Alternative Construction Contracting Mechanisms for Transportation Projects in the US Northeast Region
The primary goal of this project is to increase stakeholder education and support wider adoption of the Design Build (DB) contracting method by transportation owners in New Jersey and the Northeast region. DB has been utilized widely across the construction sector over the last 20 years, with notable benefits on schedule performance and design innovation. In the state of New Jersey, DB became available through the “Design-Build Construction Procurement Act” on April 2021. OBJECTIVE: The intended outcome is a comprehensive report and presentation that can guide transportation agencies and bidders in New Jerseyy through the DB method, differences and challenges across states, and steps to implement and increase DB efficiency in their organizations through changes in procurement processes, stipend allocations, selection processes or request for proposal (RFP) requirements.
