<br />e <br /> <br />tit <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. Compressed schedules due to administrative or contract delays <br />. Delays in permitting <br />. Delays due to adverse conditions on the river <br /> <br />These problems can be mitigated through constant communication between the engineer and contractor <br />to creatively schedule deliverables around the work sequence so that plans are available to the contractor <br />when he needs to do the specific work. For instance, grading plans are need early in the work sequence, <br />while restoration plans are not needed until late in the work sequence. This kind of creative scheduling <br />requires that the contractor be aware of what is intended in the design, while the engineer is familiar with <br />the contractor's work sequence and his needs. <br /> <br />Opportunities can be created through close interaction between the design and construction teams. One <br />suggestion that can be made is to have several of the constructors work with the design team on the <br />design and production of construction plans and have one or more of the designers in the field helping the <br />constructors to layout and execute the work. Constructors that are familiar with the design and designers <br />that are familiar with the construction process will result in increased project efficiency and changes in <br />design that improve the end product. <br /> <br />Success in a design/build stream restoration project is pretty straightforward. It requires good <br />communication; a willingness to work together and share responsibilities; the close attention of <br />experienced staff to anticipate problems, constraints, and opportunities; and strategies and tactics to <br />minimize delays and avoid cost overruns, as well as exploit circumstances and situations that result in a <br />superior product for the clienVowner. <br />
