Abstract:

This synthesis examines practices related to the use of Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracting by transportation agencies for highway design, construction, and maintenance contracts. IDIQ allows for the delivery of services or products that are not known at the time the contract is executed. Sometimes called job order, push-button, on-call, stand-by, or master contracts, IDIQ provides a public agency with a great deal of flexibility to use the IDIQ contractor as much or as little as needed, depending on the requirements of the agency and the availability of funds. Information used in this study was gathered through a literature review, an analysis of IDIQ procurement documents from state departments of transportation, agency policy and procedure manuals, and follow-up interviews for examples. After an introductory chapter, the following chapters address: legal and contractual issues associated with IDIQ contracting; IDIQ procurement policies, procedures, and programs; contract administration procedures; and IDIQ contract examples. The concluding chapter summarizes effective practices and future research needs.
