The design-and-build concept is a project delivery system that assumes single-source responsibility for both design and construction. Design-and-build projects are typically effective in achieving two goals: (1) early cost identification and (2) fast-track delivery. To be successful, the design-and-build team must have a record of similar terminal design and construction projects. Project experience will cross boundaries of size, complexity, geography, type of project, and scope of responsibility. The design-and-build team must know intermodal terminals and have staff capabilities in all professional disciplines needed for the project. For example the design-and-build team must be experienced in marine, railroad, truck, and air terminal operations and, at the same time, have a thorough knowledge of the requirements for equipment, paving, buildings, and process control systems. The right design-and-build team can achieve the bottom line--saving time and money on an intermodal terminal project.
