Capital Program Webinar - CT Alternative Delivery Program

Join us on Tuesday,  August 20th for our Capital Program Webinar series with Belinda Hon, Chief, Office of Innovation Design and Delivery at Caltrans. Innovative Contracting Techniques provide alternate methods of awarding and delivering projects. Efficient delivery of projects requires the selection of the most appropriate award and/or delivery method for a particular project. Caltrans has been an industry leader in developing a framework of alternative methods for contracting and procurement of work for capital projects. Join us to hear from the Caltrans Office of Innovation, Design, and Delivery about this trailblazing program.
