Fragrant and aromatic, page-37

I know what you mean. I think we are on the same page,.

Re performance specs, those cost savings that you mention would cost the contractor less and those costs would mean a lower tender price and better chance of being the lower bidder.

GDOT have grappled with prescriptive versus performance. Here's a link to a post that may better explain it. Note that the link won't direct you directly to the article but worth reading if you can find it. I'll try and find it tomorrow.
