This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes the procurement of design and construction services different from the procurement of goods and services? Construction projects tend to be bigger, more expensive, more complex, and often more challenging than other procurements. In this timely new book, author John Adler outlines the design and construction procurement process step by step. He captures the procurement approaches for design and construction that have dominated the industry during the past two decades, including Design-Build, Construction Manager/General Contractor, and Public-Private Partnerships. John explores these and other approaches from practical and public procurement best practice perspectives, examining the inherent advantages and disadvantages of each approach and capturing recommended policies and procedures. Topics covered include: • The most common project risks and how responsibility for those risks is allocated through design and construction contracts • Steps in the project planning process, including capital planning, project management, budgeting processes, and financing tools for construction projects • Construction project delivery methods, including the traditional Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, Construction Manager at Risk, Job Order Contracting, and Public-Private Partnerships • Qualifications-based selection for design and architectural services and the administration of design contracts • How to select a construction contractor • Contract administration for construction projects • An overview of social, environmental, and economic issues in design and construction Contracting for Design and Construction Services in the Public Sector is an easy and entertaining read for public procurement practitioners, ranging from entry-level practitioners to seasoned professionals and managers. It’s an important book for public sector project management, construction, and design professionals, as well as businesses wishing to market construction and design services to state and local governments.

Download or read book Public Service Logic written by Stephen Osborne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based upon and extends the theoretical and empirical work of the author over the last decade. It integrates material deriving from his previous conceptual and empirical work in this field, together with new empirical evidence from emerging research. Public Service Logic challenges the product-dominant assumptions of the New Public Management (NPM) about the nature and management of public service delivery. Whilst the NPM has led to some important developments in public management, it has also had significant limitations and weaknesses. The book presents an alternative to this, as a framework for the future delivery and reform of public services globally. It draws upon the extant literature in the field of service management to argue for a Public Service Logic (PSL) for the delivery of public services. This situates public service delivery within the vibrant and influential field of service-dominant research and theory. It argues that effective public service management requires both that these services are understood as services not as products and that, consequently, public service management requires a focus on value creation as its over-arching rationale. The book presents a major new framework of value creation for public service delivery as a basis for public service reform, explores the role of service managers and staff and of citizens and service users in this value creation process, and evaluates the implications of this new framework for both the strategic and operational management of public service delivery, their performance management and the development and innovation of new forms of public services. It will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of public management and public administration, as well as to policy makers and public service managers.
