Abstract:

Warren Brothers Company builds asphalt pavements in seven states that use statistically based end-result specifications that require contractor control of quality. Company experiences with these seven different specifications are described, and control systems developed to comply with the specifications are explained. Problems and their solutions are discussed, and contractor costs and benefits are tallied. On balance, company experience with end-result specifications has been favorable. It is shown that end-result specifications can be workable for contractors, and improvements that would be beneficial to both contractors and agencies are suggested. /Author/
