DesignBuildDoneRight.com Notes Partner Nancy Smith's Contributions To NCHRP Report On Design-Build Liability
Nossaman Infrastructure Partner Nancy Smith’s contributions to the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) report discussing the issue of liability in design-build projects was highlighted on DesignBuildDoneRight.com, a publication of the Design Build Institute of America (DBIA). The report—titled Liability of Design-Builders for Design, Construction and Acquisition Claims--outlines case law and legal precedent that underlie the transfer of liability in design-build projects. Eminent Domain and Valuation Partner Rick Rayl also contributed to the report. The report’s goal is to provide a useful tool for transportation agencies that are planning design-build procurements, drafting procurement and contract documents, administering contracts, and litigating tort, construction, and acquisition claims.
