What tools do we have?

The CTDOT now has more ways to:

  • Choose the right tool for the Job.
  • Provide the best product at the lowest cost.
  • Save time and money.
  • Protect the interest of the Taxpayers.
  • Construction Manager at Risk and Construction Manager 
    Alternative project delivery methods. The CTDOT enters into separate contracts with a designer and a construction contractor. The construction contractor is brought into the design process at an early stage of development to provide input on items such as constructability, scheduling, phasing and costs. This method helps to reduces construction problems and promotes innovation which can help the project go smoother.
  • Design-Build 
    An Alternative project delivery method. Instead of separate contracts with the designer and contractor the CTDOT selects a design and build team to completed the design and construction of the project. This is a good method when time is of the essence since the design and construction phases can be overlapped. This method also allows the partners to come up with new ideas for how to get the job done more efficiently by using the contractors strengths.
