Instead of the usual focus on the upfront project planning, funding and procurement process aspects of transit projects, this panel will focus on lessons learned in the implementation and contract administration phases of these projects (construction and operating stages). Topics to be addressed include alternative strategies and tools to establish:
- Early alignment in the adherence to project objectives by all key players
- Constructive working relationships and lines of communication
- Effective governance structures, pragmatic approaches to contract administration (reviews/approvals, change orders, payment/performance etc)
- Effective dispute mitigation and avoidance measures and practices
