Abstract
There is a growing movement in the construction industry away from procurement through traditional low-bid methods toward Performance Based and Best Value procurement. Best value is achieved by contractors who optimise both price and performance. Until now there have been two major types of best value procurement: one-step and two-step. The major difficulty with both systems is finding an unbiased way to evaluate value vs. performance. This study explores best value as identified by artificial intelligence (AI). The paper covers a case study of the use of a Performance Based procurement system, called Performance Information Procurement System (PBIS), to obtain Best Value on roof replacement and mechanical systems replacement projects in public schools in the State of Hawaii.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
