Alternative Project Delivery Methods For Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Military Construction Projects

Abstract

Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) currently employs design build and design-bid-build project delivery methods for military construction projects in support of U.S. military administrative, operational, and training priorities. Few studies have been conducted regarding the cost, schedule, and quality impacts of integrating other types of delivery systems into NAVFAC business processes. This report finds that adding the early contractor involvement (ECI) delivery method would reduce construction timelines and provide superior quality in comparison to both design-build and design-bid-build. The results of this paper are intended to encourage NAVFAC design and construction officials to expand the use of ECI throughout the organization by incorporating the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers version of ECI with modifications specific to how NAVFAC provides services to U.S. Navy systems commands (SYSCOMs), service branch installation commands, and other Department of Defense agencies.
