Framework for performance specifications : guide for specification writers / by Scott, Sidney,author.(CARDINAL)328984; Konrath, Linda K.,author.(CARDINAL)330690; Ferragut, Theodore R.,author.(CARDINAL)286962; National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board,issuing body.(CARDINAL)141287; Second Strategic Highway Research Program (U.S.),sponsor.(CARDINAL)307610;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 73-74).Introduction to performance specifications -- Developing performance specifications -- Overview of guide performance specifications."This guide and the associated materials provide a framework that state DOTs can use to develop performance specifications; they include sample specifications language and implementation guidelines for both managers and specification writers. The objective of this project was to develop performance specifications and strategies to accelerate construction, minimize disruption to traffic and community, and produce long-life facilities in the interest of rapid renewal. The final report documents the methodology used to create the products that were developed as part of the project. The products of the research include (1) guide performance specifications for different application areas and contracting mechanisms, which agencies can tailor to address project-specific requirements; (2) an implementation guide for executives and decision makers, which presents a broad overview of the benefits and challenges associated with implementing performance specifications; and (3) a guide for specification writers, which provides a step-by-step "how-to" guide for developing performance specifications and using the model performance specifications that were developed as part of this project. The report, supporting guidelines, and model guide specifications will be useful to state DOTs, municipal agencies, consultants, and construction contractors. These products provide a starting point for an agency that wants to investigate the use of performance specifications as part of its routine operations"--Foreword.
