Abstract

The author discusses the traditional procurement method for construction contracts that the SCDOT obtains which is the Design-Bid-Build method wherein the project is designed, bid, and constructed in separate, consecutive steps and the alternative delivery method is known as the Design-Build method of procurement. The Design-Build method of project procurement affords both the owner (SCOOT) and the contractor greater flexibility in how the project is pursued.
