A ___ type of specification allows contractors to choose the materials and installation methods to provide the desired results.
a. Reference
b. Design-build
c. Descriptive
d. Performance
d. Performance
p 21-43
Specifications are one of the elements produced during the design phase of a construction project. Performance— The focus is on results. Contractors can choose the materials and installation methods to provide the desired results.
In a _____ bid, bids and contracts for the mechanical, plumbing, and electrical portions of the project must be separate from the general construction contract.
a. Negotiated
b. Segregated
c. Syndicated
d. Multiple prime
d. Multiple prime
p 21-38
in the United States, bidding laws often require the mechanical, plumbing, and electrical portions of the work to be bid and contracted separately from the general construction contract. This is called a multiple prime bid or filed sub bid.
Once bids are received from the contractors, this type of delivery method ___, is where the owner and design professional will review these bids to award the contract.
a. Design-bid-build (DBB)
b. Design-build (DB)
c. Construction manager (CM) at risk
d. Integrated project delivery (IPD)
a. Design-bid-build (DBB)
p 21-37
The final phase is the construction phase, which consists of construction of the facility. The design professional typically will also have a role in overseeing the contraction at the owner’s request.
In this delivery process ___, the construction typically is overlapping the design phase. This allows for an expedited schedule while minimizing any potential risk for the owner.
a. Design-bid-build (DBB)
b. Design-build (DB)
c. Construction manager (CM) at risk
d. Integrated project delivery (IPD)
b. Design-build (DB)
p 21-37
Unlike the DBB scenario, the design professionals generally work directly for the contractor.
This approach ___ integrates all aspects of the design and construction process into a single team effort. This includes design professionals, CMs, and contractors.
a. Design-bid-build (DBB)
b. Design-build (DB)
c. Construction manager (CM) at risk
d. Integrated project delivery (IPD)
d. Integrated project delivery (IPD)
p 21-37
IPD uses a three-pronged platform with the owner as one entity, the design professionals as the second, and the contractors as the third.
With this form of contract, ___ , there can be a shared savings clause or incentives for early completion.
a. Stipulated sum
b. Cost plus fee
c. Unit price
b. Cost plus fee
p 21-41
This form of contract often leads to value engineering that can generate savings during the construction phase of the building.
In the design-build (DB) project delivery method, the design professionals generally work directly for the:
a. Architect
b. Consultant
c. Contractor
d. Owner
c. Contractor
p 21-37
Unlike the DBB scenario, the design professionals generally work directly for the contractor.
