May 27, 2004 A poorly planned Design Build project can have disastrous consequences. The process is complex, and up-front planning is required.

May 4, 2004 Mohave has cancelled a number of contracts issued in 1999 and early 2000 due to technical errors in the wording in the Requests for Proposals. Although it is believed these do not represent critical flaws, Mohave has decided that canceling the contracts awarded under these solicitations early and rebidding as necessary is in the best interest of our members. New solicitations will be reissued for the replacement of some of the contracts while other contracts will be reviewed for possible replacement.
