B-1 Appendix B ATC "Better Than or Equal To" Assessment Introduction Alternative Technical Concepts (ATCs) provide a means for proposers to modify contract requirements for a competitive advantage (Gransberg, et al.

B-2 The implementation of standard VfM assessment processes in ATC contracting would make it easier for DOTs to justify ATC accept/reject decisions and would facilitate a more transparent process decreasing the risk of claims from contractors. DOTs trust that any potential claims "that may arise regarding conducting an ‘apples to apples' comparison of proposals is resolved by requiring the ATC to meet the ‘equal to or better' standard" (WSDOT 2010)

B-3 agency needs to identify the key areas for comparison between potential ATCs and original contract requirements (evaluation areas – e.g. cost, time, quality, traffic control, and environmental impact)

B-10 The research team recognizes that many of the concepts discussed above will be burdensome to DOT if they are implemented. The comments received from both the practitioner members of the research team and the industry steering group indicate that conducting a full-blown VfM analysis on the order of those done for P3 projects is unrealistic.
