Design Build Respondents
CONTRACTOR ENGINEERING FIRM
T. A. Loving Company, Goldsboro, NC McKim & Creed, Inc., Raleigh, NC
Sanford Contractors, Inc., Sanford, NC W K. Dickson & Co., Inc., Raleigh, NC
Issues/Analysis:
The Water Engineering Department previously determined that a progressive design-build approach combining the design and construction phases into a single contract would result in faster project delivery, greater cost savings, and greater accountability.
In contrast to a conventional design-build contract, a progressive design-build contract involves the parties entering into the agreement at an early stage of the design process, allowing for substantial input from both sides. The determination of the final contract price, particularly the construction cost, is postponed until the design is well-developed, and both parties have sufficient information to establish a fair and accurate final price. Phase I of the contract focuses on sixty percent (60%) of the preliminary design, while Phase II addresses the final design and construction. The projected cost for Phase I is $2,046,832.84, representing eleven percent (11%) of the total estimated project price.
As a progressive design-build project, the request is being made in accordance with Resolution No. PWC2022.019 - Resolution Establishing Design-Build Criteria, including the pre-approval of a design-build approach by the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to that certain Memorandum dated September 26, 2022. As the cost of Phase I of the project is expected to exceed $500,000.00, approval of the Commission is required.
Budget Impact:
The Line 54-Inch Outfall, Research Drive to I-95 Project (Phase I) is a budgeted item (budgeted amount of 2,046,832.84).
