Abstract:The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has been using monetary incentive payments
for many years to improve contractors’ conformance with specifications and their overall
workmanship. It was envisioned that incentive/disincentive (I/D) payments would have positive
impacts on the long term pavement performance by extending its expected life. However, these
impacts have not been quantified, nor qualified. Hence, the department initiated and sponsored this
exploratory study to determine whether or not the available data elements in the MDOT data files
and project records could adequately support the analyses of the costs and benefits of the I/D
program and to perform preliminary data assessment.
Results of the study indicate that the MDOT data files and project records contain sufficient data to
perform only limited analyses of the costs and benefits of the I/D program.
