Alternative Technical Concepts. (a) Any HTP Contractor may propose an alternative technical concept (“ATC”) under the terms of a relevant HTP procurement. The TSC shall conduct an analysis and make a recommendation regarding the ATC within ten (10) business days of the TSC’s receipt thereof, unless otherwise extended by the GDC CEO. The TSC shall provide a briefing on all proposed ATCs and present its analysis and recommendations during an executive session of the GDC Board. For the avoidance of all doubt, in the event that the TSC cannot present a unanimous recommendation it shall present arguments for and against any ATC when it briefs the GDC Board. Following the briefing, a determination on the ATC will be rendered by the TSC based on input and guidance provided by the GDC Board. All ATCs recommended for award at the conclusion of the procurement process shall be subject to the approval of the GDC Board at such time.
Alternative Technical Concepts. 3 Sections 3.1 through 3.8 set forth a process for pre-Proposal review of ATCs conflicting 4 with the requirements for design, construction and maintenance of the Project, or 5 otherwise requiring a modification of the Technical Provisions. This process is intended 6 to allow Proposers to incorporate innovation and creativity into the Proposals, in turn 7 allowing ADOT to consider Proposer ATCs in making the selection decision, to avoid 8 delays and potential conflicts in the design associated with deferring reviews of ATCs to 9 the post-award period, and, ultimately, to obtain the most value for the public. 10 ATCs eligible for consideration hereunder shall be limited to those deviations from the 11 technical requirements of the as-issued Contract Documents that result in quality and 12 performance (which phrase, as used in this Section 3.0, includes reliability and utility) of 13 the end product that is equal to or better than the quality and performance of the end 14 product absent the deviation, as determined by ADOT in its sole discretion. A concept 15 is not eligible for consideration as an ATC if, in ADOT’s sole judgment, it is premised 16 upon or would require or result in:
