FHWA is pleased to announce the release of the Contracting Alternatives Suitability Evaluator (CASE) webtool. CASE can help project teams to evaluate risk and support decisions regarding the appropriate contracting method for multiple situations. The webtool allows you to:
- Rapidly compare and rank short-term contracting methods (i.e. Design-Build (DB), Design-Build-Finance (DBF), Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC), and Progressive Design-Build (PDB)
- Evaluate financing benefits and long-term impacts of Public-Private Partnerships (P3) contracting on cost, schedule, and quality of service.
- Use a rigorous quantitative and qualitative evaluation approach that is consistent, understandable, defensible, and performance driven.
A webinar to introduce the webtool is available to all, and will be held on Wednesday, March 3 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. PST. The webinar will be recorded, and a link to the recording will be sent to all those who register.
