Join us for the May ASCE NCS Section Meeting in an exciting new lunchtime format featuring a three‑course seated meal with a plated entrée, with coffee, tea, and soft drinks included.
Over lunch, we will explore how procurement and project delivery strategies are shaping today’s tunnel and heavy infrastructure market.
As projects grow more complex and competition tightens, owners and delivery teams are reexamining how risk is allocated, how teams are selected, and how projects are brought to market.
The program will highlight current procurement trends in the U.S. and abroad, drawing on real‑world experience with Design‑Build, Progressive Design‑Build, CMAR, and P3 delivery models. Through practical insights and built project examples, attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how delivery strategy influences bidder participation, project execution, and overall project success on complex infrastructure programs.
