The Lifecycle of a Transportation Design-Build Project - TPEP 004
Channel: The Professional Engineer Podcast
Date: 06/02/2022

In this episode, Matt overviews how heavy civil transportation projects - roads and bridges - are born.  How are the conceptualized?  ?  What is the difference between a conventional "Design-Bid-Build" project vs a non-conventional "Design-Build" project?  What is the procurement process and contract award procedure for Design-Builds?  What is the final design procedure and how are released for construction plans achieved?  How does the Design Engineer of Record support construction as the project is being built?  And, How is regulatory compliance for Environmental, Socioeconomic, and Cultural factors achieved?
This is a solo episode as I work towards building a foundation of episodes before I start inviting guests on.  Thank you for joining me on this journey!
