Joint ("Extra") Call With Division 9

Joe Kovars and Division ("9 Specialty Trade Contractors and Suppliers") have invited us to participate in their monthly call in this month, June 15 (noon EDT), because they will be discussing integrated project delivery from the subcontractor standpoint. Here's a rough preliminary outline of their planned discussion:

I. Owner/General Contractor Perspective
A. Intro to IPD
B. Risk-sharing and profit-sharing features
C. Benefits from owner’s viewpoint
D. How the Owner/GC views the Trade Partner

II. Trade Partner (Subcontractor) Perspective
A. Benefits to Subcontractor
B. Detriments to Subcontractor
C. What is done differently from a traditional project?
D. Handling claims

III. Questions

And . . . they are looking for a volunteer from Division 4 to present on Section I. This would entail providing an introductory overview of IPD from the Owner/GC point of view, 10-15 min. Please contact me no later than Monday 6/6 if you are interested: first one to the post gets the glory!

Our regular Division 4 call will be at noon EDT, on June 28, 2011. Joaquin Hernandez is looking at the new Forum Data Base and he will educate us on what's there from a project delivery standpoint, how useful is it, and how do we get at it. You can struggle through tediously on your own to learn this, or tune in to Joaquin, and get up to speed in an hour.

Best to all,

Roland
