Abstract
This report documents the benefits and disadvantages of various project delivery methods for capital airport projects and provides guidelines for selecting an appropriate delivery method for a specific project. Project delivery methods considered are Design-Bid-Build (DBB), Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMR), and Design-Build (DB). A two-tiered project delivery selection framework is developed that can help the owners to evaluate pros and cons of each delivery method and select the most appropriate for their project. Tier 1 is a qualitative approach that allows the user to document advantages and disadvantages of each competing delivery method. The user can then review the results of this analysis and select the best delivery method. If at the conclusion of this analysis, a clear option does not emerge, the user then moves on to Tier 2. Tier 2 is a weighted matrix approach that allows the user to quantify the effectiveness of competing delivery methods and select the approach based on quantitative analysis. The framework developed requires the decision-makers to follow a logical and consistent procedure for considering all the relevant factors in project delivery selection. The process produces a Project Delivery Decision Report that documents the decision-making process and details relevant decision factors to fine-tune future project delivery decisions.
