IPRF Project 01-G-002-06-1Best Practices GuideOctober 2009PREFACEThis best practices guide is the product of Innovative Pavements Research Program (IPRF)Project 01-G-0002-06-1, Using Design/Build Acquisition for Concrete Airfield Pavements. Theprimary objective of the study was to develop a template that owners can use to define theattributes of projects that could be accomplished using design/build (D/B) acquisition and aguide for the use of D/B concepts for the acquisition of airfield concrete pavements projects.The technical report (under separate cover) documents the results of a literature survey, reviewof contract statutes, case study interviews, lessons learned, and performance evaluation forairfield pavement projects constructed using D/B acquisition, and it includes a critique of currentpublished guidance for D/B procurement. This best practices guide provides specific guidance toowners, airfield owners, engineers, specification writers, contractors, and contract inspectors asan education/training guide and as a criteria document that will assist the airport industry in theapplication of D/B acquisition for airfield pavement rehabilitation and construction.The IPRF Technical Manager for this project was Mr. Jim Lafrenz. The project review panelconsisted of Dr. Craig Rutland - Air Force Civil Engineering Support Agency (HQAFCESA/CEOA), Mr. Gary Mitchell - American Concrete Paving Association (ACPA), Mr.Carlton Lambiasi - Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Mr. Bob Benko - FAA (Retired),Ms. Susan Winslow - Delta Airport Consultants, Mr. Dean Rue - CH2M Hill, and Mr. MikeDevoy - RW Armstrong.Applied Research Associates, Inc.

Airports in North Dakota are a combination of asphalt concrete (AC) pavement and Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement with there being slightly more AC pavement than PCC pavement. These two pavement types have unique pavement distresses and repairs. The following is a brief description of commonly observed
