Design-Build Pilot Program Evaluation
This project's objective is to conduct a third-party evaluation of WisDOT's design build pilot program, and will do this through reviewing peer state programs, national best practices, the department's project selection and proposal evaluation processes, providing a full report with recommendations for process improvement. The external evaluation will establish criteria for WisDOT to use for ongoing evaluation of its alternative project delivery pilot program.
