Cost Savings Through Asset Management
Most recognize that Benjamin Franklin quote. At ICA, we believe it applies perfectly to our country’s roadways and transportation assets. We share a common goal with state governments and transportation authorities to protect the nation's immense investment in roadways by improving performance and achieving significant cost savings.
ICA combines the principals of engineering, business management, economics and technology. With this we can offer comprehensive, performance-based maintenance on a particular stretch of roadway, bridge or facility for a set period of time at a guaranteed cost savings.
A Unique Business Process
ICA partners with state governments and other transportation agencies by collaborating to develop contracts based on performance rather than unit pricing. Governments can employ the expertise and resources of private companies on an as-needed basis; often resulting in tremendous cost savings.
Our performance-based contracts transfer the day-to-day administrative tasks to ICA. By developing a reliable, strong base of local subcontractors, ICA can work more efficiently while contributing to the local economy.
ICA Performance-Based Contract Benefits

We offer a proven 10–20% cost savings on current budgeted costs, while significantly reducing capital outlay cost for new equipment.
Guaranteed Maximum Price
ICA protects transportation departments from escalating costs and uncertain economic conditions with a fixed-price contract.
Cost Effective Subcontracts
As a private contractor, ICA is able to redesign contracts requiring redundant activities into lower-cost, multiyear agreements, resulting in lower bids. We also have the flexibility to establish relationships with a number of different qualified vendors, plus the market clout to ensure cost efficiencies.

Our ability to offer bonuses and other innovative incentives creates an environment where employees are motivated to reduce costs.

We also share the risk for certain extraordinary events by utilizing innovative private insurance policies.
Solomon™ Information Management System (SIMS)
ICA's information management system is a fully integrated system that estimates costs as well as plans and schedules needed work. We use it to generate work orders and allow extensive analysis and monitoring capabilities.
