Bill Summary
For legislation relative to life cycle costs for long term pavement solutions. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill aims to require the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to conduct a life-cycle cost analysis for all pavement projects exceeding $1 million in total cost that are funded with state funds. The department must design each project using both hot mix asphalt (HMA) and plain jointed cementitious concrete (PJCC) and award the project to the material with the lowest life-cycle cost. The bill also mandates the department to conduct at least four PJCC demonstration projects per year for a minimum of 10 years to generate historical data for the life-cycle cost analysis. The goal is to identify long-term pavement solutions that minimize overall costs and improve performance in areas like friction, surface stress, noise reduction, and ride quality.
