The Assistant Chief Engineer of Alternative Delivery and P3 leads TDOT’s efforts to utilize innovative contracting methods to deliver infrastructure solutions to Tennessee. Alternative delivery methods include Design-Build (DB), Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC), Progressive Design-Build (PDB), and Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. P3’s allow TDOT to engage with the private sector to deliver Choice Lane solutions in congested urban areas.

About P3s

Public-Private Partnerships (P3) are partnerships formed between public entities like TDOT and private companies, allowing Tennessee to better allocate the limited resources for transportation projects by leveraging private-sector innovation and capital. In addition to the assigning responsibilities of designing and constructing projects, P3s allow the TDOT to bring a private partner to support the finance, operation and/or maintenance of projects, such as the Choice lanes. P3s allow for shared risks, accelerated project delivery, access to additional capital, long-term view of asset management, and may result in the reduction of public costs, with debts privately financed without any obligations to the state. As a result, Tennessee can offer enhanced and expanded mobility options faster and with improved driver experience and quality, all while freeing up state funds to continue providing transportation improvements in rural communities, such as replacing or improving existing bridges or roadways or widening the interstate system to three lanes.
