Partnering Decides Whether Flexible Military Construction Can Work
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is preparing to ask a design-build team to begin work before anyone knows the final price. Progressive design-build (PDB) with other transaction authority (OTA) can deliver a usable facility sooner, but only if government and industry build a working partnership before design and price are settled.
The planned Multi-Domain Cyber and Intel Operations Center at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland shows the method in practice. The Corps programmed about $986 million for the project and plans to select one design-builder based on qualifications and experience. That team will refine the design and develop costs in an open-book process before the parties agree on a construction price.
