Abstract:The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Highway Division amended and reissued its Cost Recovery Procedure in 2017. Overall, the procedure has been successful; however, there is still room for improvement, including earlier participation of design consultants in addressing conflicts and discrepancies that result in construction change orders, and better coordination with design consultants who can be found liable for additional construction costs related to design errors. The objective of this research was to gather and analyze information regarding best cost recovery practices used by state departments of transportation (DOTs) and to identify opportunities to modify and enhance, as appropriate, MassDOT’s existing Cost Recovery Procedure. The research team found that many of the key elements are already included in the current MassDOT Cost Recovery Procedure. Overall, the completeness and level of detail of the 2017 MassDOT Cost Recovery Procedure are on a level similar to that of the elite group of six state DOT cost recovery procedures analyzed in this research. Several areas where the current MassDOT Cost Recovery Procedure could be further improved are presented in this report.
