The $490-million Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse project in Long Beach, Calif., employed fast-track design-build, led by an international group of investors and builders. The owner—the state of California's Judicial Council, Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC)—selected a finance team led by France's Meridiam Infrastructure, working with its local development company, Long Beach Judicial Partners. Capital was provided by a consortium of Canadian, European and Japanese banks.

新法院取代功能deficient 35-year-old building nearby. Components of the new, 545,000-sq-ft facility include 31 courtrooms, 105,000 sq ft of leasable office and retail space, and seismic upgrades to an existing parking garage. The L-shaped building opened last summer, after a 26-month construction schedule.

The project is the first infrastructure building in the U.S. to be completed under a performance-based infrastructure approach, according to project officials. PBI uses a public-private partnership not only to fund design and construction but also for long-term operations and maintenance, provided by a private contractor—in this case, Johnson Controls.

PBI合同意味着州和AOC不花任何钱：他们的付款才开始，直到建筑物及其占用人士令人满意。该州保留对建筑物和现场的全部所有权，并每年偿还资本成本。新利18备用官网登录合同包括35年的运营和维护费用。

The PBI agreement provided better value to the state and shifted all risk to the private-sector partners, says Clifford Ham, principal architect for AOC in California. "It also allowed us to expand within the building, should we need to, and hand over maintenance and operation for less expense than the state could provide."

He adds that the performance aspect of the contract was especially important to AOC and the state of California. "The private sector must maintain the building in a way that works for us. And we don't have to pay them if it doesn't."

Materials for the building were globally sourced. Portland, Ore.-based Benson Industries installed the unitized curtain wall using glass from Minnesota and aluminum extrusions from Korea, with assembly in China and Mexico. Quebec's Ebenisterie Beaubois provided courtroom millwork, with hardwood veneers from Indianapolis.

洛杉矶开发工业公司（Development Industries Inc.）对该项目进行了质量控制的监督，包括商店图纸，细节，制造，运输和最终安装。开发行业总裁洛里·吉德里（Lori Guidry）表示，一个大型国际设计建设团队的存在意味着“对质量细节的关注比我们习惯的更多。更多的利益相关者意味着更多地关注一切。”

汉姆说，法院项目的施工时间表很短，“长期前景”。“国际PBI方面意味着与大多数项目相比，对其进行了更好的审查和检查。”新利18备用网址
