DBIA TEST EXAM 2024/2025
DBIA TEST EXAM 2024/2025 WITH GUARANTEED ACCURATE ANSWERS |VERIFIED
Project Delivery System - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅How team
members are organized, establishes when parties engage, determines
roles of parties, and determines sequence of design, procurement, and
construction (db, cmar, dbb)
Procurement Method - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅how team
members are selected (QBS, best value, low price, sole source)
Contracting approach - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅how team
members are paid (fp, gmp, cost reimbursement, target price, unit price)
Design-Bid-Build (DBB) - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅linear,
sequential process, A/E selected on qualifications, GC selected on low
price, design is fully completed without input from GC, A/E acting in
,owner's interests, with a historically strong bond, process is well-
established and understood
Construction manager at risk - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅similar org
structure to DBB, construction manager selected by QBS or best value,
contractor provides precon services, negotiated gmp contracting
approach, open book estimating process, potential to fast track project,
construction cost determined before design completed, potential issues
over what is reasonably inferable from gmp design documents
Design-Build - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅The owner contracts with
one entity (a person or firm) to provide both design and construction
services, designer and contractor have a direct contractual relationship,
selected by QBS or best value, wide spectrum of contracting approaches
and organizational structures, single point responsibility, owner does not
manage designer, owner exposure to claims is significantly reduced
Engineer procure construct (epc) - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅similar
to design build, in industrial and power generation sectors, systems and
performance testing are central to scope, contractor will typically
perform engineering with its in-house staff, owner has need for single
point responsibility, contracts include plant and process performance
guarantees, contract items include performance and schedule liquidated
damages and limitations of liability
Multiple Prime Contracting - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅owner
contracts with multiple trade contractors, attributes are typically similar
to dbb, owner's ability to schedule and coordinate the work
, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅multi-
party agreement - all parties equal, QBS procurement and target pricing
contract approach, private sector use (limited at this time), key: owner's
ability to accept risk
Public-private partnership (p3) - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅Instead
of government building and maintaining major infrastructure (such as
highway, water treatment plant), build and maintenance is outsourced to
a private company. Opposed by public sector unions. This is not
considered a delivery system but its underlying approaches are delivery
systems and typically use DB. Multiple procurement and contracting
approaches
Shift left - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅intense efforts to establish
scope early in the process; drives early team formation to include key
trade subcontractors; can enable big decisions to be made early, affect
project outcomes at lowest cost, establish a need for co-location and
collaboration, and compress time during concurrent design and
construction
Traditional design build - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅typically two-
phase best value procurement with lump sum contract; owner defines
project requirements and scope of prescriptive work; use of
performance-based technical requirements with limited prescriptive
specifications
Progressive design build - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅design and
price are progressively developed after the design-builder is under
contract; final project cost and schedule commitment is not established
