8 RISK ANALYSIS<br />
8.1 DEVELOPMENT, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION RISKS<br />
A range <strong>of</strong> risks exist some <strong>of</strong> which are listed below.<br />
All construction projects involve risk in their design, development <strong>and</strong> construction. These risks relate to a<br />
range <strong>of</strong> factors including the following principle elements:<br />
� Insufficient detail in design leading to scope creep to meet anticipated functional requirements -<br />
there is significant risk in a project failing to meet its functional program requirements through<br />
insufficient definition <strong>of</strong> these functional requirements <strong>and</strong> their translation into program design<br />
<strong>and</strong> performance specifications. This translates into longer timeframes for completion <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong>ten<br />
increases in capital costs as well as insufficiencies in design <strong>and</strong> layout <strong>of</strong> buildings;<br />
� Design errors <strong>and</strong> omissions – this is the risk associated with building features <strong>and</strong> requirements<br />
being either underrepresented or absent <strong>and</strong> necessitating attached design <strong>and</strong> construction<br />
solutions <strong>and</strong> potential cost additions in addition to usual project delays associated with such<br />
changes in scope. Additionally, there is an ultimate risk in any development project that the<br />
intended design is not fulfilled due the failure <strong>of</strong> the constructor to build the facility to design;<br />
� Procurement risks – these risks pertain to problems which arise between prospective contractors<br />
<strong>and</strong> the procurement agencies (e.g. the Municipality);<br />
� Construction delays – from a variety <strong>of</strong> potential sources related to overall management, individual<br />
trades, materials or unforeseen site-related matters; <strong>and</strong><br />
� Cost overruns – for a variety <strong>of</strong> reasons, there is a risk associated with the capital cost as estimated<br />
in the design stage.<br />
8.1.1 DESIGN, COST AND CONSTRUCTION RISKS MITIGATED<br />
1. The above risks are to be mitigated through the chosen delivery method for the facilities which are<br />
to be constructed for the Pan Am Games. Infrastructure Ontario is utilizing a process <strong>of</strong> Alternative<br />
Financing <strong>and</strong> Procurement (AFP) to engage the private sector in the design, development <strong>and</strong><br />
financing <strong>of</strong> games venues <strong>and</strong> to do so on the basis <strong>of</strong> a competitive bid process.<br />
