timely decision-making. Potential issues can be identified and addressed earlier, reducing
the likelihood of costly delays or disputes.
• PDB allows for iterative design and construction, enabling adjustments and improvements
throughout the project lifecycle.
• PDB mitigates risks by fostering collaboration and shared accountability among all project
stakeholders.
• Early input from the contractor helps identify potential construction challenges, cost-
saving opportunities, and allows for better planning and scheduling.
• SCF is committed to a close, collaborative partnership with the PDB Team to refine,
develop, design, and deliver the project.
The Scope of Services is further defined and provided as Exhibit A to this RFP. The Proposer shall
subcontract with other firms, if deemed necessary, to complete the tasks described in this RFP.
