Course Description:  Public construction projects are risky. But if you’ve got a good contract, you won’t have any problems – right? Well, not exactly. Sometimes bad things happen to good contracts. But what makes a good contract, and what are some of the causes of problem projects? More importantly, how can you reduce the risks to your project? 

Mike will outline key foundations for a good public works construction contract as well as important foundations for a good project. Having a good contract and effectively managing the contract and project are both critical for the success of your public works construction projects.

At the end of the Webinar, students will be able to:
  • List different project delivery methods for public works projects;
  • Describe the effective use of bid protection tools;
  • Identify key risk management tools;
  • Differentiate between pre-qualification and responsibility;

  • Outline key features of a contractor performance evaluation program;
