Title:

Beyond Compliance Contracting: Toward Sustainable Performance in the Transport Infrastructure Life-Cycle

Accession Number:

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

Complexity necessitates searching for inclusive and adaptive public-private arrangements for delivering road infrastructure during the whole life cycle. Such arrangements integrate the stages of Design, Construction and Maintenance, in order to achieve more efficient, sustainable and liveable delivery. This paper investigates if linking stages in the infrastructure life-cycle leads to more sustainable performance, by investigating the application of integrated Design-Build-Finance-Maintain (DBFM)-contracts in the Netherlands through expert interviews and case studies. It is argued integrated contracts lead to optimizations in life-cycle costing and management, because of linkages between Design, Build and Maintenance stages. Sustainability of DBFM-contracts can be increased by applying green procurement in early stages of the project life-cycle, considering strategic asset management in later stages and applying cooperative relational contracting.
