Post-Construction Evaluation Practices for Highway Projects Delivered Using Alternative Contracting Methods
Alternative contracting methods (ACMs) capture the delivery methods that are not design-bid-build
(D-B-B), low bid, or traditional federal aid. Common ACMs used by state departments of
transportation (DOTs) include design-build (D-B), construction manager/general contractor
(CM/GC), progressive design-build (P-D-B), public-private partnerships (P3), and indefinite
delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ), which is also called job order contracting.

from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program,
investigates and documents DOT practices for evaluating the
