Abstract:A common method of government contracting is seeking the lowest bid that meets project specifications. While this assures that money is saved upfront, it may not ensure other project values, such as delivery time, ability to address unforeseen situations, and durability of the contract’s products. Alternative contracting methods based on performance measured by these values were first used by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in 2000. Since that time, improvements based on experience have led to more widespread use. While managers have confidence in the effectiveness of AMC, it has never been formally studied.
