• Sommario/riassunto: 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 _x000d_ Design-Build for Water and Wastewater Projects was developed in collaboration with the Water Design-Build Council.
