RISProgrammatic Cost Risk Analysis for Highway Megaprojects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Highway megaprojects (construction projects over $100 million) are fraught with uncertainty. These projects have historically experienced increases in project costs from the time that a project is first proposed or programmed ...
Using Debiasing Strategies to Manage Cognitive Biases in Construction Risk Management: Recommendations for Practice and Future Research
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Construction risk management processes necessarily rely on subjective assessments and heuristic rules. Historic data are desirable, but rarely are available due to the unique nature of individual construction project and ...
Quality Assurance Organization Selection Factors for Highway Design and Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A project quality assurance organization (QAO) assigns project quality responsibilities and relationships, both for design and construction. In the highway sector, all project quality roles and responsibilities have ...

Design-Builder Selection for Small Highway Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper offers six case studies of design-builder selection for small publicly funded highway projects across the United States. Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Washington State Departments ...
Impact of Risk on Design-Build Selection for Highway Design and Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The design-build (DB) project delivery method continues to grow as a viable alternative delivery method for highway projects. The primary reason for selecting DB delivery is to take advantage of the time savings inherent ...
Educational Needs Assessment for Design/Build Project Delivery
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With the rapid increase in the utilization of design/build project delivery, there arises a need for continuing education of the professionals in this industry. This paper describes research conducted through a national ...
Life-Cycle Cost Award Algorithms for Design/Build Highway Pavement Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The nation’s existing highway infrastructure was procured on a low-bid basis. The recent trend toward design/build delivery offers an opportunity to compete life-cycle considerations as part of the procurement. Minimizing ...
Influence of Simplified Procurement Methods on Competition for Public Sector Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In response to problems of cumbersome regulations and understaffed public agencies, governments have worked to simplify procurement statutes and streamline processes. One of the most widely used simplified processes in the ...
Web-Based Decision Support Systems: Case Study inProject Delivery
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The decentralized nature of the construction industry contributes to difficulties in the implementation and dissemination of project management-based decision tools. The majority of decision support systems (DSS) are ...
