PROCEEDINGS OF THE WORKSHOP ON INTERNATIONAL TRANSIT TURNKEY AND JOINT DEVELOPMENT. SESSION 6: PROJECT CONTROL

Session highlights are as follows: (1) The role of the turnkey contractor is a new consideration in project management and control. (2) While the roles of the agency/owner, the designer and the contractor are well established on conventional projects, turnkey projects may require different project controls depending on the turnkey approach and conditions. (3) In the Federal Transit Administration Turnkey Demonstration Projects the innovative procurement necessitated additional control measures as contrasted to conventional procurements. (4) There are examples of minimal project controls on turnkey highway projects with complex systems components. These should be analyzed for their applicability to transit capital projects. (5) The owner's management philosophy, teaming approach, and the quality and competence of the turnkey consortium all influence and impact the degree and type of project management control.
