The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have entered into a programmatic work plan agreement to approve the use of Alternative Technical Concepts (ATC) on any federally-eligible Design-Bid-Build construction projects when deemed appropriate and beneficial according to the guidelines set forth in MoDOT’s Engineering Policy Guide (EPG), Article 147.1. With this agreement, MoDOT and FHWA agree to programmatically approve the use of ATCs, a form of “innovative contracting” identified under the FHWA’s SEP-14 program, without requiring a specific work plan and approval for each individual project.
