Q-U30. Can alternative delivery methods be used for projects funded under IIJA?

Yes. Section 723(a) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 (P.L. 118-63) amended 49 U.S.C. §47142 by revising the section heading to “Alternative Project Delivery” instead of “Design-Build Contracting” and expanding the allowable contract types from solely design-build to include progressive design-build and integrated project delivery methods, collectively referred to as “Covered Project Delivery Contracts.” See Section 3-43 and Table U-9 of the AIP Handbook. See Q-U24 for more information pertaining to cost reimbursement.
