Design-bid-build has been the traditional project delivery method used by airports, but as the complexity of the airport construction projects has increased, along with the success of alternative delivery methods used in other large-scale transportation projects, airports are now also using a variety of alternative delivery methods. Alternative project delivery methods can provide cost savings, more efficient phasing of design and construction, and more efficient project risk allocation, as well as address lifecycle cost considerations. Large-scale, complex airport construction projects have the same issues as construction projects on a smaller scale, but they present a series of specialized legal issues. The use of alternative delivery methods also have their own set of legal and procurement issues especially for airports as public agencies. The legal issues that this digest will focus on are those causing most significant risks during planning, design, permitting, procurement, and construction. This digest addresses the legal issues that airport attorneys and staff working on large-scale, complex airport construction projects are likely to encounter and the potential options for addressing those issues. Individual sections cover: project delivery methods; selection process for a project delivery method; project funding; contract procurement; contract management; environment requirements and permitting; design and construction; insurance programs; dispute resolution; remediation of hazardous materials; project incentives and disincentives; project handover phase; and operation and maintenance phase.
