Fria’s first concern: If a response to an RFP does not follow the instructions necessary to get the job, how well will the team follow instructions during construction? After judging the responses and the information submitted, the book helps project owners through the interviewing process. Successful RFPs in Construction favors negotiated contracts rather than competitive bids, aligning with DBIA best practices that emphasize teamwork and owner involvement. Once a contract is signed, owners must collaborate with the selected construction team in the early stages of the project to save time and money, keep the project on schedule and on budget and produce the best possible results, the book says. There are also sections on improving materials selection, assisting consultants and other factors important to producing a high-quality project completed on time and within budget. Successful RFPs in Construction is a useful tool for project owners who want to improve the entire RFP process toward “design-build done right. “ Members can take advantage of a 10 percent discount off the $34 nonmember price at DBIA’s online bookstore.
