This book was released on 2020 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The use of alternative contracting methods (ACMs) has accelerated the delivery of highway design and construction projects. These changes came about through efforts of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and state agencies over the last 30 years. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 939: Guidebooks for Post-Award Contract Administration for Highway Projects Delivered Using Alternative Contracting Methods, Volume 3: Research Overview provides the necessary methods and tools to help state agencies better administer Design-Build (D-B) and construction manager-general contractor (CM-GC) contracts on highway construction projects. This Research Report documents the rigorous process followed to produce these two Guidebooks. Vol. 1, on design-build delivery, and Vol. 2, on construction manager-general contractor delivery, are also available."--

Download or read book Contract Management Systems written by Jack Sternbach and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1990 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to administrators, contract officers, and others interested in using consulting firms to manage a transportation agency's work activities -- ranging from a single project to a complete spectrum of work. Information is provided on various aspects of contract management systems, including examples of use of each aspect in several agencies. An increasing workload coupled with reduced staff size have caused state highway agencies to turn to private enterprise to accomplish work that has traditionally been done in-house. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes various aspects of the use of consultants to manage a highway agency's work and gives specific examples of use of each aspect in several agencies.

Download or read book Construction Manager at risk Project Delivery for Highway Programs written by Douglas D. Gransberg and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2010 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 402: Construction Manager-at-Risk Project Delivery for Highway Programs explores current methods in which state departments of transportation and other public engineering agencies are applying construction manager-at-risk (CMR) project delivery to their construction projects. CMR project delivery is an integrated team approach to the planning, design, and construction of a highway project, to help control schedule and budget, and to help ensure quality for the project owner. The team consists of the owner; the designer, who might be an in-house engineer; and the at-risk construction manager. The goal of this project delivery method is to engage at-risk construction expertise early in the design process to enhance constructability, manage risk, and facilitate concurrent execution of design and construction without the owner relinquishing control over the details of design as it would in a design-build project.
Download or read book Determination of Contract Time for Highway Construction Projects written by Zohar J. Herbsman and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to highway administrators; design, construction, and specification engineers; project schedulers; and highway construction contractors. The synthesis describes the state of the practice with respect to procedures used throughout the United States and other countries to determine highway construction contract time, with emphasis on new methods in use. Transportation agencies must set reasonable times for completion of construction projects. Factors to be considered in determining contract time include materials, equipment, labor, cost, and constraints such as weather, traffic conditions, utilities location, and user convenience. This report of the Transportation Research Board covers the still pertinent procedures from NCHRP Synthesis 79: Contract Time Determination (e. g., critical path methods, linear scheduling, bar charts) as well as new methods in use (e.g., A + B methods, lane rental, flexible time-to- start). In addition to information on various methods to determine contract time, information on issues related to implementing procedures for contract time determination, from both agency and contractor perspective, is included.

Download or read book Guide for Consultant Contracting written by American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. Preconstruction Engineering Management Technical Committee and published by AASHTO. This book was released on 2008 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of engineering consultants by state transportation agencies continues to be important in providing the appropriate solutions to transportation needs. This publication replaces the Guide for Contracting, Selecting and Managing Consultants in Preconstruction Engineering, published by AASHTO in 1996. In order to assess current practices, questionnaires were developed for both state and consultant practitioners. The responses showed significant growth in the volume of work done by consultants and in the range of services provided by consultants. The results of these surveys, along with the collective experience and expertise of the technical committee membership, were used to restructure much of the guide and to update and expand the discussion of current practices for the effective use of consultants.
Download or read book Effective Implementation of the Design build Delivery System on Transportation Projects written by Awad S. Hanna and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of design-build project delivery systems today is popular for delivering commercial, industrial, and institutional construction projects and is increasingly used on transportation projects. While some states have used design-build to deliver transportation projects for over a decade, others have little to no experience with this method and have not yet established any legislation to use design-build. Design-build has been shown to shorten the duration of a project as compared to the design-bid-build traditional delivery method, together with increasing cost certainty and without sacrificing quality. While these benefits make design-build a very attractive delivery system, its implementation is not always as easy. This report combines the knowledge from existing literature as well as Departments of Transportation (DOTs) from around the United States familiar with design-build to form an overview of the entire implementation process including: passing legislation, choosing appropriate projects, overcoming the barriers specific to design-build, selecting the best design-build team, and conditions for successful implementation. By being aware of the barriers to implementing design-build and how to best deal with them, DOTs can use this delivery method effectively, taking advantage of its benefits.
