What is Design-Build

An alternative project delivery method to traditional design-bid-build

Primarily a construction contract that includes:

– Design

– Utility coordination and relocation

May also include:

– Right-of-way acquisition

– Obtaining environmental permits

A single contract

– fixed price

– fixed schedule

What we can do…our design-build legislative authority

Texas Administrative code (TAC) Rule 9.150 refers to

Texas Transportation Code (TTC) Chapter 223.242(d-1)

Subchapter F:

– Limits 3 Design-Build projects executed per Fiscal

Year

Cost



Design-Build Cost

– >$150M

Project Development

– Project has not advanced beyond final schematic

Status and complexity of:

– Utility coordination and relocation

– Right of way acquisition

– Obtaining environmental permits

11



Complexity

– Would the project benefit from innovative design-

construction methodologies early in the

conceptual/schematic design phase?

– Would the project benefit from designer-contractor

integration to reduce coordination challenges?

Site Conditions

– How well are Site Conditions known? (geotechnical/

soil conditions, hazardous materials, utilities)

Alternative Delivery Support Tool

– Completed

– Documents that the project is eligible for Design-Build
