Module Overview

AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS is the original historical database and bid analysis software. An integral part of the client/server version of AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS is widely regarded as the premier software product for the analysis of highway construction bid and project data. 

The system is built around a relational, open architecture historical database specifically designed to provide decision support in the following areas:

  • Bid monitoring and evaluation
  • Vendor (contractor) analysis
  • Contract analysis
  • Item price estimation
  • Collusion detection
  • Planning and budgeting process

This historical repository contains information from all phases of the estimating, bidding and contract lifecycle along with analysis models to support the wide variety of management information requirements.

AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS provides both standard models and ad hoc analysis capabilities, permitting each agency to use the available information to meet its own needs.

Because of the collusion detection aspects, AASHTOWare Project BAMS/DSS is only available to Member and Associate-International Member agencies.
