The Collaboration Chronicles are an ongoing effort by the AGC Public/Private Industry Advisory Council (PIAC), the AIA-AGC Joint Committee and the Construction Owners Association of America (COAA) to capture and share the results from successful project collaborations.
Collaboration Chronicles highlights a new project this month:
Interstate 5 Willamette River Bridge CM/GC
Not only was the Interstate 5 Willamette River Bridge replacement the largest bridge replacement project undertaken by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), it was the first project using Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) delivery. The CM/CG contractor, Hamilton Construction Company and Slayden Construction got to work with ODOT two years ahead of schedule while the design was still underway resulting in the project’s four month early completion, coming in $18 million under budget. This case study shows how trust, integrity and teamwork transformed a complicated project into new partnerships.

The Chronicles provide sound, concrete evidence about the benefits of collaboration. The industry has been proclaiming the value of collaborating for years, but many of these Chronicles detail from the owner's perspective, how collaboration contributed to the project's bottom line.
