Abstract:In 1997, The Louisiana House of Representatives passed Bill Number 1698, which addresses warranties in state contracts
for highway construction. This bill states that every contract for the construction of or improvements to highways will
include a warranty by the contractor as to the quality of materials and workmanship for a duration of three years. The
House asked the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to promulgate rules and regulations
to effectuate the purpose of warranties. In response, DOTD formed a committee to supervise the development of
warranties made up of representatives from DOTD, FHWA, and contractor organizations to conduct a comprehensive
evaluation of warranties in order to consider impact. This project summarized the efforts taken by the Department to
meet the legislative directive.
