Other businesses and manufacturers must guarantee their work, so why aren't road builders held to the same standard?   Answer: Thanks to the passage of Build Michigan II, MDOT has begun investigating the practical use of warranties on road repair and construction projects. Several projects completed in 1998 included 5-year warranties from the contractor. These projects were in the Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and metro Detroit areas. MDOT is weighing the additional cost involved with warranties against the cost of repairing the roadways ourselves.
