Utah Department of Transportation I-15 Case Study (Design-Build Contracting Strategy)

Abstract

Because there is great potential for additional public works agencies using design build (best value) strategies, a need exists to document the salient features of the I-15 project. By studying this enormous project, the successes and lessons learned may be applied to the next negotiated project. In addition, if the contract continues on its successful path additional progressive legislation may be petitioned from state agencies seeking to increase the construction value for tax dollars expended. Towards this end, this report documents the pre-award and construction of Interstate I-15 reconstruction. More specifically, this case study captures the background information used to support the design build contracting strategy decision, challenges, innovations, significant construction methods and factors contributing to the project success.
