• Abstract:
  The purpose of this project was to evaluate the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) pilot program for design-build project delivery. Under legislation adopted in 2019, WisDOT was authorized to award up to six highway or bridge projects under one of three delivery methods: low-bid design build, best-value design build, or fixed-price design build. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Institute for Physical Infrastructure and Transportation (IPIT) research team interviewed alternative delivery program management staff from four peer states (Arkansas, Colorado, Maryland and Michigan). The pilot program presents several opportunities for WisDOT and its stakeholders. It allows WisDOT to develop and refine its policies and processes on a limited number of projects. Stakeholder outreach is particularly important when implementing an alternative delivery program.
