California water agencies have turned to innovative delivery methods to meet the challenges of climate resilience, cost optimization, risk mitigation and schedule certainty. This session will explore how alternative delivery approaches—such as progressive design-build (PDB), construction manager/general contractor (CM/GC), and public-private partnerships (P3)—are helping to transform some of California’s signature water projects. Key case studies include East County Advanced Water Purification Joint Powers Authority’s $1 billion regional advanced water treatment and recycled water program and Metropolitan Water District’s System Resilience Projects.
