Genesee Road Program: Frequently Asked Questions

back to Genesee Road

Q. I understand that some major road construction projects provide for "performance bonuses" for contractors to encourage them to complete the project on time and on budget, and that these are often quite effective. Have you thought of using performance bonuses in this way?
A. Yes, we are considering incorporating some sort of incentive structure, using both positive and negative components, in contracts for this project but that has not been decided yet. We agree that they can be very effective.
