Abstract:

Many state transportation agencies authorized by their state legislature use alternative project-delivery methods to save time and money on highway projects. One of the principal alternative techniques for road improvements is design-build. The objective of this paper is to identify states with design-build statutory authority and effective design-build techniques for utility relocation. A survey conducted as part of this paper, identified thirty states with design-build authority and five states exhibiting extensive experience with design-build projects in highway corridors. The survey identified five common techniques and case studies from Florida and North Carolina demonstrate that the design-build approach successfully relocated utilities in the highway right-of-way.
