RISM-PERT: Manual Project-Duration Estimation Technique for Teaching Scheduling Basics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) has become a classic project management tool for estimating project duration when the activities have uncertain durations. However, despite its simplicity and widespread ...
Scoring Rules and Competitive Behavior in Best-Value Construction Auctions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper examines the extent to which engineers can influence the competitive behavior of bidders in best value or multiattribute construction auctions, in which both the (dollar) bid and technical nonprice criteria are ...

Quick Abnormal-Bid-Detection Method for Construction Contract Auctions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Noncompetitive bids have recently become a major concern in both public and private sector construction contract auctions. Consequently, several models have been developed to help identify bidders potentially involved in ...
Standard Deviation of Bids for Construction Contract Auctions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Previous research has confirmed that the distribution of bids for construction auctions can be reasonably modeled with Lognormal distribution. The location parameter of this distribution (the mean μ) has been found to have ...
