Chapter 3: Project Methods and General Timelines

Permissible project delivery methods

Only three project delivery methods are permissible with the School Constructions Assistance Program (SCAP):  

  • Design-Bid-Build (DBB) 
  • General Contractor/Construction Management (GC/CM) 
  • Progressive Design-Build (PDB) 

There are various ways of undertaking a construction project at K-12 schools, but currently only three procurement methods that can be accommodated by the School Construction Assistance program (see Chapter 2, School Construction Assistance Program Eligibility). They are:

  • Design-Bid-Build (DBB) 
  • General Contractor/Construction Management (GC/CM) 
  • Progressive Design-Build (PDB) 

School districts should consult their local district county coordinator, as well as RCW 28A.335.190 to ensure it meets compliance on bid procedures.
