Progressive Design-Build Procurement - Contract/Agreement Presentation
By: WDBC Executive Director Mark Alpert
At the recent DBIA conference in Las Vegas, WDBC Executive Director Mark Alpert presented the approved WDBC/DBIA Contract/Agreement for water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This contract/agreement, initially developed by the WDBC, became part of the collaborative initiatives between the two organizations this year. The importance of this document is that industry members now have a standardized document for their use that reflects the “Best Practices” of the two organizations. Its availability clearly eliminates a lot of confusion in the industry with respect to terminology and practices, and will be accessible to industry owners through the WDBC website shortly. The presentation, found here, summarizes the contents of this work.
