3 Members Sought for Washington's Project Review Committee

The State of Washington's Capital Projects Advisory Review Board (CPARB) is seeking letters of interest from individuals knowledgeable in the use of Design-Build and GC/CM (General Contractor/Construction Manager) under RCW 39.10 to serve on the Project Review Committee (PRC).

Constituencies:  The position would represent the following constituencies:

• 1 Owner - General Public
• 1 Construction Trades Labor
• 1 General Contractor

Deadline:  Letters of interest must be submitted by April 30, 2012.  The three positions on the PRC will be reviewed by CPARB for appointment at its May 10, 2012 meeting. 

Purpose of PRC:  The PRC meets to review the applications of public agencies seeking permission to use either Design-Build or GC/CM (General Contractor/Construction Manager) for specific public works projects.  The PRC reviews applications to ensure that the project meets the criteria outlined in chapter 39.10 RCW and that the agency has sufficient, qualified, and knowledgeable staff (or consultants) to help them with the project.

In addition, for agencies who have successfully completed a Design-Build project, they may apply to the PRC for a three year certification for using Design-Build without seeking specific project approval from the PRC.  Likewise, for agencies who have successfully completed a GC/CM project, they may apply to the PRC for the three year certification.
