DESIGN-BUILD EXPERIENCE Merrick is a leader in the design-build arena for DoD clients. Beginning with our first design-build project at FE Warren AFB in 1997, Merrick has spent the past 15 years perfecting our processes and procedures to ensure successful design-build projects. During that time, Merrick has designed projects with a construction value of over $300 million. We have worked with multiple contractors and are experts in developing design packages that can be built efficiently and economically while retaining high quality. As evidence of our ability, Merrick was tasked by AFCEE to develop a DesignBuild handbook for use by AFCEE project managers. This handbook outlined RFP development; solicitation, evaluation, and award; final design and construction; and closeout procedures. Our design-build experience ranges from $1 million renovation projects to $100 million highly visible mission critical projects with varying levels of complexity. We have worked with small and large business contractors to execute successful design-build contracts. Table 1 shows a partial listing of past design-build projects. Design-Build Project

TECHNICAL APPROACH TO DESIGN-BUILD Merrick’s 14 years of involvement in design-build projects with various construction contractors has allowed us to develop best practices to ensure successful project delivery. These include: Participation of team members in DBIA and other professional organizations to stay current on design-build issues and methodologies, latest codes and standards, and innovations in our field. Developing long-term, multiple project relationships with construction contractors to create synergy and trust in executing design build projects. Understanding that the construction contractor who holds the prime contract with the owner is our client. Providing the best value technical solutions that meet the intent of the RFP while staying within budget and on schedule. Working together as a team to provide the owner a positive experience as well as a successful project. Utilizing the strengths of the individual Design Build Team members: the construction contractor providing constructability reviews and continual construction cost estimating during design, and the design team providing timely responses to questions during construction. Participating in review and observation during construction in a timely manner. Utilizing proven quality assurance procedures that include a design basis review, a discipline coordination review, an independent technical review, and constructability reviews throughout the design process with the construction contractor.
Design-Build Philosophy Merrick understands that our client is the prime contract holder, and that we must uphold the intent of the design-build RFP within the proposed budget. We have had the most success when the Construction Team has been continuously and integrally involved with the Design Team right from the start. Merrick understands the importance of meeting design deadlines and resolving issues in a timely manner; i.e., we understand how one minor structural change can affect hours/days of changes in the mechanical/electrical designs. Our intent is to foster an integrated team focus and provide consistency by sharing knowledge and by continually evaluating project issues. Merrick’s experience shows that to ensure the success of the design-build process, the team must be organized to maximize horizontal communications between all parties who have related roles and responsibilities. By communicating horizontally, time is saved and efficiency increased. Additionally, it is imperative that approvals and final direction move vertically, since these represent key, final decisions. Our intent is for the design-build team to continually conduct comprehensive design and constructability reviews throughout the design process. The purpose of these reviews is to eliminate ambiguity, identify details that will not meet performance or quality objectives, and assist the construction contractor in monitoring construction costs. By eliminating ambiguity, we gain clarity ensuring the documents are constructible within budget, and fully maintain the design intent of the RFP. These reviews also assist in coordinating the design among the various disciplines. Merrick continuously strives to improve through transparency in design and construction by building consensus between design and construction members of the Design-Build Team, and when possible, by collaborating with subcontractors to gain valuable experience through knowledge sharing, thereby increasing the understanding amongst the entire Design-Build Team. Through this type of continuous process improvement, our Team can execute the design-build project with better submittals that are approved the first time and with fewer delays in the field.

Communication Communication and interaction within the whole team remains critical in the successful construction and timely completion of a design-build project. The full and open communication established during the design phase addresses the many challenges that typically arise during construction. Our communication during construction speeds resolution of those challenges, allowing the Construction Team to focus more on the construction activities related to schedule, quality and coordination. To that end, the Merrick design team will remain intact during the construction phases.
Execution Merrick’s execution approach includes working as a team in collaboration with the construction contractor to provide a high quality, technically sound design that will result in a successful construction project that will be a source of pride to all.
