Draft Warranty Implementation Plan (0-4498-P4)

This document provides the warranty contracting implementation plan developed for TxDOT Project 0-4498. The TxDOT plan is based on guidelines for warranty contracting developed for the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP). These existing guidelines were modified to fit within the TxDOT design, contracting, and maintenance system. Warranty specifications were developed for hot-mix asphalt concrete, surface treatments, and micro surfacing. The purpose of the implementation plan is to provide TxDOT local office personnel with the information necessary to successfully implement warranties. The plan provides the steps that the local office has to take to implement a warranty contracting program. Local offices that are planning to implement warranty contracting for the first time and districts that have previous experience with warranties can both make use of this guideline.
