Synthesis of Innovative Contracting Strategies for Routine and Preventive Maintenance Contracts

Abstract

TxDOT is faced with a need to expand their maintenance contracted services due to shortage of in-house personnel and expertise. As a result, TxDOT had a need to investigate maintenance contracting strategies to identify those efficient strategies that might be implemented to help them achieve their maintenance goals. This study investigated current maintenance contracting practices in TxDOT and other state DOTs, and produced a selection framework, guide and case studies to assist maintenance personnel in selecting and implementing appropriate contracting strategies for maintenance outsourcing. A prototype selection algorithm was created to help decision makers identify contracting strategy for achieving outsourcing goals and accommodating maintenance circumstances.
