MoDOT has delivered more than $1.9 billion in Design-Build contracts that have saved taxpayers over $305 million and were completed more than 95 months ahead of schedule. MoDOT leads the nation in partnering with the public and private sectors to deliver projects that maximize available resources into collaborative solutions that achieve goals. MoDOT’s Innovative Contracting Program includes Design-Build, A + B Contracting and Design-Bid-Build using Alternate Technical Concepts. 

In fiscal year 2020, two Design-Build projects were awarded in the St. Louis and Northeast Districts.  The I-270 North Project is MoDOT’s largest project in the last decade that will replace aging infrastructure, enhance safety and resiliency of the system and improve mobility for freight and passengers, all while creating an economic boost for nearby communities.  The I-70 Climbing Lanes at Mineola Hill will construct eastbound and westbound truck climbing lanes to enable traffic to flow more safely and replace bridges within the project limits. MoDOT used the ATC Process to deliver the I-49 Missouri/Arkansas Connector Project in the Southwest District which will complete the final five miles up to the Missouri/Arkansas border.  MoDOT used innovative contracting to deliver five of 439 projects in FY 2020 accounting for approximately 33% of the $1.14 billion program.  The two projects per year and 10% of program value targets were achieved. 

MoDOT pursues value throughout the life of a project utilizing the Value Engineering Program. MoDOT uses design-phase value analysis to identify opportunities for innovation, reduce project costs and improve project flexibility. MoDOT analyzed 29% of projects during design phase in FY 2020.  MoDOT also partners with industry to find more cost-effective solutions during the construction phase.  MoDOT approved 31 VECPs at a 92% approval rate, resulting in a MoDOT savings of $2.47 million. The 24% of projects analyzed and an increase in savings targets were achieved.     

Purpose of the Measure:

This measure tracks the use of innovative contracting methods on MoDOT projects including: Design-Build Contracts, A+B contracts, and Alternate Technical Concept contracts.  This measure also tracks the use of value engineering during design and construction on traditional MoDOT projects including: value analysis during the design phase and construction value engineering proposals. 

Measurement and Data Collection:

MoDOT projects utilizing innovative contracting methods are reported during the fiscal year in which they are awarded. Contract award values are collected through MoDOT’s bid opening summaries and project records.

A target of 10% of the programmed Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, or two projects per year, is an appropriate target for utilizing innovative contracting methods in Missouri.    

Information on value analysis during design is gathered from MoDOT’s Statewide Transportation Improvement Program information management system.

Construction value engineering change proposal information is gathered from Value Engineering data is collected through MoDOT’s Value Engineering Proposal database.
