abstract = "The adoption of alternate project delivery systems such as design-build projects by an increasing number of state highway agencies in order to help them deliver the projects more quickly is discussed. The cause for adoption of such methods lies primarily in their ability to compress the schedule by overlapping design and construction. As state highway agencies move farther in this direction it is incumbent upon them to first plan carefully during the procurement phase to ensure they choose qualified teams. The agencies draft contracts and specifications that place sufficient checks and balances in place so that these project delivery methods return quality equal to or better than that obtained under the traditional methods.",
