| Abstract | As a part of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highways for LIFE initiative, a Federal grant of $1,000,000 was provided to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for this project, which was in addition to FHWA’s 80 percent contribution under the Federal-aid highway funding program. This project is a result of ODOT’s I‐70/I‐71 Split Planning Study, Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision, which described a program of construction projects for reconstruction of the existing interstate highways in and around the central business district of Columbus. The project consisted of reconstruction of the I‐71/I‐670 interchange, including 0.58 miles of I‐71 and 1.16 miles of I‐670. The project also included construction of connections between the freeways and the local urban corridor street system and a total of 19 bridge structures, including 2 long curved bridges over the interchange area (I‐670 eastbound and the connector road from I‐670 eastbound to I‐ 71 northbound). The key innovation of this project was a two-step best-value based design-build (DB) procurement method of contracting for construction. The DB method is an innovative contracting technique which allows the contractors to develop and propose innovative design methodologies and optimize their capabilities. DB is not a standard practice for ODOT and this type of contracting was expected to cut construction time in half |
