2003 - NZ - A Review of Achievable Efficiencies and Associated Issues Under Output and Performance-Based Contracts

This paper discusses direct roading network management experience with a variety of State Highway and Territorial Local Authority networks. The paper discusses the currently employed delivery methods namely the Conventional, Hybrid and Performance Specified Maintenance Contract (PSMC) contract methods and examines the efficiencies, which have been realised in terms of both reactive maintenance expenditure and the outcomes achieved on the ground with respect to network condition as it is currently measured for two specific examples.
