B. Evaluate systems, assemblies, and materials being proposed for the project.
C. Verify that systems, assemblies, and materials meet project requirements.
D. Analyze drawings for systems, assemblies, and materials.
E. Evaluate products for code requirements.
F. Assess interior climate conditions for impact on materials and methods (e.g., pool, sauna, clean room).
G. Assess environmental conditions for impact on materials and methods (e.g., weather, humidity, seismic).
H. Evaluate products and systems for constructability and sequencing in project locale.
I. Evaluate and select products for compliance with design intent (e.g., cost, quality, aesthetics).
J. Obtain and evaluate standards and information from technical and professional societies.
K. Review reference standards for appropriateness (e.g., ASTM, AWWA).
L. Verify that necessary reference standards options have been selected.
M. Review and incorporate results of value engineering decisions.
N. Verify proposed construction meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements.
What document provides three forms for obtaining the appropriate information for Design-Negotiate-Build (D-N-B) Project Delivery Method?
A. AIA Document G701, Change Order
B. AIA Document G702, Application and Certificate for Payment
C. AIA Document G612, Owner’s Instructions to the Architect
D. AIA Document G703, Continuation Sheet
C. AIA Document G612, Owner’s Instructions to the Architect
The design-negotiate-build delivery method is similar to the design-bid-build method with the exception that instead of a bid phase, there is a negotiation phase where you negotiate the project cost (or how the cost will be determined) with one specific contractor and award the contract.
AIA Document G612, Owner’s Instructions to the Architect, provide three forms for obtaining the appropriate information: Part A for contracts, Part B for insurance and bonds, and Part C for bidding procedures.
True or False
In the Design-Negotiate-Build Project Delivery Method, the negotiations are frequently based on outline specifications and design development documents.
True
The negotiations are frequently based on outline specifications and design development documents leading to a cost of the work with a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) agreement.
The project manual and other construction documents are prepared to finalize the design, obtain required permits, and obtain actual prices for the cost of the work.
In the Construction Management Project Delivery, the construction manager is a contractor when he
A. Provides assistance during the design process.
B. Negotiates a Contract
C. Provides Construction
D. Does all of the above.
D. Does all of the above.
When the construction manager provides assistance during the design process, negotiates a Contract, and then provides Construction, the construction manager is a contractor.
In the Design-Build Delivery Method, the design-builder (in D-B) will
A. Respond to the RFP
B. Negotiate an Agreement
C. Eventually prepare the construction documents
D. All of the above
D. All of the above
RFP is request for proposal.
The design-builder (in D-B) will respond to the RFP, negotiate an Agreement, and eventually prepare the construction documents consisting of the specifications, drawings and subsequent modifications.
True or False
In an Owner-Build Project Delivery Method, a project manual is never necessary.
False
Project manual preparation for owner-build project is similar to that for other project delivery methods. A project may require a single project manual or several project manuals for multiple-prime contracts.
True or False
Products do not have to be coordinated with the drawings.
False
Regardless of who writes the specification sections or how they are developed, products must be researched, selected, evaluated, coordinated with other products, specified in a consistent and clear manner, and coordinated with the drawings.
Before beginning to write a section of specifications, the specifier needs
A. Project requirements and reference material
B. Drawings
C. Substitution requests
D. Information for Bidders
E. All of the above
A. Project requirements and reference material
Before beginning to write a section of specifications, the specifier must have the necessary information pertaining to that product, equipment, system, or assembly. Two kinds of information are needed. The first is information regarding the project requirements. The second kind of information is reference material pertaining to products and construction methods applicable to the particular specification section.
Selection of products is based on evaluation of the products against
A. Specific criteria derived from owner’s requirements.
B. Industry-standards
C. Vendor’s specialized requirements
D. Publications by public organizations
A. Specific criteria derived from owner’s requirements.
Selecting products for construction is like selecting goods for any other purpose. Selection is based on evaluation of the products against specific criteria derived from owner’s requirements.
When selecting products, if errors, conflicts, or missions are detected, comments should be made
A. On the Drawings
B. In the Notebook
C. On the Worksheets
D. All of the above
D. All of the above
Selected products must be coordinated among team members. Once generic products are determined, each type must be investigated for possible sources.
A checklist of the Materials to be used for a project may be circulated among the design for use in preparing Drawings and notations.
If errors, conflicts, or missions are detected, comments should be made on the Drawings, in the Notebook, or on the Worksheets for later correction and coordination.
One of the tasks to be performed in preparing a project manual is
A. Send the addenda to the owner and contractor for review.
B. Send Sections 02 -49 to the owner and contract administrators for review.
C. Send the proposed conditions of the contract and Division 01 to the owner and Consultants for review.
D. All of the above.
C. Send the proposed conditions of the contract and Division 01 to the owner and Consultants for review.
One of the tasks to be performed in preparing a project manual is: Send the proposed conditions of the contract and Division 01 to the owner and Consultants for review. The consultants need to know the information in these documents in order to properly coordinate their documents without duplication or omission.
Sharing of design and product decisions with project team members must begin at the earliest phases of the project.
Who should assume the responsibility for coordinating the flow and documentation of project information?
A. A/E
B. Owner
C. Contractor
D. Subcontractors
A. A/E
Sharing of design and product decisions with project team members must begin at the earliest phases of the project, and the A/E should assume the responsibility for coordinating the flow and documentation of project information.
True or False
The drawing may include schematic diagrams, layouts, plans, maximum and minimum dimensions, nominal dimensions, critical dimensions, modular increments, and component arrangements.
True
The drawing may include schematic diagrams, layouts, plans, maximum and minimum dimensions, nominal dimensions, critical dimensions, modular increments, and component arrangements.
True or False
Not until final selection of each system has been made will the A/E begin to develop definitive construction drawings, integrating owner-furnished items with descriptive items.
False
Not until final selection of each system has been made will the A/E begin to develop definitive construction drawings, integrating performance-specified items with each other and with descriptive items.
