Today’s topic comes from an article from Construction Dive titled, Pennsylvania Lawmaker Proposes Legislation to Prevent 'Change Order Scheming' on State Projects.

The state is claiming that Cherry Hill Construction was using change order scheming on the Mount Rose I-83 Interchange project.
Dr. Isaac Kashiwagi explores the question of whether or not legislation can solve the issue of change order scheming and poor project performance. According to the research and the Best Value Approach, high performance can only come from utilizing expertise. These laws might not be a long-term solution if companies are awarding contracts based on verifiable performance.
