II. Design-Build Detivery Method -Staff Recommendations:

A. District's Prior Adoption and Recognition of the Design-Build Delivery Method.

The Design-Builddeiivery method was adopted by the Board of Trustees on December 3,2003 (Corn. No. BSD5) as a delivery option District-wide.

Education Code sections 81700 et seq. specificaUy authorize community coilege districtsto utilize the Design-Bui!d delivery method as a safe and cost efficient aitemative tocompetitive bidding because the Legislature has determined that it can produceaccelerated compietion of projects, provide for cost containment, reduce constructioncomplexity and reduce exposure to risk for community college districts. The Legislaturehas also determined that the cost-effective benefits to community coliege disfr-icts areachieved by shifting the !iabl:lity and risk for cost containment and'project compietion tothe design-build entity.

The foregoing Code sections aiso: A) recognize and permit that the full scope of design,construction, and equipment awarded to a design-build entity under the applicable Codesections can be authorized in a single funding phase and that a community collegedistrict can award design-build contracts on a "best vaiue" (quatitative selection) basis;and B) require that the governing board of a community college district makes'writtenfindings that use of the design-buiid process will accompijsh one of the foliowingobjectives, (i) reduce comparable project costs, (ii) expedite the project's compietion, or

provide features not achievable through the traditiona! design-bid-build method.Ill
