Many transportation departments use innovative contracting methods to reduce the costs of constructing facilities, accelerate
project completion schedules, manage project risks efficiently and to obtain greater certainty regarding future costs. Techniques
to identify, evaluate, avoid, and manage risks are critical in achieving this goal. MDOT Innovative Contracting Unit (ICU) currently
manages project risks based on project size and complexity, except for FHWA classified Major Projects ($500m+), for which
FHWA required risk management protocols are observed. MDOT ICU is seeking to research risk management best practices to
develop and formalize its project risk management procedures and template. The study will also improve the institutional
understanding of the importance, benefits, and practicality of risk management and provide guidance to educate and train staff to
implement the recommended best practices. Documenting the risk management best practices that have been effectively utilized
in Michigan, in other states or internationally for future use in Michigan will help MDOT better manage project risk to improve its
project delivery program. |
