  • Abstract:
    An alternative acquisition strategy receiving increased attention in US public sector markets is design-build contracting. A critical consideration during the planning of public sector design-build is how much control the owner (public sector agency) should maintain over project specifications. On one hand design-build (1313) is used to encourage innovation yet the other the owner is responsible to the public for the most economic solution. These two concepts are often at odds and therefore, some balance must be established between innovation and control when developing a request for proposal on public sector design-build projects. This paper discusses results of research conducted to address the issue of controlling the request for proposal for public sector design-build contracting. Decision criteria for appropriate innovation/control balance are identified and discussed in detail.
