Description

Project Bundling is a method of awarding a single contract for several preservation, rehabilitation, or replacement projects. You may have heard about bundling’s impact on large-scale projects and bridge bundles; but be assured that bundling is an effective means for local agencies to reduce costs, optimize available funding, speed project delivery, and attract qualified contractors.

In this brief presentation you will be introduced to the concept of project bundling and find out how the approach might benefit your agency. You’ll learn successful practices from several recent projects and find out about next steps you can take to implement the project bundling approach.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn the basics of project bundling.
