Initial Assessment of the Current Contract Time Determination Systems Used by TxDOT
The accurate estimation of the project contract time can be a challenging task for the Departments of Transportation (DOTs). A realistic schedule allows the project completion within the targeted time and budget. Despite meticulous planning and careful scheduling, some projects may still get delayed. Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has been experiencing enormous delays in many of its projects. It has been hypothesized that this source of delays is attributed to the scheduling tools/systems currently used by the department. TxDOT currently has two systems available to determine the contract time, which are: 1) Texas contract time determination system (CTDS); and 2) highway production rate information system (HyPRIS). This paper focuses on evaluating those systems as reliable tools for determining the contract time. Historical data from previous projects were used to statistically compare and analyze the performance of these systems; and to draw final conclusions about their reliability.
