In the past, Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation has used the traditional model of project delivery to develop priority infrastructure projects for government-supported and government-owned infrastructure. In this model, the government generally funds 100% of the facility either by providing a capital grant to the SIO (partial funding of post-secondary institutions) or by building its own facility. The design/bid/build procedure is used to tender and build the project. This traditional approach involves extensive work before the project is approved and funded. Formal sets of guidelines and procedures are used throughout the three-stage process of planning, design and implementation.
