Abstract:

Over the past decade, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway ; Administration (MDOT SHA) has implemented Alternative Project Delivery (APD) methods ; in a number of transportation projects. While these innovative practices have produced ; significant schedule and cost improvements, the potential benefits have not been fully achieved. ; This research identified the barriers and solutions to improve the APD implementation process ; at MDOT SHA. The study was based on structured interviews and empirical analysis of cost and ; time performance of DB projects that have been executed over the past 15 years. Among the ; results include the high correlation between efficient communication and higher project ; success and satisfaction. Additionally, the data analysis showed that many issues in APD ; projects stem from a lack of knowledge and a poor mindset regarding the transition from the ; traditional delivery method of Design Bid Build (DBB) to an APD method. However, the data ; suggests that overall project satisfaction with APD projects versus DBB projects is higher at 3.8 ; out of 5 vs. 3.4 out of 5, respectively. While there was a higher satisfaction for APD projects, ; there was also a much larger variance in the APD satisfaction compared to DBB which ; suggests that there is room for improvement with APD methods.
