As transportation programs continue to grow in complexity, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has advanced its approach to collaborative project delivery through the refinement of Phased (Progressive) Design-Build and the continued evolution of Modified Phased Design-Build. This panel will explore how FDOT has reimagined team engagement, risk allocation, and negotiation strategies to achieve more predictable outcomes, enhanced innovation, and stronger cost management on major infrastructure projects. Attendees will hear success stories from recent projects where these approaches have yielded measurable benefits such as reduced costs, optimized schedules, enhanced constructability, and strengthened partnerships between FDOT and industry. The panel will offer lessons learned, best practices, and insights into how these evolving delivery models are shaping the future of Florida’s transportation program.
