The purpose of this report is to provide the reader with an overview of the use of warranty contracting for highway construction projects and to further recommend how the state of Montana might implement this approach for selected demonstration projects. The paper begins with a brief description and discussion of the various elements and issues of warranty based roadway design and construction. The manner in which other states have addressed these issues is then described. Finally, specific suggestions are made about how Montana could proceed with warranty based demonstration projects.
