Design-Build for Water and Wastewater Projects

By PhD Holly Shorney-Darby

On its next capital construction project, would your water or wastewater utility like to achieve - Seven percent lower cost - Thirteen percent faster construction - Thirty-three percent faster overall schedule - Fifty percent less schedule growth? These are some of the attractive benefits many water and wastewater utilities enjoy through the use of design-build construction over traditional design-bid-build construction. This book provides a basic template of how to plan, procure, and execute a design-build project. Written for water and wastewater utility management, engineers, planners, city officials, utility policymakers, regulators, and design-build contractors, the book covers all topics: - History of design-build - Types of projects well suited for design-build - Steps to prepare for a design-build project - Procuring a design-builder - Executing design-build projects and performing acceptance tests - Bonding, insurance, and dispute resolution - Permitting and regulatory agency approvals- State laws regarding design-build

Design-Build for Water and Wastewater Projects was developed in collaboration with the Water Design-Build Council.
