Agency of Transportation Case for Change Public Expectations Post TS IreneDesign fastBuild fastABC Program approach to Innovation and AccelerationStandardized Approach


Agency of Transportation Recent History of Innovation

ARRA Sense of urgency for project developmentMany examples of innovative project developmentAlternative ContractingDesign/BuildSEP14 Use of MRA with simple biddingA+B bidding to support short duration closuresModified LTF Model for ARRA bridge decksAccelerated Bridge ConstructionIndividual LeadersWith short duration road closures6 successful projects last year including Chester x2


Agency of Transportation Defining the Accelerated Bridge ProgramFixing Bridges and Doing Business DifferentlyThe accelerated Bridge Program will rely on the use of innovative and accelerated project development and construction techniques.Reduce/streamline self imposed controls that add time to projectTake advantage of all flexibility in rules and law.Empower project managers to build agile and aggressive project schedulesIncrease use of innovative contracting one size fits all no longer worksAccelerated Bridge Construction is the future of bridge construction in Vermont


Agency of Transportation Good Bridge Management StrategiesBetter Project InitiationTimely programmingScoping, Estimate and ScheduleProjects selected appropriately for ABPInitially 25-30% of the projectsProjects drawn from existing programs and fundingCreate a Scalable organization

Agency of Transportation Accelerated Bridge Program (ABP) Goals and Objectives Improve the Condition of Vermonts Bridges Reduce the number of Structurally Deficient Bridges.Create and implement strategies to improve the long-term condition of all bridges.Improve the ability to deliver the Interstate, State and TH bridge programs at current funding levels.


Agency of Transportation ABP Goals and Objectives Save Money By Completing Projects Sooner Deliver timely bridge maintenance and repair to reduce future costly deterioration Hedge against construction cost inflation. Complete projects on-time and on-budget.


Agency of Transportation ABP Goals and Objectives Complete Projects Efficiently and Innovatively Create and implement strategies to shorten project delivery durations Maximize the use of available technology (electronic plans, data sharing, websites, etc.)Standardize design and plan preparationUse Design-Build and other innovative contracting techniques.Minimize environmental, ROW and utility impacts and design duration by avoiding temporary bridge construction


Agency of Transportation ABP Goals and Objectives Implement Accelerated Bridge Construction(ABC)Partner with contractors to mainstream accelerated bridge constructionCreate Decision Making tools to determine when to use ABC and road closuresCreate and implement strategies to shorten construction durationsReduce Construction Engineering costs by short duration projectsComplete projects with minimum disruption to people and commerce.Improve safety in the work zone


Agency of Transportation ABP Goals and Objectives Build on Success and Innovations from Irene and from other States/FHWADevelop working relationships with leaders from other states and FHWAProvide training and employee development based on what has been successfulLeverage FHWAs Every Day Counts Initiative to maximize flexibilityUse sense accomplishment and urgency from Irene to create an urgency and spirit of innovation around ABP projects in all Sections of VTrans


Agency of Transportation ABP Goals and Objectives Project Transparency and Accountability Provide frequent and detailed reports to the public on the progress of the ABP.Develop overall project controls to ensure adherence to project schedules and budgets within VTrans.Measure agency performance in streamlining design and construction schedules.


Agency of Transportation Draft Performance MeasuresAdvertise all bridge projects currently programmed by 2016The time from completion of project initiation to Contract Plans for ABP project will not exceed 24 months.The time from completion of project initiation to Contract Plans for conventional project will not exceed 60 months.30% ABC by 2014
