Through recent updates to California’s Public Contract Code, public agencies are being equipped with new tools to deliver major infrastructure projects through use of the progressive design-build (PDB) model. As more public agencies gain access to the legislative tools available to use PDB, we expect to see an increasing number of water projects undertaken and completed successfully under the PDB or other early contractor delivery methods.
In Nossaman’s California Water Views – 2024 Outlook, I examine the differences between PDB and fixed-price design-build (DB) projects as well as the benefits of and best practices for utilizing a PDB delivery model.
