Design-build : building South Carolina's transportation infrastructure (developing a design build contract)

The South Carolina Department of Transportation is committed to providing transportation services for the citizens of South Carolina through building and maintaining roads and bridges, providing mass transit services, implementing highway safety initiatives, and educating citizens about safety on the roadways. SCDOT's goal is to perform these tasks with its number one priority being safety and with a strong emphasis on efficiency. With the onset of new state legislation concerning the procurement of design-build construction contracts in South Carolina, further study of the process by which design-build projects are developed may be necessary.
