Project Planning and Procurement

 

What law will apply to a particular project, entity, or issue?

Public entities, contractors and design professionals working on public works construction projects must understand and work within comprehensive public contracting statutes, city charters, regulations and case law that shape the planning and work on the project from inception until years after completion. The statutes are updated and revised nearly every year; and from time to time, entirely new “game changing” statutes or cases are decided. It is a challenge to stay current on the changing law, let alone apply it in the complex daily work of a construction project. Individual construction contracts often consist of multiple documents – plans, specifications, boilerplate – each having different authors. These legal and practical challenges are unique to public construction. This white paper will discuss project planning, selecting the contracting method, current issues in procurement of architectural, engineering and construction management services, and much more.
