First, the team reviewed the relevant TRB references and the "Scoping Study for an AASHTO Guide on Accelerating Project Delivery" to identify preliminary references, search terms, and appropriate search engines. The identified terms mirrored those in the proposal: • Project acceleration • Project management • Improving transportation project delivery/project delivery time factors/project delivery delays • Environmental streamlining • Bracketing planning and environmental analysis • Engineering quality survey mapping • Constructability reviews • Milestone reviews • Substantial completion reviews • Proactive ROW acquisition • A + B contracting • Incentive payments/disincentive penalties • Lane rental • No excuse completion dates • Innovative construction techniques Second, the team conducted a general Internet search for relevant resources and then progressed to a specific search using search engines available through Virginia Tech library subscriptions.
