Hosted by Garney Construction
1333 NW Vivion Rd,
Kansas City, MO 64118
This one-day inclusive education and training session for city and county officials; managers and staff of municipal, private, and governmental organizations; and private industry will provide essential knowledge needed to plan for, procure, and manage design-build and CMAR for water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
Session topics include:
Deciding to Implement a Collaborative-Delivery Project presents key components of strategy, tactics, and implementation on what is required to build internal understanding and consensus about a project’s goals, priorities, and drivers, with special emphasis on the role and responsibilities of an owner advisor.
Principles and Best Practices of Collaborative Delivery describes the relationships of the core collaborative-delivery methods—construction management at-risk, progressive design-build, and fixed-price design-build—the differences as well as advantages and distinctions.
Risk Management and Contracts addresses the areas of risk that are typical for water and wastewater projects: common project risks and allocation principles, managing risks, addressing liability and risk in the collaborative-delivery contract, contract commercial concepts, industry-standard contract forms, and cautions for consideration.
Conducting the Procurement Process describes the major steps in the procurement process from preparing the request for qualifications and request for proposals to selecting the design-builder or CMAR firm.
Managing and Implementing Collaborative-Delivery Projects focuses on core activities for three distinct areas.
1. Team Structure for Effective Collaborative Delivery
2. Developing a Collaborative Working Environment
3. Implementing a Project Management Plan
Getting to Project Completion and Transition provides a roadmap of activities essential to the success of the final project stages that allows all stakeholders to view the project with the most balanced risk profile and clear understanding of critical success factors.
