Project Performance Rating Model And Ipd Implementation Guideline Metric For Water And Wastewater Treatment Plant Projects, Elie G. Andary
Project Performance Rating Model And Ipd Implementation Guideline Metric For Water And Wastewater Treatment Plant Projects, Elie G. Andary
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The public nature of water and wastewater construction capital projects has rendered Design-Bid-Build (DBB) as the delivery method of choice for such projects over the past years. Shortcomings inherent to DBB have had a negative effect on the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of these projects. Numerous studies have argued that Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) improves the delivery performance of DBB projects. Project delivery performance is, however, a complex concept that is not easily measured. It involves several criteria with many factors that need to be accounted for. Water and wastewater construction projects do not have well-established overall performance rating models, …

Integrated project delivery (IPD) method has recently emerged as an alternative to traditional delivery methods. It has the potential to overcome inefficiencies of traditional delivery methods by enhancing collaboration among project participants. Information and communication technology (ICT) facilitates IPD by effective management, processing and communication of information within and among organizations. While the benefits of IPD, and the role of ICT in realizing them, have been generally acknowledged, the US public construction sector is very slow in adopting IPD. The reasons are - lack of experience and inadequate understanding of IPD in public owner as confirmed by the results of …
