We undertook a quantitative analysis of uncertainty in a road improvement projects to be delivered under an alliance arrangement with the local road authority; the purpose was to establish a realistic ceiling price for funding and to develop a target cost for the alliance contract that would generate appropriate incentives for all the alliance parties and support an appropriate sharing of risks and rewards between them

Baulderstone Hornibrook
