Program

Although Progressive Design-Build (PDB) is gaining traction within the transportation industry for its collaborative approach and ability to streamline projects, it remains underutilized — largely due to ambiguity and legislation limiting its use in some states. This presentation offers AEC professionals a crash course on PDB best practices to remain competitive, minimize risk and reap the rewards of this delivery method. Presentation topics:
• Understanding Progressive Design-Build with Scott A. Churilla, JD, FDBIA: A summary of PDB best practices from selection to implementation
• Delivering the best solutions through designing-to-budget vs. budgeting-to-design with Pat McGriff, PE, DBIA: Cost-saving solutions for practitioners and examples of how PDB enabled the Superior/Lane JV team to save FDOT money on its $1B Westshore Interchange project in Tampa
• Accelerating your schedule through concurrent phases with David Nardon, DBIA: How PDB allowed Superior to complete the emergency repairs on Florida’s Sanibel Causeway in just 15 days – nearly two weeks ahead of schedule
• When and why Owners choose PDB and how to be their best partner with Shailendra G. Patel, PE, FDBIA, who will also discuss when and why an Owner would select PDB and what Owners should seek in a partner.
