Design-Build Contracting.

Design-Build is the procurement method of choice for major toll road projects around the country. Design-Build allows for the contracting of both the final design and the construction in one contract. This allows for faster overall delivery times, better constructability processes, opportunities for innovation, and better cost certainty when going to contract. The Design-Build procurement process utilized by NCTA is a two-step process, which consists of creating a reduced candidate list based on responses to project advertisements, followed by submission of technical proposals and cost proposals. These are then utilized in a best-value determination for the project.
