Abstract:On November 17, 2009, the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Office of Real Estate Services sponsored a one-day peer exchange focusing on the experiences of several State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) with design-build contracting and the use of alternative contract procurement methods. The purpose of the peer exchange was threefold: • Provide opportunities for peers to share best practices and lessons learned in design-build contracting and project delivery; • Increase networking opportunities among Right-of-Way (ROW) professionals; and • Share knowledge on the ROW and utility acquisition processes of State DOTs. The Texas DOT (TxDOT) hosted the event at its Turnpike Office in Austin, TX. Participants consisted of: staff from FHWA Headquarters, the FHWA Texas Division Office, Colorado DOT, Florida DOT, Georgia DOT, Massachusetts DOT, Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA), Missouri DOT, Ohio DOT, South Carolina DOT, TxDOT, Utah DOT, Washington DOT, West Virginia DOT, Wisconsin DOT, the International Right of Way Association, and the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (See Appendix A for complete list of participants). Participants represented 13 State DOTs, including ROW directors, legal counsel, innovative contracting specialists, utility and railroad coordinators, and ROW project managers. Presentations on use of design-build contracts, with a ROW component, were given by the Texas, Utah, and Missouri DOTs.
