Maintenance of Traffic and Construction Sequencing Strategies for I-15
1:30 - 3:00 pm, Monday, June 27, 2016, University of Wyoming Convention Center, Salon E
The procurement process for the I-15 “The Point” Design-Build Project in Utah included a unique scoring approach to minimize impacts to the traveling public. Proposals for the 7-mile urban interstate reconstruction project included MOT duration costs, which defined impacts of various traffic configurations implemented through the construction. As a result the selected design-builder provided contractual commitments to traffic control the optimized the smooth flow of traffic throughout the reconstruction.
This presentation will cover how using design-build and sequencing creates a quicker solution.
