The International Road Federation is pleased to announce that the latest edition of its Executive Seminar Series: Performance Based Road Maintenance Contracting will be held from October 31 — November 9, 2010 in Orlando, Florida at the Regal Sun Resort. International experts representing the fields of maintenance contract management, financing and sustainable transport policy development have been scheduled to present best practices and case studies in maintenance contracting.
The seminar will include a five-day program of presentations and discussions about Sustainable Maintenance Programs. Participants will engage in working groups with experts who are actively involved in maintenance contracting and asset management to discuss the application of best practices under different country conditions. Upon conclusion of the program of presentations and discussions , two days of field trips to local government agencies, a toll authority, contractor operations, and other points of interest will follow.
All engineers and managers who are involved in highway maintenance will benefit from this experience. Agencies that are seeking more effective mechanisms for privatizing maintenance programs will profit by sending key staff to learn from the experience of counterparts in the public and private sectors and from international financing institutions.
As part of a global effort to foster awareness of the importance of Sustainable Infrastructure Development, international lending organizations and donor agencies such as the World Bank currently provide loans and technical assistance to support the development and implementation of programs that will assist highway agencies and strengthen local commerce and industry.
