Preliminary Agenda
Learn the Fundamentals of CMGC & Design-Build
Increased use of alternative project delivery methods such as Design-
Build (DB) and Construction Manager-General Contractor (CMGC)
by transportation agencies requires contractors to learn new skills.
ARTBA’s comprehensive Project Delivery Academy will help you learn
the fundamentals of alternative delivery methods in four core areas:
• Procurement models/contract structure;
• Project pricing provision models;
• Developing responsive submittals to requests for qualifications
(RFQ) and/or requests for proposals (RFP); and
• Post-award contract administration.
