Module 23STEPS 15 & 16 Preconstruction Engineering and Design (PED) and Other Decision Documents Civil Works Orientation Course - FY 11
Objective: • Understand the process for execution of a PED agreement. • Understand what is the purpose of PED and what documents are completed in the PED phase.
Preconstruction Engineeringand Design • Currently cost-shared: • 75% - Federal • 25% - Non-Federal* • NEW!! In-kind credits allowed per Section 2003 WRDA 2007 Model PED agreements & checklist on disc *this is just a down payment – balance collected during construction
Preconstruction Engineeringand Design Agreement • There are models for: • Single Purpose Navigation & Flood Risk Management Only • PED Agreement Checklist to HQ RIT for certification - 30 days prior to DE signature • Similar to FCSA • HQUSACE approves all Other PED Agreements • No PED work or issuance of contract until Agreement executed • District Engineer executes approved agreements
Preconstruction Engineeringand Design Agreement Checklist • General information • Cost sharing summary • Funding history • Special conditions • Review requirements, Sponsor • and Corps
Purpose of PED • Complete the detailed engineering & technical studies and design needed to begin construction of the project recommended in the decision document. • Preparation of plans and specifications of first significant construction contract • (NEW!!) Section 2035 WRDA 07 Safety Assurance Review – Calls for independent review of flood and hurricane/storm projects if Chief of Engineers determines that it is necessary to assure public health, safety, and welfare.
Preconstruction Engineeringand Design • Starts after Division Engineer’s Transmittal Letter & execution of PED agreement • Ends with completion of first set of construction plans and specifications
Preconstruction Engineeringand Design • Usually requires about two years to complete • Usually overlaps with the end of the feasibility phase. • Must keep PED funds separate from feasibility review funds
Preconstruction Engineeringand Design • Major Documents in PED: • Plans and specifications (P&S) • Design Documentation Report (DDR) • Draft Project Partnership Agreement (PPA) • Limited Reevaluation Reports (LRR) - Primarily for required economic/environmental updates • Real Estate Design Memorandums
Preconstruction Engineeringand Design • Plans and specifications: • Form the technical portion of the contract documents • Used to solicit bids from private contractors • Approved at the District • Used to construct the project
PED Coordination Team • Co-chaired by Corps project manager and sponsors counterpart • Oversees issues related to PED • Scheduling • Work Products • Plans and Specifications • Contract Award and Modification • Other Related Activities
Other Documents • Other reports may be prepared during PED and/or other project phases for use as Decision Documents or Implementation Documents
Implementation Documents Any report prepared for the purpose of implementing a project in accordance with its authorization - O&M Manual - Detailed engineering reports - Plans & Specifications
Decision Document • Any report prepared for the purpose of : • obtaining project authorization, modification, or Washington level approval; • obtaining commitment of Federal funds for project implementation; or • obtaining approval to spend and receive money as a result of entering into an agreement.
Decision Documents • Obtaining project authorization, modification, or verification: • Reconnaissance Report* • Feasibility Report • Limited Reevaluation Reports** • General Reevaluation Reports (GRR)** • Post Authorization Change (Section 902) Report • Detailed Project Report* • Major Rehabilitation Report * Approval at MSC ** Approval at MSC if no additional Congressional action required
Decision Documents • Obtaining project authorization - modification: • Dam Safety Report • Design Deficiency Report • Dredged Material Management Plans* • Water Supply Reallocation Report * Approval at MSC
Other Decision Points • Reports in defense of budgetary decision(s) • Project Partnership Agreements • Credit Agreements • Memorandums of Agreement • Feasibility Cost Sharing Agreements • PED Cost Sharing Agreements • Water Supply Contracts
