This report describes school design and construction delivery processes used by the School Board of Brevard County (Cocoa, Florida) that help optimize value, avoid problems, and eliminate the cost of maintaining a large facility staff. The project phases are examined from project definition through design to construction. Project delivery processes are analyzed including the traditional competitive bid, construction management at risk, and design-build, followed by discussions on using continuing service and performance contracts in school building projects. Delivery processes available to Florida school districts are compared and contrasted. Additionally addressed is school board involvement in approving school building contracting and expenditures. Answers to frequently asked questions on school construction contracting conclude the paper. (GR)
