A Guidebook for the Evaluation of Project Delivery Methods

Abstract

TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 131: A Guidebook for the Evaluation of Project Delivery Methods examines various project delivery methods for major transit capital projects. The report also explores the impacts, advantages, and disadvantages of including operations and maintenance as a component of a contract for a project delivery method. A companion publication to TCRP Report 131 is TCRP Web-Only Document 41: Evaluation of Project Delivery Methods, which explores pertinent literature and research findings related to various project delivery methods for transit projects. TCRP Web-Only Document also includes definitions of project delivery methods and highlights the existing selection approaches commonly used by transit agencies.
