In real estate, the mantra “location, location, location” means choosing the wrong site for a development could cost you dearly later. In construction, the same can be said for document control.

Joint ventures (JVs) are strategic business agreements between two or more firms to create a new entity for a specific pursuit. In a fully integrated JV, the companies involved share all risks, profits, losses, assets, and liabilities.
Wicks Law (Currently being changed)
Wicks Law requires that government agencies hire four separate contractors for general construction, plumbing, electrical work, and heating and ventilation. As a result, design-build is generally not allowed.
In December 2019, the governor signed the “New York City Public Works Investment Act” to permit several city agencies to use two-step design-build contracts. They include the Department of Design and Construction, Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Transportation, Department of Parks and Recreation, Health and Hospitals Corporation, School Construction Authority and Housing Authority.
Since publication of the 2021 Design-Build Progress Report, the City successfully advocated for and received a five-year extension of the PWIA from the State. In addition, the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) was authorized to use design-build. The City recommends further modifying the PWIA to allow more flexibility in structuring design-build procurements to shrink procurement schedules, maximize collaboration between the City and proposing teams, and control costs. The City recommends that legislation permit a single-step RFP process (as opposed to a two-step process) referred to as progressive Design-build (PDB).
State, county, municipality, or other public bodies may award contracts to erect, construct, alter, or repair buildings pursuant to any of the following collaborative delivery methods:
A governing body may use the construction management at-risk delivery method for construction of a public improvement if the governing body determines it is in the public’s best interest and does not duplicate any services normally offered by an architect or engineer.
Design-build is authorized for public improvements. The agency must select from a list of not fewer than three firms in the procurement process.
DEQ Guidance Document
Design-build can be used with the written approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services, or the Director’s designee, when those projects are constructed for a state agency or by an act of the legislature.
The Oklahoma DEQ-Water Resources Board has issued a specific Project Alternative Delivery Methods Guidance (Aug 2018) for the use with the SRD.
The Public Improvement Alternative Contracting method enables an agency to use innovative techniques and processes to procure public improvement projects. Examples of contracts that use this method include:
Commonwealth agencies are authorized to use design-build, subject to the Separations Act requiring separate prime contracts for plumbing, heating, ventilating, and electrical work.
Construction management at-risk and design-build are authorized for projects over $5 million if they are in the best interest of the state.
(1) The following project delivery methods are authorized for procurements relating to infrastructure facilities:
(a) design-bid-build
(b) construction management at-risk
(c) operations and maintenance
(d) design-build
(e) design-build-operate-maintain
(f) design-build-finance-operate-maintain
In addition, the board and state engineer may approve any combination of design, construction, finance, and services for operations and maintenance of an infrastructure facility.
Any purchasing agency may enter into design-build contracts for public improvements. The agency shall establish and publish procedures for the solicitation and award of such contracts.
Contractual arrangements for construction delivery methods other than the competitive bid method, such as, but not limited to, the construction manager method, the construction manager at-risk method, and the design-build method, or for remodeling and maintenance, may be awarded by a request for proposals process as provided in subsection (d).
A governmental entity may use the construction manager-at-risk method in selecting a general contractor for the construction, rehabilitation, alteration, or repair of a facility only as provided by this subchapter.
A governmental entity may use the design-build method for the construction, rehabilitation, alteration, or repair of a civil works project but are limited in the number of projects allowed per year based on population size (Sec. 2269.354).
Cities, counties, and local taxing units may use design-build and construction manager/general contractor construction contracting methods.
Design-build is authorized for use by the Department of Buildings and General Services.
Construction may be procured only by competitive sealed bidding, except that competitive negotiation may be used by any public body on a fixed price design-build basis or construction management basis as provided in Chapter 43.1 (§ 2.2-4378 et seq.)
A public body may apply for certification to use the design-build or general contractor/construction manager contracting procedure, or both.
Subject to the requirements in RCW 39.10.250, 39.10.270, or 39.10.280, public bodies may utilize the design-build procedure, including progressive design-build, for public works projects in which the total project cost is over two million dollars and where:
(a) The construction activities are highly specialized and a design-build approach is critical in developing the construction methodology; or
(b) The projects selected provide opportunity for greater innovation or efficiencies between the designer and the builder; or
(c) Significant savings in project delivery time would be realized.
All state departments, agencies, authorities, quasi-public corporations, and all political subdivisions, including cities, counties, boards of education, and public service districts are authorized to use design-build.
The Wisconsin Building Commission is authorized to use alternative contracting practices when it is in the best interest of the state.
W.S. § 16-6.10-1001 and 16-6-701 – 708

Design-build is not currently allowed for water projects.
All state agencies are authorized to use design-build and CMAR.

Each other agency must adopt rules or ordinances for the award of design-build contracts. Municipalities, political subdivisions, school districts, and school boards shall award design-build contracts by the use of a competitive proposal selection process as described in this subsection, or by the use of a qualifications-based selection process pursuant to subsections (3), (4), and (5) for entering into a contract whereby the selected firm will, subsequent to competitive negotiations, establish a guaranteed maximum price and guaranteed completion date. If the procuring agency elects the option of qualifications-based selection, during the selection of the design-build firm the procuring agency shall employ or retain a licensed design professional appropriate to the project to serve as the agency’s representative.
This subsection expressly allows contracts for construction management services, design-build contracts, continuation contracts based on unit prices, and any other contract arrangement with a private sector contractor permitted by any applicable municipal or county ordinance, by district resolution, or by state law.
N.M.S.A. § 13-1-119.1

(C. ) (pending before the Legislature as this bill) and those procedures; and
(2) The contracting unit shall, for each public project or projects under this act, make a determination based on the timeliness of the project or projects that it is in the best interest of the public to enter into a design-build contract to complete the public project or projects.
Under S-865, government bodies, including school districts, municipalities, counties and state entities, may enter into a public-private partnership agreement with a private organization, which would assume the financial and administrative responsibility for the development, construction, reconstruction, repair, alteration, improvement, extension, operation, and maintenance of a government-related project that is financed in whole by the private sector organization.
Miss. Code Ann. § 31-7-13
State agencies may use design-build or dual-phase design-build for capital construction projects. They must prove that these methods satisfy the public need better than design-bid-build in that it (a) saves time or cost and (b) that the size and type of the project is suitable for design-build.
N.H. Rev. Stat § 21-I:80
