• Abstract:
  This report contains a discussion of the alternate bidding process used on a highway project in Kansas.
  
  It discusses the background, bidding process, evaluation of the bids, and conclusions drawn from the
  
  experience. It also includes a customer survey and analysis of the bids submitted by contractors. The
  
  analysis of the bids received and the estimates made by Kansas Department of transportation (KDOT)
  
  show little difference in price, had KDOT selected the pavement type rather than let it as an alternate.
  
  The alternate bid process resulted in the agency receiving the least cost project. However, the objective
  
  of selecting surface type for the mainline pavement was not realized. The analysis also shows that
  
  had KDOT let the major work items such as surfacing, grading, and bridges, separately it may have
  
  realized additional savings. However, KDOT may have faced some challenges administering a project
  
  with multiple contractors.
