To conserve taxpayer money, many governmental agencies use a low-bid process for design and construction services. The Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) Design-Bid-Build process falls in this category. However, a low-bid approach does not guarantee that a project will meet expectations of cost, quality, and on-time delivery. FDOT has found that alternative contracting approaches, including A+B, Design Build, Incentive/Disincentive, No Excuse Bonus, and Lump Sum contracting, have shown benefits such as decreased project schedule, increased job quality, and improved on-time delivery. |
