Abstract:

This synthesis examines practices related to the best value bid approach to procuring highway construction services. Best value procurement is a process to select the most advantageous offer by evaluating factors in addition to price. These factors may include schedule, technical merit, management solutions, and past performance. The report documents practices that enhance objectivity, fairness, and transparency of the selection process. Information used in this study was gathered through a literature review, a survey of state departments of transportation (DOTs), analyses of DOT requests for qualifications (RFQs)/ requests for proposals (RFPs), and follow-up interviews for case examples.
