Abstract | In 2009, the city of Detroit proposed a $500.5 million bond referendum to stem the declining enrollment in Detroit Public Schools (DPS) that mirrored the decades-long decline in the city's population. Proposal S was passed in November to fund the construction of 8 new schools, the renovation of 10 more, and the improvement of information technology and security infrastructure district-wide. This funding would help the district reshape a shrinking school system while strategically allocating resources to the schools and their communities. The bond language challenged DPS to maximize the financial resources within a compressed delivery schedule. To help achieve program goals, DPS challenged the joint-venture team to ensure consistency and continuity across all projects through the development of enhanced specifications and the bridging documents that served as the foundation of the modified design-build delivery method, thereby communicating the district's design intent for programs, systems, and finishes. This article discusses how a modified design-build delivery method helped Detroit Public School to maximize financial resources within a compressed delivery schedule. (ERIC). |
