Team Synergy vs. Individual Expertise: Rights and Wrongs of using Past Performance in Alternative Delivery Procurements
May 3, 2022 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am PDT
WCCC is pleased to host this series on Alternative Project Delivery Methods (APDMs). It will explore the themes of procurement, project execution, and broader organizational dynamics in the context of APDMs.
PART ONE THEME: Procurement
Whether using a classic 1-step QBS, 2-step QBS, or combined Best-Value procurement process, owners who “purchase” services in Alternative Delivery are ultimately seeking to hire the best firms and teams for their projects. There is much debate about which criteria should be the most heavily weighted in the evaluation process – such as experience of the firm, resumes of individual team members, past performance outcomes, team synergy and working relationship, and many other factors.
This session will provide an overview of how these criteria are typically used and share case studies from public agencies to help settle the debate of which are most effective at driving successful project outcomes. We will close with best practices based on years of applied research in this area.
Participants will learn:
- To better understand the value of individual expertise and team synergy in project outcomes
- Strategies to differentiate team qualifications in Alternative Delivery procurements
- Specific best practices for evaluating experience and qualifications in written qualifications statements as well as competitive interviews
- To understand how vendors (DB Teams, CM Teams, etc.) view procurement processes
Audience: Owners who want to evaluate qualifications according to best practices, and Design/Construction Teams who want to make their qualifications stand out.
