Abstract
Traditionally, IDOT delivered all its program for construction and maintenance through the Design-Bid-Build (DBB) delivery method. Over the years, IDOT has taken the risk for project delays and cost over runs. Many state DOTs have explored innovation in project delivery to include innovative designs, construction methodologies, financing as well as operations and maintenance. The benefits of such delivery methods are more predictable and well managed projects as well leveraging private sector investments to deliver the project earlier than the pay-as-you-go approach. IDOT is currently contemplating the delivery of some of its projects utilizing the innovative approaches to address congestion, operations efficiencies and updating its assets. In this presentation we will discuss what IDOT is doing in identifying, screening, developing and delivering complex public private partnerships (P3) and Design-Build (DB) projects.
