This digest summarizes the findings of the research conducted under NCHRP Project 10-79 to develop guidance pertaining to the quality-related pay adjustment factors used for flexible and rigid pavement construction. Highway agencies generally specify certain quality measures for the acceptance of pavement construction. However, because many factors influence construction operations, characteristics of the constructed pavement (e.g., material properties and smoothness) will generally vary somewhat from those specified. Such variance will affect pavement quality and performance and, therefore, will affect the highway agency and road users. To account for the value lost or gained by the variance from the specified values, many highway agencies incorporate quality-related pay adjustments in the form of incentives and disincentives in the construction contracts of flexible and rigid pavements.
