Selecting and Working with Architects and Contractors

By Shawn Evans, AIA The process of developing a tribal museum requires many partners. Among the most critical are the architectural firm and contracting company who will collaborate with the tribe in the development and realization of the community’s vision. This webinar will provide clarity into what may seem to be an intimidating and expert-driven process and aims to give your community representatives a solid foundation from which to begin these important relationships. We will discuss how to determine the ideal relationships that balance your needs and capacity with your wants and ambitions. We will outline what to look for in these partners and discuss common procurement strategies, contracts, and fees for architectural services. The construction industry has changed substantially in recent decades, offering numerous approaches that can provide great benefit to Indian Country. Attendees will learn the differences between general contractors and construction managers as well as the pros and cons of the more traditional design-bid-build process as compared with the newer integrated design-build approaches. The session will conclude with a group discussion of procurement processes specific to the cohort of tribes and how to overcome any challenges these processes may present.
