Abstract:

Before the 1980s the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation managed the various functions that surround construction contracts by using an unwieldy combination of manual and automated procedures. One of the department's major data processing development projects during 1981-1982 resulted in the implementation of a new contract management system. That system, which is now used to administer construction contracts, enables contracts personnel to capture initial design estimates, maintain a standard items catalog, develop bid proposal packages, maintain a library of standard special provisions, tabulate and evaluate bids, certify and monitor all contractors, prepare the contract itself, track contract-contractor relationships, monitor automated pricing data on standard items, adjust active contracts via work orders, estimate and process payments to contractors, forecast cash flow requirements, monitor any litigation, and close out completed projects. The background, basic characteristics, and costs and savings of Pennsylvania's contract management system are described.
