Bill > S2587

This bill aims to give state and municipal agencies the autonomy to determine the types of culvert pipes to be used in the construction of state-funded roadways. The key provisions are that the selected pipe material must be designed to last at least 75 years, meet AASHTO structural integrity and testing requirements, be made of non-combustible and non-toxic materials, and maintain hydraulic design capacity throughout the project's lifespan. This allows for greater competition and the use of alternative pipe types beyond the traditional options.
