Contract design change proposals
We recognize contractors may possess knowledge of technology, construction methods, equipment or materials, or can react to current market conditions that, if applied to the project, may provide an equivalent or improved final product at a reduced cost. We have developed a Contract Design Change Proposal (CDCP) process for contractors who have been awarded a contract to submit an alternative or design change. We encourage contractors to consider this process.
CDCPs can only be submitted after a contract is awarded to a contractor, but not before. The contract requirements for CDCPs are contained in Specification 1.2, General of the General Specifications for Highway and Bridge Construction.
See Contract Design Change Proposals for more information.
