The past decade has been characterized by the pressing need to rapidly renew the nation's deteriorating infrastructure, which has driven the increased use of alternative contracting methods for transportation and other infrastructure projects. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 937: Guidebook for Implementing Alternative Technical Concepts in All Types of Highway Project Delivery Methods is designed to help guide alternative technical concepts (ATCs) in the state highway project delivery process. The ATC process--used with design-build highway project delivery--solicits design modification ideas offered by respondents during the bidding process. These modifications aim to encourage innovation and improve design requirements while giving the respondent a competitive advantage. The report is accompanied by an Excel-based ATC Implementation Toolkit and an associated publication, NCHRP Web-Only Document 277: Implementing Alternative Technical Concepts in All Types of Highway Project Delivery Methods.
"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 560: Guide to Contracting ITS Projects provides guidance on the procurement of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), including variable message signs, traffic detectors, signal controllers, and a variety of other hardware and software that entails applications of advanced electronics and information management to regulate and facilitate traffic flow. The report highlights best practices and recommends contracting strategies and contract types, terms, and conditions for ITS development, integration, system acceptance, warranty, maintenance, and upgrade. The research team that produced NCHRP Report 560 has also prepared NCHRP Web-Only Document 85: Considerations for a Guide to Contracting ITS Projects that describes their work and many interim results that may be of value to other researchers and professionals facing ITS procurement issues. In addition, the researchers developed an on-line tool that applies the NCHRP Report 560's decision-making process"--Publisher's description.
"The use of alternative contracting methods (ACMs) has accelerated the delivery of highway design and construction projects. These changes came about through efforts of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and state agencies over the last 30 years. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 939: Guidebooks for Post-Award Contract Administration for Highway Projects Delivered Using Alternative Contracting Methods, Volume 3: Research Overview provides the necessary methods and tools to help state agencies better administer Design-Build (D-B) and construction manager-general contractor (CM-GC) contracts on highway construction projects. This Research Report documents the rigorous process followed to produce these two Guidebooks. Vol. 1, on design-build delivery, and Vol. 2, on construction manager-general contractor delivery, are also available."--

In two volumes, Volume 1 covering series 100-600 and Volume 2 covering series 700-2600, this book aims to assist in the efficient production and scheduling of contract documents.
Outlines a strategy to better integrate transportation planning activities conducted by the States, local transportation officials, and the USDA Forest Service for federally funded projects that provide access to or within national forest land. The guidebook outlines the transportation planning process and serves as a primer on 1) which activities are eligible for funding; 2) where to find funding; 3) actions required for Forest Service managers to access and benefit from these funds and programs; 4) which agencies to partner with; and 5) how to integrate Forest Service objectives with State and local objectives.
Describes ways to select innovative contracting methods for use on Ohio Department of Transportation projects. Innovate contracting differs from conventional contracting by the use of incentives to motivate contractors to provide quality transportation facilities while minimizing travel delays and maintaining a competitive bidding process.
