Choose a Delivery Method:

Collaborative-Design-Build

This delivery method is a hybrid of the CMAR and DB. In the Phase 1 agreement, the owner and Design-Builder collaborate to develop a set of Design-Build documents and a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) based on those documents and a Phase 2 Design-Build agreement as a product of the scope and GMP developed in Phase 1.

Construction Manager At Risk

This delivery method requires a construction manager (CM) to provide preconstruction services (Phase 1) for the design and a separate construction contract (Phase 2) to deliver the project. The design team develops the construction documents with the information provided by the owner and the CM at Phase 1. The CM commits to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) developed throughout Phase 1.

Design-Bid-Build-Major

This is the traditional method of project delivery. It involves three phases: a linear design, bidding and construction. Construction documents are developed first by a design entity. Documents are competitively bid and the project is awarded to the contractor with the lowest price who is qualified, responsive and responsible.

Design-Bid-Build-Minor

Design-Build

For this delivery method, the owner awards a single agreement for design and construction after selecting a project solution through a best value project competition.

TOCA Collaborative Design-Build

This construction contract procurement method is used for performing multiple projects as individual tasks under a single master enabling agreement. Each task can be executed as either a Construction Manager at Risk (CM TOCA) or a Collaborative Design-Build (CDB TOCA) delivery method.

TOCA Construction Manager at Risk

This delivery method is used for performing multiple projects as individual tasks under a single master enabling agreement (MEA). Each task can be executed as either a Construction Manager at Risk (CM TOCA) or a Collaborative Design-Build (CDB TOCA) delivery.

Job Order Contracts

This construction procurement uses an annual contract with a prequalified contractor to accomplish minor capital outlay maintenance, repair or improvement projects by utilizing a construction task catalog for pricing. Design services are typically separate from the JOC contract.

Design-Build (DB): The owner will award a single agreement for design and construction after selection of a project solution through a best value project competition in Design-Build delivery method.

Architect: The owner will not have a direct contractual relationship with the design team and therefore less control over the design. The design team and the contractor have a direct contractual relationship.
- The owner may execute separate agreements with separate professional service providers to develop criteria, standards, or bridging documents prior to the design competition.
- The owner may execute separate agreements with separate professional service providers to provide advisory services such as review of project and submittals on behalf of the owner.
DB Contractor: A single design and construction agreement will be executed with the successfuldesign build team.
Project Procurement: Project selected through best value competition that satisfies therequirement of the project Request for proposals.
