Selection – Value Based PropositionSelection dictates the maximum capacity to achieve a quality plan

Procurement methodologies to identify expertise:• Risk and Value focused RFP Process• Simple, brief, anonymous evaluation process• Evaluation of key project personnel

– Proven Past Performance Information– Ability to identify, prioritize, and minimize risk– Interviews of project delivery personnel– Focus on specific project needs– Minimize marketing information

• Cost/Financial

BV Model Has Multiple Filters• No single step will complete minimize all risk. Process has several

steps that act as filters.

• Filters do not limit competition, but make it difficult for non-performers to be competitive.

• Looking for dominant information

• Plan 1– We will use our 20 years of experience in working with mechanical

systems to minimize the risk of the heating and cooling system design.

• Plan 2– We have identified the design of the heat/cooling system as a risk. It has

not been used before in the area. Will ensure that the system performance and installation is verified in the pre-award period.

– We have bid using best rated mechanical contractor in the area (rated at 9.8 out of 10.0, next best rated 9.1)

– Mechanical contractor identified modifications to the design to improve output and sustainability of the system with the following impacts (mechanical system cost minimized by 15% - see VA#1)

– Mechanical system will be provided by one manufacturer, and will be commissioned by the manufacturer, contractor, and general contractor, who will take full responsibility of commissioning the system

• Plan 1– We will work with the user to minimize the impact of noise from

demolition.

• Plan 2– We have planned to demolition during off hours and weekends. This

will have a slight impact on our cost (less than 1%), but the impact to customer satisfaction justifies this.

– We will also install rubber sheets on the floors to diminish noise and vibrations.

– Both solutions can be performed within your budget. – Both solutions have been used on multiple previous projects w/ high

levels of customer satisfaction (9.4/10).

Risk Assessment• Identify major project risks (and prioritize)

• Risks that have not yet been minimized before the start of the project (i.e. risks that the Proponent does not control)– Explain why the risk is a risk– May cause cost increases, transition delays, change orders, or

cause dissatisfaction to the client– Should be non-technical– Should be a risk specific to the current project

• Identify solution to avoid / minimize the risk• Non-technical explanation• Must explain how risk is avoided or minimized from occurring• For high score solution should contain performance information &

best value practices

Example of Solutions Risk: Loss of Radio Flagship in Major MarketType: Risk Assessment• Plan 1

– We will work very hard to maintain excellent affiliate relationships. If we lose a radio station (e.g. it changes its format) we will move quickly to replace the lost station. If we cannot quickly replace a flagship station, we can be very creative and could even consider purchasing all local inventory from a new flagship station.

• Plan 2– In the past 10 yrs, on over 50 accounts, 7 radio stations format changes

have occurred. The following solution is optimal.– We own and will maintain two radio contracts covering the area, where

signals can be switched if required. The flagship station will be the station with the stronger signal and greater coverage.

– If a station is lost we will have a equal replacement within 2 months. If within two months a replacement is not contracted we will purchase inventory from another station or discount the cost of an inventory purchase and add it to our payments to the client.

• Plan 1– Coordination with [water company] is critical. We will

coordinate and plan with [water company] as soon as the award is made to make sure that we get water to the site to irrigate the fields.

• Plan 2– We will coordinate and schedule the water with [water

company]. However, based on past experience there is a high risk they will not meet the schedule (the water company does not meet schedule over 90% of the time).

– We will have temporary waterlines setup and ready to connect to the nearby fire hydrant to irrigate until [water company] is ready.

– We will also have water trucks on-site if there is problems with connecting the lines.

Example of Solutions Risk: Getting water to the site

Why Value Add Plan?1. Provide ways to keep project at or below budget

– Modifications to requirements to meet budget– Specific cost ($) savings– Supported by metrics (high performance)

2. Increase customer satisfaction

3. Increase performance

Example: Value Added Items

• Reroofing this building will not stop all water leaks. The majority of the leaks are caused by cracks in the parapet walls, broken/missing glass, and poor caulking. For an additional $10K and 3 weeks in schedule we can replace and repair all of these items.

Arizona State University

Example: Value Added Items• Instead of purchasing “Named Licenses”, the Agency

may want to consider purchasing “Concurrent Licenses”. In a “Named Licensing” model, the software designates a license per user and only that particular named user can use/access the license. If that named user is in meetings, on vacation, or not using the system, the license is not utilized. In a “Concurrent Licensing” model, the server keeps track of the total number of licenses and loans the licenses to users as they log in. If a user is inactive, the server releases the license and allocates the license to the next user. The advantage is that the Agency is not required to purchase licenses that are not being used, which can result in approximately 25% savings in cost.

What is the Objective of PPI?

• PPI should not be used as the sole factor to ensure that the vendor can perform on a current project.

• Communicate to the vendors that the owner will purchase based on value (performance and price).

• Identify if a vendor has capability to perform.

• Encourage vendor to use and partner with the best people / best subs

Are Interviews Necessary?• Not all projects require the interview filter, such as small

or simple projects (roofing, mechanical, etc).

• The interview filter should be performed on any project that has high risk (political risk)

• The interview filter should not be skipped due to time constraints or for any other factors

• Projects that will require interviews may need to shortlist vendors (if there are too many vendors competing). Shortlisting will be based on all collected information.

63

Arizona State University 64

Key Personnel Interviews• The Client may interview the following individuals:

– Lead Project Manager (overall contact / will be involved on the project every day)– Site Superintendent / Technical Expert– (Key Money Decider and/or Costing Expert)

• All individuals must be available for interviews on the dates specified in the RFP. No substitutions will be allowed. If a team member is not present for the interview, they will jeopardize the team’s competitiveness.

• The client will actually “interview” each individual. This is not a “presentation”

• Goals:– Meet the critical personnel that are being assigned to the project– Identify if the personnel have experience and have thought about this project– Identify if the personnel can think ahead and minimize potential risks

Interview Format• Individuals will be interviewed separately (not as a group).

• No other individuals can be present during interviews. The individuals cannot bring any notes or handouts.

• Interview times will be approximately 15-25 minutes per individual

• A standard set of questions will be asked to each individual. The client has the option to clarify any responses.

• Questions will be non-technical

Goal: Minimize Risk

“I have no idea why I am here today”

“My boss called me last night and told me to show up for this interview”

“I did not participate at all in preparing our proposal”

“I am not currently employed by this company, but if we win this project, they will then hire me”

“I have never managed a project of this size/scope”

“There is no risk on this project”

Client Demonstrations• Software Projects may require end user demonstrations. • This is a high level demonstration (not a traditional demo).

The detailed/technical demo will be performed at a later stage.

• The purpose of this demonstration is to:– View an actual installed and operating system (that is similar)– Identify how well the end users can use the system– Identify the end users’ satisfaction with the product, system, installation, and services

• Prior to the demonstrations, the State will provide the Proposers with a detailed timeline and script of items that are to be demonstrated.

• The end user will be asked to demonstrate basic product or system functionality.

How to Clarify a PlanWhat is it / Why is it important?

• Period of time allotted before work begins to the entity doing the work:

– Present their project/service plan

– Set a plan for its delivery / clarify that their plan is accurate

– Identify the risks and issues that could cause the plan to deviate• Identify what you don’t know and when you will know it and

how the plan could change based upon what you discover• Set plans to minimize those risks from occurring• Address all the concerns and risks of the client

Importance of Pre Planning- University of Alberta• Bad news is really good news if found out during Pre-

Planning (Pre-Award / Clarification period)• Execute the project in advance of actually executing the project

• Ex: DB Balmoral Facility – Cyclotron• Highly sensitive schedule & budget• Formal pre-planning enabled the team to optimize the facility

and minimize surprises that could have driven other changes.
