Session Date Time Speaker 3A – DCC’s Use of Alternate Project Delivery Methods Thursday, May 28, 2015 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Melanie Pouliot Traditionally, construction projects have been delivered using a Design-Bid-Build (DBB) approach. While this project delivery method has proven to work, it seems like, over the last few years, there’s never been such a big push from both the industry and the owners to find better ways to deliver projects. In this informative session, we will describe alternative project delivery methods that have been used on some of our major projects, including Modified Design-Build, Construction Management and Public-Private-Partnerships sharing our positives and negatives experiences so that you can gain a better understanding of those methods. In addition, we will share results of some of our analysis when comparing similar projects that were delivered using a DBB approach and an alternative delivery method. Melanie Pouliot is currently a technical specialist in procurement with Defence Construction Canada (DCC). Prior to joining the public sector, she worked in the private sector as an engineer, managing projects and writing specifications and technical reports. Melanie has been with DCC since 2007, first with their Construction Services service line and has now been with the Contract Services service line since 2009. Up to 2013, she was leading a team that was completing procurement plans for the Department of National Defence’s capital infrastructure projects for projects over $5 million. Melanie is now leading the procurement of a data center project that will be delivered as a Public-Private-Partnership following that Design-Build-Operate-Finance-Maintain model in addition to working on DCC procurement policies and procedures.
