Design/Build (D/B) systems represent a structural delivery system in which a single entity is responsible for the design and construction of a facility. In some cases, the concept is extended to include project financing (DIBIF) and facility operation after construction (DIB/F/O). Among the advantages of the DIB system for the Owner are lower costs during the development process and reduced time for completion of the project.
A DIB process usually commences with the issuance of a Request For Proposal by the governing agency or private developer. The RFP document incorporates the project scope of services and other requirements such as garage capacity; the intended users ofthe facility; a schedule of completion; critical design issues; structural durability; and the financial, regulatory, and construction issues as appropriate. Often firms submitting proposals are asked to submit schematic drawings, outline specifications, project experience, and other required information on the critical issues related to design, construction activities, financing, project quality, etc.
The CEG staff members have the experience in creating DIB, D/BIF, and DIBIF/O proposals and arranging for construction and funding source participation. We're available to discuss these formats at any time.
