TRB Webinar: Practices for Establishing Contract Time for Highway Projects

TRB conducted a webinar on Thursday, July 12, 2018 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET that featured research from the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)’s Synthesis Report 502: Practices for Establishing Contract Completion Dates for Highway Projects.  

This webinar discussed approaches for estimating contract time for highway construction projects. Establishing contract time is an important part of the highway project development process because it directly impacts project costs, the public, and risk for contractors. The presenters focused on approaches used nationally as well as advanced approaches currently being investigated. 

The slides are available. Contact Reggie Gillum at RGillum@nas.edu for a copy of the recorded webinar.
