Performance-Based Construction Contractor Prequalification. A Synthesis of Highway Practice

摘要

Performance-based construction contractor prequalification seeks to add contractors past performance to the prequalification process. Performance criteria may include construction quality, keeping to schedule, and safety record. This report summarizes experience and practice of state transportation agencies and includes information from non-transportation construction. The focus is on design-bid-build projects; however, there is also information on design-build and construction manager/general contractor projects. Information was gathered through a literature review augmented by content analyses of administrative prequalification documents and Requests for Qualifications. A survey was administered to state transportation agencies and Canadian provincial transportation agencies. Finally, structured interviews were conducted with construction contractors to obtain an industry perspective.
