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.

Forms for TOCA Collaborative Design-Build

Task Order Construction Agreement (TO-CA): A construction contract procurement vehicle delivery method that is used for performing multiple projects as individual tasks under a single construction master enabling agreement (MEA). Each task can be executed either as a Construction Manager at Risk (CM TO-CA); or Collaborative Design-Build (CDB TO-CA) delivery method.

Architect – CDB TO-CA: The Architect and the owner will not have a direct contractual relationship; however, the owner’s input will be required to complete the design. The Architect and the Design-builder have a direct contractual relationship. The owner will issue task orders for design and preconstruction services to the DB Contractor (Phase 1).
DB Contractor – CDB TO-CA: Upon completion of Phase 1 services and owner may issue the TO-CA construction agreement (Phase 2) to the design builder.
Architect – CM TO-CA: The owner will execute design service agreement(s) directly with a design entity to develop the construction documents for each project. A service agreement to the design entity, outside of the TOCA MEA, and task order for services to the Contractor should be executed simultaneously.
Contractor – CM TO-CA: The owner will issue task orders for preconstruction services (Phase 1), and after approval of scope and GMP, the construction agreement (phase 2).
Project Procurement: An MEA is awarded to a contractor / Design Builder as a product of a best value selection. TO-CA is a three-year contract with a limit of $30,000,000 total maximum budget cost for all projects, including all design and preconstruction services.
