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.

Maintenance

Description:

Work on CSU facilities is categorized as either a "project" and performed in accordance with State University Administrative Manual (SUAM) 9700 or as "maintenance" performed in accordance with ICSUAM 5000, Policy Manual for Contracting and Procurement. To determine the appropriate work category for a specific scope of work, apply the definition of "project" found in the CSU Contract Law (Public Contract Code section 10700 et seq.) and the definition of "maintenance" found in California Code of Regulations section 16000. In addition, the Labor Code is also cited to clarify when payment of prevailing wages is required.
