Guidebook for Selecting Airport Capital Project Delivery Methods. ACRP Report 21

摘要

A variety of project delivery methods is available to the developers of public projects in the United States. While the traditional design-bid-build delivery method remains the most common, there is considerable interest on the part of airports in alternative methods of project delivery and the potential of these alternative methods to save money and time. The objective of this guidebook is to assist airports in evaluating and selecting the most appropriate project delivery method for their projects and in documenting this decision in a Project Delivery Decision Report. The guidebook is based on the fundamental premise that there is no one best delivery method for all projects, but that a project delivery method should be selected on the basis of each projects unique characteristics. This selection should be made by considering the advantages and disadvantages of competing delivery methods for the project under consideration.
