New Project Delivery Methods

Starting May 1, 2015, the Revolving Loan Section (RLS) will be allowing three new delivery methods (Construction Management At-Risk, Progressive Design-Build, and Fixed-Price Design-Build) in addition to the traditional Design-Bid-Build for the State Revolving Fund and the Drinking Water Revolving Fund programs.  Guidance material, including an overview of each method and a Frequently Asked Questions document, is available on the RLS website (Forms and Guidance).  As these methods include additional requirements, we highly encourage discussions with DEQ RLS and District staff early in the planning stage to ensure an eligible, approvable project is being bid.  It is important for the applicant to evaluate each method thoroughly to decide which is the best fit for the project.   Please contact your project manager or call 517-284-5433 for more information.
