Design-Build Overview Jay Hietpas Design Build Program Manager Mn/DOT

Design-Build A project delivery method that overlaps the design and construction phases Phases are concurrent, rather than sequential like traditional Design-Bid-Build method New project and quality management approach New roles and responsibilities for Mn/DOT and Contractors

How Does Design-Build Change the Traditional Process? Project Scoping (Mn/DOT) Develop Construction Plan & R/W Acquisition (Mn/DOT) Pre-Design & Enviro. Studies (Mn/DOT) Construction (Contractor) Traditional Process = Design–Bid–Build Open Bids Open to Traffic Project Scoping (Mn/DOT) Pre-Design & Enviro. Studies (Mn/DOT) Detail Design (Design-Builder) Construction (Design-Builder) Time Savings New Process “Tool” = Design-Build Process Develop Request for Proposals & R/W Acquisition (Mn/DOT) Open Bids Open to Traffic

Past Design-Build Projects  ROC 52 in Rochester  I-494 Expansion in West Metro  TH 10/32 Interchange near Hawley  TH 212 Expansion in West Metro  TH 52 in Oronoco  Sign Replacement – District 4  I-35W Bridge  Low Bid (35W Lakeville, TH 100, TH 14)

State Law Process Two Step Process (Best-Value)  Request for Qualifications (RFQ)  Short-List of Teams  Request for Proposals (RFP) Low Bid  Short-List is Optional  Request for Proposals (RFP)

Difference to bid-build  Lump Sum  Contractor responsible for design  Mn/DOT will review design prior to construction  3-year warranty  Quality Process
