Abstract:
"This issue contains 12 papers that are concerned with various aspects of construction management and project delivery or with construction quality assurance. Specific topics discussed are as follows: correlating bid price with the number of bidders; quantifying savings for rapid bridge construction technique; sliding-scale contingency for project development process; effects of project cost reduction methods; roadway construction sustainability impacts; performance-based contractor prequalification; coordination of design contract with preconstruction service contract; optimization of equity capital structure in public-private partnership contracts; duration of design-build procurement effect on performance of transportation projects; optimum sample size for percent-within-limits specifications; statistical applications and stochastic analysis for performance-based specification of asphalt quality assurance; and probabilistic performance-related specifications methodology based on the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide."--pub. desc.
