Design-build for water and wastewater projects

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. Design–Build for Water and Wastewater Projects 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.
