TRB conducted a webinar on Thursday, October 22, 2015 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM EST that presented information from
NCHRP Report 801: Bidding Alternative Drainage Pipe Systems. This report discusses a performance-based methodology to guide transportation agencies on the selection and bidding of drainage pipe systems. The methodology is intended to be a framework, used in conjunction with other resources. The webinar also presented an introduction to the software currently being developed to streamline the bidding process, and will present results from case studies that have used alternative bidding.
A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who registered and attended the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at
