(2006). “Construction Delivery Systems: A Comparative Analysis of Their Performance within School Districts”. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 132(11). This paper focuses on school projects delivered using a multi-prime DBB approach. Projects under consideration are 94 school projects in the Northeast. The comparison is done based on qualitative and quantitative parameters. Quantitative parameters are construction speed, unit cost, cost growth, schedule growth, percentage change order, number of litigation cases. Qualitative ones are length of punch list, difficulty of facility startup, level of call-backs after owner occupancy, level of administrative burden, project team communication, project team chemistry and litigation. The study shows that there are more change orders in the case of multi-prime with CM which increases as the size of the project increases. Dorsey, R. (1997). Project Delivery Systems for Building Construction, Associated General Contractors of America, USA. This book covers four delivery systems i.e. lump sum general contracting, cost-plus a fee/GMP contracting, Design-Build, and Construction Management for building projects. The book suggests using a weighting matrix for project delivery system selection. The set of criteria in this matrix includes: size/dollar, complexity, uniqueness, proximity, external approvals, goals, experience, decisions, construction liability, business risks, quality, change, schedule, cost, early cost guarantee, value, and cultural factors. The book has many figures for illustrating the contractual relations between parties involved in a project in different delivery systems. It also gives the advantages and disadvantages of each delivery system in detail. Dunscombe, T., Cartwright, E. (2005). Oakland Airport Connector: Pushing the Design-Build Envelope,[WWW document].

TCRP G-08 – Project Delivery Methods Appendix B - Annotated Bibliography This book is mainly based on three major infrastructure projects in Europe (Channel Tunnel, Oresund Bridge, and Great Belt), and a number of transportation projects in the US and Europe. Based on the data gathered by the authors, underestimating the costs and overestimating incomes in transportation projects is a trend all over the world and most of the infrastructure projects face schedule delays. The book explains the reasons for cost overruns, revenue shortcomings, environmental issues, and delays, and suggests new approaches to be applied in decision making about projects and their economic and environmental impact estimates. Garvin, M (2003). “Role of Project Delivery Systems in Infrastructure Improvement,” Proc., Construction Research Congress, ASCE. The paper mainly concentrates on the importance of understanding the differences between the delivery systems. The author believes that many alternative delivery systems have flaws and this underscores the importance of thorough studies before decision making. The paper talks about O&M part of the project life cycle and studies BOT contracts as well as DB and DBB. Ghavamifar, K. and A.

Part of this paper is presented in this report under Appendix C. Gordon, C. M. (1994). “Choosing Appropriate Construction Contracting Method,” Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, ASCE, 120(1), 196-210. The author divides the contracting process into four parts: scope, organization, contract and award. He defines the traditional and alternative delivery methods and their advantages and disadvantages. Then the author covers owner’s drivers and market drivers and gives a list of parameters for decision making in delivery system selection. The paper also provides a flowchart for method selection.

TCRP G-08 – Project Delivery Methods Appendix B - Annotated Bibliography This paper studies the quality management approaches in 78 Design-Build projects based on their RFPs. These projects are divided in two groups and different mechanisms found in RFPs are categorized and the trends are studied. The authors found six different approaches: quality by qualification, quality by evaluated program, quality by specified program, quality by performance criteria, quality by specification, and quality by warranty. The authors believe that many DB project owners still have DBB mentality while developing their approach for quality management. Based on this study the highways have the most comprehensive approach to QM where owners ask for design QM and also qualification of the design team as well as QM for construction. Gransberg, D.D. and Molenaar, K.R. (2004). Life Cycle Award Algorithms for Design-Build Highway Pavement Projects, Journal of Infrastructure Systems, ASCE, 10(4). Gransberg, D.D. and Barton, R.F. (2007). "Analysis of Federal Design-Build Request for Proposal Evaluation Criteria," Journal of Management in Engineering, ASCE, Vol. 23 (2), April 2007, pp. 105-111. This paper is based on the analysis of 110 request for proposals and intends to identify the benefits federal owners are seeking through design-build process. The analysis compares the benefits cited for DB implementation and weights given to evaluation criteria. The study shows a very heavy weight given to price while schedule is given a very low average weight in government selection process. Gransberg, D. and Molenaar, K.R. (2007). “The Impacts of Design-Build on the Public Workforce”, Research Paper 07-01, USC Keston Institute for Public Finance and Infrastructure Policy, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, April 2007. This research focuses on the effects of design-build application on the transportation agencies’ staff. It shows that DB does not shift public professional engineering jobs from state agencies to private sector. It also shows that implementing DB requires a more competent and experienced workforce.

The paper is based on a data base of 67 projects from 5 million to 1 billion USD (mostly between 25 and 75 million). The main goal is comparing DB and DBB. Some parameters were defined for this comparison like cost change, schedule change and productivity. Taking absolute value of cost changes, there is a small difference between DB and DBB: 13% vs. 15.6%. For changes in schedule the same difference was observed. DB had 7.7% changes while DBB had 8.4% changes. The changes in productivity based on the changes in schedule or cost is compared. Irwin, D. (2003). "Developing the design and construction contracting plan for a major light rail extension project," Transportation Research Circular No. E-C058, TRB, Washington, D.C., 557-575. This paper shows the complexities of transit projects due to several approvals needed, interaction with communities, coordination, property takes, etc. The author then highlights the advantages and disadvantages of several delivery methods and also gives data about a few Oregon transit projects and legal limitations of transit agency (TriMet) in that state. The paper provides useful information on the selection of a CM-at-risk approach for transit project delivery. Katz, G., and Smith, S. (2003). Build-Operate-Transfer: The Future of Public Construction?, Journal of Construction Accounting and Taxation,March/April, 36-48. This paper defines and explains the advantages and disadvantages of BOT and similar systems like BOO, BTO, etc. It concentrates on the fact that this delivery system, which is mainly developed to attract private funds to build infrastructures, has an inherent problem about risk allocation. This problem is because of the difficulties guaranteeing the revenue of the facility by the public entity. The private sector is reluctant to participate in a project in which the minimum stream of revenue is not guaranteed. These guarantees sometimes conflict with constitutional law against monopoly. The authors believe that BOT contract have some mechanisms to cover the risks of the private entity but do not have mechanisms to give enough control to the public entity on the project.

Kluenker, C. (2001). “Risk vs. Conflict of Interest-What Every Owner Should Consider When Using Construction Management,” CMeJournal, Construction Management Association of America. This paper is about different ways of contracting with a construction manager in a project. It explains the level of risk and responsibility of the Agency CM in each case and shows how transfer of risks to the CM may cause conflict of interest in the project. The paper discusses the evolution of construction management.

Sanvido (1998). “Comparison of U.S. Project Delivery Systems,” Journal of Construction Engineering. and Management, ASCE, 124(6), 435-444. This paper compares DBB, DB and CMR in building projects based on three criteria: time, cost and quality. The paper is based on a research which consisted of four phases: develop an instrument for data collection and pilot test it, collect data from US projects, check the validity of data collected, testing different hypotheses. The projects are divided into six groups in order to have a better judgment about each group. In general, the paper concludes that DB is superior to DBB and CMR in terms of speed of delivery and control of cost growth. Kumaraswamy, M. M. & Dissanayaka, S. M.

It describes the capabilities of design-build and gives a matrix for risk allocation in this delivery method. Molenaar, K.R., and Scott, S. (2003). Book chapter "Examining the Performance of Design-Build in the Public Sector," Design-Build for the Public Sector, Edited by Michael Loulakis, ISBN 0-7355- 3011-4, Aspen Business and Law, Aspen Publishers, 71-112. This chapter examines the efforts made to measure success or benchmark design-build against more traditional project delivery methods in public sector construction. It also recommends strategies that public owners should consider when implementing design-build to measure performance and improve their chances of realizing a successful outcome. It also discusses the effects that different design-build procurement and contracting strategies have on performance outcomes. Mouritsen, J.W.

TCRP G-08 – Project Delivery Methods Appendix B - Annotated Bibliography This paper is based on eight DB transit projects in the US and has useful information about them. The author has collected information about the projects and also has sent questionnaires to all the parties involved in these projects and has obtained information about cost overruns, delays, management skills, challenges in the projects, lessons learned by the owner and necessity of early contractor’s involvement in the project. The author concludes that the contractor in DB projects should come onboard when the design is 10 to 15% complete and also the federal funds should be available when they are needed. Scott, S.

This report studies 21 highway projects that have used DB as the delivery system to find out the effects of this delivery system on the success of highway projects. They have collected the data from the published reports and also some interviews with the key people in those projects. Their conclusion shows 100% owners satisfaction with using DB in their projects. Two factors have mainly driven the owners in choosing DB as a delivery method: schedule and finance.

TCRP G-08 – Project Delivery Methods Appendix B - Annotated Bibliography This paper is based on the evaluation of two phases of Baltimore light rail. The first phase is done with a DBB method and the second phase with a DB arrangement. The authors compare these two projects and explain some clauses in DB contract and also bonding issues and at last compare the level of control of the owner in these two delivery methods. Toussant, J. (2003). “Environmental Impacts to Design/Build Projects-A Case Study of the St. George Island Bridge Replacement”, Leadership and Management in Engineering, 128-132. This paper is about replacement of a bridge in Apalachicola Bay. It is done using a DB approach. Because of the sensitivity of the environmental issues, the owner had developed a best value selection system in which environmental plan of the proposals had a high weight. This case study shows some flexibilities of DB when the environmental issues are of paramount importance.

Transit Cooperative Research Program (2002). “Design-Build Transit Infrastructure Projects in Asia and Australia”, Federal Transit Administration, Washington, D.C. This report was sponsored by the TCRP and covers DB application in transit projects in Asia and Australia. It was observed that many transit-related projects in Hong Kong have been done using DBOMT; in Thailand, some transit projects are done by DBOOT. They collected the experiences and lessons learned on DB application in these countries and Australia. They found that using DB would reduce the number of approval milestones and help the project go forward when approved once. The report explains different aspects of DB contract like risk, control, and quality in some detail. Trombly, J., Luttrell, T.

The focus of the paper is on preceding stages of DBOM and explains the development of Public-Private-Partnership. The main advantage of PPP compared to DBOM is said to be new allocation of risks in the project. A transit project starts from a need for public transportation and goes through different studies and phases by various entities, before it goes to the construction phase. In PPP, the legislators let the private sector partner with the public entity, finance the project, design it, build it and operate it for a predetermined time. NJDOT receives proposals (13 mentioned in the paper) for any kind of PPP project. Barriers to this procurement are public ignorance, environmental mandates and mistrust between the parties. Yin, R.K.
