5 Concurrently, STAs were identified for follow-up interviews through the literature review and the survey responses. Specific details collected were: • Procedures and approach to estimating and setting contract duration, • Use of procedures for alternative delivery methods, • Use of contract provisions and contract types related to contract time, and • Effectiveness or performance evaluation of approach to setting contract durations.
