Background
On October 8, 2008, the FHWA
published an NPRM proposing to
require State departments of
transportation (DOT) and other public
authorities to negotiate for and obtain
fair market value as part of any
concession agreement involving a
facility acquired or constructed with
Federal-aid highway funds; to amend
FHWA regulations to permit public
agencies to compete against private
entities for the right to obtain a
concession agreement involving such
facilities; and to amend the design-build
regulations to permit contracting
agencies to incorporate unsuccessful
offerors’ ideas into a design-build
contract upon the acceptance of a
stipend.
The original comment period for the
NPRM closes on November 7, 2008.
During the comment period, the FHWA
received requests for additional time to
analyze and submit comments regarding
the rulemaking. The FHWA recognizes
that additional time will allow
interested parties a broader and more
comprehensive review and discussion
of the proposed regulations; and then,
allow the development and submission
of complete responses to the docket. To
allow time for interested parties to
submit comprehensive comments, the
comment period is being reopened until
November 21, 2008.
