The guide—a complete update of the previous edition—discusses the roles, responsibilities, requirements, and limits of authority of participants in the design and construction process, highlighting concepts and practices that are valuable to each in achieving project goals and objectives. This Manual of Practice presents several key themes, including the value of clearly defining and assigning responsibilities, the importance of teamwork, the need for clear contractual provisions, strategies for good communication, the owner's selection process for other team members, the potential benefits associated with various project delivery systems, and procedures for managing design and construction. Although this guide is written primarily with traditional design-bid-build (DBB) projects in mind, it also highlights areas in which alternative forms of project delivery, such as design-build, may shift project responsibilities and risk to different participants. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eowner's role and requirements; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eproject delivery systems; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eproject team; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecoordination and communication; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eselecting the design professional; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eagreement for professional services; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ealternative studies and project impacts; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eplanning and managing design; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edesign discipline coordination; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eguidelines for design activities; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprecontract planning for construction; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econstruction team; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprocedures for selecting the constructor; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econstruction contract; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eplanning and managing construction; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econstruction contract documentation and submittals; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econstruction contract administration; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoperation and maintenance; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003equality assurance and quality control; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecomputer technology and project delivery; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epeer review; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003erisk, liability, and avoiding conflict; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epartnering; and \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003evalue engineering. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMOP 73 will be useful to owners, design professionals, and constructors interested in enhancing the quality of constructed projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Society of Civil Engineers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030383575280,"sku":"9780784411896","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780784411896","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
