Design-Build is now law in Ohio.
This new law dramatically alters how public agencies contract for design and construction services in the state. HB 153 constitutes the first significant reform of Ohio construction laws in the past 132 years.
The law eliminates the requirement that public entities must use the multiple-prime project delivery to deliver public projects. Instead, HB 153 allows all state agencies, institutions of higher learning, counties, municipalities, townships, school districts or other political subdivisions as well as any other public agency, authority, board, commission, instrumentality or special purpose district to use the type of project delivery method they prefer for a project, including design-build.
At this luncheon a panel of qualified representatives described their experience, including strengths and weaknesses, with the role of Criteria Architect. Panelist’s included a representative from the State Architect’s office, an architect and an attorney, who have worked with this role on design/build projects in Ohio. They addressed questions about how the Criteria Architect role functions in successful projects, and what their clients should expect.
Representatives from Design Build Institute of America were available to discuss tools that can assist owners and contractors with successfully implementing their first design/build project.
