Abstract:During June 2012, record amounts of rainfall in the Duluth area of northeastern Minnesota brought about a 500-year flood event that caused more than $17.8 million in damage to public infrastructure across the state. Swollen rivers and flash floods washed away or damaged several bridges and rendered large sections of roadway impassable, including a primary road on the Fond du Lac Reservation that was essential for access to homes and emergency services. With Fond du Lac Reservation residents needing this route restored as soon as possible, the Federal Highway Administration’s Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFLHD) developed an innovative project deployment solution using the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) method, which saved time and money in repairing and building a new bridge on this vital road.
