TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Renewal Project R07 has released a prepublication, non-edited version of a report titled Implementation Guidelines: Volume I: Strategies for Implementing Performance Specifications: A Guide for Executives and Project Managers that is designed to provide a broad overview of the benefits and challenges associated with implementing performance specifications. Recommendations are provided regarding the various cultural, organizational, and legal considerations that can affect the successful implementation of performance specifications.

SHRP 2 Renewal Project RO7 also produced Implementation Guidelines: Volume II: Developing and Drafting Effective Performance Specifications: A Guide for Specification Writers that presents a flexible framework that specifiers may use to assess whether performance specifying represents a viable option for a particular project or project element, and if so, how performance specifications may then be developed and used to achieve project-specific goals and satisfy user needs; and Performance Specifications for Rapid Highway Renewal that describes suggested performance specifications for different application areas and delivery methods that users may tailor to address rapid highway renewal project-specific goals and conditions.
