ITS Delivery in Large Design-Build Transportation Projects

Delivery of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) as part of a large design-build project results in numerous challenges for government contracting agencies. Th is paper presents the challenges faced by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) in developing design-build contracts for the delivery of ITS on several large design-build transportation projects over the last ten years. This paper describes the two-phase selection process – Request-for-Qualification (RFQ) and Request-for-Proposal (RFP), and innovated procurement strategies that WSDOT has used on its design-build contracts with a focus on ITS delivery. A key discussion will include how to use the Systems Engineering Process (SEP) in design-build and how to provide flexibility and encourage design-build contractor (design-builder) innovation while meeting existing system integration requirements. This paper also outlines several significant findings from the recent SR 520 Bridge Replacement and HOV design-build projects. Finally, recommendations are provided for addressing ITS delivery issues on large design-build transportation projects.
