- Abstract:
The objective of this research is to show that proper outsourcing may result in an increase of roofing system performance (on time, on budget, and meeting the user’s quality expectations). The Dallas Independent School District is attempting to increase roofing construction performance by using a best-value system called the Performance Information Procurement System. The District had the following sub-objectives: 1) increase competition, 2) increase the level of service of contractors/manufacturers, 3) minimize management and inspection requirements, 4) increase the quality and performance of roofing construction, 5) increase the warranty period and improve the response to warranty issues, and 6) increase the overall value of roofing construction by offering longer service periods with lower maintenance costs. The PIPS roofing tests met all of the DISD objectives.
