As the scale and complexity of modern infrastructure continue to outpace traditional procurement methods, many public owners are establishing dedicated Alternative Delivery Offices. This session explores the organizational blueprint required to effectively embed alternative delivery expertise within a public agency.
Leaders from established DOT offices will share their experience building and evolving these specialized units—highlighting the internal culture shifts, staffing models, and legislative authority needed to advance major capital projects from concept through delivery. The discussion will examine key lessons learned during the early stages, including how agencies approach risk allocation within structures and maintain transparency and accountability to taxpayers.
For DOTs and public owners with limited experience, this session offers a practical roadmap for institutionalizing alternative delivery. For private sector partners, it provides valuable insight into the internal decision-making processes, priorities, and long-term pipelines shaping the next generation of major infrastructure projects.
