Project Spotlight: Northeast Water Purification Plant Expansion (TX)
The City of Houston, Texas, in association with four regional water authorities, is expanding its Northeast Water Purification Plant (NEWPP) from 80 mgd to 400 mgd, dramatically increasing its ability to support steady residential and commercial growth while reducing dependency on groundwater. The Houston Waterworks Team, a joint venture between CDM Smith and Jacobs Engineering, was awarded the contract through a competitive bidding process. Construction is currently underway on this 90-acre site, the largest progressive design-build project of its kind in the United States.

How Do You Achieve a High-Performing Team for Construction Management at-Risk (CMAR) Projects While Avoiding Off-Ramps?
Last month in working with a client to prepare for a collaborative-delivery project, they asked some interesting questions about how they can achieve a successful project with more certainty and predictability. This was not the first time this topic has been raised. Others have also expressed a desire for guidance. The good news is that across the board we are definitely seeing a significant increase in successful client/contractor experiences that result from working in a collaborative and transparent environment. The guidance provided below is part of the discussion that occurred on actions needed to achieve a successful project.
