As the number and size of infrastructure projects continue to increase, while the qualified available workforce continues to decrease, contractors who traditionally identify as “self-performing” contractors find themselves having to make decisions on what scopes of work they ultimately need to self-perform for project success. This is especially true on the “mega-sized” projects. Collaborative delivery projects, such as construction management at-risk (CMAR) and progressive design-build (PDB), if approached correctly from the outset, allow self-performing contractors to concentrate on those packages required to maintain the project schedule, while ensuring a successful project by attracting the “best of the best” subcontractors to perform the other scopes of work.
Senators Push for a Vote on the Water Resources Development Act
Top senators from the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee are pushing both parties to bring the Water Resources Development Act to the floor for a vote before the Memorial Day recess. After the $25 billion WRDA rewrite was unanimously approved in committee last week, there is a bipartisan effort to get a vote on the legislation quickly.
