Project Delivery Method Determination Clause Samples

Project Delivery Method Determination. On January 23, 2019 the MoDOT Southwest District held a Project Delivery Determination Workshop to aid in the selection of a project delivery method that best fit the project requirements. Design-build and design-bid-build were evaluated, and the opportunities and obstacles for each delivery method were analyzed and compared based on the draft goals of the project: Goal #1: Deliver the project on budget – control quantities. Goal #2: Deliver the project on time and make the connection to I-49. Goal #3: Deliver a project that safely handles truck traffic (29%). Goal #4: Deliver a long lasting transportation facility that minimizes environmental and RW impacts. The workshop findings indicated that design-build and design-bid-build were both appropriate delivery methods for the project. It was ultimately decided to use design-bid-build with alternative technical concepts due to the following factors: • Right of way for the project had already been acquired. • A significant number of utilities had already been relocated. • Design plans for the project were nearly complete and had been “on the shelf” since 2009 (although a significant amount of pay items needed to be updated and the cross sections needed to be reproduced in the current version of MoDOT’s design software). • Lack of preliminary engineering funding to cover design-build stipends. • Lack of staff availability for design-build procurement. • A re-evaluation of the Environmental Impact Statement was underway utilizing the current alignment and right of way footprint. • Short timeframe required for plans delivery (ten-and-a-half months from late January to early December 2019) to meet the Grant commitment. • ATCs offered a solution for contractors to add innovation and cost savings to the project prior to award.
