The type of work will dictate
the type of specification used.
Examples of most can be found in the new spec
book.

Eliminate method specifications wherever possible.
MoDOT’s Goal:
![Page 6: Performance Specifications T. E. A. M. St. Louis Presentation October 8, 2004.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e5e5503460f94b57dc0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Performance:
Describes how the finished product should perform over time. Other than warranties/guarantees, performance specs had not been used in highway construction.

Method:
Specification that directs the contractor to use specified material in definite proportions and specific types of equipment and methods to place the material.

How are they different?
Rather than providing the detailed steps, we tell the contractor what finished product we want.

•As of November 2000, over half of the state DOT’s were using performance specifications in one form or another.
•June 1994 - US Secretary of Defense directed the reform of military specifications and standards.•The idea caught on, and state DOT’s began using them in limited applications.
History:

Missouri will be the first state to entirely revise its specifications
to performance wherever possible.
