The Long Beach Court Building: Myths and Facts

We’re gearing up for the lunch program on Friday, April 26 at 12:15 in the Mediterranean Room at the St. Regis Dana Point for our presentation from Clark Construction, the Design-Builder on the Long Beach Court Building, the first social infrastructure project in the United States procured under the principles of Performance-Based Infrastructure (PBI) contracting.

There has been some negative press on the project and there was a recent post by the California Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) that dispels many of the misperceptions and myths of the Long Beach Court Building.  Our program will also include an update of the press this project is getting from the state budget debates and some of the misconceptions press and politicians are picking up on.

The main issues that are dispelled and discussed in the AOC post include:

• The project is actually not over budget;
• The project followed the best industry standards when determining the “Value-for-Money” analysis;
• The project is not “the $2.3 Billion Courthouse” as it is termed by its detractors. 

We are looking forward to discussing the successes of the Project with the team that made them happen.
