      <title>LINEAR PROGRAMMING-PHASE II -SOLUTION OF THE MULTIPLE DISCOUNT PROBLEM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/90974</link>
      <description><![CDATA[THE REPORT PRESENTS A TECHNIQUE CAPABLE OF DETERMINING OPTIMAL SOLUTIONS TO MULTIPLE OFFERS OF QUANTITY DISCOUNTS FROM DIFFERENT DELIVERY POINTS. AN EXAMPLE OF THE TECHNIQUES APPLICATION IS INCLUDED IN THE REPORT. THE EXAMPLE COVERS GASOLINE SUPPLIERS BIDDING ON THE NEEDS OF ONE, TWO, OR ALL DISTRICTS WITHIN A STATE, WITH THE NUMBER OF LOCATIONS BID LEFT TO THE SUPPLIERS DISCRETION. WITH THIS CHOICE, EACH PROSPECTIVE SUPPLIER COULD OFFER ALTERNATIVE BIDS. BY DETERMINING THE COMBINATION OF BIDS REFLECTING THE GREATEST ECONOMIES OF DISTRIBUTION AND SCALE, AS OUTLINED IN THE REPORT, THE STATE MAY OBTAIN THE LOWEST COST GASOLINE. /BPR/]]></description>

      <title>OWNER-FURNISHED EQUIPMENT (OFE) CONTRACT PRACTICES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/284150</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Owner-furnished Equipment (OFE) procurement is a contract administration technique utilized on many construction projects to save costs and time.  Presently, little is known factually about the specific tactics that contribute to a successful OFE procurement, or what the magnitude of those benefits may be.  This article presents the results of a comprehensive research study of OFE practices, problems, and benefits.  Fifty-five OFE construction projects are analyzed, allowing a series of conclusions and recommendations to be developed.  The major points examined include: characteristics of typical OFE projects and products; the quantified extent of project benefits and costs realized; the likelihood and consequences of related contract disputes; effective contract monitoring strategies; and whether owners or third-party contract administrators should manage the supply contract.]]></description>
