Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: A key recommendation of Transportation Research Board (TRB) Special Report 249, "Building Momentum for Change" (1996), is the formation of a Strategic Forum for Innovation in Highway Infrastructure. In 1997, TRB assembled a special steering committee to discuss the kinds of changes that might be beneficial and how they might be accomplished. In October the steering committee hosted a workshop in Irving, Texas, on Alternative Contracting Approaches. Funded by the Federal Highway Administration, this workshop offered an opportunity for candid discussion by a select group of 25 construction and construction-management contractors and senior state transportation officials. The focus was on Virginia's contracting for comprehensive highway maintenance and on Florida's experiments with several construction and rehabilitation contracting techniques. The public- and private-sector participants were eager to learn more about not only these innovative approaches but also how their fellow participants viewed such changes in practice.
