• Abstract:
  This report describes the results of a research project which explored the use of Incentive / Disincentive (I/D) contracting at
  
  the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The research found that I/D contracting is a relatively rare practice
  
  within ODOT. When I/D contracting occurs, the special provisions and parameters (such as setting incentive amounts) are
  
  managed on a centralized basis by a small group of individuals. These individuals have used engineering judgment to
  
  develop these provisions and parameters in an environment of little historical data. Most of the knowledge of I/D
  
  contracting resides with these individuals, and there is little summarized written information that others could use to also
  
  develop similar provisions and parameters. Nationally, there is a wide mix in the use of I/D contracting amongst the
  
  various departments of transportation (DOTs). FHWA and NCHRP have published reports that compile these experiences
  
  and provide recommendations for I/D contracting. This work at the federal level is the basis for the development of an
  
  ODOT methodology for identifying project conditions that could lead to the use of I/D contracts. ODOT’s Office of
  
  Project Delivery uses Operational Notices to document and disseminate operational procedures. A draft I/D Operational
  
  Notice is included in this report as a potential tool for implementation of the findings.
