  1. CVE 4070 Construction Engineering Disaster Recovery Prof. Ralph V. Locurcio, PE

  2. Looking ahead… • Today… • Disaster Recovery Construction • Turn in Resume & Cover Letter • Tuesday… • Construction Tour • Thursday… • Project Organization & Quality • Review for test… study guide • Turn in Construction Tour Report • Tuesday (Sep21)… Test #1-The Basics

  3. Disaster Recovery • Special form of construction • Public welfare is primary objective • Speed of response is essential • Life safety • Public services • Requires public & private cooperation • Special contracting rules apply

  4. Disaster Scenarios… • Natural disasters • Hurricane • Floods – Tidal wave - Tsunami • Earthquake • Fire • Man-made disasters • Building collapse • Fire • Terrorist attack • Unknowns… train wreck, hazmat spill, etc.

  5. Electrical systems…

  6. Water systems…

  7. Debris…

  8. Key Facilities…

  9. Roads & Bridges…

  10. Ports & Harbors…

  11. Fire damage…

  12. Terrorist actions…

  13. Unknowns…

  14. Recovery Operations… • Speed is essential • Projects are spread out over wide area • Work sites not well defined • No plans & specs • Organization and prioritization are key • Scope limited to minimum operations • Quality judged on speed & quantity • Safety is paramount • Logistics may be very complicated • Contracts not well defined

  15. Recovery Operations… Phase I: Emergency Operations Phase II: Reconstruction

  16. Organization for recovery…

  17. Report from Gulf Oil Spill… • Centralized control is essential • Numerous gov’t agencies involved • Numerous non-govt agencies involved • Projects must be organized • Projects must be prioritized • Budget control is essential • Speed is essential • Media coverage increases pressures

  18. Project Prioritization…

  19. Construction Goals Differ… • Life saving & emergency operations • Remove obstacles & hazards to life • Enable key government functions • Operate hospitals & schools • Restore utilities; elec, water, sewer • Restore transportation; roads, bridges, rail • Enable logistical functions; food, fuel, ice • Clear debris • Restore normal operations • Restore public safety & confidence

  20. “Traditional” Contracts Contracting operations… • Letter contracts • Cost plus contracts • Unit price contracts • Indefinite quantity contracts • Design-build contracts • Design contracts • Fixed price contracts

  21. Construction contracts… • Lump-sum • Unit-price • Fixed-price with incentives • Cost-reimbursable • Time & materials (T&M) • Cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) • Cost-plus-incentive fee • Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Fixed Price Cost Plus

  22. Fixed price contracts

  23. Unit-price contract… • Modified form of “fixed-price” contract. • Based on “measurable” construction units. • Unit prices for tasks are fixed. • Contract scope is the total list of tasks. • Specifications govern quality. • Unspecified tasks must be negotiated. • Used for pipelines, roadways, tunneling, etc. • Quantities purchased may be not be limited. • Called “Indefinite Quantity” or IDQ contracts • Used when total scope is unknown.

  24. How do you measure?

  25. Porta-potty method… 10 ft 1 PP = 90 cu ft 3 ft 3 ft

  26. Fixed-price incentive contract… • Same as fixed-price • But… profit is based on performance • Incentive formula must be clearly specified in contract documents • May have price ceiling • Requires a performance “rating” • Requires close supervision to ensure contractor hits performance target

  27. Cost-reimbursable contracts…

  28. Time & materials contracts… • Contractor is paid his actual costs for labor & materials plus a 15% + mark-up for overhead • Contract documents define eligible costs such as labor categories, travel, rentals, permits, fees, other expenses… • Contractor must supply invoices for all expenses and certified time sheets for labor • Audit of costs & invoices is essential • Profit is specified 10% + mark-up of costs • Also called Cost-plus-percentage-of-cost +

  29. Time & materials contracts… • Used when scope is completely unknown and there is no time to design • Owner assumes all of the risk • Easy to write; difficult to administer • End price is unknown • Sometimes includes “upset” amount • Contractor can make substantial profit

  30. Example of T&M contract… Materials cost $40,000 (invoices) Labor cost $60,000 (time sheets) Sub-total $100,000 Overhead 15% $15,000 (in contract) Sub-total $115,000 Profit/Fee 10% $11,500 (in contract) Grand total $126,500

  31. Cost-plus-fixed-fee… • Actual costs paid for labor & materials • Overhead rate generally fixed • Fee is a “fixed” dollar amount that is specified in contract documents • Generally used when scope of work is known but no time to design • Contractor shares some risk • Provides owner some control

  32. Cost-plus-incentive-fee… • Similar to cost-plus-fixed-fee • Contractor is paid an additional fee or bonus if certain specified conditions are met, such as time, cost or satisfaction of user • No bonus if conditions not met • Incentive minimizes risk to owner • Intent is to “motivate” the contractor

  33. Project controls… • Contracts are limited • Increased supervision • Increased accounting • Decisions & finances will be audited

  34. Damage survey reports = design • Engineering analysis • Structural integrity • Mechanical, electrical & plumbing operations • Hard surfaces, paving & grounds • Architectural features • Construction take off • Cost & schedule estimating

  35. Contract inspection & supervision… • Verify quantity & time of operations • Manpower & equipment use • Material quality & quantity • Engineering sufficiency of work • Quality of work • Deviations from damage survey • Negotiate claims for additional work • Certification for occupancy

  36. Roles for civil engineers… • Public works… public safety & critical facility operations • Utilities operation & safety: water, elec, sewer, trash • Public & critical infrastructure buildings • Transportation: roads, hiways, bridges, rail • Landfill & environmental operations • Contract organization, operations & control • Public liaison & information • Damage assessment – design firms • Construction operations – construction firms • Estimators & schedulers • Equipment & trades operation & direction • Material & construction supplies • Records, documentation & funds control

  37. Skills you will need… • Engineering analysis • Construction take off & estimating • Work scheduling • Ordering & receiving • Negotiating • Common sense • Supervision & leadership

  38. Career Fair Florida Institute of Technology FALL CAREER FAIR 2010 Tuesday, October 5, 2010 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Clemente Center OPEN ONLY TO FLORIDA TECH STUDENTS & ALUMNI List of firms: http://www.fit.edu/career/Cfair2010_000.htm

  39.
