Joint Industry-Government Design- Build Task Force Principles for the selection of a Design Builder Remuneration –50% of a reasonable fee –Based on complexity of the project and on level of detail contained in the Request for Proposal

Guide for Calculation of Remuneration Remuneration = estimate of construction cost x scope factor x cost factor

Scope Factor Combination of: Level of detail in the RFP documents –High –Medium –Low Complexity of the project –High –Medium –Low

Scope Factor:

Cost Factor:

Example Aquatic Centre with competition pool, wave pool, leisure water play area, weight training, and exercise room - $32,000,000 RFP included building program, functional relationships and description of intended image and character Best Value Selection 50% quality/50% price requiring a comprehensive proposal

Example - Scope Factor:

Example - Cost Factor:

Example - Remuneration $32,000,000 x x = $167,000

Methodology Assessment Matrix Design For what project complexity is the delivery method best suited To what extent must user requirements be defined prior to tender What level of design quality is characteristically achieved with the delivery method

Methodology Assessment Matrix Design How complex is the design review process for the owner To what extent can the delivery method accommodate scope/design changes during construction phase

Methodology Assessment Matrix Design To what extent does the delivery method inherently minimize changes To what degree do the owner and user have direct contact with the designer and are they able to directly influence the design

Methodology Assessment Matrix Schedule To what extent can the delivery method achieve accelerated delivery, or ensure delivery to specific schedule Ability to accommodate early construction start

Methodology Assessment Matrix Cost Potential to obtain an early cost commitment To what extent does the method accommodate adjustments to scope change during construction to achieve final costs within budget To what ability can the delivery method reduce claims/costs for changes and delays

Methodology Assessment Matrix Cost Ability to meet cash flow To what extent does the method permit the Owner to influence systems, materials and construction methods to minimize life cycle costs

Methodology Assessment Matrix Contracting To what extent is the required design and construction experience and knowledge available for the method Ability to pre-qualify the prime contractor on publicly funded projects Ability to pre-qualify the prime contractor on privately funded projects

Methodology Assessment Matrix Contracting Ability to pre-qualify subcontractors To what extent does the method employ a simple bid evaluation and selection system What level of construction quality can be achieved with the applicable delivery method

Methodology Assessment Matrix Risk To what extent does the method permit the Owner to transfer the liability for design errors and omissions, delays, construction errors and omissions and non conformance to contract documents

Methodology Assessment Matrix General To what extent do Owners have the experience and knowledge required to employ the method Market readiness
