Draft DBB OTA Flow Chart.pdf

This document is a visual workflow diagram illustrating the Draft Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain (DBB OT) contracting process for a federal construction project.

The process consists of twelve sequential phases spanning from initial qualification through project completion. Phase 2 begins with a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to finalize requirements and publish the solicitation. Phase 3 requires industry submission of Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) followed by government evaluation. Phase 4 involves a down-select where the government selects the best qualified offers and invites firms to pitch presentations. Phase 5 encompasses pitch presentations, meetings, Q&A sessions, and site visits, during which firms present risk-informed project alignment, concept solutions, design evaluation, and budget estimates at a Level 3 cost confidence. Phases 8-10 cover execution-ready integrated solutions, integrated schedule development, and award of the Other Transaction (OT) modification using MILCON funds with stipend awards. Preconstruction work (BCOES, permitting, early submittals, and site readiness) occurs concurrently. Phase 11 authorizes Phase 2 construction by receiving MILCON construction funding and issuing modification agreements with decision milestones and green light long lead item procurement. Phase 12 concludes with red zone and beneficial occupancy activities including punchlisting, red zone commissioning, and beneficial occupancy certification. The workflow designates phases 2-10 as Design & Development Activities and phases 11-12 as Construction & Closeout Activities.
