The report authors firmly believe that all project delivery methods can be used to successfully complete airport projects. Nonetheless, each project has unique characteristics that will make a given project delivery method the optimal one for project delivery.

Choosing the proper project delivery method can play a major role in minimizing the impact on airport operation and flight delays. Complexity of Airport Projects Airport projects are often complex: "Airport projects have a whole series of special systems which are seen nowhere else, on an enormous scale" (Merkel and Cho 2003)

The risks associated with compressing a project delivery schedule are offset by the early return on investment. Evolution of Current Alternative Delivery Methods in Airport Projects Public procurement law has historically limited public entities to using only DBB project delivery.

The analysis of candidate project delivery methods must be undertaken within the context of a given delivery method, procurement method, contracting process, and management method to ensure that the result is specific both to the project and to the airport organization that will ultimately deliver the project. The remainder of this report will focus on its subject: selecting an appropriate project delivery method.

Also, as the constructor is selected on a basis of qualifications and past performance and must have the capability to perform preconstruction services, CMR project delivery can constrain competition to those constructors that have previous CMR experience. Most public CMR laws require 14 A Guidebook for Selecting Airport Capital Project Delivery Methods 2 According to AGC (2004)

Existing Selection Approaches for Project Delivery Methods Selection of the appropriate alternative project delivery method is a complex decision-making process. The decision should be made as early in the design phase as possible; preferably in the project scoping process and certainly before the final construction estimates for the project are ready.

Project-related parameters are those parameters that pertain to project duration: estimated cost, quality level, project risks, limits on schedule growth, project complexity, and so forth. Agency-related parameters mainly consist of the legal status of the agency, the role of a project in the objectives and plans of the agency, the availability of funds, the level of experience and competence of the agency's staff, flexibility needs in the construction phase, the level of risk assumption, the importance of preconstruction 18 A Guidebook for Selecting Airport Capital Project Delivery Methods

Tampa International Airport hired a DB contractor based on QBS at the beginning of project design and then a design-builder took the design to 60% complete while cooperating with airport staff. In most airports, the default delivery method is DBB; however, based on factors such as schedule compression, cost control, type of funding, control of design, and so forth, some airports may consider an alternative delivery method [Norman Y
