Best-Value Procurement Methods for Highways Construction Projects

"Best-Value" procurement is increasingly being recognized in the highway construction industry as a way to incorporate quality and other important factors in the procurement process, and enhance the long-term performance and economic value of the work.  The objectives of NCHRP 10-61 are to develop:

• Best-Value procurement methods for use in awarding highway construction projects;
• Screening criteria for selecting projects that would be appropriate for Best-Value; and
• Strategies for overcoming barriers to implementation.
