New public sector design-build statutes and regulations are being enacted on a regular and widespread basis across the country. Aspen's new Design-Build for the Public Sector is the industry's only resource focusing exclusively on design-build issues in the public sector, with reliable guidance from industry experts on projects involving: * Correctional facilities * Transportation projects * Water and wastewater projects * Community Impact projects * Educational facilities * and Quasi-governmental projects, including convention centers and stadiums. Design-Build for the Public Sector anticipates and answers the widest variety of important questions in this complex area, including: * What are the unique procurement issues associated with design-build in the public sector? * What contracts are being used by public agencies, and what are some of the unique risks associated with each segment of the public market? * What are the unique statutory and regulatory issues associated with each segment of the public design-build market? * What are the major contracting issues associated with each segment of the public design-build market? * What are some creative ways to bond and deal with insurance in this market? * How do financing options (design-build-operate, design-build-operate-maintain, etc.) and privatization opportunities play a role in the market, and what are the issues associated with these options? * What are the roles of the public sector owner's consultants? From procurement to performance to dispute resolution, Design-Build for the Public Sector illuminates the obstacles and opportunities that arise each step of the way. Table of Contents 1.
