CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2024​​ A panel consisting of an Owner, Contractors and Engineers will discuss insightful, tough, and sometimes awkward issues regarding effective teaming, collaboration, and integration. Topics will include: How are teaming decisions made? Why are agreements becoming more difficult to negotiate? What do your teaming partners need to improve? How can we manage the risk instead of just shifting it? Who should be responsible for liquidated damages? Can you rely on quantity estimates? Do early start packages really work? How does Progressive Design-Build change the conversation?

Progressive Design-Build (PDB) has seen expanded use and interest across the country. PDB uses primarily a qualifications-based selection, followed by a process whereby the Owner then “progresses” toward a design and contract price with the team. In this Design-Build Delivers Webinar, we’ll examine DBIA’s new PDB Deeper Dive document and take a closer look at the key characteristics of this approach and how to determine if PDB is right for a project. • Discuss characteristics common to all variations of design-build that are drivers to PDB success. • Understand key considerations in determining if PDB is right for you and/or your project. • Gain an understanding of the Validation Phase, a key distinguishing factor of PDB. • Hear recommended practices that drive successful PDB outcomes.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2024​​ This presentation will examine a recent restroom renovation project at DFW Airport, Terminal A in which off-site prefabrication was utilized as part of a design build delivery approach with the goal of reducing existing restroom downtime. The panel will include the lead architect for the project, the director of prefabrication, and a representative of the airport ownership team. We will recap the project, discuss the unique design approach of designing and implementing prefabricated elements in a secure airport terminal environment, and will review a series of lessons learned from the project. We will conclude with some key takeaways and guidelines for others wishing to explore off-site pre-fabrication in their own project delivery process.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2024 Join a candid discussion with leading Owner agencies as they look at significant topics affecting the national design-build and P3 markets in transportation. Panelists will include a diverse cross section of Owners with insights into the opportunities and challenges facing our industry today.

Similar to the Owners’ Forum format, but exclusively for industry practitioners, this session will discuss the most cutting-edge issues impacting our industry. The interactive format will encourage input from all attendees to ensure that multiple views and perspectives are heard, with the goal of learning from each other to advance design-build project delivery and to foster successful projects and success for all players on the team

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2024​​ Establishing early process and procedures can help facilitate the success of the project moving forward. Many Owners are making the transition from a Design-Bid-Build methodology/ideology to a Design-Build project delivery, from a low-bid practice to an integrative, collaborative contracting methodology. This paper explores best practices for the 'Procurement Team' to implement as part of a successful project delivery. After a project delivery method is selected, now comes the challenging part – establishing the team to deliver the project. For agencies in the early stages of using DB, how to set up the team, roles and responsibilities, process and procedures of how the procurement phase will be implemented and managed is critical. Design-Build can present many challenges starting in procurement phase, developing the RFQ, RFP and implementation starting with how different department work together, how decisions are made, the roles and responsibilities of the ‘Procurement Team” . Much attention is paid to project delivery selection…but establishing the ‘team’ is just as important in a projects success.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2024 What does it take to be part of an award-winning project/team? Hear first-hand from DBIA’s 2021 “Excellence in Transportation” and “Excellence in Aviation” award winners and an awards jury member, the magic behind the success. The Owner from the Nashville International Airport Concourse D and Terminal Wings project and the design-builder from the Crosstown Parkway Extension Design-Build project will discuss the aspects of the project’s success that drove them to submit it for an award, why the design-build model was beneficial for the team and the project, and lessons learned that others could use to leverage similar success.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2024​​ Large projects have become more and more challenging to deliver under the Design Build Delivery model. Learn how owners are assessing their programs and developing strategies in partnership with the industry to deliver these much-needed projects. Owners will share how they are re-evaluating risks on these projects regarding risk allocations and pre-work to help mitigate risks as well as their approach to segmentation or phasing improvements to make smaller projects. Input from industry is critical to ensure projects can be delivered effectively and efficiently where there is healthy competition and opportunities. Consideration will be made to add a contractor to the panel to discuss a particular owner’s approach and how the industry has helped provide input on owner’s that are re-assessing their approach to projects. Questions for the panel will be open to the audience but intent will be to understand risk concerns and the different approaches owners may take as well as contractors, designers as well as the sub-contractors that are so critical to project success. It is anticipated that the panel will consist of 3 DOT owners that will present their program approaches and how they are approaching large DB projects differently.
