This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research addresses legislative impediments inherent to working in the government construction industry by investigating whether benefits exist when using alternative project delivery methods, and whether legislative limitations allowing the use of alternative project delivery methods impede any such benefits from being realized. The research begins by defining the project delivery method process, and explains in detail the four primary types and how they function. The research then provides a qualitative study that presents the perceived advantages and disadvantages of each method. Then, a second literature review provides an overview of previously published research in project delivery method selection, and examines federal and state legislative trends to establish the growing debate associated with alternative project delivery methods, focusing on the design-build method of project delivery. Finally, a quantitative analysis is presented to test whether federal and state legislative limitations influence the realization of any benefits of alternative project delivery methods, and specifically design-build, for federal projects. Project characteristics from the U.S. General Services Administration Capital Construction Project database are tested. The research suggests that when an alternative project delivery method, specifically design-build, is chosen, there are benefits in time and cost savings, and the ability to use the alternative project delivery method is affected by the removal of federal and state legislative impediments.

This book was released on 2021-04-14 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the project financing process from the perspective of a wider and more general group of stakeholders by addressing the three key elements of cash flow; collateral/support structures; and risk management. Following a detailed description of project financing in the first chapter, the authors discuss the project financing process, modelling and risk management, public private partnerships and project financing in practice including the use of the principles in a range of different contexts. A sound understanding of project management is fundamental to successful project financing, as is the need to have a clear plan for a project to communicate the essential information that different stakeholders require.A successful project financing starts with the different phases of a project and descriptions of the key risk areas include the challenges in estimating the cost of a project and the general principles of financial modelling with a discussion of the unique aspects of financial modelling for different industries. Throughout the book, short recent international case studies are used to illustrate successful and unsuccessful projects allowing the lessons learned to be visible and there are many examples of specific applications of project finance techniques throughout the text.Bundle Set: Project Financing (Analyzing and Structuring Projects & Financial Instruments and Risk Management)

Download or read book Quantifying Causes, Schedule, and Cost Impacts of Change Orders written by Nelson Han and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most professions who are engaged in the highway construction industry would commonly concur with an idea that the project cannot be delivered with no change. Regardless of considering different contract methods or what so ever, contract change orders (CCO) are yet inevitable due to unforeseen utility conflicts, unpredicted geology, and other unanticipated conditions. No matter of the project location and/or condition, the CCO negatively affects the project in aspects of project cost and schedule. The main purpose of this study is to carefully examine the influences of change orders in infrastructure development projects in the schedule and cost aspects. The aim of this study starts with collecting Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) 9 years of solid data that contains abundant information of CCO in highway projects completed in the state of Florida. In addition to the data, it contains 2,990 infrastructure projects completed between 2002 and 2011, 43,000 change order types, 8 contract methods including conventional (D/B/B), Design-Build (D/B), Incentive/Disincentive (I/D), No Excuse Bonus, Lump Sum, etc., and 7 major types of projects. These detailed and vast data was utilized to evaluate each method's performances affecting projects on cost and schedule aspects by carrying quantitative analysis, such as graphs, box plots, etc. Lastly, the research hypothesis test, which utilized regression analyses, Q-Q plots, scatterplot matrixes, etc., was conducted to verify the data variation, normal distribution, equal variances, correlation, etc. The research results reveal that the innovative methods perform better than conventional in aspects of saving project cost and time. In addition to the innovative methods, D/B is the most effective method that saves both cost and time of projects. I/D compresses project duration but often causes project cost overrun. And Lump Sum significantly saves the project cost but causes project schedule overrun. This study will help interstate transportation agencies with a proper guideline to choose an ideal delivery or contracting method for a project. By providing the information of each method's advantages and disadvantages, it is expected to significantly reduce the agencies' time and expenses required to deliver projects.

This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy makers often call for increased spending on infrastructure, which can encompass a broad range of investments, from roads and bridges to digital networks that will expand access to high-speed broadband. Some point to the near-term macroeconomic benefits, such as job creation, associated with infrastructure spending; others point to the long-term effects of such spending on productivity and economic growth. Economic Analysis and Infrastructure Investment explores the links between infrastructure investment and economic outcomes, analyzing key economic issues in the funding and management of infrastructure projects. It includes new research on the short-run stimulus effects of infrastructure spending, develops new estimates of the stock of US infrastructure capital, and explores incentive aspects of public-private partnerships with particular attention to their allocation of risk. The volume provides a reference for researchers seeking to study infrastructure issues and for policymakers tasked with determining the appropriate level and allocation of infrastructure spending.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renewing and expanding national infrastructure is critical to the wellbeing and productivity of Canadians and is one of the foremost challenges confronting our federal, provincial and municipal governments. Not only are the required investments dauntingly large for all three levels of government, but so too is the required level of intergovernmental cooperation if our goals are to be realized. The 2015 State of the Federation volume advances our understanding of these infrastructure challenges and identifies how best to resolve them. The contributors to the volume provide historical or international comparative perspectives and utilize legal, economic, or administrative approaches to examine the nature and magnitude of the so-called infrastructure deficit and the question of how best to finance the necessary investments. The possible roles played by deficits and debt are considered, together with options such as public-private partnerships and asset recycling, and a possible Aboriginal resource tax to finance the on-reserve infrastructure needs of First Nations. Considerable attention is also paid to pricing the use of infrastructure both to achieve efficiency in use and to avoid excess demand and an exaggerated perception of the required level of investment. Other contributors examine the infrastructure-investment-decision processes at the federal and provincial levels and consider the optimal allocation of responsibility for infrastructure investments among the different levels of government, and the related issue of the role of intergovernmental transfers to underwrite this allocation.
