SUMMARY:TX Webinar 4 – Collaborative Project Delivery in Texas: Expanding Access\, Empowering Growth
DESCRIPTION:As water infrastructure projects evolve\, water utilities are turning to collaborative delivery methods like design-build and progressive design-build (PDB) for greater efficiency\, cost control\, and risk management. Unlike traditional approaches\, these methods engage all stakeholders early for better alignment and outcomes. This webinar offers insight into collaborative delivery and the benefits it can offer to water infrastructure projects of all sizes and configurations. \nHighlights\n\nCollaborative Delivery Overview\nCollaborative Delivery Methods\nSelecting the Right Project\nProcurement Fundamentals\nPreparing for a Successful Project\nFuture of Design-Build in Texas\n\nWho Should Attend\nThose who should consider attending include mayors\, city managers\, water/wastewater utility managers and/or staff\, public works directors and/or staff\, municipal officials\, and regional water authority representatives of any Texas community under 100\,000 in population.\nWhen\nThursday\, May 14\, 2026\, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm CT \nNote: This webinar will be repeated on June 11. \nWhy Attend\nTexas cities are managing increasingly complex water and wastewater projects\, yet many remain excluded from design-build authority based solely on population thresholds. This webinar is designed for city leaders and staff who already have the capacity to manage large capital projects and would like access to infrastructure delivery tools that better reflect today’s realities. Attendees will gain practical insights\, share on-the-ground challenges with peer cities\, and help shape a growing coalition focused on equitable\, accountable infrastructure policy. \nCost\nFree for all attendees \nA Teams link will be sent to all registered attendees in your confirmation email. Please check your spam folder and quarantine filters. You can also download a PDF ticket after registration. Please look for this on the screen immediately after registering.
