Learning about alternative delivery
TxDOT's Alternative Delivery Program (ADP) is responsible for delivering major infrastructure projects using a best-value contracting approach. The Alternative Delivery Division provides information and tools to support projects from early planning and procurement through construction and ultimately roadway maintenance.
At the program level, available resources include guidance on statutory authority along with self-paced training modules that introduce program structure and processes.
Resources are also organized according to project phase:
- Pre-Procurement
- Procurement
- Design & Construction (D&C)
- Operations & Maintenance (O&M)
Topic areas within these phases offer tools, templates, and guidance designed to support project management throughout the project's lifecycle.

Pre-procurement resources
During the Pre-Procurement phase, TxDOT analyzes projects to determine which would be most suitable for the DB delivery method. A quarterly report illustrates TxDOT’s planned procurements for the next five to ten years.
Projects identified to be in Pre-Procurement have dedicated pages on the TxDOT ALD Projects page with project-specific information and resources.
