Abstract

The paper describes the main features of contract work for road maintenance and improvement under the Output and Performance-Based Contracting for Roads (OPBC). Experiences in the application of such contracts for the roads are reviewed. Road agencies that have adopted an OPBC approach have achieved cost savings from 10 % to 40 % compared to traditional method-based contracts. During the period 2004 ÷ 2008 Serbia implemented the Output Performance-based Maintenance Contract (OPBC) for routine road maintenance pilot project within Transport Rehabilitation Project financed by World Bank. The main results and conclusions are presented.
