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
