Water Design-Build Council

Description

• The Water Design-Build Council (WDBC) is committed to addressing water infrastructure challenges in a manner that has a long-lasting and sustainable impact, and that is timely and cost-effective. To this end, we are encouraging the use of the design-build and construction management at-risk (CMAR) project delivery mechanisms for water and wastewater infrastructure as part of the recovery plan. Design-build and CMAR accelerate the speed of executing infrastructure projects. Over the last 15 years, design-build has proven to accelerate project schedules up to 30 percent, and most often results in lower project costs. Implementing design-build projects would also create thousands of needed jobs. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, for every new job added for local water and sewer facilities, it is estimated that 3.68 jobs are created.Historically, water infrastructure projects have employed the design-bid-build model, which entails two contracts one with an engineering firm to design the project, and another with a construction company to build it as designed. Design-build entails only one contract that between the owner and the design-builder, providing more scheduling flexibility and accountability. Design-build features three major distinguishing characteristics: Rapid construction start and faster project completion The ability to select the design-builder based on overall best value Single-point accountability for both design and construction
