INFRASTRUCTURES * USA - New rule allows states flexibility to build roads, bridges faster
USA -eTrucker -21 Aug 2007: -- States will have more flexibility to build roads and bridges faster under a new rule allowing design work and environmental reviews to occur concurrently, U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said last week... The final rule amends Federal Highway Administration regulations to allow states to use various innovative contracting methods ranging from basic design-build contracts to long-term public-private concession agreements while simultaneously pursuing federal environmental approvals... The rule also increases the opportunity for smaller projects to use design-build contracts by eliminating a required dollar amount for projects.
