Innovative Contracting

Consultant Services may support the UDOT Construction Group in their efforts to procure designers and/or contractors for innovative contracting projects. Some of those innovative contracting methods are design‐build (DB), construction manager/general contractor (CM/GC), and progressive design‐build (PDB), which are briefly discussed below. For additional detail, see the Innovative Contracting website.

Design-Build (DB)

UDOT may seek to procure the services of a design-builder who will design and build a project based upon advertised concept plans. This effort involves a customized procurement process that may include an RLOI, RFQ, or Request for Proposals (RFP). Details will be outlined in the procurement documents customized for each project. Consultant Services may support this process, but the resulting DB contract is administered by UDOT’s Construction Division.

Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC)

UDOT may seek to procure the services of a CM/GC who will provide input to UDOT and their design consultant during the pre‐construction p hase o f a project. The i nitial contract wi ll be administered by Consultant Services. The CM/GC selected to provide these services will be given the first opportunity to provide a bid to construct the project. If a price is agreed upon, the CM/ GC may enter into a construction contract with UDOT to construct the project. This effort involves a customized procurement process that may include an RLOI or RFP. Details will be outlined in the procurement documents customized for each project.

Progressive Design-Build (PDB)

UDOT may seek to procure the services of a progressive design‐builder (PDB) who will provide design and other pre‐construction activities for a project under UDOT’s direction. The initial contract will be administered by Consultant Services. The PDB selected to provide these services will be given the first opportunity to provide a bid to construct the project. If a price is agreed upon, the PDB may enter into a separate construction contract with UDOT to construct the project. This effort involves a customized procurement process that may include an RLOI or RFP. Details will be outlined in the procurement documents customized for each project.
