This document discusses using price component selection to procure complex construction projects. It provides four case studies that formulate comparative prices using different combinations of price components, such as fees, direct costs, contingencies, and preliminary prices. The document emphasizes early team involvement and joint development to reduce uncertainties and costs. It also recommends additional cost management measures like audits and market testing for prices. While price component selection provides benefits, the document notes it also introduces challenges and may not be suitable for all projects.
A Lump Sum Contract is a legal contract where the contractor promises to complete the whole project at a pre-agreed price. Here the focus is on the completion of the whole project and not on the smaller tasks.

Various procurement/construction delivery methods exist to provide alternatives as to how risks and responsibilities are allocated for a project and how key factors such as time and price are addressed.
Traditional Delivery Method:
Design-Bid-Build
- Stipulated Price
- Cost Plus
- Unit Price
Contemporary Delivery Methods:
- Construction Management (not-at-risk / at-risk)

Renewable Energy Auctions in the EU: Final findings AURES projectLeonardo ENERGY
Auctions, as a market-based and competitive mechanism, are on the verge of becoming a predominant feature in support policies for renewable energy in Europe. They have a great potential to significantly improve the performance of the European renewable electricity support, and many national renewable energy policies will within the nearest future require a reform to ensure the development.
This webinar presents the main findings of AURES project, notably the proposals for improving the current support policies for electricity from renewable energy sources through competitive market measures, with a special focus on cost-efficiency.

11. A concrete dam can be assumed to be trapezoidal in section having a top width of 2 m and bottom width of 10 m. Its height is 12 m and the upstream face has a batter of 1: 10. Give an analysis of the stability of the dam for the base section for overturning and sliding in the full reservoir condition assuming no free-board allowance but allowing for uplift pressures. Assume uplift intensity factor ast 100%. Also determine the compressive stresses at the toe and the heel, and major principal and shear stress developed at the toe. Assume weight of concrete to be 24 kN/m³, unit shear strength of concrete

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Additional cost management measures
(open books process)
Final stage competitors are subjected to financial audits where the level of
costs of realised projects can be assessed to serve as a benchmark.
The proponents are expected to include their pricing bases in their tenders for
additional auditing and to serve as benchmarks.
Major purchases of the project are to be jointly subjected to competitive
bidding later and, at the minimum, the prices are to be market-tested.
An independent third-party estimator is involved to assess the
appropriateness of the target outturn cost and the cost items it consists of.
A financial auditor is involved to verify costs incurred and financial
management in general (financial systems, reporting and invoicing).
The owner’s budget guiding the joint development is based on two estimates
completed independently and is made strict compared to the general cost level.
The owner has the right to terminate the project for convenience, but the
owner has to pay a fair compensation for all services carried out by then.

Early team involvement and joint development:
When?
For complex projects involving a lot of uncertainties
Project type Unique, the like of which have never or very rarely
been implemented
Stakeholders Many key stakeholders with conflicting needs that are
difficult to engage with multiple proponents
Technology Requires new processes or unique application of familiar
methods e.g. due to experimental construction
Construction work Major engineering difficulties can be expected and
duration of work is hard to forecast
Risk
identification
Risks and their impacts cannot be determined and
dealing with risks requires collaboration between actors
during construction

Lessons learned
Experiences from the use of price component selection have been highly
positive: other benefits overrule possible challenges
Aim at a comprehensive comparative price may lead to the same doubts that
have been found problematic in pure price competition
The use price components may make procurement more challenging, unless
the contents of the components have been clearly defined
The comparison of tenders is challenging and the owner often has to work to
make the tenders commensurate before deriving genuinely comparable prices
Price component selection is not expected to be the answer to all situations
and projects: it is for challenging projects requiring innovative approaches
The practice should be combined with the principles of transparency of
information (open books practice) including external auditors and estimators
An emphasis given to the creation of collaborative, trustful relationships among
the team members to make the joint development effort more effective
