DBIA Unofficial Practice Questions IV

Again, I don't know what's on the test, but these are my own practice questions prepared for myself.

Question	Answer
What is the purpose of Notice of Award?	Grants the right to negotiate terms and conditions, scope of design-build within the budget
What's the difference between criteria documents and bridging documents?	Criteria docs are when you only have qualifications/program and schematics, Bridging docs means you have design/construction documents
What are the four components during the proposal stage?	Team alignment, process commitment, conceptual design, cost model
What are the steps in Post Award stage?	Design validation, agree to new benchmarks, develop the Integrated Design Work Plan
What are the Five Dysfunctions of a Team	Absence of Trust Fear of Conflict Lack of Commitment Avoidance of Accountability Inattention to Results
Why do some design-build projects fail?	Failure to commit time and effort by all parties during the design phase, and inexperience and lack of knowledge of Best Practices
True or false: Being a good construction manager will automatically make you a good design-build manager	False, it requires some distinct management practices and incorporating DB Best Practices
What is the difference between construction and design process?	Construction is a sequential process, design is an iterative process
What are four tasks the DB manages?	Design-Value Interface Design-Cost Interface Design-Construction Interface (schedule) Design-Performance Interface
TRUE or FALSE: Cost and design parameters should be made during the design process.	TRUE, don't let the design parameters be figured out after the design.
What are the two components of Design Development Phase?	Design Validation and Design Reconciliation
What assumptions about site conditions are generally made during estimating?	Pre-existing conditions, subsurface conditions, DB created environmental conditions
At what percentage of the the design phase does the criteria documents become bridging documents?	20%
What are some Design Deliverables?	Having disciplined intense involvement (life cycle analysis) and construction sequencing.
How can quality assurance be in design-build?	Establish a performance criteria
What did we learn from Code of Hammurabi?	We need to establish a single point of responsibility
What happened in construction during the Industrial Revoluation?	Split of responsibility between architect and engineers
Who should retain the responsibility for Dispute Resolutions?	Owner
What are some of the benefits from Design Build?	Fast track scheduling, reduce owner liability of design errors, fewer claims
What is important from the Miller Act 1935?	Created a legal separation between design and construction, started Payment and Performance Bonds
