Define and elaborate Qualification-Based Selection and Best-Value Selection (in your own words).
Answer:

Expert Solution

Step 1

Qualification based selection:

Qualification Based Selection (QBS) of contractors represents a response to the ever-changing

demands of owners and the marketplace. More and more owners, public and private, are requesting and/or requiring additional services from their contractors. Owners want contractors to participate in a team environment, together with owners and their designers, to provide preconstruction services (in lieu of just estimating services), to prequalify subcontractors, to assist the governing agencies, and perform in other advisory capacities. In this new era of early and increased contractor involvement, many owners are willing to consider construction services as being in alignment

with architectural and engineering services – all part of a professional team and all selected through a Qualifications Based Selection process.

QBS may include other selection criteria such as:

• Experience and past performance of the firm

• Experience and past performance of assigned individuals

• Experience and past performance with desired delivery system

• Capacity to perform the work

• Financial strength and bonding capability

• Management plan, subcontractor relationships and technical capabilities

• Safety plan and safety record

• Quality assurance plan
