Which of the following considerations would support the use of separate bid packages and a fast-track schedule?
Check the four that apply.
Fast-track scheduling involves overlapping design and construction by issuing separate bid packages (e.g., site work, foundations, structure). This allows construction to begin before the entire design is complete.
A . Cost: Fast-track can potentially reduce escalation and shorten time-related costs.
B . Schedule: Primary benefit---saves time by overlapping design and construction phases.
E . Phased construction: Necessary to allow portions of the work to begin early.
F . Multiple prime contractors: Often used with fast-track and separate bid packages.
C and D are incorrect:
C . Risk is typically increased in fast-track due to incomplete design during bidding.
D . Coordination is more complex, not easier, in a fast-track/multi-package approach.
