CMGC Innovation• $25M savings through alternative design analysis and

construction innovation – DART Process

• $12M cost reduction in utility relocation – protect in place, means and methods analysis with utility owners

• $6M savings due to schedule compression

• $9.5M savings due to elimination of a rail bridge

Why was CMGC Right for MVC?• Stagger the contractor selection for I-15 CORE and MVC, while

maintaining similar construction schedules• Flexibility to develop and implement mutually beneficial solutions

for communities, utility companies, land owners, and UDOT• Innovative solutions that saved time and money• Flexibility to add or delete scope to project with a firm

understanding of pricing due to open book process• Informed decisions about future needs vs. initial construction

(phasing) based on contractor’s constructability review and estimate

• Risk had time to be mitigated due to early identification by the team of owner, designer and contractor

• Construction schedule coordination throughout the design process allowed for prioritization of key right of way purchases

Benefits of CMGC

• Deliver the Best Transportation Project at the Best Value

• Owner Makes Informed Decisions• Optimize Innovations • Risks Managed Throughout Project Delivery
