SPTC Short Course: Progressive Design-Build for Transportation Projects

Progressive Design-Build (PDB) is an integrated team approach to delivering large, complex projects that has seen a rise in popularity among DOTs looking to deliver technically challenging, major infrastructure projects within significant schedule and budget constraints. ODOT recently secured a $124M Federal grant for the Roosevelt Bridge project (the largest grant in the department's history) that includes consideration of innovative project delivery methods, like Progressive Design-Build, which provides a distinct opportunity for both the State of Oklahoma and its heavy-civil transportation market.

This SPTC short course will allow attendees to gain an understanding of how PDB works, case studies from other US DOTs, how PDB teams can be assembled, and the opportunities and challenges associated with this delivery method. The course will be delivered in a hybrid format with the opportunity to attend in-person or remotely (via Teams) and will consist of the following modules (2x AM & 2x PM), with an hour break for lunch:

Module 1: Introduction to Progressive Design-Build 

Module 2: State of the Practice: DOT Implementation of PDB

Module 3: Developing a Negotiated GMP

Module 4: Opportunities & Challenges for PDB

Target Audience: This course is designed for ODOT staff, General Contractors, Consulting Engineers, and other related design and construction professionals. Eight (8) professional development hours will be available.
