CTC draft clarifies alternative delivery methods and consistent project segmentation for SCCP

California Transportation Commission · August 3, 2026

Summary

Staff proposed clarifications to Sections 12 and 13 of the SCCP guidelines to confirm use of alternative delivery methods (design-build, progressive design-build, CMGC) follows existing programming/allocation processes and to require a final engineer's estimate before construction-phase allocation.

Commission staff proposed specific language in Sections 12 and 13 to clarify how projects using alternative delivery methods should be handled in SCCP programming. The presentation listed design-build, progressive design-build and construction manager/general contractor (CMGC) as examples and said the guideline updates establish consistent project segmentation standards across SB1 programs.

Naveen Habib said the updates "confirm that projects using alternative delivery methods follow the existing programming and allocation process and that a final engineer's estimate is provided before the construction phase allocation." He also noted the guidelines do not grant or restrict contracting authority; implementing agencies must operate under their statutory contracting authority.
