Author Description

Historically, airport capital construction projects entailed the almost exclusive use of the design-bid-build (DBB) delivery method involving the separation of design and construction services and the sequential performance of design and construction. However, over the past two decades, airports have increasingly been turning to alternative project delivery methods to improve the speed and efficiency of the project delivery process.ACRP Research Report 267: Selecting, Procuring, and Implementing Airport Capital Project Delivery Methods, from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, is designed to tailor delivery strategies that include a thorough understanding of the unique advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches available and the typical conditions under which they have been effectively applied.
