AB274,1,2
1An Act to create 84.061 of the statutes; relating to: Department of 
2Transportation project cost reduction incentives.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides that a Department of Transportation contractor may at any 
time propose cost reductions to DOT by identifying alternative approaches to 
accomplishing the outcomes of the contract. If DOT determines that implementing 
cost reductions proposed by a contractor would result in a project of equal or better 
quality at a lower cost, DOT must amend the contract to authorize the 
implementation of the cost reductions, incorporate the cost savings, and provide 50 
percent of the cost savings to the contractor.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do 
enact as follows:

AB274,1

3Section 
1. 84.061 of the statutes is created to read:

AB274,2,3
484.061 Highway project cost reduction incentives. (1) A contractor 
5operating under a contract awarded by the department may at any time during 
6contract implementation propose cost reductions to the department by identifying 
7alternative approaches to satisfying the technical requirements or other outcomes 
1identified by the department, including alternative maintenance of traffic, 
2alternative pavement sections including subbase, alternative structures and 
3drainage, and alternative lines and grades.

AB274,2,8
4(2) If the department determines that implementing cost reductions proposed 
5by a contractor would result in a project of equal or better quality at a lower cost, the 
6department shall amend the contract to authorize the implementation of the cost 
7reductions, incorporate the cost savings, and provide 50 percent of the cost savings
