Owner and Contractor Choices and Dilemmas: Contemporary Project Delivery Options
Governmental agencies have increasing options for project delivery and contractual arrangements when procuring and constructing public infrastructure projects. Contractors face the dilemma of selecting the right projects in which to invest their limited pre-construction financial and staff resources. This research investigates the project delivery and procurement methods selected for three large public bridges: Third Crossing Bridge in Kingston, Ontario, the Highway 53 relocation bridge located near Virginia, Minnesota, and the Warman and Martensville interchanges bridges in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Data collected through structured interviews with key stakeholders from the respective public agencies and Kiewit Corporation, the common contractor for the projects, compares tri-party/integrated form of agreement (IPD), construction manager/general contractor (CM/GC), and design-build (DB) project award processes and decision-making from the perspectives of the governmental agency and the general contractor. The research results in a comparative diagram summarizing the key advantages and challenges of these project delivery options for use by owners and contractors in their procurement and decision-making processes.
