lowest price wins

28. Quality Management  Quality is very important to the owner  Quality Manager required and evaluated as part of RFQ  Quality Management System must be ISO compliant  Contractor responsible for overall Quality Control and Quality Assurance  Owner has maintained rigorous quality management oversight

29. Elements of Design/Build  Utility cost sharing threshold  Progress payments during construction  10% holdback  Late completion penalty of $10,000 per day  2-year warranty

30. Land Acquisition  Owner best party to manage the risk of property acquisition  In general, risks not properly allocated or mitigated will ultimately be transferred back to the owner through the bid price  Ideally, all required land should be acquired prior to the start of the procurement process  Majority of required land purchased by the province in the 1970’s

31. Land Acquisition  Some slivers or small parcels required for design and construction  Private contractors do not have the ability to expropriate property if required  Property acquisition can be a lengthy process and negate the advanced schedule benefits of Design/Build

32. Land Acquisition  Where the required sliver or parcel of land was not obtained prior to procurement, Design/Build agreement specifies when the required land will be available  Provincial staff continued to work during procurement period and early construction period to secure required land  Contractor required to mitigate impacts of not having required land at start of construction  Process has worked reasonably well

33. Current Status of Design/Build Project  Ahead of schedule  On budget  Good quality  Good working relationship with contractor

34. DB Consultant Perspective C. Wayne Larsen, SR/WA, R/W-AC

35. FORBES Rates Best & Worst Cities for Commuters  Forbes ranked Salt Lake City the best city in the country for commuters (FEB 16, 2010) Forbes ranked Salt Lake City the best city  "One of the reasons we are ranked so high by Forbes is because we have such a comprehensive transportation system."  "One of the biggest, most aggressive, and most successful rail expansion program in the country right now, "

38. The Most Important Lessons Learned by UDOT ROW  The RFP is your controlling document  Write and re-write the RFP to make sure all expectations are clearly written  A commitment to oversight is required by the DOT Don’t underestimate the amount of time and number of resources this will require  Hold the DB accountable, be assured that the DB will hold the DOT accountable  Manage Risk wisely and make the DB retain the responsibility of clearing ROW after the NTP date as stipulated in the RFP

39. Additional Lessons Learned  Monitor the QC/QA process to make sure it is adequate and effective  Have a strong Public Information component of the DB team  Make sure the DB carefully plans and conducts effective Community and Neighborhood focus meetings  Identify and work with 3 rd party stakeholders early in the process  Include utility, outdoor advertizing signs, rail roads, local agency and or 3 rd party agreements in the environmental document if possible.  If, not in the environmental agreement, develop utility, local agency and or 3 rd party agreements as early as possible

45. RFP must describe the specific Scope of Work 1.Prepare list of parcels with high priority 2.Determine clear scope of work for the ROW Design 3.Prioritize 3 rd party entities and all utilities 4.Provide the DB with a list of properties already acquired or which will be acquired by the DOT 5.Determine whether the DB will be responsible for the Closings and if so, will they provide Title Insurance 6.Detail who will have signature authority for every step of the process  Just Compensation  Pre-Approval of Admin. Settlement amounts  Contracts and or Settlement Authority for Mediations, Arbitrations and Condemnations.  Relocation Claims 7.Develop a negotiated Flow Chart with the DB 8.Meet and discuss status on a weekly basis 9.Track all hand offs to and from the agency (using a shared system if available) IE using our in house EPM system, or the DB’s tracking system. Agree on the method to be used to track the process, status and deliverable

46. Best Practice RE: Scope of Work Based on UDOT DB Projects  DOT should begin early acquisition process (total acquisitions & complex acquisitions or 3 rd party involvement)) as soon as possible once the project has Environmental Clearance  Purchase based on 30% design for the widest estimated footprint to include all potential easements  Transfer the responsibility of clearing ROW and the Risk as of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) Date.

47. Appraisal/Valuation Issues  Consistency in methodology and use of comparable sales data  Out of state appraisers and review appraisers are not recommended, out of necessity out of state reviewer may be ok but not ideal.  Single review appraiser or at least one reviewer per identified segment of the project for consistency purposes

48. Acquisition Issues  Monitor to ensure that policies and RFP are followed  Require good faith negotiations  Do not allow DB to use Right of Entry (ROE) unless other means to acquire have been exhausted  Use Right of Occupancy Agreement (ROO) responsibly and only if owner is willing to negotiate and or mediate differences of value  If ROO is obtained DB must follow up to acquire or condemn based on negotiated time line (negotiated with property owner) with authorization of the DOT  Condemnation Resolutions prepared timely  Condemnations may only be withdrawn by the Director of ROW

49. Relocation Issues  Ensure that proper notices are prepared and issued  Ensure that advisory assistance is appropriate and timely given  Make sure that DOT pre-authorizes studies and notices of eligibility before DB issues them  DB to keep log current and available to the DOT after each contact with property owner or displaced person  Sky is not the limit for relocations!  Rush to clear should not result in super adequate and or inappropriate relocation benefits offered  DB must insure that agents employed on the DB project meet or exceed minimum qualifications as if they were working directly for the DOT  Agents employed by the DB must be familiar with the subject area to ensure that what is thought to be comparable for replacement property is in fact comparable  Agents employed by the DB must remember that they are the face of the DOT and must conduct themselves accordingly

50. Property Management Issues  Salvage rights  Lease agreements  Terms of assumed leases  Walk through and release of security or key deposits  Security issues  Demolitions  Surplus Property  Staging Areas

51. 12300 South  360 ownerships (over 1000 parcels)  DB project completed in 3 years vs. 9 years projected under DBB.  Higher administrative settlement frequency due to aggressive schedule & cost pass through

52. 114 th South Special complexities  New Bridge over Jordan River  Relocation of a power substation  New I-15 Interchange  270 ownerships plus Utility easements  Current status: Construction is 61% complete  Acquisitions and Relocations in progress approximately 67% of needed ROW is cleared

53. Access Utah Projects and I-15 Core (Innovation)  Pioneer Crossing, a new, five-lane urban arterial from Redwood Road in Saratoga Springs to 300 East in Lehi.  Innovative Components A new diverging diamond interchange (DDI) at I-15 and American Fork Main Street, which will replace the existing diamond interchange.diverging diamond interchange (DDI) Includes an Express Lane in each direction through the interchange (to tie in to the upcoming I-15 widening project). ABC Bridge Construction (American Fork Bridge)  Estimated completion in 2 years  Construction is Currently 62% Complete  Managed as part of the “Access Utah”: group of 5 separate projects.  Central ROW provides oversight and helps to direct, train and oversee the ROW firms hired to clear the right of way.
