EXPERIENCES OF FEDERAL AGENCIES WITH THE DESIGN-BUILD APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION NOTICE The Federal Construction Council (FCC) is a continuing activity of the Building Research Board of the National Research Council (NRC). The purpose of the FCC is to promote continuing cooperation among the sponsoring federal agencies and between the agencies and other elements of the building community in order to advance building science and technology--particularly with regard to the design, construction, and operation of federal facilities. Currently, 18 agencies sponsor the FCC: Department of the Air Force, Office of the Civil Engineer Department of the Air Force, Air National Guard Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers Department of the Army, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation Department of Energy, Office of Project and Facilities Management Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Department of State, Office of Foreign Buildings Operations Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Construction Management General Services Administration, Public Buildings Service National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Facilities Engineering Office National Institute of Standards and Technology, Building and Fire Research Laboratory National Endowment for the Arts, Design Arts Program National Science Foundation, Structural Systems and Construction Processes Program Smithsonian Institution, Office of Facilities Service U.S. Information Agency, Voice of America U.S. Public Health Service, Office of Management U.S. Postal Service, Facilities Department. As part of its activities, the FCC periodically publishes reports like this one that have been prepared by committees of government employees. Since these committees are not appointed by the NRC, they do not make recommendations, and their reports are not reviewed and approved in accordance with usual NRC procedures. Consequently, the reports are considered FCC publications rather than NRC publications. For further information on the FCC program or FCC reports, please write to: Executive Secretary, Federal Construction Council, Building Research Board, 2101 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20418.

EXPERIENCES OF FEDERAL AGENCIES WITH THE DESIGN-BUILD APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION PREFACE This report presents the results of a survey conducted by the Federal Construction Council (FCC) Consulting Committee on Cost Engineering to gather information on the experiences of federal agencies with the design-build approach to the procurement of facilities. The committee believes the report contains interesting and useful information that will be of value to federal agencies as they consider whether and how to use the design-build approach. The committee wishes to note that a large measure of the credit for the report is due the many agency professionals who took the time to fill out--or provide information for--the committee's questionnaire. Unfortunately, the committee does not know the names of many of those who contributed to the effort, so it cannot acknowledge everyone deserving thanks. However, the committee would like to express appreciation to those whose names it does have: Thomas Anglim, Department of Veterans Affairs; R. Gelpe, National Aeronautics and Space Administration; Frank Karner and Curt Smith, General Services Administration; Daniel Duncan and Bob Maki, U.S. Army; David Sponn, U.S. Postal Service; Elbert Tschoepe, U.S. Air Force; and William York, Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
