Welcome to Arnon Bazemore's AE Senior Thesis e-Portfolio
Thesis Research
Research Tool #1 "C-2I-DS-2I" Interview Questionnaire
Integrated Delivery Systems Interest Indicator
Participating Contracting Entities:
Ryan Companies US, Inc. (completed questionnaire)
Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. (completed questionnaire)
Centex Construction Company (completed questionnaire)
Barton Malow Company (completed questionnaire)
Research Tool #2 "Integrated Delivery Systems Research"
The integrated delivery models researched for this thesis are Public-Private-Partnerships, Build-Operate-Transfer Models and Design-Build-Operate-Maintain Methods. Research will be geared toward analyzing the current delivery method used for the project conditions. Information obtained from evaluation will be applied to the project development conditions of the Sears Centre. Sources will include infrastructure projects, medical and business park projects and etc.

Research Tool #3 "Ice-Rink Analysis Research"
Ice-rink resesrch will be analyzed for best practices and procedures in facilities operations. Due to the fact that majority of the premise for the Sears Centre operations focuses on ice-rink operatations, information will focus on obtaining cost maximizing strategies for Value Engineering Asssements.
