Stakeholder Input in Design-Build Highway Construction
The purpose of this paper is to detail how the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is collecting and incorporating stakeholder input into the Design-Build (D-B) process. The highway construction sector is adding D-B to its delivery method toolbox. To. accommodate the use of D-B for highway project delivery, changes are being made in areas ranging from conceptual design to procurement and inspection. Perhaps the two biggest D-B development obstacles are 1) the customary (or statutory) use of low bid; and 2) states' concern that they have full responsibility for design approval and construction administration. Procedural changes are affecting how stakeholders define themselves and their contributions. As the highway construction community moves into the D-B environment, concerns are being raised that D-B might create conflicts of interest for designers, exclude smaller contractors, or result in lower quality projects. To mitigate these concerns, the stakeholders involved at each stage of the project lifecycle must contribute to the definition of the D-B process. Successful transition to a new delivery process requires careful planning and diligent integration of stakeholder concerns.
