Innovative Projects

Georgia DOT is committed to delivering a transportation system focused on innovation, safety, sustainability, and mobility. Georgia DOT utilizes alternative delivery methods such as Design-Build and Public-Private-Partnerships (P3s) to deliver some of our state’s much-needed transportation infrastructure.

House Bill (HB) 577 was enacted during the FY 21 Legislative Session, which amended the Georgia Code to allow Alternative Contracting Methods (ACM). Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) is one of the alternative delivery methods Georgia DOT leverages.
