Why A New Procurement Tool?
• Creates a consistent, repeatable, predictable process for
alternative project delivery
• Ensures transparency and accountability to the public
• Increases competition and value delivery
• Signals legislative support for the process
• Checks and balances to reduce project delivery problems
• Spur innovation and creative project approaches
Procurement Process

• What other state procurement tools are open to me
(impacted by Tier status)?
• What other non-state procurement tools are available (real
estate foundations, etc.)?
• What in-house capabilities do I have for review or do I
need outside experts?

facilities?
