List of Dispute Review Board Candidates

The process for selecting DRB members is outlined in the Specification subsection 105.23 (b) Formation of Dispute Review Board.

The CDOT Project Engineer and the Contractor project staff should contact their selected DRB member to determine their availability and disclosures. The DRB member will review the CDOT Code of Ethics and Nominee Disclosure Guidelines, complete the CDOT Dispute Review Board Nominee Disclosure, and return it to the party that contacted them. When the DRB has three members, the CDOT and Contractor selected DRB members should contact the third member to determine their availability and disclosures.

Once CDOT and the Contractor have agreed on the Dispute Review Board, the Engineer will prepare the CDOT Form 1379, Dispute Review Board Three Party Agreement for signatures and distribution. Include the completed CDOT Dispute Review Board Nominee Disclosure for each member when routing the Form 1379 for signature. The Board signs first, followed by the Contractor, and the CDOT Chief Engineer signs last.

DRB members may not perform work or submit invoices until the CDOT Dispute Review Board Three Party Agreement is fully executed. The process for DRB member reimbursement is outlined in the Specification subsection 105.23 (m) Cost and Payments and the Dispute Review Board Three Party Agreement.
