A RESOLUTION ADOPTING DESIGN -BUILD CONTRACT PROCEDURES /GUIDELINES
TO BE USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE PROCEDURES GOVERNING THE
TRADITIONAL COMPETITIVE SEALED BID PROCESS FOR PROCURING
DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS:
That the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors hereby adopts design -build contract
procedures /guidelines for use as an alternative to the procedures governing the competitive sealed bid
process for procuring development of construction projects, as follows:
WHEREAS, while emphasizing that the competitive sealed bid process is the preferred
method of construction procurement in the Commonwealth, Virginia Code § 2.2 -4308 authorizes
local governments to enter into a contract for construction on a fixed price or not -to- exceed price
design -build basis, so long as the local government complies with certain requirements, including
adopting design -build procedures /guidelines consistent with those promulgated by the Secretary of
Administration; and
WHEREAS, in doing so, the Virginia General Assembly recognized the need to provide
alternatives in the procurement of public infrastructure and government facilities within the
Commonwealth that serve a public need and purpose; and
WHEREAS, the design -build contracting process helps minimize project risk for the project
owner, and shortens the delivery schedule by providing for an overlap of the design phase and
construction phase of a project; and
WHEREAS, Pittsylvania County wishes to adopt design -build contract procedures to
maximize its flexibility in procuring construction of public facilities in a manner consistent with
Virginia law; and
WHEREAS, the design -build contract procedures proposed for Pittsylvania County's use are
attached hereto as Exhibit "A;" and
WHEREAS, Virginia law authorizes local governments to adopt the procedures by
ordinance or resolution.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:
That the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors hereby adopts, effectively immediately,
the design -build contract procedures /guidelines, attached as Exhibit "A," for use as an alternative to
the procedures governing the competitive sealed bid process for procuring development of
construction projects.
