Project-Based Business Management Software for AEC Firms Client Relationship Management Project Resource Human Capital Management Management Management & Accounting & Procurement Mobile Field Service Management Financial Management & Analytics Business Intelligence (BI) • Document Management • Collaboration • Regulatory Compliance The paradigm for Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) firms is changing more rapidly than ever before. Sustained growth depends on flexibility, agility, and adaptation to changing business objectives at many levels or layers within an organization. As a result your business management software investment should enable business process flexibility, support organizational change, and foster rapid adaptation to evolving operational and market needs. It should not be a series of silos and bottlenecks, rather a unified ecosystem that provides role specific insight to anticipate rather than react to rapid change. To meet these demands, Sopris AEC software for Microsoft Dynamics provides agile project-based business management software that enables your firm to stay innovative with leading edge practices, thereby delivering insights that enable better decisions and guide adaptive processes that optimize results.

Where is payment coming from? Future public funds Toll or user revenue How legitimate is the projection?

Owner or contractor controlled insurance program Project specific excess policy or endorsement Not subject to exhaustion by other projects Joint defense by all design team members In place for project duration plus extended reporting Concessionaire default Bond or letter of credit Subcontractor default 9 Limitation of Liability on P3 Projects Incorporation of concession contract Concession typically trumps subconsultant contract Potential for unenforceable public indemnity Violates concept of sovereign immunity Arguments for LOL: Owner is ultimate beneficiary of project and thus it is unreasonable for DP to accept all risk Design fees are small in relation to risk Arguments against LOL on P3: Concession expected to take on absolute liability Concession period is longer than typical and DP/concessionaire has control over project Contract Administration and Long-Term Maintenance Engineering No form contracts Starting point is likely a state contract Replacement of public “resident engineer” or engineering department Beware of heightened contractual standard of care or typical duties Plan for personnel changes Quality as-built drawings BIM O&M plan 10 P3 Lessons Learned Public relations Transportation project failure Indiana Toll Road South Bay Expressway Inadequate usage compared with studies CLEM7 tunnel Brisbane, AU www.tollroadsnews.com Questions?
