What is the best way to deliver a project? It depends. Is the project scope driven, schedule driven, or budget driven? Do we need contractor input during the design phase? Do we want to control the design? What are the risks involved? How much time do we have before we need to break ground? Many factors should be considered before selecting a project delivery method. Each method has its own benefits and potential disadvantages, but ultimately it is in the agency’s best interest to have the option to choose. Over the past four years, OC Public Works has embraced Alternative Project Delivery Methods (APDM), including Job Order Contracting (JOC), Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), and Design-Build (DB). Session presenters will share their delivery method selection process, lessons learned, best practices, case studies, and how they took advantage of APDM to more efficiently deliver their Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Maintenance Improvement Program (MIP).
