Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 455: Alternative Technical Concepts for Contract Delivery Methods Transportation documents various methods by which agencies have successfully implemented alternative technical concepts (ATCs) during the highway contracting process. The report identifies methods that promote transparency and fairness, while at the same time protecting the industry's right to confidentiality. The U.S. Federal Highway Administration defines an ATC as "a request by a proposer to modify a contract requirement, specifically for that proposer's use in gaining competitive benefit during the bidding or proposal process ... [and] must provide a solution that is equal to or better than the owner's base design requirements in the invitation for bid or request for proposal document."--Publisher's note.

Download or read book Performance Contracting for Construction written by United States Department of Transportation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of America's transportation infrastructure is reaching the end of its design life and needs to be reconstructed. At the same time, traffic levels and the resulting congestion levels continue to increase steadily. These two factors combined pose a significant challenge to State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). To address this challenge, FHWA has been working with State DOTs and industry to develop a “toolbox” of potential solutions. One tool in this toolbox is performance contracting. Performance contracting is an approach where a private contractor is responsible for achieving a defined set of goals, and where performance goals are specified instead of methods. Using a performance contracting approach will allow owner agencies to define and communicate to construction contractors specifically what they and FHWA want to achieve in their construction projects. The construction contractors on performance contracts should share the risks and rewards as a project partner, and defined performance goals and measurement methodologies will provide a basis for applying incentives and disincentives. However, it must be stressed that for a performance contract to be successful, the contractor must be provided with flexibility on how to perform the work and the performance goals must be under the control/influence of the contractor. FHWA has been working over the past 15 years on evaluating alternative contracting procedures under the Special Experimental Projects No. 14 (SEP-14) program. These procedures, which include performance contracting, incentives/disincentives, and Best Value awards, have resulted in time/cost savings and improved contract management. FHWA anticipates that the use of these procedures will expand greatly in the future as a means of addressing current challenges. The purpose of this Guide is to provide States with processes and materials that they can use to accelerate the development of a performance contract solicitation package for construction contracts.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study developed a generic IDIQ contractive framework upon which MnDOT can produce its IDIQ contracting procedures based on this agency's policies, preferences, and applicable regulations. This report covers several aspects of this alternative contracting method, including successful contracting techniques and procedures, terminology in use by public transportation agencies, contract advertising and award practices, pricing methods, risk management issues, and effective contract administration practices. Besides benchmarking the state-of-practice of IDIQ contracting in federal and state transportation agencies, the report addresses three key aspects identified by the authors: mobilization cost payment, escalation of construction pricing on multi-year IDIQ contracts, and impact of IDIQ contracting on surety bonds. The study found that IDIQ contracting creates a capacity to expedite project delivery through an on-call contractor that can be mobilized and working in a much shorter period than traditional project delivery methods. It also found a number of distinct advantages for repetitive construction and maintenance projects including the ability to obligate unused fiscal year funding, incentivizing construction quality and economy of scale reductions in unit pricing. It also finds that once the IDIQ contract is awarded, the agency is able to utilize the contractor to furnish a number of preconstruction services in much the same manner as Construction Manager/General Contractor projects, which results in better pricing due to more constructable designs.

Download or read book Guidebook for Implementing Alternative Technical Concepts in All Types of Highway Project Delivery Methods written by Douglas D. Gransberg and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has been characterized by the pressing need to rapidly renew the nation's deteriorating infrastructure, which has driven the increased use of alternative contracting methods for transportation and other infrastructure projects. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 937: Guidebook for Implementing Alternative Technical Concepts in All Types of Highway Project Delivery Methods is designed to help guide alternative technical concepts (ATCs) in the state highway project delivery process. The ATC process--used with design-build highway project delivery--solicits design modification ideas offered by respondents during the bidding process. These modifications aim to encourage innovation and improve design requirements while giving the respondent a competitive advantage. The report is accompanied by an Excel-based ATC Implementation Toolkit and an associated publication, NCHRP Web-Only Document 277: Implementing Alternative Technical Concepts in All Types of Highway Project Delivery Methods.
