Publisher's Synopsis

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.
