Alternative Procurement
The Lyles Construction Group welcomes the opportunity to join your agency in a Public-Private Partnership formatted to Design, Construct and Finance your fee-producing Infrastructure Project. Created in 1996, State Government Code 5956 creates opportunities for public agencies to partner with private enterprise to design, construct, operate, and finance infrastructure projects. The infrastructure must be "fee-producing", beyond this requirement, 5956 will allow our partnership significant flexibility in determining the approach which best suits your needs. Infrastructure Construction performed by the Lyles Construction Group includes: Water Irrigation; Water Banking; Drainage; Water Supply, treatment, and distribution; Sewage treatment, disposal, and water recycling; Sewer pipelines and pump stations; Flood Control Energy Energy or Power Production; Utilities Transportation Roads; Highways or bridges; Airports and runways; People Movers Environmental Refuse disposal; Environmental Remediation
As provided for in State Government Code 5956, the scope of our public-private partnership can be "to study, plan, design, construct, develop, finance, maintain, rebuild, improve, repair, or operate, or any combination thereof" your fee producing infrastructure. The scope will be tailored to fit your needs. The design-build approach will yield significant benefits to your agency. The design-build approach, led by a true contractor, will reduce costs, save time, and enhance the quality of the finished project. Unique to our design-build approach is the ability for the public agency to make the final design decisions, including equipment selection. We will keep you fully informed of the cost, schedule, and design implications as you make the critical final decisions. Project Financing through the Lyles Construction Group can be as short as the construction period, or as long as 35 years. Terms are flexible and will be designed to meet your requirements. Rates can be quite competitive with other financing options. The Lyles Construction Group concept offers a significant alternative to the conventional procurement options. We welcome your inquiries. Design-Build A significant feature of Government Code 5956 is the incorporation of the design-build process. For many public agencies, 5956 provides the only means of utilizing the design-build process. Design-Build can save time, money and produce a higher quality project. Other important benefits of Design-Build include: Single point responsibility
Early fix on cost
Flexibility to tailor scope to budget
Greater owner control over equipment selection
Design-Build achieves the above benefits by bringing the true-contractor, design-engineer and operator together. Together, we work towards achieving the agency's goal. The "unique perspective" that each party brings to the table is what makes the process work so successfully.
Victor Sanvido and Mark Konchar in their 1999 book titled "Selecting Project Delivery Systems" cite the following results from a Penn State University study of 351 building projects:Unit Costs of the Design-Build projects were 6.1% lower than those constructed by conventional Design-Bid-Build. (Level of Certainty 99%)
Delivery Speed for the Design-Build Projects were 33.5% faster than Design-Bid-Build. (Level of Certainty 88%)
The quality results of Design-Build exceeded Design-Bid-Build in all areas measured.
The potential cost savings of design-build for your infrastructure project could be well above the 6.1% average result of the building industry.
