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 Steps

RFQ / RFP

Request for Qualifications & Request for Proposals

Description:

For Design-Build CPDC staff have provided a contractor selection process with template documents for campus use, this process entails:

The campus advertising and issuing a Request for Qualifications, from which respondents submit Statements of Qualifications (SOQ). All respondents to the Request for Qualifications must prequalify with the Trustees' Prequalification Coordinator, and submit a copy of their prequalification letter as part of the SOQ. The pre-appointed selection committee members review and score the SOQ. This review committee should not exceed 6 or 7 members, with an emphasis on design and construction expertise. Each member of the selection committee should be assigned a section of the SOQ to become an expert on and report their findings for that section to the committee. The selection committee discusses all sections in turn and arrives at a consensus score for each section, and the SOQ as a whole. During the SOQ phase the emphasis is on picking the best companies, with the best teams, for the project.
The top three or four scoring candidates move on to the Request for Proposals process, and submit a schematic design, technical and project cost proposal for the work. The selection committee members should be the same for the SOQ and RFP phases. Each member of the selection committee should be assigned a section of the RFP to become an expert on and report their findings for that section to the committee. The selection committee should discuss all sections in turn and arrive at a consensus score for each section and the RFP as a whole. During the proposal phase the emphasis is on picking the best design for the project. After the cost proposals are opened and entered into the bid abstracts, the proposer with the highest overall score is awarded a Lump Sum Design-Build agreement. All persons on a selection committee shall sign a Conflict of Interest Form.

Proposal Packages and Addenda

Description:

Bid proposal packages include:

Design-Builder is not required to list subcontractors when submitting its proposal. When a subcontract is bid and awarded as a part of the DB agreement then the Design-Builder shall list the subcontractor, which shall then be subject to PCC 4100 rights. Early listings are likely to be Design-Assist/Design-Build contractors. Design-Builder shall use the following subcontractor listing document: List of Subcontractors for DB and CDB Projects-701.04A.DB/CDB.

Confirm Proposer License/DIR Reg: Bid proposal packages are assembled and numbered by the campus bidding office. In design-build procurement, the campus bidding office issues numbered Prior to issuing a bid proposal package, the Campus bidding office must confirm that bidder is registered with DIR to bid public works projects, appropriately licensed by CSLB, and prequalified with CSU. The campus confirms bidder's prequalification status during the RFQ process, therefore, campus may then issue a fee proposal package to the shortlisted proposer. Campus shall not post fee proposal packages online without the "Sample" overlay on the bid proposal form.

Addenda: If necessary Construction Administrator must issue an addendum to address any deficiency in the bid documents. If addendum contains material changes, it must be distributed not later than 72 hours prior to bid by law, and by policy, 5 working days.
