ADOT Construction Manager at Risk Guidance Document available for Comment

ADOT has released a draft copy of its Construction Manager at Risk Guidance Document for comment.  The original document was developed through an AGC, ADOT, ACEC stakeholder task force in 2006.  Since then a number of revisions have been made to address documentation requirements, procedures each CMAR contractor should follow and recent changes to ARS 28-7361.  Comments are due no later than Friday, October 1, 2010.  Please forward your comments to amcgennis@azagc.org

Public Private Partnerships

On July 13, 2009, Governor Jan Brewer signed into law HB 2396, which allows the Arizona Department of Transportation to use public-private partnerships as a tool to address Arizona’s transportation requirements.  This new law grants the Department broad authority to partner with the private sector to build or improve Arizona transportation facilities.  The new authority gives ADOT additional methods to fund the construction and enhancement of roads, transit and other transportation facilities.

Although often thought of simply as “toll roads”, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs, or P3s) actually allow for many options to fund and construct new and enhanced facilities.  With the passage of HB 2396, ADOT now has the legal authority to explore these options.

Over the next several months, the Department will be developing rules, policies, procedures and guidelines to provide guidance to potential public and private partners.
