While GDC will maintain oversight over all elements of the project, MPA Delivery Partners will provide project management support in key areas, including interface risk management, cost and schedule assurance, safety and quality management, and innovation and value engineering. The joint venture will also provide construction management support in the form of field management and safety; quality and compliance support; and coordinate among all stakeholders, contractors, and consultants to ensure that GDC requirements are met.
According to GDC, the Delivery Partner model “has a proven track record” internationally; it has enabled public agencies, such as Metrolinx in Ontario, “to successfully deliver large-scale infrastructure projects,” and was used to deliver the 2012 London Olympics development and legacy works “ahead of schedule and under budget.”
