Job Order Contracting process speeds emergency highway repairs in Arizona

摘要

A 200-year monsoon dumped as much as 1.7 inches of rain on House Rock Valley, Ariz., in August 2015. Torrents of water damaged the roadway and culvert system designed to channel flash-flood rains under the highway. When skies cleared, the Arizona Dept. of Transportation (ADOT) was tasked with removing tons of sediment that ranged from silt to 15-foot-diameter boulders so repairs to the roadway and drainage system could be completed.
