Risk can increase the cost and time to deliver services to meet expectations of the client. So how does one change the paradigm? This session will introduce a revolutionary approach to the project that will create transparency, reduce change orders, increase vendor performance, minimize risks and add value to the ROI.

A particular focus will be the Design-Build Efficiency and Jobs Act, H.R. 1666, federal legislation intended to encourage better use of design-build in federal projects and realize Design-Build Done Right. 11:45 a.m. Exhibit Hall Opens (Regency Ballroom) 11:45 a.m. 1:45 p.m. Lunch with the Exhibitors (Regency Ballroom) Sponsored By: Design + Construction Strategies 1:45 p.m. 3:00 p.m. (1.25 CEUs / 1 PDH) Myth-Busting the FAR: It Actually Does Permit Innovation in the Government Interest Dale L. Munhall, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, LEO A DALY Kurt Ubbelohde, F.SAME, LEO A DALY Contrary to common belief, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) does not contain every permissible way to procure design and construction. FAR Part 1.102(d) states if a specific strategy, practice, policy Louise A. Sabol, AIA, LEED AP, Design + Construction Strategies Building owners can benefit from BIM deliverables produced by designers and contractors. The Smithsonian Institution is developing BIM requirements to support the project execution process and to deliver space and asset data for continued use after the project concludes. Facility Investment Strategies Barbara Heller, FAIA, Design + Construction Strategies John Talkington, Smithsonian Institution Jim Barlow, Smithsonian Institution Building owners can collect and analyze facility requirements, create a collaborative work flow Baltimore District The Federal Government is using design-build more than ever. But why does it seem every government location implements design-build differently? Why do some small government projects succeed while others fail? What really is the best way to procure, select and manage a design-builder to ensure success on a small project? This presentation answers these questions and provides an overview of industry best practices for the Federal Government focusing on small design-build projects.

This presentation explores integrative design/construction strategies for thinking outside the FAR box. Making Sense of Price/Technical Trade-offs in Best Value Contracting (Advanced) Stephen Reams, Esq., Smith Currie & Hancock LLP Alan Saltman, Esq., Smith Currie & Hancock LLP The program will cover in detail the best value process including factor weighting and how price and technical trade-offs are made. In doing so, we will outline the facts and discuss the outcome of new and significant cases on the subject both at the Court of Federal Claims and the Government Accountability Office. We will also analyze the Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable Offer (LPTA) process and compare and contrast the two processes. and identify the most significant high-value projects for their enterprise. This presentation will explain a new initiative at the Smithsonian Institution to prioritize facility investments. Once successfully implemented, this process gives building owners insight into the facility needs of the enterprise, identifies enterprise priorities and provides decision support for project delivery method. Design-Build Works Well for Energy Retrofit When it Works (Advanced) James Waltz, AECOM Design-build offers greater value and streamlined implementation, but presents many challenges and potential pitfalls. This presentation will explore key fundamental issues regarding both energy retrofit and designbuild, highlight the opportunities and explore the potential pitfalls by means of mini-case studies. It used to be that buildings needed to keep out the elements and stand up under standard service loads. This is no longer enough. Now we need to be concerned about a myriad of attack modes including vehicles penetrating perimeters and aggressors bringing bombs to facilities. Incorporating these new requirements into design-build projects, especially during the proposal phase, is a challenging process in which the entire project team must work together to mitigate the risk.

Jordan Company Reggie Jones, Fox Rothschild LLP Nick Solosky, Fox Rothschild LLP Teaming arrangements on Federal projects are loaded with potential rewards, but also lots of risk. A winning team opens the door to previously untapped revenue potential but being part of a losing team can have devastating results for your business. The rise in popularity of design-build services is leading to growing numbers of design-build project delivery teams. Is your business calling the right plays to manage the relationship between the project designer and contractor? Expanding the Effectiveness of Design-Build Delivery through Sustainability Modeling (Advanced) Eric Nyenhuis, P.E., AECOM Avinash Srivastava, AECOM Integrating sustainability modeling and simulation in project development enables optimization of design-build projects to optimally satisfy a broad range of goals and desired outcomes. Federal Agencies are responding to energy mandates and constrained budgets by leveraging private financing through Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC). The use of Sustainable Systems Integration Modeling (SSIM), in the development of the project enables streamlined whole systems integration that simplifies complex decision 745,000 SF replacement hospital, the team had to find lean and innovative ways to shorten the normal processes.
