The implementation of warranty provisions in construction contracts is considered an innovative contracting practice that is used by many highway agencies including the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). The major underlying benefits of warranty provisions from the perspective of state DOTs include increased quality of the products, lower maintenance and project life-cycle costs, protection against early project failures, and reduction in site inspection. However, there are several problems that arise from the use of warranty provisions such as an increase in the initial bid price as compared to similar but non-warranty projects, a reduction in the number of small contractors bidding on these projects, the unwillingness of surety companies to issue long term bonds, and the possible increase in contract disputes and litigation.
TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 699: Guidelines for the Use of Pavement Warranties on Highway Construction Projects is designed to help guide state departments of transportation (DOTs) in establishing pavement warranty programs.
Objective of conference is to define knowledge and technologies needed to design and develop project processes and to produce high-quality, competitive, environment- and consumer-friendly structures and constructed facilities. This goal is clearly related to the development and (re)-use of quality materials, to excellence in construction management and to reliable measurement and testing methods.
