A Member's Viewpoint on Fixed-Price Delivery - Doug Wachsnicht, Goodwin Brothers Construction
The fixed-price design-build delivery method allows owners of water infrastructure to select design-builders that best fit the project budget, scope and schedule requirements. With a good understanding of these requirements in the procurement process, owners can achieve great success using fixed-price design-build.
The design presented as part of a proposal is often not the most cost- and schedule-efficient solution. In fact, many times the finished project bears little or no resemblance to the proposal’s design, costs and schedule. Flexibility is a key advantage of design-build and should be incorporated into the owner's procurement process at every opportunity, as it is what sets design-build apart from traditional design-bid-build.
