BACKGROUND
Recently, the State of California approved SB-991, expanding local agencies' Design-Build authority to utilize additional collaborative delivery methods such as Progressive Design-Build (PDB). PDB allows the public owner to select a design-builder based on qualifications and collaboratively progress through design development to establish a Guaranteed Maximum Price. This approach offers direct collaboration with the design-builder during the design and construction phases, facilitates early identification of construction-related risks, provides opportunities to shorten project schedules, and ensures a single point of responsibility for design and construction is borne by the design-builder.
To ensure the success of PDB, the Design Build Institute of America's best practice is to hire an Owner Advisor, especially for organizations new to Design-Build project delivery methods. Initially, two projects have been identified for PDB delivery: Ocean Outfalls Rehabilitation, Project No. J-137, and Laboratory Replacement at Plant No. 1, Project No. J-133.
