Design - Build A single entity who controls all aspects of design and construction. Pros: Cons: Faster overall timeline to completion Design -> Construction Autonomy Efficient Communication Can see cost savings Construction can start before final design is complete Longer design time Cannot have a separate construction company oversee construction Greater risk of change orders Less control once a GMP has been agreed too Too many unknowns with the FAA Overall new to airport industry
Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) A construction manager hired by the owner to complete design and construction under a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Pros: Cons: Most of the time accompanied by a GMP Can see cost savings Transfer of risk from owner to CM Longer design time Too many unknowns with the FAA Less control once a GMP has been agreed too Potential conflicts as CM is also the GC.
Design - Bid - Build Firm that designs a project, puts it out for bid, and then hires GC/CMA to complete construction. Pros: Cons: Traditional and familiar to the DAA Greatest speed during design phase Greatest flexibility during design phase Designer will oversee construction through completion A longer process overall No contractor input in design
Why Did the DAA Choose Design-Bid-Build? Too many unknowns at this point Speed needed during the design phase Most flexible to respond to guidance changes Familiar to the DAA/FAA
