This paper describes how the Elizabethtown Water Company used experience from the United Kingdom to introduce a cost reimbursable contract, with targets for price and time. The contract was used to successfully deliver a critical pipeline project on time and to budget. The reasoning behind the decision to select this progressive form of contract, which, it is believed, has not been used in the northeastern US before is summarized. The paper also describes: the method by which the contractor was selected; details of how the contract fairly shares the risks, promotes a shared incentive to reduce costs and is designed to encourage cooperative working; and, the actual performance of the contract up to January 2002. Includes figures.
