Guidebook for Implementing Alternative Technical Concepts in All Types of Highway Project Delivery Methods
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.
