“…The cross-check in the Scopus database suggested two main streams of the current success studies, and both indicated focusing and narrowing. The first stream is related to the particular type of engineering project, such as highway construction (Alleman and Tran 2021;Choi et al 2020), power sites (Abdel-Basset et al 2021), petroleum and petrochemical industry (Faraji et al 2021;Shariatfar et al 2019), space industry (Decadi 2021), waste treatment (Uren et al 2021), or IT (Hussain et al 2021). Significant research was conducted of highway construction projects, in which a link between contracting methods and criteria such as schedule, cost, and change orders was investigated (Choi et al 2020), as well as procurement method (Alleman and Tran 2021).…”

This paper presents the findings from a study of the breakdown of project success criteria. An exploration of the evolution of studies on the success of engineering projects over decades was the basis for a project success definition proposal. Using a comprehensive literature review of success criteria for engineering projects, a list of 133 different success criteria was identified. Those criteria were analyzed to develop an integrated framework of project success criteria, describing its hierarchical decomposition. Such a breakdown structure could serve as a starting point when setting project success criteria for a specific project, because the importance of criteria will be context dependent. Practitioners or stakeholders could discuss and tailor it based on specific features of engineering projects or specific needs and interests. Generally, criteria have evolved from simple work-related factors to focusing more on the complex benefits of the projects. Such an evolving success definition has implications for further studies of project success and might contribute toward a long-term vision in which all projects will be delivered successfully.

“…In US design-build best-value procurement, highway agencies consider non-cost factors (Choi et al 2020;Papajohn et al 2019) by including a wide variety of evaluation criteria. However, previous research has pointed out that the selection of design-builders is heavily skewed toward price (FMI 2018;Gaikwad 2019).…”

Structured Approach for Best-Value Evaluation Criteria: US Design–Build Highway Procurement

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In best-value procurement, current practice shows that cost is frequently more influential than non-cost factors, and consequently, the lowest bidder is chosen in most of the cases; thus, a best-value selection is not achieved. Designbuilders cannot offer the best-value in their proposals if evaluation criteria do not show precisely what constitutes best-value and how best-value is scored. Thus, the aim of this research is twofold: first, to identify how highway agencies articulate evaluation criteria; and second, to propose a structured approach that enhances current practice on writing evaluation criteria. Through the lens of decision analysis, the researchers conducted a content analysis on 540 evaluation criteria included in 98 requests for proposals (RFPs) from 21 states across the United States (US). The study showed that 43% of evaluation criteria were generic, 53% used a generic constructed scale, and 4% assigned points or levels directly. These three groups represent different levels of specificity in writing evaluation criteria.Building upon these levels and on decision analysis theory principles, this research proposes a structured approach to support highway agencies in the process of crafting evaluation criteria.

“…The EPC model has been used in public construction projects invested by the government in more and more countries, and has achieved good performance [ 1 ]. In the past two decades, the use of EPC model instead of DBB model which in the order of "design, bid, then build" in public projects has become the main practice in developed countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union [ 2 – 5 ].…”

The key to promoting the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) model in China’s public construction projects is to alter the path dependence of a project owner’s choice of project delivery model (PDM). This study uses evolutionary game theory to discuss the mechanism of government incentives as an external motivation to alter path dependence in the PDM. In addition, a cellular automata simulation to examine the influence of various government incentives on the project owner’s choice. The results show that the combination of subsidies and penalties can produce the best incentive. Subsidies are more effective at promoting PDM institutional change, whereas penalties are more effective at preventing PDM institutional change from anti-recession effects. Based on our results, we propose that the Chinese government should take active subsidy measures at the initial stage of EPC promotion, and adopt a dynamic incentive strategy of continuously reducing subsidies and increasing penalties according to the improvement of the development degree of EPC model.
