Overview

Performance Based Road Contracts (PBCs) represent a significant shift away from more traditional approaches to the delivery and maintenance of road infrastructure and associated services, with focus placed on measurable outcomes and the incentives to the achievement of those outcomes. As part of a global effort to foster awareness of the importance of Sustainable Infrastructure Development, international lending organizations and donor agencies such as the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development are increasingly providing loans and technical assistance with a PBC component to support the development and implementation of programs that assist highway agencies and strengthen local commerce and industry.
This Executive Seminar includes a program of presentations and discussions about PBCs and how they can help road agencies meet their desired outcomes. Participants will engage in working groups with experts who are actively involved in maintenance contracting and asset management to discuss the application of best practices under different country conditions. All engineers and managers who are involved in highway maintenance and operation will benefit from this experience. Agencies that are seeking more effective mechanisms for privatizing maintenance programs will profit by sending key staff to learn from the experience of counterparts in the public and private sectors and from international financing institutions.
