Updated: 8/18/2010

Design-build is a method of project delivery in which WSDOT executes a single contract with one entity (the Design-Builder) for design and construction services to provide a finished product.

Enabling Legislation

WSDOT's current design-build legislation is contained in the following RCWs:

RCW 47.20.780
RCW 47.20.785
House Bill 2874  (pdf 12kb)

The 2001 Washington State Legislature passed legislation that expanded WSDOT's design-build authority. The minimum project size for design-build is set at ten million dollars. The process will be revisited by April 2008. 

The 2006 Washington State Legislature passed legislation (House Bill 2874) that gives WSDOT the ability to conduct up to five design-build pilot projects on projects that cost between two and ten million dollars.
    

WSDOT-AGC-ACEC Team

WSDOT values input from its industry partners. A combined WSDOT-AGC-ACEC Design-Build Team was created to look into issues surrounding delivery of a design-build project.

The team's mission is to develop a design-build program in Washington State that offers a level playing field for competition and produces a superior product at a competitive price for both standard and mega projects.
