Definitions


In addition to those definitions at OAR 731-005-0430 (Definitions), the following definitions shall apply to OARs 731-007-0340 (Alternative Contracting Methods — Purpose) to 731-007-0400 (Design/Build), unless the context requires otherwise:

(1)

Alternative Contracting Methods: Innovative techniques for obtaining Public Improvement Contracts, utilizing processes other than the traditional method of design-bid-build with award based solely on price (in which a final design is issued with formal Bid documents, construction services are obtained by sealed Bid awarded to the lowest Responsive, Responsible Bidder, and the project is built in accordance with those documents). In industry practice, such methods commonly include variations of Design/Build and Cost Plus Time forms of contracting, which are specifically addressed in these rules.

(2)

Design/Build: A form of contracting that results in the construction Contractor providing or obtaining specified design services, participates on the project team with ODOT, and manages both design and construction. In this form of Contract, a single Entity provides ODOT with all of the services necessary to both design and construct the project.

(3)

Cost Plus Time: A Bid process (also known as A plus B) where time is assigned a monetary value and is Bid along with the Work and materials.
